either i'm getting very cheap, h: or hasbro is milking their fans for everything they're worth..

 

I think Joe's retailed for $3.79 a figure in the 80's. With the box breakdown, that's a $1 increase over 25 years.

It's not too bad.

 

There is a milking going on.

 

they even have their little guns and everything.

 

i'm with reno ... action figures are too much money these days :hs:

i is passing up on this offer

 

personally.. i just dont need any action figures.

 

Snake Eyes was my favorite.

 

According to the inflation calculator ...
What cost $3.79 in 1983 would cost $7.63 in 2006.



and try this again with a TF Omega Supreme
What cost $59.99 in 1985 would cost $112.25 in 2006.

TF Metroplex
What cost $34.99 in 1986 would cost $63.19 in 2006.

and Optimus Prime
What cost $26.99 in 1984 would cost $52.67 in 2006.

with Grimlock
What cost $16.99 in 1984 would cost $33.16 in 2006.


So it's not that stuff is expensive now ... it's really always been like that. If you had lots of toys growing up, thank your generous parents.

 

except that that stuff is much cheaper to make nowadays, i'm sure.

 

drew makes good point


but that $50 i see being better spent put towards a new tv
