Toys R Us Blasters
I had some Toys R Us rewards dollars to spend, so I thought why not get a blaster or two? I didn't realize that their blasters are more expensive than everyone elses! 2012 Bowman was $27.99 and 2012 Topps Chrome was $25.99. Even though I had $11 in rewards money, I didn't buy anything. Is everyone else's Toys R Us the same way??
Always trading for Barry Larkin. Also looking for Joe Burrow and Tee Higgins.
Will consider trading for other current/past Cincinnati Reds and Bengals.

yes, they are a rip off. They occasionally have buy one, get one 50% off. Even then it is about par from Walmart/Target.

Yes, they're more expensive here in Texas. Although one time there was a 2012 Topps Chrome blaster on a shelf with a $9.95 sticker on it. I took it to the register and it rang up $29.95 and I told them where it was. They went and looked and honored the price. Didn't pull crap out of it ... guess I learned my lesson about lying!
But yes, they are more expensive at Toys R Us. That's why I don't go there. I do look for McFarlane figures there and have found a few variations that I was able to turn for profit.

My toys r us is the same but one time I broke down in a moment of weakness and bought a 2012 Gypsy Blaster and hit a Rod Carew 1887 indian penny numbered to 10. So the money was okay then but if i hadn't gotten anything I would kicked myself for paying that. But we kick ourself all the time for buying boxes don't we. Haha

They are overpriced where I live, too. "Cheap" ones are like $23 there for me.
I collect Dirk Hayhurst.
