Over boxing week last year I picked up a ton of Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black Series items for less than 50% with sales. I got Netflix Daredevil & Punisher for less than $10 each. 6" Luke with Landspeeder for $30. Etc.
Yes sometimes their pricing is insane. However I find most items sold through Amazon, and not some third party seller, are close to retail price. Better in some cases (mostly household items).
And then if you are lucky, to catch Amazon at the right time, you can score big discounts.
If anything Walmart needs to get off their asses and start getting back to actually doing proper sales and clearances on toys. They really have fallen off compared to Amazon and TRU.

Amazon is all about flash sales. My advice is to keep things you want in your cart. Then check from time to time. That is how I got trpyicon and fort max for great prices among other things. :/

Re: Is Amazon.ca on Crack?
I mean, if it's actually sold by Amazon, it's usually retail.
Problem is they so rarely seem to have TFs in stock FROM Amazon.
It's all the third party sellers with silly to insane pricing.

I'm glad I picked up all the wave 2 stuff I care about weeks ago while I was in Cali. To hell with that crazy mark up.

But that is the crazy part, the listings I keep showing are actually from Amazon, and not third party vendors. I have no clue why Amazon would charge $20 for a legion class figure.

About a month ago I bit the bullet and paid about $30 for Rescue Bots Blurr from Amazon for my son's up coming birthday, as it's the only one he doesn't have, and I haven't seen it in stores in at least 3 years.
Of course, wouldn't you know it, I go into my local Walmart a couple weeks ago and find the damn thing for $9.92!!
