What's the price point?

[pandaprime]

29.99 EACH!

The Rescue Mission set has 4-figures and is only 34.99....

[CobraCommander]

Ouch! I'll wait patiently for a sale :/

[CTO15]

aren't this things like 12.99 in the states?

29.99 is ridiculous!

Are you serious????????? how is Zellers able to get away with this?????

Someone has to post this to Hasbro as a question, why such a price difference???

I actually thought I might pick these up in Canada when I saw this post, but not at that price.. would rather drive 2.5 hours and pick them up at Target than pay that highway robbery price!

at first I wasn't sure about the price, but after looking at the target website

http://www.target.com/G-I-Joe-Barney...i%20joe&page=1

it seems that 12.99 is the reg price in target. And 9.99 on sale!

this is really ridiculous that these figures are being charged more than twice what US consumers are paying

Zellers is always out to lunch with thier prices.

That price won't last beyond a month.
Probably be $16.99 in 2 weeks.

Despite the prices, I'm still extremely happy these came out here in Canada at mass retail. For those of us who can't go stateside, we can at least wait for the prices to drop over time.

Someone in Barrie on the Ontario sightings forum recently reported that Zellers had the Target exclusive R.H.I.N.O. with Rampage (a.k.a. Heavy Metal) for $79.99. Yes, that's pricey...but the fact that it's available here is still good news for us Joe collectors who don't want to pay a fortune for it at collectible stores and toys shows, or eBay.

Now if only Zellers could start carrying some of Mattel's Target exclusive DC Universe Classics figures...
