$10,000?! For an action figure? Are you kidding? Amazon, how can a price like this be justified?!

It's not Amazon. All the prices are from Third party retailers that Amazon allows to operate through their site. Unless the product says sold and fufilled by Amazon, then it's not officially them. Amazon has sold out of this figure. Pretty much every site and store has, that's why third party sellers have it so high. Scalping at it's finest.

That would have been good, but I got a Blu-ray DVD player for X-mas. I am getting pissed because amazon keeps lowering the price but does not price match for 30 days like any good retail store would. I may have to return and repurchase.

I had received a email from Amazon Tuesday 8/23/11 advertising this TV for $598.00 at a whooping $11.00 savings, so I put it in my cart to purchase later this week. I was shocked to see today that the price jumped up this high (738.95) in one day! I did check with Sam's Club and they have them with free shipping for the $598.00 price. What is up with Amazon?

I totally agree with you Ibrahim... I thought about doing the same exact thing, however, just TRY to order it at bestbuy.com and you will see that the total is a lot higher. Ugh, I don't want to pay extra for tax and shipping! This is ridiculous!

Amazon is not getting away with it, it's one of their partner sellers. Do you know and can you tell the difference? It's not difficult. How can people continue to not understand what they are looking at when you look at a product page and it says "Ships from and sold by C4DEALZ?" Is that Amazon? No, it's not, it's C4DEALZ. When you buy here you will notice that some will say "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com", others will say "Ships from and sold by *some 3rd party seller*" and others will say "Sold by *some 3rd party seller* and Fulfilled by Amazon." The case with this at the moment is that Amazon apparently has no stock and our thoughtful friends at C4DEALZ see the opportunity to jack up the price by $100 or so and make money off the uninformed, especially in this case because even at that price it's less than buying 3 separate upgrades. Get informed. First clue, outrageous prices gouging the customer (for which Amazon actually should remove the seller as a partner) and you won't see it being available for Free SuperSaver shipping since only Amazon sold or fulfilled items are. In my case I have a gift certificate I'd like to use toward the purchase so I'm rather irritated they don't have stock but I'm not stupid enough to pay C4DEALZ gouging prices, or anyone's for that matter. Now I see that "The Toy Giant" has joined the parade of gouging sellers. They should all go on lists of sellers that we will never ever purchase from. Jeff Bezos shouldn't be allowing it, it reflects directly on Amazon.

I'll add another in the chorus of frustration here. . .I even had the stupid thing in my shopping cart from a couple of days ago because I was doing research on some other components I wanted to order at the same time. I got a "nice" message when I logged in today of the (multiple) price increases. Come on, Amazon, that's like walking up to someone in the store and putting a new sticker on something in their cart!!! On the bright side, however, this TV is $2,999 at Best Buy. . .and I'd have to pay 10% tax to boot!

Yeah it was about ten bucks in dec 13. Then it jumped to more then double that. This is why you always need to double check prices on Amazon.

There are two Hapes, one at $98 and one at $117 but the more expensive one has an extra vehicle. It may be that the $130 toy is sold by a different company.

No action figures, they are the ones that are normally $11.99 on here but in stores they range from $9-10, right now they are only $8 till Saturday, the mousers and fishface seem to be hard to find but I found them both at walmart, they also have April and will pricematch target

Oh, whoops! I thought you said how much would it cost to buy it. Not 40$!!! Never mind that!!!

No. The reason why it's overpriced on Amazon is that it's a model that's supposed to be exclusive to another retail chain (I don't know if they allow us to name it here but let's say it's America's largest retail chain). You can get it there for twenty dollars. So what some third party opportunists do is they buy it from that other place, and sell it here at a marked up price for people who don't have a branch of that chain nearby (or people who don't know any better). It's a fine blaster; it's just that it's not worth more than $20.

Toys are commodity priced on Amazon (so are books, DVD's, and everything else). If you like the price, snap it up, because it may go up on you at any time.

I saw it, too. But this morning, the price was back to >300. And Amazon price trackers (like Ookong.com) don't register the lower price. But i swear that I saw it.

It's an action figure, not a model kit. It's a bit off of 1/144 and more detail than a hg for comparison.

Same here, man. It was $2544. It jumped to $2700 and then $2850. I want to get it soon, but I don't trust those other external sites with their weird return policies. Anyone else know a reputable dealer that sells it for Amazon's previous price?

Because sellers on Amazon are price-gouging you whenever it's not in stock directly from Amazon ;-)

Yeah, I'm also interested in doing this - but I too am really worried about the $250 charge. Amazon hasn't come out and flat out said that they would charge $250, but they seem to intimate that they will. But, if Monsieur Romer has done it.... (when did you buy it?)
