Back in the day we used to be able to afford to not only get all the figures in a line but to army build for battles. Now, I cannot fathom how a regular person on a regular salary can even afford one of each of the figures in a line. We have entered a time when only those with very deep pockets can have all the toys and that is truly sad.
Omg I just paid a small fortune to ship Turtles in Disguise to me from California, I can’t believe it’s in my own backyard!! Thanks for this store tour, now I know this is the place!!
The LCS near me here in CA is steadily raising prices on everything. Min Wage here is now $15 and rents are going up fast. So the owners have to do it.
Thanks for reporting it as you see it Mega. I officially left the hobby when marvel legends were 32.99 at Walmart. These prices are almost as bad/ worse than toy show prices from 12 years ago. A good thing I have all the characters I wanted.
I've been picking them up from Walgreens and WalMart in northern California. Walgreens I got a Marvel Legends Cyclops on clearance for $6.99!! I picked up GI Joe Classified Series B.A.T. from walmart for $8.99!
I don't know if TRU is just raising prices early, but they're charging $6-8 more than gamestop, amazon etc. The only figures that will sell at that price are the figures that sell out and hit the resale market immediately. They're scalpers now instead of retailers
I lived in a cutthroat country where every Star Wars black series is now 50 bucks at normal retail..deluxe will retail from 70 bucks all the way up. ML now 42 bucks & deluxe/exclusives either double or triple. That Heroes World store is cool..no such luck here. No Gamestop..Target or the Wal stores either.😎
All the stores you visited have more figures then any store I've gone to in Florida not just that you have figures that the pre-order have been pushed back. 😥
Man do you have a warehouse for all your toys by now.?. I'm glad it's hard to find figures where I live. Or I'd be a freak like other toy collectors😀 on UA-cam. Just recently picked up Galvatron Brandon Lee The Crow.
We’re seeing prices steadily going up here in the US also. I’m slowing reentering the hobby and the price hikes are making it even slower. I have to be extremely selective of what figures I get because of these prices.
Man that is crazy. The price increases have pushed me to stop collecting Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers (well Transformers I have gotten sick of the constant Optimus and Bumblebee reissues and over use of repaints). I'm just going after Power Ranger, Ghostbusters figures now. And the original release of TMNT figures
@@michaelleary9233 I really don't care about rangers in civilian clothes at this point(in any line). We barely have 3 full teams of rangers (not including villain ranger teams). With so many more teams just waiting to be introduced in the lightning line.
Congratulations on those two B.A.T.S I just got my first two B.A.T.S yesterday and 1st Alley Viper from an online order. The days of hunting in stores are over for me as I don’t have the time to visit anymore.
I skipped out on toys this week. Bought a new coat 🧥, shoes , hair cut 💇♂️, full gas tank , extra money in the pocket. Shit I may not ever buy another toy from these greedy plastic makers …. $50.00 a toy now a days lol 😂 on top of the other fees… Plus at these prices it’s time to find another hobby like travelling. And it’s prolly cheaper 😂 and man game stop needs to clean there store. Dust and looks like black mold growing in there vents …
People's complaints about empty shelves! Hasbro HEARD YOU! Let's double the price, reduce the cost, no accessories. If accessories are needed another $10-$25.00! Now the shelves will slowly fill because scalpers are SCUMBAGS. It no wonder Hot Wheels and Matchbox die-cast has been EMPTY SINCE OCTOBER....LAST YEAR!
Man I have to work so hard just to get a few fingers if there's any?. And you guys just walking at any store grab whatever you want. I'm so jealous but at least. My house isn't overflow with toys LOL. It's kept me there storage unit time.
huh...bats for 37....24 bucks pre-order everywhere. I'll wait...like usual...like most people now a days I'm guessing. easier and cheaper online in many cases unfortunately. But man....do you have the toys where your at.
Sorry, had to leave the chat early. Wife is in the hospital. She's doing better, before you ask. Those B.A.T.s are impressive. Almost makes me want to collect Classified. Almost.
and this is why I stopped collecting. fuck that shit here I'm not paying this kind of places. I'm 52 years old and I'm in collecting since I was eight and for the first time ever I stopped.

I found original bats and the 25th anniversary bats. A little while ago at thrift stores.

Cali in the bay generally has nothing. Hunting is hard but with those prices in Ontario I’d retire and just go imports, sigh.
Marvel legends are 22.99 and all that eternals are on clearance. In Texas
Damn this store is stocked - NYC store shelves are empty
Awesome to go Toy Hunting which is something i enjoy

Damn $36.99 for Gi Joe crazy
Katherine ask the stores to sell Rey at higher prices..they will never learn. She will never overtake Luke in both legacy & legendary.
Great score on the BAT! I lucked out in a local Walmart last week and found 3 BATs and 2 Alley Vipers on a top shelf!
I don't understand the price hikes I just bought a brand new McFarlane figure that is 2 times as heavy as a Hasbro figure it was only $19.99.

Same here, and if Super 7 isn't gonna give us civilian Rangers, forget them too.
Exactly; few toy collectors have that much disposable income these days.

That's Superman you said that looks good remind me of Christopher Reeves.
Check your local Walmart they had a bunch of the bats and Ally vipers

I can see those pesky scalpers on them crimson twins,I'm glad they twins two xmaots noproblem🤣
jeez 36.99 is like resell over here!!!!

Toysrus in quebec have gi joe classified at 44.99$
Crazy prices....at least you have stuff in stock? 😅
WoW~! Alien...
I absolutely love Alien.
Alien's designer H.R. Giger is a genius.
Get your hands on any more of Boba Fett “Droids” edition?

Great toy hunt Mega Jay!! See you next time!
get your coupons ready
Sad seeing the prices for figures increase at Toys R Us. Hopefully, they decrease soon.
PulseCon exclusives are turning up in GAMESTOP!?! Nice to have more confirmation of Hasbro's contempt for us...
Marvel Legends have been that standard price here in the UK for a long time now. £23 = $40 CAD
Prices here are terrible for all figures though tbh 😂
cobra bat looks great!!! i might have to chase him down
Dude the prices are ridiculous where are you located?

Yikes...main line Transformers etc all going way too high..nearing Japanese import prices really. Is it only toysrus?
Cool where is this place at?
Like what you do you spend more time on Motu
Dang everything is like twice the price as u.s. stores. Is that just toys r us or is that everywhere?
1.5x. Canadough is worth roughly .75 freedom bucks.
RobRUS
Why are you so happy you are paying double for the BAT figure lol
Nice score!
As much as I love TRU I can't support those prices. At a small local shop I could understand those prices but a big box store like TRU? No way.
Ótimo
Love your videos Jay!!
Yup check out my Toy hunts!!! Got the g.i. Joe bat
What city is this
and this is why I stopped collecting. fuck that shit here I'm not paying this kind of places. I'm 52 years old and I'm in collecting since I was eight and for the first time ever I stopped.
Hey hey
Talk that sh#t Jay
I see mounds of He-Man crap and I wonder, "Why?" Who seriously thought He-Man would be popular again? What a waste of plastic.
Yikes
Nothing much here
Blame the democratic party
