Was that set really $10?

It looks like they may have raised the price and then marked it down to MSRP. Though I may be wrong?

Yikes I think you are right. I believe it was the carriage rescue that was 9.99.

I hope we got it figured out before anyone here got hosed.

But, I guess its a good lesson: always do your research.

Great story on the same subject, at my local Wal Mart the only Kingdoms they carried was the Prison Carriage (MSRP: $10) which they were selling for $11.

They've had about 20 for months, and have moved them from one clearance shelf to another with red SALE/CLEARANCE stickers on them the whole time, deceptively indicating that they were on sale when they are in fact above MSRP which is not normal for Wal Mart. Very disappointing and deceptive.
P.S. If you need help making MOCs, making posts, or don't know what to do next, please, let me know! I'm here to help! ;)

Just an FYI, Amazon's prices are always in constant fluctuation. Basically you should expect Amazon.com's prices to change every day, just like fuel at a gas station.
