Yeah.. I can already feel it. I'm gonna have to pay scalper prices for an Ahsoka.

These are selling out very quickly. Local area WMs had 12 apiece; 0 this afternoon. Desperation.

Well I hope you get one. I pretty much gave up on these WM exclusives. Only ever saw the Ahsoka Troopers in store. Haven't seen a thing since. I'm ready to just pay scalper prices for Ahsoka and call it a day. Could care less about the Mando troopers anymore |

Totally understandable; it’s discouraging when companies don’t produce or ship enough. And people buying 6+ is hard to swallow. |

I think a big problem too when it comes to figure distribution in general here is we don't have enough big box stores to pick up the slack from other big box stores. Like we don't have a Target or Wahlgreens as fall back when Walmart or Toysrus is pooping the bed. Yeah we have EB and Amazon but Amazon is unreliable and doesn't have a lot and EB games tends to only get as much stock as needed to fill preorders and only get a few for the shelves. Plus the big box stores here don't restock anywhere near as frequently as in the U.S. |

I don’t know, whether it’s actually collecting multiples or buying some so sell. Who knows? |

I remember seeing someone who cleaned out walmarts of exclusives and sold them at a convention in my town for over double. All I can say is I hope he didn't sell any and now he is stuck with them. |

Can't speak for everyone, but for my own area I have joined up with a few other local collectors to form a hunt group. When one of us sees a new case, we pretty much buy the whole thing and then divide up between us. It might look like a scalper or something at the time, but it's really just one person buying for multiple collectors. It's really sad and frustrating that that's what we've had to resort to in order to each get one. I just don't understand why Hasbro thought it was a good idea to put these out as WM exclusives. They're just about my favourite figures of the year, plus they're troop builders. I hope WM paid a hefty price for them at least. |

We do the same in a group of guys in my area also. If they’re out you buy them all up and divide them, at cost. Usually the guy who finds them gets a rounded number to help for his time. |

I don't understand how you think that's helping anyone. People still can't get the figures who aren't in your collector group so you're really no different from a scalper to be honest. You're just creating more unnecessary competition for everyone else. |

Lmao
And if you buy more than one how are you helping them then. Him buying 6 for him and 5 people is literally no different than 6 people buying one each. Your argument makes literally no sense.
My God the bitter shade being thrown on this site right now over these toys. But with that being said I'll leave this right here. Hypocrite...

Plus if I did leave more a scalper likely would have cleaned it out anyway and resold it online.

So it's OK when you find and take 4 home and your not "scalping" . But when 1 guy takes them all like StarWarsTF and gives everyone 1 each at cost he's the bad guy now. Sorry but this is literally insane. |

LOL sixshot1981 makes a pretty good point there, Zeroflamez.

This is the exact reason why we DO buy for our friends on these. I have personally witnessed a scalper hovering in the aisles when I picked these up one time. (I know he was one because he approached me afterwards and we had a short conversation - he was very nonchalant about the fact that he scalps things online, he looks at it as a business). If I hadn't grabbed all the ones we needed right away, all my friends would have been screwed and had to buy on kijiji or something from that exact scalper.
Is this the way it should be? No way. It's about the most sad and frustrating experience I've had in over 10 years of hardcore Star Wars collecting, and it's honestly gotten me thinking about whether or not I want to continue to support these stupid business practices. |

Sometimes I can't really trust some who say they are doing it to help others out, when you find out they are really scalpers. |

Just for fun for anyone who NEEEEEEDS this but hates the scalper fueled nightmare hunt: if you’re a touch crafty go to EB games and grab a Gaming Greats Jango Fett. Pop the antenna off his helmet, darken the silver on his armour to grey, make his thigh armour blue, and BOOM. Mandolorian Loyalist. Easy way to troop build as well as the Jangos seem to be pretty easy to come by.

That’s painting ALOT of his under armour. And his holsters are connected to his belt. |
