I think their algorithms will now presell an item they're likely to get in stock until they've pre sold up to some quantity (maybe 90%of the order,  who knows), then if the pre sells happened quickly enough they jack the price on the remaining pre sells to 3x the original price.

More than ever we can't afford to be passive collectors when it comes to online hunting or we will literally pay the price.

2 Day Sale, ends Oct.18.  The 3 Propel Drones (X Wing, Vader TIE and Speeder Bike) and 4 Sphero Droids (R2-D2, R2-Q5, BB-9E and BB-8) all on for $59.99 each.

At release, all of these were roughly $300.  The prices have come down substantially since but this is the lowest I've seen them and I'd be amazed if they went any lower prior to Christmas.

Note - on the Propel Drones, it may sound funny but the box itself is almost worth the $60. You get a full sound and light show when opening the box that then turns into a display case. 

I see amazon.ca has listings not only for the Hot Wheels Prototype Falcon X-Wing and  TIE, but now also the Star Destroyer and Landspeeder.  All of them are listed as out of stock but they are orderable at $6.99 apiece.

I wonder if Hasbro will try to jack the price of the barge due to Trump's tariffs on China. Also wondering if it would affect just the Barges ordered in the USA or would Canadian orders be affected as well. If the Canadian orders never touch American soil I'd think we should be clear regardless?

I haven't received any updates by email either. Thanks for the link!

I've picked up most of the hallmark ornaments since they started in 1996 with the exception of the convention exclusives.  The storyteller ornaments are definitely the coolest from a gadget standpoint and the story they play out when they're all connected takes your Christmas tree to the next level. I'd recommend them.

The death star tree topper (lights + sound + remote control) and the force is strong tree skirt (lights only no sound) are pretty spiffy too.

too much SW these days for sure

Sacrilege!
