It wasn't until a couple of years ago, with the re-releases that the prices were dropped way down. But yeah, I learned how to calculate sales tax thanks to TMNT toys... 4.99 + tax = 5.40 .... 8.25% sales tax here. Action figures have gone way up in price since then. A lot of the Harry Potter figs go for around 9 bucks to 11.88. Ugh. -Mikey QM
