So here is what I got on May 4th, 2019. I was waiting for Amazon.com to drop prices, too. But NOTHING happened! If I had known that before, I would've ordered Boba Fett and Bossk from the TBS Archive Line, too! Smyths Toys sells them for 26,99€.
I was extremely surprised that there were NO special deals on Amazon U.S. at all on May 4, 2019! But to be fair, the prices for several Star Wars (Hasbro) items have been at a very low level for days and even weeks!
Other than that I did not go to an actual store on Saturday. Smyths Toys had a special promotion for May 4th, but only for LEGO...

The cheapest Black Series 6 Inch figure I could find that day was Kylo Ren, which sold for 8,00€.
Even Kylo sold out for that price.
The one and only Vintage Collection figure that was part of the May 4th offer, is the Scarif Trooper! It was reduced to 15,00€ and sold quickest of all offers!
By now it’s back in stock for 18,99€. I’m surprised how quickly Amazon can restock their assortment sometimes. Klaatu and Leia (Boushh) are also still available. In comparison Smyths Toys sells TVC basic figures for 15,99€ by now.
The TBS Centerpiece Luke was also part of the daily offer for 17,19€. That’s actually cheaper than the price of amazon.com!
Also Vader is stil reduced to 24,04€. That’s pretty impressive compared to their initial price tag of 89,90€!
Tamer:
Glad you founds some deals.

Museum of Natural History
Museum für Naturkunde
Berlin
If you ever come to Berlin, I can really recommend to you to visit this museum. As I learned it has become the most popular museum there by the numbers of visitors.
I had been wanting to go there since I was 6 years old. And it took me 5 tries 'til it finally worked. It is important to note that tickets are only available online and you better buy them at least two days in advance. It can be a frustrating experience when you go there spontaneously. The security guards will not likely show mercy because every second question they're asked is why tickets aren't sold in the ticket box in front of the building anymore. Regardless of the ongoing Pandemic, I think this is just a measure to safe money on staff. They don't care about parents being frustrated and children crying when they learn that the museum is sold out for the next couple days. Many people I talked to go there without further preparation and go home prior the next free time window of the museum.
But once you're in, you can let the magic of nature and natural history amaze you.

Dinosaurs
I spent 5 hours in there and really took my time. You could also go through it within 30 minutes or so. Since the dinosaurs are most amazing to me (as to most children there) I spent 2 hours at the dinosaurs alone.
Brachiosaurus
Seen the boy in a Mando hoodie on the right side of the picture above? I told him that I think his hoodie is cool.
Apatosaurus
Predators
Archaeopteryx - The little Star of the Show
Asteroids
Parasites & diseases
Tristan Otto, the T. rex from Denmark is currently in Chicago. Only a copy of his head stayed in Berlin.
You can see which toys I found in Berlin after the jump. I got to admit that this exhibit not only let nostalgia hit hard, but also lighted my dinosaur fever, again. So I finally bought the largest items of Mattel's current JW assortment:
And to my pleasure these are all 1/18 scale.
Tamer:
Wow, looks better than DC. And way less crowded.
I would love to see this.
Thanks for taking the time to share it with us. Man, I would love to go back and see dinosaurs. Minus the eating me part.
