Target 2021 Retro Collection Multi-Color Boba Fett

$13 instead of $10 this time too.  Oof.

If I hadn't input a number incorrectly I might have gotten one. By the time I made the correction, he was gone from my cart.

Totally missed this. Never showed as instock/available to order for me. Not pleased. Hopefully when the release date comes around it will be available to order.

I wish I knew how many variants there are in total.  My guess is it'll be the same thing as Vader was, but last time I only bought one at retail and ended up buying a ton of them for $20 to $25 each and it was stupid.  This time, I'd rather just get as many as possible at cost and start trading but certainly don't want to hog more of them than needed to collect one of each.

[Pete_Fett]

If I recall, whatever extras/duplicates I had, I traded for what I needed and what I was missing, I bought for less than $20 each...

Unfortunately, considering that the cost of Vader on the aftermarket has risen to INSANE levels, that won't happen this time around, scalpers will be wanting current Vader levels for Fett right out of the gate.

[Rob]

That's my worry.  For Vader, I think I managed to buy about 6 or 8 of them at retail, and ended up buying about 10 or 12 on eBay.  They were usually about $17 or $18, but then there was shipping too... I vaguely remember thinking that if I got one for $23 total, it was generally a win.

have essentially tanked my work day refreshing the darn Target website - no such luck I'm afraid... 

[EdSolo]

This is exactly why people get sick of collecting.  Exclusives that sell out in seconds thanks to bots, and then never show up in stores for the bulk of us.  Compound that with Target not allowing the website to show if your local store has stock of the item when the release date hits.  For Vader, I never even saw a tag for the figure at the store and their Star Wars section was nearly empty of any product.  Hopefully I can find these for not too inflated prices on the secondary market because I doubt I will find them in stores.

[Rob]

Apparently there are only 6 variants - one per helmet color.

I’m suddenly not so worried about putting a set together.

I’m suddenly not so worried about putting a set together.

I'm still worried about getting one without having to pay crazy scalper prices...

[Rob]

I'm hoping that once they hit stores the scalper prices will drop down into something reasonable.  I have two orders with Target, assuming they don't cancel one, I just need four.  If I can get them for $25 each or somewhere in there, I'm alright with it.  It would still be less than half of what that Vader set cost to put together. 

Considering that a loose Vader is getting $50 on eBay now, what I really should do is sell 17 of them instead of buying 6 Fetts.

If you’re interested, barring any issues with my order, I will have an extra Fett that I am looking to trade for a Vader.

[Rob]

Appreciate the offer, but the collection is as complete as I can figure out how to make it, so I’m hanging onto the Vader’s.  I’m just kidding around about how if I was smart, I’d take the money and run.

No worries,  I can appreciate wanting to keep the set together.
