    You think that's bad? Try $39.99 for the Whirl/Bludgeon set, $51.99 for leaders, and $34.99 for HA BB at ToysRus?

    Don't complain...come over to Europe to see the Euro prices on TF's.

    18 Euros for Deluxes
    30 Euros for Voyagers
    60 Euros for Leaders

    do the math...

    Scout Class figures are 10.99 at Walgreens. ELEVEN BUCKS!!

    It's a shame, the hobby is way overpriced.

    In Canada, Campers would tell this story 'round campfires as legends. Needless to say, we were in awe.

    Some of my local targets had a problem with that during the tail end of Animated and Universe. One location had Deluxes for $10.99, another for $11.99, another for $12.99 and another for $14.99. Voyagers fluctuated between $21.99 and $24.99, depending on the store, and Activators were ~$8.50 at some stores and ~$9.50 at others.

    Life sure is tough, eh? Try the UK or any Scandinavian country if you want 'expensive'.

    That's not expensive. Try Australia. Scouts? $16. Deluxes? $25. Voyagers? $50. Leaders? $88. Try that, especially on $12 a week. I DARE you.
