Why is this figure listed so much above retail price ($15.99) from Amazon? Amazon never raises prices like this?

This particular figure is part of a promotion. The figure is hand delivered by Anne Hathaway, dressed like Catwoman. Or it's just a glitch.

The price is not amazons. (you can see the store name above the add it to cart button).Amazon allows private sellers to list on there, whether it is a store or just someone selling it from home. Amazons fees for listing a product are so high, that's why i think they listed it for so much. I would check on ebay, they are selling for $49.99 on there right now.

The people reselling at 89$ do it all the time on here, I was looking at some toys for my niece and they were way more than the Amazon price. Buyers beware!

It appears there is an error with this Amazon listing. This listing is for only ONE figure, not for the case. Thank you - Toynk

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.

I have never seen the $20.00+ set. It's possible they are being sold by a specialty store, so the price is higher. That is why I prefer Amazon; I can often find the same item for a lower price.

i agree with Michael. It is for adults and very much go up in price. They are collectibles and not everyday action figures. If you go to other Hot Toys resell sites you will see how quickly the price goes up. I bought this as a Christmas gift and it has gone up $100 in selling price. It is highly detailed and if you go to YouTube, you can see reviews of various Hot Toys items that are out of box and shows all the detail of the item

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.

Yeah! I realized that they went up too. I thought it was just me. I know that Amazon practices in targeted consumer marketing, where they raise prices for things you normally buy while someone else would look at the same product and it would be half the price. So I don't know if Amazon raised it to $65 now because of my preferences or if its the same for everyone else. Pretty shady tactics if you ask me.

Whoops! I missed it. The price is back up to $1137.99. Which is still cheaper than buying it direct. But you would think prices would DROP nearer to Christmas, not go up. Bummer.

It appears to me that the seller (not Amazon) jacked up the price for those to over 8.00 each. Nice of them to take advantage of the season. If you can't find them on Amazon.com for 2.99each I would purchase from lego directly. Unfortunately you still have to pay shipping so that option is depending on how many you want to buy and if the seller on Amazon is doing free shipping. Not worth getting it from anyone else unless Amazon has it for 3.00 and with prime shipping. Hope this helps some. I purchased a lot of lego and you have to be careful of who you buy from on Amazon as they can grossly overcharge you.

Probably. I've seen it on sale at toys r'us as well. I am puzzled at why it is listed so high on amazon. It's a new toy and it is too early for shortages.

Um, there is. Amazon is listing it for $4.50, fifty cents cheaper than on the alternate sites you mentioned. If there was once an incorrect price, it's been fixed.

You're looking at offerings from "third party" sellers, so Amazon is not setting the price, they're just handling the shipping of the item. I don't see any listings where Amazon is the actual seller, only the shipper, so don't blame them for the pricing, that's determined by the third party seller.

The price has gone back up significantly. Just before xmas it was about $1899, and as soon as the shipping deadline passed for xmas it dropped to $1595 and stayed that way most of January. Now I see it selling for $1,999.99 When the price was $1595 the TV was being sold by Amazon, now it appears that the TV is being sold by Cruthfield which is why there is a drastic increase in price. If you really want this TV, I would wait until Amazon starts selling it again.

Holiday "supply and demand." Basically when Amazon is out of stock, the prices listed are from 3rd party sellers via Amazon Marketplace and NOT directly from Amazon (even if the order is fulfilled by Amazon). Personally, I think the retail of $39.99 is WAY overpriced for the Lego Friends Pool. However, I managed to snag the sale price of $27.99 a few days ago!!! Walmart.com (site to store is a fab option, and the website is STILL offering the in-store lower price!) and Target.com were both offering this set at that sale price (tho the retail price was actually showing in store) and Amazon offered that price when the item was back in their inventory (as Amazon has been doing with most hot toys). My advice is to save the item you want to your shopping cart and buy when it's at the price you're happy with. You can also bookmark the Amazon page and keep an eye on the price (keep checking throughout the day). Another option is just to get it AFTER the holidays, once all the shopping frenzy has passed!

He is. But this particular one is coming from Japan. I ordered him last week but I wont get him until at least March 3rd to the 23rd. I'm thinking that the price difference is the fact that it is gonna take so long for you to receive this action figure.
