Does Amazon tend to mark their exclusives down

Eventually, yes.  The Bad Batch carded 4-pack, Kenobi carded 3-pack, etc all saw clearance eventually.  Not sure why they haven't really done that yet with the Ahsoka/Droid carded 4-pack.

Speaking of the Bad Batch 4-Pack... I just found two of them at Ross for $15.99 each.

I'm going to take the grey troopers and then send the rest to Toys for Tots.

Got some of the 4" Pacific Rim figures from McFarlane at Ross for $3.99 per. Not exactly TVC but I'll see how they fit as random creatures in the Geonosis arena.

Keep the ROSS updates coming, boys.  :)

I loaded up on Pacific Rim figures yesterday too, but have yet to see the Bad Batch set. Will check the store across town today at lunch though, fingers crossed.

Someone posted their Ross 4 pack on Reddit. It's in a plain white SIOC box, and the number in the top left corner is F28865S01. Like Rob said, $15.99 price tag. Good luck!

The two I found weren't in white boxes... just normal packaging with the four carded figures and a big ol' Ross price tag slapped on the corner.

Came across another Bad Batch yesterday. Same packaging as before and the same I ordered from Amazon and while back. But it had no price tag and I wasn't about to wait in line and be turned down from buying.

Thanks for the tip, I went by the closest store to me at lunch and picked up an R2-D2 Hologram projector for $6 but no Bad Batch sets to be found (yet). Will hit a couple more tomorrow, fingers crossed. 🤞

Just bought a (supposedly new, mint in box) "Chewbacca & AT-ST" off eBay for only $39.99, w/ free shipping.

The seller supposedly has multiple and appears to be a wholeseller.  None of their other items are Star Wars or toy-related, and it is quite an odd assortment...  :-X

We will see what I end up getting but I thought I's share the link here in case anyone had skipped this one and wanted to try and the lower eBay price.

There it is, at that price I’m buying a second one to display with the helmet on. 

Have there been any wide release, in-store deluxe sets that haven’t found steep discounts layer?  I’m thinking about not buying them right away anymore.

The TVC deluxe Cobb Vanth is on sale now at Target for $12.49, and TVC mainline figures are on sale for $8.49... if you can find them!

The sale lasts until Christmas.

The Escape from Order 66 set finally went on sale today at Amazon, albeit for only 7% off. You can save $4.40!  :D

Kinda tempting but I’m still inclined to hold out for a better price.
