I'd kinda like more droids, but the price is going to have to be lower than $60. Ideally its closer to $40 for me to bite.

If that's the case go ahead and ignore the link until about six months from now when they are trying to clear out the left-overs that didn't sell at $59.99. :P

Post by: Dave on August 15, 2018, 01:51 PM: Yeah, that's what I figured. I guess the good thing is that these do tend to eventually come down in price if you're patient.

I'm not sure the math on the latest multi-packs (6" and 3.75") but it seems we've lost almost all semblance of a discount. It seems to me that in the past, and in most other areas, you get a discount when you buy multiples.

I'm not an expert, but these look like straight up repaints of existing molds. This should have been super cheap to make. I just feel like Hasbro/Amazon is gouging us badly on these at $60.

Post by: McMetal on September 7, 2018, 08:14 AM: Why are they only ever in stock for five minutes before selling out? Is the factory sending them one at a time?

Been such a pain in the ass trying to catch this thing at the right time, I don't even really want it anymore. Amazon sucks.

Post by: Nicklab on September 7, 2018, 03:00 PM: I missed out the first couple of times they were in stock. But I'm glad that I was able to get in an order a few days ago. It just took a little persistence.

Post by: McMetal on November 21, 2018, 03:19 PM: Well, hopefully my waiting game pays off and they slash the price on this thing come Black Friday. Or Cyber Monday even.

Post by: McMetal on November 26, 2018, 09:16 AM: $41.99 with Free Shipping right now...Deal of the Day! ;D

Oh yes, you will be mine.

Post by: Darth_Anton on December 18, 2018, 04:26 PM: Picked one up at the $41.99, but it was still a nice deal.
