I too found series 7 & 8 marked down to 8.41, then 70% off at a local EB. I find it strange because when I was last at that same EB, they had no 7 and only a few 8, and now they had what seemed like a dozen Scooter, some of Dr. Phil, and one Marvin (Gray colors). They also had like 3 Bueregard (sp?). But meanwhile the Suncoast at the other end of the mall was still trying to sell Cliffords at 50%. It's strange. Despite what both chains tell you, the prices aren't totally set by corporate. Or if they are, corporate doesn't set them consistent across the market. Some places swear that they aren't on sale, no one has them on sale, and they don't know why they would go on sale. (Mind you this comes after hitting 6 stores trying to find the one last repaint I need to complete the series and finding all the other figures on sale) As much as I like seeing them on sale, it hurts me.
