Depends how much of a completist you are. Wave 4 (Anakin) and Wave 6 (Yoda) never saw mass retail in Canada, as far as I know. Same with the Wampa and Taun Taun deluxes. I had to get those goodies at local toy shows for not so cheap.
$50 for Phasma is stupid crazy indeed. But I'd she'll out $40 easy for her cause it's so damn hard to find and a damn nice looking Trooper. Did you check the "As Seen on TV Store" aka Showcase? They carrie Star Wars stuff. That's where I got mine.

On Force Friday they handed out discount cards. They need to scan a bar code in store. Some need a physical card so this might not work. YMMV.
Edit: sorry it's upside down. Not rotating on my cell for some reason.

I'd also pay $40 for a Phasma, considering the ammount of time and money I would save on the hunt...but $56.50 after taxes is too rich for my blood.
Totally aware of the Yoda and Anakin distrobution issues, but these guys are marking up like crazy...even on figures like Greedo who warmed pegs since release.
I checked the As seen on TV store at STC and nothing, but will check some others when I get the chance. I'm trying to avoid malls like the plague right now though.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion
Believe me, I have wasted so much time and gas trying to get a Phasma and the others. It's either that or pay $40 at the next show anyways. I'd rather the thrill of the hunt. But I have my Phasma now and even have an extra thanks to my wife. I could let go of it if my arm was twisted lol. I would not let it go for less than $40 though. Cause it actually did cost $29.99 plus tax at As Seen on TV.

Winners is really tricky.
No doubt scalping in part clears them out, but I do know a lot of collectors who find stuff there as well. They just don't get a consistent supply of items, sometimes less than a case(like 1 case split between two stores)
I usually find stuff there maybe 4 times a year, and only stop when it is convenient for me. I never make a special trip just to hit a Winners.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion
The best Star Wars deal so far I got was from Walmart.ca black friday. Thou i doubt it but heres hoping they do it again for Boxing day!!! BTW anyone know if it was an old stock of SW BS they offered on sale? Anyway dont mind if it was an old stock, for $10 what can simply go wrong.

They are essentially a liquidation type store where suppliers send extra stock to at a "bargain". I have had luck with them before...randomly found a stormtrooper there when it seemed like the only stores getting them was Target.
