Saga basic figure price increase

[Banthaholic]

Today while browsing at KB I was in horror to seee that prices on basic figures were raised to 5.99.
Now I'm not a rocket scientist here, but the best way to get rid of per-warmers is not to raise the prices. Heck for 7.99 you can pick up 4 figures or get one of the same figure for 5.99

Guess that's one trip off of my Star Wars runs. They were always priced to begin with, but figures lately have been competitive. Suddenly K-mart 5.49 figures don't look to bad...

You have a K-Mart that has Star Wars figures? None around my neck of the woods has any. But then I avoid shopping there, I'd rather see some figures, then nothing at all.

Ok, so it's not an actual price increase. It's just KB going back up to their usual "more expensive then everyone else" prices. Because according to the Toy Fair press release, prices are staying the same. :)
