Re: wtf? price of toys?
Our toys are bad now it's down to bot shot transformers and the many versions of spider-man. I bought Black Widow the other day while not a bad figure her legs were a cheap rubber plastic which meant she can't stand properly.
Spock, where the hell's the power you promised?

Re: wtf? price of toys?
Also... to give you a retailers view, the case selections are awful. I'm sitting on more Roadblocks and Snake Eyes and Ninja Turtles than you can shake a katana at. The TMNT figures come in cases of 6 and you get the 4 turtles and 2 others at random, the current wave of Retaliation figures come in cases of 12 and you get 2 Battle-Kata Roadblocks and 2 Ninja Duel Snake Eyes and another Snake Eyes and Sneak Attack Storm Shadow figure, all of which were in the earlier waves.
The markup on the TMNT is non-existent for a smaller retailer, they cost me just over £7 each wholesale without delivery yet Asda can sell them for £5 each and still make a profit, same with Star Wars figures, £65+ for a case of 12 plus VAT and delivery means I make about £2 a figure if I sell them for RRP.

Ok I'm gonna look like a fool but I've sold almost all the Roadblock and Ninja Duel Snake Eyes figures in the past 12 hours so maybe they do know what they're doing assortment wise.
