Why is this product $60 here, when Toys R Us is selling it for $30?

Because the sellers know that when big box stores run low they can increase the price based on demand, which increases significantly the closer to Christmas. It's the day after, and they've lowered it to $46. A year ago I was looking for a particular N*rf product. which was sold out in stores. I gave my child an IOU for the item and found it just a week after the holidays on sale in the store.

That's a good catch. I never noticed it's listed at $154.99. Owning a couple I do know that the figurines are pretty cool.

I'm glad someone else noticed this too! It was $8.80 when I bought it in July 2013. Now it is $16.48. I'm going to buy it somewhere else.

Honestly..this is crap! I paid about $59 for it with free prime shipping! I bought mine at the end of 2013. It's worth $59 but someone is trying to gouge people. Seriously makes me angry! Toys R Us sells them ..a bit more than $59 but screw these greedy people and shame on Amazon for allowing this!

Holiday "supply and demand." Basically when Amazon is out of stock, the prices listed are from 3rd party sellers via Amazon Marketplace and NOT directly from Amazon (even if the order is fulfilled by Amazon). Personally, I think the retail of $39.99 is WAY overpriced for the Lego Friends Pool. However, I managed to snag the sale price of $27.99 a few days ago!!! Walmart.com (site to store is a fab option, and the website is STILL offering the in-store lower price!) and Target.com were both offering this set at that sale price (tho the retail price was actually showing in store) and Amazon offered that price when the item was back in their inventory (as Amazon has been doing with most hot toys). My advice is to save the item you want to your shopping cart and buy when it's at the price you're happy with. You can also bookmark the Amazon page and keep an eye on the price (keep checking throughout the day). Another option is just to get it AFTER the holidays, once all the shopping frenzy has passed!

Good question! the price is now 60$ not sure what is going on here. someone care to tell us why the price on this item keeps going up, I paid 25$ for it and that was too much.

This is an OLD question but VERY pertinent NOW (Fall 2013). This version has been discontinued and when I checked KMART'S web-site I almost choked... the item was $162+ and SOLD OUT! $96, at the time of the original question, was likely someone just listing it high and hoping someone would buy it when everyone ran out the last few hours you could purchase it AND still get it in time for a major holiday! This is now a highly collectible item for those into "Monopoly" games. It is no different than a Barbie Collector or any other collector!

I noticed the same thing! Came back to buy 2 for my 2 boys and was surprised at the price difference. Hoping it drops again in time for Christmas!

Yes, I am, as are a variety of other sellers on amazon. The price is determined by supply and demand, and the demand for this item has shown for the last month over and over again, that $40 is a good price that buyers are willing to pay for an item that they are no longer able to find either in stores or online at target. I'm sorry that you are not happy with the price. You certainly aren't being forced to buy this item.

Hello Dear Customer,The Turbo Slide has been selling for 549.99 for over a year now, this price includes shipping charges within USA. Not sure how long you saved our link for...? Sorry for any inconvenience.Thank you for your inquiry.

Thanks! Yesterday it was out of stock, and today I checked again and it was in stock so I ordered it. It's for my little cousin for Christmas.I was tempted to get the bundle (monopoly express) but that was like $5 more + $7 shipping so it probably ends up costing as much as the express anyway.This one was 97¢ shipping, total is like $33ish :)

The prices are always changing on videogames. depends on the demand it has at the time of searching.. Most prices are alright. Though 1$, you can never beat that. 30$ is proabbaly for a brand new one, though buying used is always an alternative.

LOL thanks so much to whomever posted this, I was about to waste another pile of money on another toy that's double the price here than other stores----THANK YOU and from now on I will check Walmart-Toys R Us, etc first. This place is crazy lately with these 3rd party sellers.

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 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.
