    With GameStop I would order two to reach the free shipping threshold and return one in store. Also, all Gaming Greats have been easily found in store once released

    Scorch was $40 after shipping and taxes. I usually buy 2 of a figure at GS to get free shipping and sell the spare to a friend but even with a price increase on the figure it still doesn't meet their new free shipping threshold. It's honestly tempting to just give up the preorder and hope he goes on sale.

    There's Boba tax and then there's just gouging. The only newness on these releases are the card art designs, everything else is pretty basic and a fully paid-for legacy mold.

    They upped the free shipping threshold and the shipping rate. GS was always 5.99$ shipping for me anyways, now its 7.99$

    I'll take my chances in-store....

    Also, Micro Galaxy Squadron battle droid tank and snow speeder are available to order on Amazon. Bummer though, they are mid and end or January shipping time frame.....

    Nice landing gear and wing flaps on the ship. there is also button on the bottom to help get R2 out of his seat, similar to other releases.

    Yeah, the new free shipping threshold sucks 'cause not even two gets you there. All three other Commandos are still currently available, and one is even on sale. I'ma take my chances that I can pick him up later, bundled with some other stuff, in store, or on sale. I think I found my limit for how much I'm willing to pay for a single figure.

    Yep, Boba's sold out and I got assed out of over paying for more Bobas to add to my collection.

    And fuck that GameStop nonsense. I'm done with jumping through their hoops and will just try to get the figure when it comes out.

    I haven't stepped into a Gamestop in over 3 years, but if you find him in store, more power to ya! I'm using this as an excuse to start scaling back what I collect.

    Same here. I've scaled back a while ago and promised myself I'd only collect clones (or mainly clones). So now...that's going to be even more of a reality since they're not putting out the different varieties of clones (except the VC line) all the time :)  More money saved for me!


    However...any legacy Siths...say from...the Old republic era?....yeah...that's gonna be hard to resist :p

    Walmart was just nice enough to cancel my Halloween Wookie order. That company is worthless

    Could get worse. They could start cancelling orders like Purge Trooper, 1-Jac or Boba Fett Jedi Ruins.
