Re: Toys R Us Canada & Their Increasingly Insane Prices
My TRU buddy in Warcraft hype looked up the 6" figures on the system to see if they were there. They're listed at $34.99. Not sure how smart that is... And the individual cost for the store is around $19, so they're looking for even bigger profit than with NECA products. Doesn't seem like the best way for a movie tie in line to succeed. Though I suppose there's at least the possibility of a sale for these figures.
Comparatively, a Marvel Legend costs the store $18 which they then charge $24.99. Quite the discrepancy from these Warcraft figures.
Edit: just an update, Jakks products actually have an associated fob cost, which I'm pretty sure means TRU has to pay some shipping for the products. However I can't imagine it affects every unit. The fob costs are pretty low but if they were per unit then there is practically no profit on any Jakks product (and a loss on some, which makes no sense) so I highly doubt that's the case.
