Finally scored a Legacy Millennium Falcon. Mint, loose for $240. Missing the bottom turret, both figures and two of the hologram game pieces.
The owner had it up since December for $400. Waited him out and convinced him to drop the price since it's missing a few things. It's so awesome, just wish I would have snagged it new back in 08. |

Given some of the aftermarket prices people are paying for certain figures, rejecting a retail price point pushing $20 seems hypocritical, but it's still a hard pill to swallow when the price is comparable to 6", which I still suspect will have superior sculpts and paints.
But all we know about the TVC right now is that it will include Rey, and I suspect more from the Wal-Mart Black Series. Asking me to buy repacks of figures at $15 and up that I can buy at $6 on clearance right now is unacceptable. I understand that the TVC cardbacks appeal to a large portion of the collecting community, but for me the appeal was the quality of the figures. I'm just not in the market to pay for packaging (See Marvel Legends 3.75 Amazon Exclusive Sinister Six box set). There are a wealth of 3.75 figures I'd pay a premium for, but I fear that might not be what we get initially. |

If you already have the figures, what does it matter to you whether they sell them again to someone else who will buy them at that price? |

Rey, Kylo, the First Order Stormtroopers, and Phasma in particular would likely be welcome repacks. Maybe the Death Troopers from R1 as well. To say nothing of any genuinely "new" stuff or worthy updates/redos we get. But yeah, a lot of it is gonna be repacks of the Wal-Mart exclusives (though even those have room for improvement...FO Stormie helmets, for example), and select older figures. Quote:
As much as I would love to another shot to get more Scarif troopers i don't see them coming. I don't know why some people think there will be more Rogue One figures? What could drive that - the move is done and released on blu-ray and the characters are dead so i doubt we'll be seeing them for a long time. And I'm sayingthat as a huge R1 fan.

There are a ton of great repacks and simple kitbashes that could be all new sort of
Take the Nien Numb from that online only wave of TVC that had all the Awesome ROTJ figures, Prune face, ERG, the Ewok, ... that whole wave could be rereleased actually but Nine Numb could be put on a TFA card and Bam whole new thing! The TVC Ackbar could be repainted as TFA Ackbar or Raddus from R1, Hoth and Endor Rebel troopers ( and RRTF for that matter) which could just come straight back out could also be recolored and part swapped minimally for R1 troopers. The 5poa Kylo unmasked head on the TBS body from last year would make a KILLER Vinty carded Kylo... possibly with the extra masked head from the Armor up thrown in for added value. Take Ello Asty's head from the 5 POA, Snap Wesly's head from 5 POA and put them both on Poe TBS body with some different paint aps if at all even and bam there are those two with no tooling. That awesome Scarrif trooper could have at least three paint variants from the same tooling. Krennic, Hux and those cool looking generic First order flight controller types from the Tie Stealing scene could be made from existing Imperial Officer parts and the corresponding 5 POA heads, Bodhi can be made from the Imperial Scanning tech body with the 5 poa figure head and vest... on and on and on. this lien could be great if Hasbro would slow down and THINK about how to get the most bang for the buck.

Check it out--some Revenge of the Sith figures showed up at my local Book-Off a few days ago. They currently have these at $5 each:
And they have two of these at $10 each: Anybody want me to go back and grab any of these for you? I also picked up an EIII Clone Trooper and Droideka for $5 each.
