The Bay, a big dept. store chain in Canada, has always had its figures at $8.99. They STILL have green HOLOGRAM carded figures. They finally dropped their prices to $4.99 (still rather high for really old stock, IMO) just a few weeks ago. I couldn't believe it, because they have about 15+ Bossks at my local store, and I figured I'd missed my chance to buy one. I read that in other countries, stores can order cases of just one figure from Hasbro. That's right, NO PACKING RATIOS! If they want 100 more Darth Mauls, they get them without any lame figures to clog up space. I guess stores in other countries don't stand for stupid packing ratios the way they do in North America.
