Hi, these are 2.99 in retail stores. Why are these so much on Amazon? Just saying..

I don't know why, but the going rate for Legos on Amazon tends to jump more than other brands in December.

Same thing here. They were even cheaper than $120 not so long ago. I end up buying them from another on-line retailer for ~$114.00 No point in paying the current price when we know what these things really cost.

The price has gone up dramatically for some reason. I purchased these in June of 2013 from the same seller (Green Stuff Only) here on Amazon for $16.49 with Amazon Prime. Now the same seller is selling them for $29.99. I have no idea what could have driven the price up almost double over last year. I was hoping to buy more but am looking for alternatives at the moment.

Yeah, what's with the price hike? These were like $6 or $7 a week ago. Amazon's pricing sucks.

The Target price is $54.99 but they unfortunately are out of stock. You can even find them on eBay cheaper than here.

Hopefully this is a mistake by Amazon. It happens from time to time. Other retailers have it as low as $279.

Besides the Prime issue, I've had these speakers on my Wish List for six months (since Dec 08). When I first added them, they were $89. When I looked a short time later, they were $95. And then out of the blue, they jumped to over $130.It then seemed they hung-out at $119 for quite a while (maybe a few weeks). Last week they were in the low $90s again, and today, $107.37 (and yes, plus about $25 for shipping). **Hey Amazon:** would you care to fool us all and set the price at $49 for a few days - I promise I won't gripe about the shipping then.

Yes, Laurie, they were 16.95! I went to reorder and now 59.95. I thought it a mistake and used the question section, hoping for a correction. Can you believe somebody voted negative for the comment?? Perhaps not a mistake, as I see your comment dated on June 13, 2014 and today is July 28, 2014. Such a bummer.

Don't know why the price is this much on here. However I know during winter it is rare to find. So maybe that's why. Also maybe people try to make $ off of people who dont know better? Also of today I have seen them in the store. They are even cheaper than before. $10.95 for the venti !!

Andy, like you, I wondered why the price difference was this great. I think it is best explained as a marketing ploy. Some less astute folks may only visit Amazon, and might buy without further research or shopping. I'm waiting right now to see if Grizzly prices come down for their "one day" Christmas sales.

I was just wondering the exact same thing. I found this same 2.2 lb product on another site for $16.95. I wanted to order it from Amazon due to my Prime account and free shipping, but even with shipping costs from the other place it ends up being MUCH less costly. Are we sure this is priced right? Doesn't seem to be. Sorry, if this isn't an answer but just another question...

They are in stock now, take yours before they will be sold out. Do not buy to scalpers that are asking more than the double. Amazon should block those scalpers.

not sure where you saw the ad, but I assume it was on a black friday website. When I called them, Amazon said they have not advertised that price and are not guaranteeing any pricing. They said just keep checking and they'll do their best to be competitive.

These sell for 4.99 each at the stores. Not a deal to buy online esp considering shipping cost!

Looks absolutely the same to me. Probably just the store price vs amazon. Its too pricey

I am wondering this as well, as Amazon is said to be the supplier on my pre-order, but now they are nowhere to be found for someone pre-ordering. Mine is at 69.99 as well.
