I don't see how these little figures could cost even $20, but almost $50 for the one with the speaker? Why is this?

They are very hard to find and therefore sellers are charging a premium for the figures.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but yes, I'm afraid you did pay too much. Amazon has links to brand new ones for $149. I got a used one for $35 a while back. Honestly, I'm not even all that thrilled with the product. Since mine is used, it's possible it doesn't work quite right, but the fan barely blows air and the speakers don't make much difference in the sound or volume either. I was disappointed. Glad I only paid $35.

I noticed the same thing. It's a popular toy, but this price is double what it was in stores and online when it was available.

Yes, it makes sense that it would be the price for a case. I also only had 1 figure show up, and promptly returned it for a refund.

Nope, $20+ for a whole new set. It's compete nonsense because they can't even spell out that many words with the space given. Wait a while and someone will sell these things on e bay for next to nothing

I believe the issue is that Amazon sold out of them (this seems to be a very popular camera), and the third party sellers are charging a higher price due to the demand. It's not anything Amazon's done, $999 isn't their price.

That is the price for ONE speaker which is still a good price. I believe this is "Last years model" so they reduce the price to push this years $500 speaker or something like that. I have a pair of these and they sound GREAT! In hind sight I would have bought "last years" 10 inch but I didn't have the cash on hand at the time.

It's a Hot Toy brand 1/6 scale collectors figure import from japan. The figure is as close to movie accurate as you can get for it's scale. Also it's of a low release number to make it stay high priced. It would also be more expensive if it was diecast instead of just plastic. There is a diecast version of this figure coming out for about the same price as this so you may want to just save up for that figure.

No, not $20... I wish. I would buy 10 if they were that cheap. You are looking at about $150.

Because the item is sold by a private seller and they can set their own price. Toys actually sold by Amazon are pretty competitive - Private "toy stores" are buying up the Walmart exclusive sets that sell for $6.99 and listing them for $15-20 here.

The really ridiculous part is that the Finn & Jake set is available for $20 on here. Who are they trying to fool here?

There is some independent seller (for some reason?) selling for that price, but through ReSqueeze and Amazon they are $14.99 :)

The floaty thing is an adhesive with a low density squishy thing on the back. There's no reason it should cost $20. So I would guess that the quality difference between the $11 and the $20 is nothing at all.

I see this stuff all the time, makes me mad. I think the purpose is to make it look like you are getting a huge discount and a really great deal by showing the suggested retail price, which no one ever really pays in real life, against the selling price. It's a gimmick I am sure. Be smart people, when you see stuff like that, it may not always be as big a bargin as it appears to be. Having said that, I did purchase one for a gift so we shall see if it is even worth the $24.99.

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

It's basically an action figure for adults. It stands around 6 inches, does not make noise.It's a very nice figure, But right now this figure is extremely overpriced. THIS FIGURE IS NOT WORTH $300 !When it was first released it was around $60-$80 average. I would not pay $300 for this figure, again it is not worth it.

I paid less than $100.00 for this. The small one is for little dolls. This is the one for the 12 inch Barbie sized dolls. I think that these are being sold by individuals on Amazon and because it is so late they are ripping the customers off so that they can make a profit from their purchases. Parents are desperate to get them and will pay any price. The "small" castle was selling for about $50.00 I think.
