    Whats your average price

    Just wondering what everybody is paying at your local shops.
    Are you buying singles or two packs.
    I'll start;the first wave were $15.00(kirk,kling,spock,romy,mccoy,keeper,scotty)
    Now I'm paying $22 plus tax at my local shop.(sulu,gorn,cheron,chekov)
    Maybe I'm better off just getting them from the doc himself...LOL

    I've only seen and purchased the single figures, I have only been buying the Aliens and Chekov and Sulu. I paid $18 or $20 for most of them, Gorn & Chekov ran me $22 at a comic shop.

          Ditto. There's no comic shops or other Diamond retailers (the small FYE in my mall doesn't carry many toys ) in my area, so I've never seen any EMCEs on the peg.

            yeah, I get all mine from the Doc. I have never seen any at retail. I did get some on FAO Schwartz's web site before Christmas for $10 each for my son to play with.
            I am still waiting for the good Doc to send my Sulu and Gorn, they look cool.

                  You lucky guy.


                  Really so many people haven't seen them in retail???
                  I should take a pic the next time I go just so you can see them in person.

                    we are one of, if not the largest seller/orderer of the EMCE via diamond...our wholesale on multi case orders has been as low as $75 a case of 8 on past released ($9.38 each) if you bought in quantity...diamond of course increased cost to about $80 a case wholesale with later releases...strangely enough, folks like Hulk and MegoStore, DrMego, etc, could actually have bought them cheaper from us, than ordering from diamond, if we had of planned it out better (you get a better cost FOB from HK, than buying domestically, where you have all of diamonds costs put into COG)...
                    our single case wholesale has always initially been 99 a case or 12.38 each (as toyman mentioned)

                    and, while we only sell in sets, we have done as cheaply as $23-24 a set for openers (again, 11.50 to 12.00 each)

                    so, even when you factor in shipping costs, the savings over retail (no sales tax, etc) often makes internet purchasing far cheaper than Brick and mortar retail

                      I always order these in bulk, but usually cant wait the weeks it takes to get here and buy some when they hit the local comic and hobby stores. Prices there started at $18.00 a piece for the first three waves, then went up to $22.00, and are now up to $29.00 a shot since the Kirk rerelease, and Sulu and Gorn figures arrival. Keep in mind thats Canadian dollars!!!

                            When I got my Spock & Andorian at the mall, they were $18.99 each. Well worth the price paid. I haven't seen any of the later waves there yet. They still have 2 Spocks & 2 Andorians. My wife bought Kirk for me there when they first came out and paid 17.99. Since Spock & Andorian, I just buy them from Doc Mego.

                              I'm in Canada!!!

                              I am currently paying $22 but have not seen the new kirk release at $29
                              My gorn,sulu and chekov were all $22.
                              I still have a couple kirks from the first wave not sure if I'll be getting anymore of him.
