I noticed that a couple of months ago that their website now offers all kinds of action figures and collectables. In the U.S., their stores now carry action figures, POP Vinyls, collectables and more. It's all to compete for our money. EB Games figured that out too.

It says sold by a3u so I guess it's more like a 3rd party selling through bestbuy sorta like how Amazon does

BB has had a marketplace presence for a while now, but this is the first time I've seen it with toys; previously, it was mostly consumer electronics and gadgets. I guess it's a logical extension.

Best buy is actively trying to compete with amazon. We've listed a lot of product with them recently and are in the tools and building supplies industry...

So our stuff is listed on their website but they don't actually buy or hold any inventory. They get an order, then send it to us and we fulfill it and ship it.

It's still very odd... Is there any difference buying from here than directly buying from A3U?

I wouldn't think so. I noticed this trend a few months ago but I'm sure it has been around for longer than that. About 3 months ago I tried to find TLK Hot Rod for my son on walmart.com and when the search results came up it had an MP Hot Rod coin being sold by someone else through the site

That's weirdddddddd! Good for them for expanding like that. Though, my first instincts when I need something is still eBay and Amazon. I rarely consider Best Buy for anything nowadays.

Hold up! Can I use BestBuy gift cards on Transformers now?
