It's been two weeks and I haven't seen a carded figure anywhere since Force Friday.

Looks like there's some value to shopping for some select items at Amazon:

I've seen the same X-Wing selling at the regular big box stores for $49.99!

I stopped in at my local Walmart this morning to find that the TFA 3.75" basic figures are now priced at $6.94 each.  It makes it easier to stomach buying 5 POA figures at that lower price point.

Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: Nicklab on December 4, 2015, 10:46 AM
I saw something a little disheartening at a TRU store this morning.  TFA basic figures priced at $8.99 each.  I know the deal with pricing like this.  It's used to gauge what consumers are willing to pay.  But when there's a slew of FO Snowtroopers and you want to pick up another couple for troop building, this is a kick in the shins.  Especially since Walmart seems to be rolling basic figure prices as low as $6.94 per figure. 
Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: JediJman on December 4, 2015, 11:23 AM
Meh. This has bothered me less and less over the years.  With everyone accepting 90 day returns, I pretty much buy what I want when I find it, then end up returning items that I can find cheaper elsewhere.  I refuse to pass up a figure for $1 or 2 difference when there's a risk I'll spend at least that trying to track it down later.  And honestly I expect to pay a buck more for everything at TRU.  I'm willing to "donate" to their cause in the hopes that they don't shut down yet another store near me.  Still grouchy that the closest one closed last year and that there are no K-Marts within half an hour of my house anymore.
Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: Nicklab on December 4, 2015, 01:53 PM
The new Disney era has quickly shown us that in their licensed merchandise model they are all about keeping costs down and maximizing their profits.  The result?  A significantly dumbed down basic figure line at an MSRP of $7.99.  So when TRU decides to trot out a 12% price increase for those basic figures in an effort to see what the market will bear, I'm voting with my dollars by not spending them.  I can deal with $7.99 at TRU, Target or WalMart, but not the $8.99 of these price testing stores, or the $9.99 of stores like Kohl's.

My buying is opportunistic and targeted.  I follow what's showing up at which retail chains at a given time.  If I have to go buy something at a big box store, or if I'm passing very close to a store, then I'll check for figures.  Very often I'll opt for Amazon Prime eligible items to save on shipping and minimize the running around.  The days of going on dedicated toy runs are very minimal these days.

The new Disney era has quickly shown us that in their licensed merchandise model they are all about keeping costs down and maximizing their profits. 

Do we know its Disney, and not Hasbro?  Is anyone aware of the contract and how its structured (flat license fee, % or cost, % of retail), and if the contract is any different than what Lucasfilm had negotiated last?  I'm guessing Disney is paid a flat license fee plus a small % of the cost Hasbro charges retailers. 

I would be more likely to blame Hasbro than anyone as I'm guessing they're making most of the decisions on POA, cost to retailers, price points, mix, etc.  Retailers are just marking it up accordingly, and TRU marks it up more than most. 
Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: JediJman on December 4, 2015, 02:41 PM
Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines.  I don't think Disney has radically changed Hasbro's plans - they were started down this road already with lower articulation and more focus on different sized figures.  This isn't Disney greed - it's Hasbro's long range planning.

As for TRU, they clearly don't have the size advantage that your Walmarts or Targets have.  That means shipping costs, overhead, etc. cost them more.  If they need to charge a buck more to compensate for that, then so be it.  I'd rather that than have them go out of business trying to keep up with general merch retailers.

I would agree... Hasbro started testing the 5POA stuff during the TPM 3D launch in 2012.  The "Movie Heroes" 5POA packs (Bespin 3-pack (http://www.rebelscum.com/Bespin_Battle_Hasbro_Star_Wars_Battle_Pack.asp); Naboo 3-pack (http://www.rebelscum.com/Duel_On_Naboo_Hasbro_Star_Wars_Battle_Pack.asp)) were designed/developed in 2011 well before they knew anything about Disney buying LFL. 
Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: Scockery on December 4, 2015, 06:29 PM
IIRC,  few years back it was said that sales in boy's toys/action figure market were slumping and Hasbro told their teams to maximize profits. Add to that, increased labour costs in China  and things suck now.

Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: Nicklab on December 4, 2015, 10:18 PM
Did a little more digging.  TRU.com is also pricing basic figures at $8.99 each.  As much as I want to support TRU, doing so to the tune of $2 more per figure than Walmart digs into my bottom line too much.  I suspect that TRU may be looking at the sales figures and is trying to maximize their own profits at this time.  At least until new inventory begins to arrive in stores in greater quantities.  The stories we've been hearing indicate that Hasbro and retailers may not have enough supply on hand and have been scrambling to respond with more product.

I suspect that we're probably going to see a price shift from TRU when the movie is released and so are more figures and toys.
Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: McMetal on December 4, 2015, 11:21 PM
I saw Armor Up figures for $19.99 each at Kohl's tonight. It was so totally absurd, I could only shake my head.
Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: Qui-Gon Jim on December 8, 2015, 02:38 PM
You can't look at the Kohl's ticket price as any indication of anything.  There is ALWAYS a sale.
Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: Nicklab on December 8, 2015, 02:52 PM
Yes, but it's Kohls.  Their price structure for EVERYTHING is ridiculous.  The regular prices are high, but most items always seem to be "on sale".  But those Kohls sale prices are almost always higher than the standard price of those items at other chains.  The sale price on those Armor Up figures will probably be $16.99 at least, and that's still at least $2 more than the standard price elsewhere. 
Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: JediJman on December 8, 2015, 05:04 PM
I think it all depends on what the selection is and how many you're willing to buy.  The $19.99 price point does look absurd at first, but you can get down close to an item price that matches other retail IF you capture all the deals and buy at the multiples/price thresholds needed.  Their strategy is to make you feel like you're saving a lot of money, while getting you to increase your total basket purchase and make a return visit.  it's similar to what KB Toys used to do.  They would have price tags that Showed $8 for a $5 figure, then a red slash showing it as on sale at two for $10! 

The current offer @ Kohl's is 25% off everything and $10 in Kohl's cash for every $50 spent.  If you bought one figure, you'd pay $14.99 vs. $12.99 at someplace like Target.  Not terrible if you find something you really want.  If you bought four figures, you'd essentially pay $49.97 (including the $10 Kohl's cash), so that's like paying $12.49 versus $12.99 elsewhere assuming you come back to spend the Kohl's cash on something else.  Feels like a slightly better deal, but you don't really get the $10 off - just $10 towards a future purchase.  If you can stack a 15% off personal rewards coupon with the other items, then it starts to make more sense.

Compare that to buying a case at someplace like EE.  They have a case of 8 armor up figures for $109, so now you're paying $13.75 per figure - more if you can't get the free shipping.

What are people's general experiences buying from "tunghori" on eBay?  I'm tempted to buy the latest wave of WM figures from him, but not sure what the paint quality is likely to be considering how crappy the factory accepted versions of this line have been.  Does he do a fairly good job of screening for quality?
Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: Muftak on June 21, 2016, 04:17 PM
As a loose figure collector, I have bought several figures from Tunghori in the past and had only one minor issue with quality--a glob of paint on a figure's face that kind of looked like a large mole. (I performed a minor Xacto surgery and solved the problem.)

Without the benefit of side-by-side comparison to "acceptable" figures as you say, I have not had an issue with any of the others.

I bought the Walmart exclusive Black Series TFA Han Solo & Leia from Tunghori and received them last week.  I also got a couple of other figures in the order which averaged the shipping costs down a little bit.  Overall, I thought the paint apps were okay.  And I was actually pleasantly surprised with the face paint apps on the Leia.  I have seen some positively awful samples of that Leia surface online, but mine wound up being okay.

Normally I wouldn't go this route.  But I only saw a lone Captain Phasma from this wave in the wild, and I was really getting tired of driving to every WalMart store in the North Jersey area with nothing to show for it.

It's as hit/miss as retail at this point Dave.  I got imp navy commanders from china once, one having 2 left feet the other 2 right...  It worked out obviously but I was lucky.  In general they're just overproduction and not rejects or mistakes.  Honestly I've never seen that except maybe the guy selling all the chipped Mickey droids for cheap.

I haven't ordered from him in a few years, but I used to order a lot of army builders from him.  It's a lot like buying scratch and dent furniture IMO.  There may be something really small like a paint ap issue or a loose limb, or the figure may look pretty much like what you get right out of the package.  Personally, I always felt like there was something not quite right with the figures, even if I couldn't spot it. I'm fine with that if the figures are really cheap and I'm getting doubles...my 10th AT-ST Driver doesn't need to be perfect, especially if I can get him for $5 less. 

I've thought about using him for the BS figures too, but can't pull the trigger.  I'd rather pay a few bucks more for a packaged one or wait until the inevitable release.  It would definitely be nice to get these guys checked off the list though.

I bought a lot of stuff from him. Sometimes, you have to put the figure together or it's missing an accessory, but I've never been disappointed.

I got a Biker scout once with two right feet, double ankle holsters!

Shadow Stormtroopers with one leg longer than the other.

Juno Eclipse with two of the same calves. (I already had a good copy anyway)

I've found that if you complain, they might replace or refund, but that was a different seller, not Tunghori.

Meijers here has Jungle assortment at $3.99 and space/whatever assortment at $5.99 clearance. Means, if you want Sarko Plank and Atsy you gotta pay two bucks more. (Makes no sense to me, but whatever)

Most of the $3.99 bunch were Resistance Troopers, Goss Toowers, Hux, Guavan Enforcer, that blue droid and the much desired Constable Zuvio.

I forgot to scan Ezra, Kana and Inquistor (grand).

First Odor TIEs were $19.99.  Poe's X-Wang was more, not that cheap, just under $40, IIRC, and had security things around it. LIKE ANYONE WOULD STEAL THAT.  :D

Some other stuff on sale, but probably ends tomorrow.

I almost bought something. But I i've gotten used to not collecting at retail.

I don't know - at $12 a figure, I almost feel like I'm losing money if I don't buy another one of these.  You can essentially throw two figures away at that price.  If it gets any lower, I think I'd have to bite just to get another FO Officer.

That set is the first time they've offered up the ROTS Phase II Clone Trooper.  The only other Phase II Clone that's been offered in the line thus far was Commander Cody, but his armor is substantially different from the standard trooper armor.

I'd like the EE one at that price.

Same here.  I held off on that set, and getting that one on sale would be nice.  Especially considering that one is only repaints.

Toys R Us is currently running a BUY ONE, GET ONE promotion on all Star Wars 3.75" figures and vehicles.  This promotion runs now through October 8th, and is BUY ONE, GET ONE FOR 40% OFF.

There is also a sale currently on ALL lightsabers.  They are currently 20% off.  The standard Force FX lightsabers are priced around $149 each, so this sale would get those pieces for $120.  And the Kylo Ren Force FX lightsaber which sells for over $200 would see a very significant discount.

$2 figures at Meijer, (hopefully not just today, I didn't see any signs or flyers regarding a special clearance sale), they were still marked $3.98. If you want Zuvio and Resistance Troopers...they did have a couple of Hux's left and one Goss Toowers after I bought one of every one. Only other location I've been to recently had the same selection, with some the blue droid and Sarco Planks, maybe a guavian enforcer, but that was last week.

Depending on how well I like the trooper, I might go back.

My TFA collection is now at 7 characters.  :P

Avoid the TIE at all costs. I've had mine for a month now and the wings absolutely refuse to stay attached. If it's just sitting there, the wings will pop off. It's a piece of junk.

It looks like the clearances are here for TFA 3.75" basic figures.  At a local TRU these are now marked down to $4.99 each.  I was tempted to pick up some FO Snowtroopers, but I'm going to wait and see if we might get an SA version at some point. 

Target was a little weird though.  I saw some Atsy figures marked down to $2.90 each.  I wanted to pick up another Resistance Rey, so I scanned that on the price check station.  Lo and behold, the Jungle/Space assortment scans at $7.96 each.  It all came across as a bit random.

I only took note of this yesterday during a visit to TRU, but they're running a BOGO deal through tomorrow.  It's BOGO 50% off.  I finally bit the bullet on some R1 packaged figures like Kylo Ren from wave 1 and Vader from wave 2.  That plus the TFA figures being on clearance made for some okay deals.  Especially since I was able to use some rewards, too.

Eric at www.ImperialHolocron.com posted that he found later wave TFA 3.75" figures at 5 Below...

Today, my gf scored some for me at a local store!  The FO Stormtrooper Squad Leader, Maskless Kylo Ren, Old Han, Hassk Thug, etc., etc.  I never saw a lot of that stuff in stores.  Caught a couple Hassk Thugs but Han always seemed to be gone.  5 Below is the place to be I guess.  Patience paid off. :)

I'm anxious to get an extra of the FO Squad Leader cuz I just love that ammo pack thingie.  Badass.  I imagine Stormies having those in the olden days. :P

I'm wanting to do up a nice "Old Han" too.  It's the one thing from TFA I really wanted and never got.  I will add a lil articulation and better paint apps.  Boom.

Nice to know the final waves are turning up at 5 Below.  I've been wanting to get some doubles of the First Order Squad Leader, too.  And I also wanted to get another unmasked Kylo Ren so that I could kitbash that with the 3.75" TBS Kylo Ren.

I think I'm too much of a customizing novice to want to tackle a proper SA TFA Han Solo, as much as I really want one.

Oddly I've never seen clearanced tfa basic figs for less than. $7.  Best I ever saw were sales at dollar general.  Never got much custom fodder because of that.

The TFA clearances aren't limited to 5 Below stores.  I spotted TFA 3.75" basic figures on clearance at Tuesday Morning.  And they had late wave figures like unmasked Kylo Ren and Resistance Rey, as well as more common figures like Finn and the FO TIE Pilot.  And they're $4.99 each.

The only late wave TFA figure that I'd still like more of are the First Order Stormtrooper Squad Leaders.  I've found a grand total of ONE at 5 Below.

I also found clearance priced TFA figures at TRU in BINS.  They're still $4.99, but the big bins that probably have about 100 figures in them are a new development in stores near me.  It's not the best bargain going, but it does seem to indicate that TRU really wants to clear out that TFA basic figure inventory.
Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: Diddly on May 10, 2017, 09:34 PM
HUGE clearances at TRU, at least my local store that did not have these last week. All TFA figures are $4.49, vehicles down to $19.99, Black Series figures (or rather the 50 Finns and Zuvios on the pegs for 18 months) down to $11.99

I haven't been toy hunting as much lately due to the futility, but stopped at Target last night to get some mother's day cards and swung through the SW aisle and was surprised/annoyed/curious that they still had so much TFA stuff on the pegs at normal retail prices.  They had a couple pegs of 3.75 TFA peg warmers as well as the $20 vehicle assortments (never did see the Rogue One assortments at Target).

Target is usually the most aggressive and sensible about clearing out old stock, so it really makes me wonder what is going on with these SKUs and why they have let them sit there for over a year and a half.
Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: Darby on June 10, 2017, 01:00 PM
Stopped by the local Stuff Etc. and they had a large amount of TFA late wave (Kylo Res Unmasked / Resistance Rey) figures for $3.99 as well as last wave TFA Micro Machines. I was able to score the AOTC set with the AT-TE which I had yet to see. Probably worth a look if you're still hunting for anything in this range.

Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: Darby on June 10, 2017, 08:13 PM
Stuff Etc. is a consignment store by and large, which made this odd. Definitely wasn't someone brought a few pieces they couldn't sell in, this was cases of overstock.

ETA: Actually I'm pretty sure I know where these came from. There was a toy shop here last summer that came and went in a flash. I remember they had some of these assortments in stock at the time. I bet they gave up the remainder to consignment.

According to Brickseek, a few of the Targets around here have hit further clearance (finally)...$2.38 for 3.75" and $2.96 for 6". I checked last night but the prices were not in effect yet...hopefully today.

At that price, even the seas of Jyns and Cassians start to look tempting.
Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: Scockery on August 10, 2017, 02:17 PM
I paid $2 for most of what TFA figures I have and still found their worth questionable...but I'm far on the toy collecting burn-out side of the force now.

$3 for 6" sounds nuts. I might even be foolish enough to try that scale at that price.
Title: Re: Retail Prices/Sales/Discounts
Post by: Jesse James on August 10, 2017, 04:28 PM
I got a Kanan for $5 once.  He hangs out looking out of place but I mean they are fun toys soooo whatevs.

I really wish that 6" Cassian was that good in 3.75" since he did the most "action" in that outfit. :-\

I don't spend a lot on 5poa and wait for sales and such.  I think I bought K2S0 full price and he was one that didn't hang around long.  TFA was a learning experience but even then I think many were $5 or less for me.  And if I didn't see it at a store I don't own it.  Still don't own Tassu Leach, Ackbar and other figures.  5 Below bailed me on the squad leader and helmetless Ren.

I was only buying for the pilot but wow they were here then gone.  I would like a couple more 5poa Cassian figures maybe if prices are right.

You know, my store had three of those four packs and I passed on them since I was buying up so many other extras.  That would be a good set to get dupes of though with a spare Two Tubes and Tank Driver.   :-\

I made out pretty well today...picked up a few Jedha Revolt packs for $7.48, a couple more Rebels figures for $2.38 and a half dozen Jyns and Cassians for $2.96 a pop. I'm about to go on vacation so it seemed like a good time for a Target blitz.

Mine had one Cassian 3.75" for $2 and change so I got him.  They had 4 Cassian 6" figures but I resisted. 

TFA figures are still almost $4 as were all TFA packaged figures.  Go figure.

My walmart on the other hand has dumped everything to the lawn and garden and prices are ok.  4 packs are $13, basics are pretty cheap.  We shall see how it goes.

5 Below has 2 packs for $5 but nothing locally yet, but I've heard some friends in WV got them so that's cool.

I found the last Jedha (snicker) set at Target for $7.48...even I couldn't pass it up. They had a few Rogue One figures and Force Awakens for $2.30-ish each, a lot of Jyns and resistance troopers. Surprisingly only one imp ground crew. No cheap 6" figures.

2 packs were still full price, but I already found them at Five Below...it;s weird the two packs are $5 and next to them are single figures for $5. Had Baze/Stormie, Maul/Seventh sista and Mouthy mcTurtle/Death Trooper. No First Odor Snowtrooper/Poes or furry guy/shore trooper.

TRU had the elite first order desert filth TIE for $13...i think, Shelf tag said so, but never could find a price checker to verify.  Wasn't that interested.

Wal-mart's clearance here sucks...the one that had anything. They still Sarco plank for $8. The rebel speeders for $15...been like that for months. One Rogue one 3 pack left at $10. Meh.

Just began surfacing I guess but nothing like that here.  2 packs are even varied here.

Non-clearance fun. I found a Jakku desert speeder with Finn at Toys R Us, unmarked...took it to scanner. $31.99. No, thanks.

HasbroToyShop has it for $8 on clearance and 15% off if you buy $15 or more use FORCEFRIDAY17 code.

All clearanced 3 3/4" First Order army builders seem to be gone besides the snowspeeder.

I picked up five Jedha Revolt sets today at Walmart for $5 a pop. I tried but could not talk myself out of it.  ;)
