    Yeah, the difference is really night and day on FE Optimus vs. RiD. It's outstanding. Speaking of which, I'm still selling a sealed FE Optimus, and I'm only asking $20...

    Oh, and I'm also dropping the price on the loose FoC Bruticus I'm selling to $55, in case anyone's interested.

    So while I was at work today, I checked the computer for MP-10 just for kicks. While there weren't any in stock there or any other nearby TRUs for that matter, I was surprised to see the price jumped up again. Bunker Hill had it listed at $142.99 while the online listing went up to $129.99.

    This is getting ridiculous. Most everyone that wanted one has one by now, but still.

    No kidding. This is unreal. Even worse is that if you ask a manager or something, they know the original price. They're aware of the increase, but can offer no explanation. Bunch of crooks...

    TRU on 360/183 had a new case of Generations DLX figures and a case of TF Prime Voyagers. I saw them on the top shelf. The also had Vortex and another combaticon on the peg. Prices on them are up to $15.99 from 14.99 but they supposedly price match.

    TRU on 35/parmer had a bunch of GDO powerdives and megatrons.

    I guess GDO Leaders are out in Canada and there's a Starscream too? I'm in Kitchener, Canada and hit a TRU here. They had those two so that was a nice surprise. No FE Voyagers though :( 
    ugh, the leaders, they cost over $45 though with the exchange rate

    Base prices aren't determined by anyone in the store. I think any kind of markups above base price in a particular location(like Bunker Hill) are automatic and based on volume of the store.

    Even when I help customers, if it comes up, I'll bring up how expensive things are/can be. There's this one flimsy looking Batpod thing that rings up for $32. Which is crazy. It looks like it's worth $20 tops.

    FE Prime Voyagers at TRU Lewisville. Grabbed one of two bulkheads, stuck the other behind the AT AT on the bottom shelf. Go get it!
