Walmart prices scoring! I went to wally world and the pet pairs/ portables are 5.64 each! Everything else stayed the same. I guess Hasbro will be the only store that sells cheap.  We are all gonna go into debt with gas, rising prices, and taxes. I am scared of Obama and McCain's taxes. If anyone knows of a place to get pairs/portables for only 5.00, let us know! |

Yeah, we have had the discussions about all the stores raising prices. Your best bet at this point is simply to pre-order and pay the shipping (which you would chew up in gas anyway) or wait and hope to score them on Hasbrotoyshop.com. And I would be really surprised if they didn't raise prices too.

Hasbro itself had made a statement that they would be increasing pricing for their products due to gas prices and the economy. This is just the retailers doing the trickle down cost effect.

Everywhere. Reuters, markethingych, etc etc.
The increase in oil eventually will lead to an increase in everything - transportation costs for goods and raw material has risen, the cost of plastic has risen (being an oil product) kinda saw it coming.
Hasbro said the price increase to their wholesalers would start Sept 1, so I hoped it would be after Xmas that we saw prices rise, but I guess not.
Edit # 2 - why does it keep changing the name of market w_a_t_c_h to markethingch??

Oh This Really Stinks! My family and I had been buying pets (though not steadily) we don't have a full collection by any means since 2002. I was just starting my own collection of some of the rarer or unusual pets, but if prices keep rising, my collection may cease to grow at a happy level. I am not that devoted to filling Hasbro's pockets and emptying mine.  Oil and gas prices have fallen slightly, but I know that will not affect the recent price increases. Sigh!  |

At our wally world they got a huge shipment. I couldn't buy anything until I saw a tag that Everything is on sale! Being full of cash (a.k.a. daddy with his debit card), I bought a lot that has almost completed my cous. Christmas and B-day! Yay! They had every single $5 one plus they sell SINGLES for 1.99- those were not on sale. Happy Happ Happy is me!

Happy Happ Happy is me! so all the petpairs were on sale for $5.00? if there was a sale, wouldnt the other walmarts have the same sale? Not necessarily. Sales can vary by location, same as prices. Depends on whether it's a national sale or a local or regional sale. Plus they may have been on clearance rather than an actual sale. Clearance prices may vary by location as well. By the way, everyone knows Wal Mart's little trick with their clearance section, I hope. They'll seed non-clearance items in with clearance items. They'll even have the red price tags sometimes, but they'll still be the regular price. But it's pretty easy to catch. Basically if the red tag price isn't in 25 cent increments, (eg 1.50, 12.75, 10.00) then you can be pretty sure it's not on clearance. Unless of course the clearance price is less than a quarter, then it will be in 5 cent increments. So if the price ends in anything but a 5 or 0, it isn't on clearance. I haven't noticed any other store do this, but I shop at Wal Mart most often, so I don't see as many clearance sales at the other stores. |

Yalls probally isn't set up like ours but, I'll tell you where I found them. I walk through the Garden center and BAM! Right at the end of each row were boxes of LPS. They were at the ends of where pool chemicals were. I didn't find the sale stuff at the regular LPS spot. The LPS section stuff was NOT on clearance. How dumb! Anyway, that was last week so it might not be at ours. I think why we had that was cause of the Perry fair and we live (mid. Georgia) 5 min. from Perry. Actually it's the Georgia fair so people who were buying chairs and stuff for concerts there would see it. I think some people's management decisions are darn right idiodic! (I can't spell today. Go to Friend's Discussion, "Do You Think This is Fair" to find out.)
