Sometime it pays off to buy from 3rd party sellers on Amazon because odds are: They know how to pack your stuff well and actually take the time to do so!




I got those for 11,98€ each with FREE shipping. And they arrived in perfect condition!

They don't care about collector (both sellers & amazon).

Not a problem for me, if I bought, it's for opening and play a little  ;D

Absolutely, and I'll do exactly that! Can't wait to see them both in hand! :D

Amazon USA delivered in great condition this time!
Only the Retro Collection 2-Pack has a little crease in one corner, but that’s totally fine for $13.13. The VC Army Builder 4-Packs were $24.99 each and the Retro 6-Pack was $68 and is sold out in Germany.

The prices in France make me cry  EL

I may buy some Retro Collection for some Kenner vintage figures from 1977-1983

Yes, Amazon and in general prices in the US are the best in the World - especially during the Holiday Season.

Boba Fett's Firespray from BOBF reached an new low at $94 on Amazon from a third party seller.
Pretty hefty fall with a MRSP of $249.99...

If you want to buy this and do our forums a favor, use the link on the frontpage to enter Amazon.com  :)

Mid November, before Black Friday, Amazon had some deals on TVC and TBS figures only for Prime members. I don't have Prime, but a friend of mine was so kind to order some for me.
They were 14€ each instead of 19,99€. A great price especially for the Stormtrooper which quickly sold out. Luke Skywalker (X-Wing), Commander Rex and Ahsoka were also part of the deal.



And as always with Amazon it's hit or *hit. Two of six cards came damaged. Four are actually good!

Indeed! And I found a TVC Weequay on Amazon for just 9,62€. It arrived in perfect condition - for me to open it!






It arrived in a cardboard envelope, which was stuffed into my mailbox. The sticker could be removed with ease. Thanks Amazon!



Part two of my order arrived almost a week later. TBS Commander Bacara was on sale for 22,99€. The box arrived in good condition, especially for Amazon's standards.

Due to a lack of vehicles in the Star Wars assortment by Hasbro, I make my way through with repaints and even look for similar designs in other toy lines. I know it's been worse back then. Now, we have the Imperial Speeder Bike and the E-Wing which both are brand-new!

On my last visit at SmythsToys, I discovered this Crab Mech fro Sonic 3. It comes with a 2.5 inch Sonic figure and looks very much like the Crab Droids seen in ROTS and the Republic Commando videogame.

It has a retail price of 39,99€ here in Germany and $29.99 in the USA. You can currently get it on Amazon for just $19.29! I am so gonna repaint one for my droid army!

With the latest price increases for The Black Series up to approx. $31.99 per Mainline figure, this current offer on Amazon takes me back to 2005. Back when you could find 6" action figures for 10 bucks...or less! $20.74 for this 2-Pack is a steal.

Agreed, and if the price is right, Amazon is the perfect place for openers like us to buy.

I think this example shows in which state the franchise is right now. Once highly anticipated characters from REBELS are now an action figure of such quality, a decade later and for an inflated price.
I mean TVC Deluxe figures have a MRSP of 33,99€ here in Germany! And Amazon try to sell some of them for a third the price. A basic TVC figure is 19,99€ here. Zeb is not my favorite alien design but a well written character and for 10,99€, you can't make a wrong turn.

That is an excellent price! I'm quite partial to Zeb because of the old concept Wookiees.
