Do you mean $37.97 to $39.97? yeah I figured he'd be $40. Yikes.

Hey gang! Just noticed while trawling through some links that the Imperial Clone Shock Trooper is back up for preorder/ship to store! Wanted to share so anyone who missed him when he went up gets a shot. Listed as "almost sold out online", so hop to it!

Pre-order with ship date sept 1st. Hopefully the Rex pops up soon.

Thanks, I just placed an order!

Placed a preorder in for the mystery Rex at EB this morning. Thanks for the heads-up. No sign of Bad Batch Rex so far.

I picked up the last clone wars Hawk at tru yesterday. 2 things bothered me.
1. Last Hawk. No sign of Echo. Literal shit tons of Anakin and obi wan. How do they miss the mark on case ratios this badly?
2. $39.99 They've now doubled in price since the first wave.

happy to have dropped this line, it's ruthless

$39.99 at what store?

You're essentially paying $45 bucks per figure after tax if true.

Toys R Us. But they were $37.99 at Order date, and this is just the price creep seen across all toys.

The Mouse is probably demanding shit tons of money from Hasbro to maintain the global toy license. It's the only reason I can think of why the Black Series has become such a cut throat line to collect that's full of exclusives and re-use that's not even worth the money compared to their other lines.

In my experience at my local TRU they had a crap ton of Hawks and only a couple of Obi and Ani's. Not a single Echo in sight though.

Now that you mention it I noticed this the other day at my TRU except for the Comic Legends figures. Maul, Kir Kanos and the Rabbit were all $39.99 instead of $37.99.
