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.

Yeah. I just needed a cap to at least think about.

you guys must live in never-never land. There has never been a sub-$9.99 vintage collection figure at a store in this area. Maybe when TRU had a national buy one get one half off, but they only had half a peg of prequel figures, so that doesn't really count.

Hell, even when my WM "clearances" this stuff, they only knock off 10%. New waves of good figures for $4-$6... urban legend!

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. :thumbsup:

The Amazon/Slave 1 Scandal continues!!!

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Str...e=UTF8&qid=1376758685&sr=8-1&keywords=slave+1

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:

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Ser...F8&qid=1377144555&sr=8-1&keywords=sandtrooper


WTF the price just skyrocketed to 109 bucks! Is that normal?

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

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?

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.

Curiously I haven't seen Fandel, but the other two were present, as was Destroyer, King Loki and a King Laufey.

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.

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.

In an extremely WISE move, it appears that Hasbro may have reconsidered wave arrangements. What looks like a return to their roots, they might have approached a new way of creating case ratios that in our opinion looks like a home run hit for both collectors who want to buy whole cases, as well as retail so that they won’t sit on incessantly repackaged figures. Here is what our Research Droids have garnered from their investigation. As ALWAYS, take this with a grain of salt until you hear it from Hasbro themselves, which should hopefully be soon at NY International Toy Fair.
