Are you serious? What a rip off. Five sticks for $20. Wait until Toys R Us gets in stock at their listed price of $3.99.

The number for Mattel is actually 1-800-524-8697 (not 8679). You can order 10 assorted wax sticks for $5 plus $4.95 shipping!! They are backordered until April 15, 2014 but you can place an order now. I just ordered some for myself (I mean my son).

You can also order through Mattel online for $5 for 10 sticks. https://store.mattel.com/ItemDetail.aspx?cat=139&item;=64619

Yes this is price gouging... personally I think Amazon should not allow items to be listed above a certain percentage of msrp. Not even sure if this will work with a modern OS (apart from Linux).

thanks for asking that. I assumed you got a set. Why in the world would $17 for one be a good price? RIPOFF!!!!

YEAH, Amazon take note of this and make corrections! I wish I'd seen this note before I ordered. Now what? 20 bucks down the drain.

this particular listing is for a RANDOM toy thus the lower price. if you need a specific toy just search on Amazon for Annoying Orange

That's not Amazon's price. It's from another "store" that sells on their site. If I remember correctly, Amazon's price was fair, but they must be sold out.

amazon makes more money from the seller fees for overpriced elmos, then they would selling the item themselves.so it is smart for them to wait and build up there inventory while everyone else depletes theirs.I also canceled my preorder, and got one from target. my 13 month old kid broke it in under 2 minutes. gladly target let me exchange it for the last one at the store.

I've been sitting here much of the day watching toy prices go up and down on this site. It's pretty ridiculous. I had items in my cart disappear, reappear, and increase in price all within four hours. I have a love/hate relationship with Amazon for this reason. During Christmas, you pretty much have to order immediately to ensure the deal. I've seen items go up by $20-$50 within 30 minutes.

I just went to Walmart and bought a big container of those small gumballs in the candy section. It was much cheaper than Toys R Us or a bulk candy store. It took 1 and a half.....I think.

if you can get these basics for around $18 then jump on it, because right now they're just above $25. I have them in my cart hoping they'll go back down to $18, or the $17 I got them for last time I bought them.. not sure why they're sitting at $25 right now but that doesn't make them much of a deal anymore...

Nope, $20+ for a whole new set. It's compete nonsense because they can't even spell out that many words with the space given. Wait a while and someone will sell these things on e bay for next to nothing

If it's only 1 pack then its a rip off coz I was able to buy One at a toy store for $2.99. This is not a good deal! Is it really only one bag?

Thanks G. Mercado, I did notice that it wasn't actually Amazon itself selling at the higher price. I was just referring to the extra $200.00 profit that Toyzz was trying to make. I seriously thought it was a misprint as I would hope people are not that desperate for TC. I know I am not!

Even as a resale, that's a ridiculous price. You can order them online at Hot topic too. These sellers are awful I'm putting them on my blacklist.

They were for sale at Target for $1 each puzzle. Same size and quality you would get at the dollar store. Please do not succumb to high demand low supply inflation on this item!!!!

WTF Amazon. There was no deal or on sale. You just post something you have in stock and a price you are not willing to sell. Stop all these BS. We are not naive buyers. Save your stupid tricks and pay some respect to your customers.

I see this stuff all the time, makes me mad. I think the purpose is to make it look like you are getting a huge discount and a really great deal by showing the suggested retail price, which no one ever really pays in real life, against the selling price. It's a gimmick I am sure. Be smart people, when you see stuff like that, it may not always be as big a bargin as it appears to be. Having said that, I did purchase one for a gift so we shall see if it is even worth the $24.99.
