Good to finally see some movement on the Order 66 pack.  7% is a pretty weak discount - I'll keep waiting.

Order 66 pack is currently on sale for 15% off, so about $10 cheaper. Still debating…

I just checked out a number of TVC items on Amazon, and thankfully I have not seen the prices increase on preorders.  The news about 10% tariffs on imports from China spurred me to finally order the deluxe IG-12 with Grogu. 

But I don’t think this issue is going to go away anytime soon.  In 2023 the toys, games and sporting goods products imported from China amounted to about $32.3 billion in goods.

I was considering preordering Kallus and Ventress from Amazon but I got a bad case of sticker shock when I saw their prices - $24.99! That’s as much as a 6” figure for crying out loud.  ::)

I'm pretty confident they'll change that.  It has to be an error./

Amazon has adjusted them all back down to $16.99 each (or in the case of BS6" DLX SM-33 back up to $33.99).

Looks like the Tusken Raider 4-pack is discounted down to $50 on Amazon as well. Had to scroll through a few pages to find it. TY for the heads up about the other sales too!

Still nothing else though. It's been more than a year since it was released, and it is still listed at full price.

I still check that one every single day…it has got to come down eventually. Such a weird outlier.

Just noticed the Modal Nodes multipack is also on sale at Amazon for 65% off. My total all-in-all was $34.
Looks like I missed the Jet Trooper sale though.

That one shows as $80 for me.

It does look like it's back to normal pricing now  :(  I swear last night it was 65% off.

Nice score! 

At that price I'd have picked one up just to have the parts.

Thanks, I'm sorry it was just a temporary thing. Didn't mean to fake you out.
Still trying to figure out the discount patterns for Amazon here. Yesterday, the Imperial Light Cruiser Hallway set was on sale, but today it is full price. The Tantive Hallway, for comparison, has remained on sale for months.
I checked the Modal Nodes invoice to see if it was a single vendor that had done a deep discount, but no... it came from 'Amazon.com Services, Inc'.
Makes me nervous about waiting to purchase an E-Wing. $86 is fair, but I'd like to space out larger purchases like that, especially with preorders hitting soon. With my luck, it will be $140 on the secondary market after this wave of figures hits.

Not at all.   That kind of quick and very temporary price change happens on Amazon all the time.
