The pet pairs & portables were $5.99 when I went this morning. I was hoping to find the armadillo wave during the sale, but no luck. Oh well, I guess those prices are going up everywhere....

I haven't gone to any stores lately but was checking stuff online and Walmart.com has pet pairs/portables listed for $5.64 each. I guess definitely everyone's prices went up.
Only Hasbro.com is still holding up but who knows for how long...

Yes, Walmart has increased. Two weeks ago the pets were still $4.99. Today they were $5.64 and the extreme were $5.99. I didn't check the theme packs or playsets. The VIP's were still $13.88 and they had the green bird and grey cat.

You know prices are kind of weird like that I noticed. Because on Hasbro's website they list pets for 3.99, however in their cataloge they are priced at 4.99? So maybe the mark ups are not for profit but to make up for an increased expense somewhere? Gas high as it is, these companys like Target and Walmart still need to pay delivery charges which is probably outragous and be able make a profit. So it's like cause and effect! lol

They only pay for the movement of the product from their primary delivery point to their stores, and they use a variety of companies to deliver products, including their own trucks. The increase from Hasbro was about $.40 per piece from what I have read. |

I noticed all the stores have increased their prices yesterday....on almost everything.
One walmart had a price on the pets as $6.24 or somewhere around there and I didn't look to see for what it was. I am so glad I have pre-ordered most of the new pets ( I don't for the playpacks).
