It is all opinions obviously but the retro line is not as deep or strong as the classified line. The Star Wars TVC Haslabs still carry good aftermarket prices.

This kind of smells like bullshit to me. How many did they sell that they didn't count towards the reward unlocks?

They were under 800 from the Ketchup and Mustard unlock. It sucks that they made more (but also in hindsight: duh of course they would), but I can't imagine BBTS has more than say 100 of these units for sale.

Wondering if Hasbro sold off their remaining replacements they had allotted for when it shipped out 10 months ago to BBTS? If that is the case, can't imagine them having more than maybe 100 or 200 units. How many replacements do they produce as back-up? Maybe 1% of the production run?

Right-o. This is "Beach Head found at regional discount store" material. There might be a decent rationale why there are extras, just curious that we've never seen this before with other HasLabs across all brands. I think.

I believe BBTS has gotten a few of some other HasLabs in stock before, but never this many and they always sold it for a LOT more. I don't have time now, but I think if you google, you can find old listings for the Sail Barge and Unicron.

The Razor Crest TVC went through the same thing recently.

Yep, would have pounced on this if I didn't already have one...

They've done the before. They actually had the Sentinel available for awhile as well.

Did they sell them for $499? The product page on their site says $350
