WHY is this item priced SO high on Amazon?? Walmart, Kmart, Target and Toys R Us all sell this item for $24.99!!! Amazon's price is a HUGE RIP OFF!!

Because the item is sold by a private seller and they can set their own price. Toys actually sold by Amazon are pretty competitive - Private "toy stores" are buying up the Walmart exclusive sets that sell for $6.99 and listing them for $15-20 here.

OMG! I've just checked it on Amazon and you're right! That's outrageous. I have it in my Saved For Later file and I see that it says the item is no longer available from the selected seller. The price has changed. I won't be ordering it at that price! If you find out what the reason is, I'd love to know. Good luck finding a replacement.

It seems like Amazon.com is out of stock on it, and the higher prices you're seeing are from 3rd party sellers. A bit of supply and demand, with a very low supply they are charging more for it. I checked another site (wayfair.com), which said they were going to get more stock around May 1st, perhaps Amazon will too.

Same thing with me. I put it in my cart earlier today at $399 from Amazon.com. Now my cart is saying that Amazon doesn't carry this, and if i still want it, it will be fulfilled by another vendor for $429. It feels like some shady maneuvering going on here.

My price is $64.49 Target has this item for $49.99 The nice thing about a marketplace like Amazon, is that as a consumer you can choose to purchase from wherever you desire. Happy shopping.

I noticed the same thing. It's a popular toy, but this price is double what it was in stores and online when it was available.

Yep...supply & demand. I almost bought it for $199 last week...guess I should have. It's not just Amazon, all the other venders are either out of stock, or have jacked the price way up. That's OK...I'll just wait for the Christmas shopping craze to pass...then I should be able to pick one up at a fair price.

This price is way out! I do not understand. On July 2014 I purchased 4/28oz red banded bowls for $4.95 each, total 18.90 ! I would call Amazon as I believe this must be an error. Yes, I'd buy them at Walmart. Do know that these bowls also were an "add on" item, that would probably not be shipped free unless one purchases other Correlle items with it. I also bought the red-design/band dinner set with this. But as mentioned, you will find all at Walmart. We love the bowls, it is such a good size. Hope this helps.

Initially this was a purchase I made at Target once they had it in their weekly sales. I usually waited for it to hit the $9.99 mark. This review was made almost one year ago and as many of you who are aware of the rise in prices and the lessening of products, this item is hardly ever available at Target anymore. Infact I no longer see the 48 mega I only see the 36 mega and I now get that at my local grocery store on sale for $7.99. I hope this helps & to avoid the drama, the original review will be removed soon. As will this once the feature is available.

I have purchased 4 or 5 of these for my son with special needs. It is his favorite toy. The first ones I bought through Amazon and paid about $20 each for them. Recently I purchased the same toy from my local walmart for $19.97. I don't know why there would be differnt prices. Looks the same to me.

Hi Kim,I agree! This doll is posted everywhere else for $39.99- $49.99. Hasbro says it should be available by Dec 12th.

I have no idea why it's priced so high. I bought mine at Walmart at a much lower price. This is actually now an older version, too.

The last time they restocked this I payed about $35 (free shipping from Amazon). This doll is not a limited or special edition and from what I can tell, the manufacturer hasn't stopped producing this item. So the price hike on this particular doll is ridiculous!

It's up to $199.00 now.. I can't believe this of Amazon, I've always trusted them - this place is getting as bad as Ebay!!

Same here... Amazon has been out of stock for weeks so the other, third-party vendors prices are crazy. I found it at Walmart for $5.95 for a box of four. So that $1.48ea vs. $1.41ea @ $17/box.

It's from a reseller. Someone bought them and now that they are backordered at Amazon, they are raising prices.I bought 2 at Hot Topic today for $19.99 so they are available there!Borders will also have them for $24.99 but not sure when exactly.

I agree! I just saw this exact product (3 ounce can) only this morning at my local grocery store for about $7. I thought I'd check Amazon first and here it is for $115.45 for only 2 cans? I agree with another poster that they had to have made a BIG mistake with the decimal point! No way should anyone buy it at this price. If they're not making this product any longer, Amazon has a few other brands for sale. Or check your local grocery stores, too.
