    They gotta make a profit as well
    Not even a big profit, if you know they probably paid close to $25 themselves

        I'm sad because my comic store decided not to get them. I'll have to try Big B in Hamilton but I'll bet they'll be $30 or better.

          I passed on them at a comic store for the same reason, 10 bucks cheaper at TRU.

            yah, the mark up is a killer. when i owned my comic store i think my cost on marvel legends was something like $7...which was the price that walmart was selling them at.

              Well, I was going to pull the trigger on buying the Retro figures if the Green Arrow I'd seen in the store the past few weeks was there (it was $29.99). I had just gotten a gift card for $50, so I could easily pick it up.

              Wasn't expecting the rest of the line there. Two sets. In PRISTINE condition. All standing straight as you please. Emblems had nary a crack. A few bucks more than TRU, granted, but these were NICE (I saw the whole set at the TRU in Freehold, and the Superman there looked like he had been through the ringer - cracked symbol, weird beer-gut pose, etc. GL wasn't much better, Luthor had a dark spot on his nose, etc.).

              Trigger pulled. Bought a complete set, plus the GA that's been tempting me for the past month. Now just have to find a place to display 'em, and begin the countdown to Wave 2.

              Doc, you done good.

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                At my comic shop (Stand-Up Comics Lansing IL 60438) I sell them for 25.99 (+tax) each and to be honest that is what they should be for a comic shop because Previews gave it a SRP so unless they went and bought them from TRU they should be selling for that price.

                    Asked my Comic guy ( Queen City Coimics Cincinnati Ohio REPRESENT!) he said no because he couldnt compete with TRU.
