2023 TVC Deluxe TM Darktrooper

[Rob]

I ordered 14 because I want the option to buy a lot.  I'm probably going to cancel a few later this year or right around when they start shipping early next year.  But we'll see how rich I'm feeling in a few months when they start arriving.

I'd prefer a $1X version with less accessories but with the accessories the price is fair. So much hyperbole

Not so much hyperbole as my jumping off point. I bought the E-Web Stormtrooper Deluxe set because that gun is substantial, but I have passed on all the other boxed Deluxe sets. I bought the Mando &grogu Deluxe set because, at $18, it still felt like a fair deal. But not the Maldo Kreis set last year because the price jumped 8 bucks.

I like this design for the Darktrooper, and I appreciate it is 100% new tooling with added accessories. That is what got me to the order page in the first place.

I also appreciate the huge gulf between the niche toylines and their prices and what Hasbro does, and how that gap is narrowing.

I "finished" my collection in 2008, the last 14 years have been gravy to me. To pick and choose as I please. For $60 I want a little meat with my gravy.

Still available to pre-order at Amazon.

Either Hasbro made a **** ton of these knowing the popularity or that $28 price tag is scaring off a lot of pre-orders (people holding off waiting for a lower price).

I do kind of hope it is the later, and it helps convince them to lower prices a bit, especially on the deluxe figures. (It won't, but one can hope.)

I ordered 3 from Dorkside and 3 from Amazon. I'd pick up more if they discounted it, but I feel like I'm doing my part with 6.

I went beyond what I had originally intended with these.  I ordered 2 from Hasbro Pulse and 4 from Amazon.

Preorder Price Guarantee should mean that our existing preorders update automatically.

Nice!

I grabbed a couple more at this price via Jeff's link.

[Rob]

Looks like my existing pre-orders already adjusted to the new price.

Nice.  Thanks for the link!

[Rob]

Yeah that's great.  I ordered a pair... am having my wife order a pair... That's the price these should be.

For whatever it's worth, it let me place multiple orders.
