why is it so expensive on Amazon and only $9.00 from a P.C. party?

Some don't want a party, or live to far out and the ease of it being sent right to you.

I do not know why. I buy it now in supermarket and it cost less then on amazon.

That's due to the fact that its only available from third party sellers. Amazon sells it for around 9.99. That fact that it is out of stock now on Amazon, means that sellers that have it can capitalize by increasing the prices. The fact that we are in the festive season doesn't help either. I would wait or get another character that is sold by Amazon.

Because the actually cost of the product is less than $900 & $24 -- Just a marketing trick

I ran into the same problem myself. I had it in my cart yesterday and was waiting to hear back from my brother for his input before buying this for my niece. I assumed I had plenty of timer with the Prime and even pay $3.99 for Next Day but it automatically filled in the Amazon Prime standard 2 day shipping. HOLD ON!! I just tried adding it to my cart again just now and the problem's fixed!!! You can even get it by tomorrow, Saturday for $4.99. Unfortunately I couldn't wait any longer and already bought a different gift for her. Hopefully there's still time for you. I should just refuse delivery on the other gifts I bought instead and order this one now.

Usually when this happens on Amazon, it's because the usual sellers have sold out. Sellers then raise prices, sometime incidentally because prices are managed by computers algorithms. I don't believe this is an expected price for this.

I agree wholeheartedly. I don't understand the price difference. I went out and bought it at my local Walmart for $3.87. If Amazon came anywhere close to that I would order it from them, but I can't justify the price right now.

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.

It depends on where you're shopping. These cost more at a local grocer near me (the only store that carries them around me) so it may be a deal for some. But seriously, I see so many questions of "why are they so expensive compared to where I get it?" on amazon, it's simple- its for those that have NO access. For those of you who do AND pay less, it's futile even asking questions like that.

The seller may have raised the price since the email was sent. The price on the listing is the price Amazon is selling it for, there are 6 other sellers and the least expensive one has it for $43.90.

Good day. There are several sellers on Amazon offering this product at various prices. We're selling for $10.99 plus shipping&gt; You may need to look below the "Buy Box" to the right of the listing to find the particular seller who is offering it for $8 and choose that seller.

I don't know what Amazon is doing but all the toys I had in my shopping cart priced $15-$20 are now over $100 overnight. What are they doing? Trying to lose customers I think! I'm done with Amazon.

Because Amazon allows several different vendors to sell products through their marketplace. The search result reflects the lowest price among those vendors, and that won't always be Amazon. If that's the case, you'll see that low price over on the right hand side of the page. I am usually inclined to spend a few bucks more and get something from Amazon though.

Price at retail stores or their websites is $99. It IS available at numerous stores

I didn't buy it at Amazon because I thought the price was too high. But maybe Amazon is putting more than one package of it together, which would make the price much more reasonable. The 6-oz package I bought at Bed, Bath and Beyond was definitely not that heavy.

I don't know why this amazon one is listed for $88...I bought mine for ~$30 at Sears. online, you can find this version for about $30. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11064802 maybe I should go back to Sears and buy another one if they are replacing this one with the "deluxe"...I was contemplating getting one from my friend.

It should only be 9.94 shipping. Please contact Amazon directly regarding this issue.
