Venom and CCC. Wasn't too bad in my opinion though.

I have paid over retail for SDCC exclusives Iron Man and Peter Parker, and Venom. $33, $35, and $39, respectively.

Yes. I buy most online and/or Ebay.
And even if you buy them online from Hasbro or TRU, the cost of (tax +) shipping impacts the cost of the Muggs by a few $. When figuring the cost of a basic Mugg, it becomes more like $12-16 than it does to $10. In stores now, TRU charges 10.99. With tax, it's almost $12.

TRU has always charged more than Walmart, who then charges more than, Target who happens to be on par with HTS. That is if you don't include gas (if you can find it on the eastern half of the country) to drive to the store. But to answer the original question, yes I have and more than once. Ebay, Ebay, Ebay sometimes I hate that site.

Just bought the preview exclusive, Plo Koon and Tarkin at a higher price. Since I'm really picky with my boxes, driving around hunting for the muggs just got too expensive with gas prices so it's just easier to pay a few dollars more for them. There's a local toy show that happens twice a week near me and I'm able to get my muggs there. Great thing is, most vendors there would let me go through all their boxes till I find the perfect box.

That sounds really great for you.. Of course in my case since I am a devoted "Opener", the whole box issue is a moot point.  Like many of you, I've also been buying almost exclusively online and can easily justify the shipping price versus added "hunting" trips to the stores etc... |

I got my Peter Parker for $25, well actually my friend got it for me for $25 as a Birthday gift. I got a few Marvel Muggs for normal retail price and 2 Star Wars Muggs when they were on sale. I got Darth Vader and Yoda for US$45bucks I think on Ebay for my birthday and I pre-ordered Marvel Mighty Muggs series4, the Previews Red Skull and Thanos as well as GI Joe Muggs. I'm trying this new online store because they have free shipping to Canada but they are really slow. They still don't have Marvel Muggs series4 and estimated arrival changed from October to November  |

i've only gone over retail a couple of times. exclusives and ones that i've paid more than retail b/c of shipping costs, not too bad tho. the ones i went over for were gree, leia, cody, ackbar and blackhole. so i don't think so bad seeing if you cut my city you would bleed wave 4 star wars lmao!
