Each to their own of course. Now that I look at them again they don't look as ugh as the first time I saw them. Still no really my thing in terms of colors.

My stormtroopers shipped. So it proves they were in stock.

Yeah no one was doubting they were in stock. It was the question of whether or not they actually had stock in the retail stores. I called my store they didn't have it in stock there. I'm just hoping I catch a restock online.. Cause apparently these are hard to get literally everywhere. Even in the states people are having trouble due to scalpers and other collectors hoarding.

Or they're just super popular and supply can't meet demand.

Yeah but take a look on eBay and you can see that while they may be hard to get now, their price isn't really worth it for scalpers.

Basic Stormtroopers from wave 1 on to this version don't warrant rushing and paying a high price.

On average the Remnant Stormtrooper right now (sold ones) are around $45-$50(Cdn) so not much more than after tax retail.

Older basic Stormtroopers are all over the place, but generally on the low end of pricing, from below retail to $50 approximately.

What I'm saying is they generally don't hold their value so be patient.

Never really thought they were that hot or rare.

I doubt it. These come in cases of 8. So they are plentiful cases. It's that the figures are army troopers and people are buying at least 2-4 at a time, sometimes more. Plus scalpers buying multiples on top of that.

Sorry if I missed this but did EB offer pre-orders on the Archive Wave with Thrawn, Cody, Luke, and Han?

No, as of right now they don’t have listings of them.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

Normally Toysrus ships from Purolator. But today I check the tracking on my Remnant troopers and it's being done by another carrier. I'm not too sure about the new delivery service.
