Amazon 4 pack back on sale on the .ca website with free shipping. Only 2 left.. move fast!

Um.....why?

Who wants to pay $300+ for this set?

Amazon previously had the set, sold by them, for $105.99, with eligible Prime shipping.

Those got snatched up, it seems.

I think darthcyanide was linking to the ones sold by amazon.ca originally. When those sell out, it links to the product being sold by another vendor - in this case, the scalpers trying to sell it for $300+.

So the 3.75" SA Kylo and FO Stormie *were* $11.92 and when I bought a FO Stormie at a different WM yesterday, it was up to $14.86 like Leia. Guess WM noticed their $3 pricing error.

Did you see the WM "Fake Black Friday" ad today... $10 BS6 figures, which were completely sold-out and scalper-ed already (I made the rounds to 5 WMs around Calgary on Saturday and Sunday and saw 1 Emperor and Clone Sgt)

Hit the jackpot today at my local Wal-Mart. Was able to get a stormtrooper Luke and Han, Palpatine, clone trooper captain, Commander Cody, and IG-88. $10 each!

Nice! Only some of the Black Series at my Walmart rung up at $10, IG-88 and Leia rung up at $15 so I'm going to see if they come in cheaper on Friday and return.

Awesome! Yah, couldn't hurt to try for a price adjustment. I've seen Leia several times but the boxes were in bad condition .

So was this a screw up by Walmart? Were they supposed to save them for Black Friday but put them out early? Could explain why very little has come out here so far. Hopefully they have more in back that they can set up for the sale.

Yah I got the P. Leia figrue for $10 from WM but the box was not in great shape, but its still sealed so I think its still a good deal

That was the case, thanks for the back up explanation winter mute.

Would definitely not advise paying 300 for that set, as cool as it is!

The way Amazon.ca works is that it has one product page for a particular item but under an options section you can purchase off of different vendors.

Amazon.ca's stock was selling them for 105 or something, but once that sold out, the product page reflected the price given to in-stock 3-packs being sold by third-party vendors.

He was trying to link us to Amazon'r price but it sold out quickly.
