Today, another WM, and another that has black 4" figs but not even a slot,shelf, or peg for the 6" line.
Anybody still collecting SW on here?
- Thread starter garrison99
- Start date
They are definitely not carrying them, but some have Joe slots which is more than we can say about Target.
Considering they don't make them anymore what's a reasonable price to pay for one? I'm not doing the Kiowa thing again (LOL).
Again, I just find a number I can live with. Sometimes I over pay and sometimes I don't. If memory serves I got mine from BBTS for $20 something bucks. My normal rule of thumb for a 3-3/4" fig is no more than $20 a figure. They run $11 w/tax + GAS, and hoping you find something. Hell I just paid $83 for the SDCC 2011 CC w/megatron gun and shockwave backpack with 3 cassettes.
They were never marked as $4. You had to scan them to see the price. It was just some internal error. So along with the one figure that scanned $4 the cashier would "correct" a figure that scanned $9. I got a few figures for $4.
The Amazon/Slave 1 Scandal continues!!!

At this point, I am grateful to have one that is MIMSB. Will be mailing the "drop-kicked" edition back this week hopefully (if I can get away from work).
What a mess.
EDIT:
How about some good news?
6" Sandtrooper is now in stock at Amazon for 20 dollars out the door:

Never mind I'm an idiot the 109 price is a scalper and the Amazon one is taken off due to what you guys call a scandal. Nonetheless, happy I got mine ordered!

Went by the local Walmart. No more Gijoe, at all. But there was some of the 1 18 Black figures. Might have to pull the trigger on a couple Scout Troops, always been a big fan of them
I have the defense set which was overpriced for a hollow shell and a silver rubbery piece of crap death ray.
That's about what I paid for them at Target circa 2010, when I factor in tax. So yeah, that's a tolerable deal.
The Amazon Slave 1 seems to be playing price swap as the price has went from 69.99 to 59.99 to 79.99 and now back to 69.99 all within this week. Anybody want to predict next weeks forecast?

Anyone happen to know how old this Luke is? I need some puttee-clad legs and these might be easier to source than fucking Storm Shadow's.

The one shown I think is from the Resurgence of the force battlepack, but exact figure with a different head and belt with soft goods was in TVC line, death star escape Luke I think is what he was called. Might be at a 5 below. I have seen most in your photo there.

no I mean the DeathStar escape Luke, he is a single pack. If its the legs you want, they are the exact same as the one pictured above. If I see that Luke, I'll grab him. I was just there earlier and saw that DeathStar Trooper and Stormtrooper at the front of the pegs. I didn't go through them cause last time I was there they were at the front. I dont remember if Luke was there or not. I was on a hunt for the Hogan and a longshot at Fandrel. Found Hogan.
right one is the one I am talking about, single card.
edit - damn Rebelscum blocking the picture. grrr.

Wow, that's impressive, given that TRU "clearance" normally means that they reduce it to the level of other retailers' regular price.
That's just insane. Wish we had those kind of deals here in Holland. Best I did, was buying an AT-TE for about $45-50 and the big AT-AT for $90. Never saw them before, only when they were on clearance. The problem with the European market, is apparently Hasbro Europe simply replaces the $ with the €.....
Yeah but your € price tags include taxes (at least in Germany). So that would make it a better deal than here. Our taxes are added on at the register.
I grabbed one of those for $20 last year on Amazon... but $5, I would have bought all they had...
Yeah, I'm not into SW all that much presently, but at $5, I would have bought the hell out of that just for trade and custom fodder.
