Holy crap!  $49.99 for this guy.  https://www.gamestop.ca/Toys-Collectibles/Games/897105/star-wars-the-black-series-gaming-greats-riot-scout-trooper

I'm a sucker for Scout Troopers, but even I can't justify buying that.

Is this an exclusive to Gamestop?  That does seem like an insane pricepoint for what is just a re-release of the Biker Scout with a few accessories.  If it was a retailer exclusive then I could see why they'd try to do a bit of price gouging...

I think it's a Gamestop exclusive.  I was already on the fence for the Umbra trooper at $44.99 ($40.49 after edge discount) but ended up getting him yesterday.  I just can't pay $44.99 after discount for the Scout Trooper though unless it was a completely new and improved mold.

You know what's sad?  It just occurred to me that back around 2012, $50 would buy you a Biker Scout figure AND a SPEEDER BIKE vehicle! 

Now the so-called "deluxe" Black Series at $50 just gets you a shield and staff weapon.

Yeah, even the Amazon Mando one, it was a hard pill to swallow at $70, but that was after I was patient and didn't jump on the original $90 price tag.

This is nuts.. $70 plus tax for one and a half Figures!  They are getting to be as bad as TRU. Yesterday I saw a whole peg full of Credit Collection Ahsoka’s at $54.99.

I just checked the TRU website and they have reduced their ridiculous prices on the credit collection Ahsoka to $32.97 and Bo-Karan to $38.47.  Much better than the “regular” price of $54.99.

Definitely better, but still not that amazing considering these are likely their clearance prices. They jacked up their retro figures to $25, so their clearance prices are pretty much the regular price.

Certainly a few good deals there though, like black series antoc merrick and galen erso, rainbow chewie and axe woves vintage collection. Unfortunately I found nothing that I want for my collection that meets the price I'm willing to pay. I'm much more selective these days.

I found a couple of decent deals at my local GameStop.  Picked up a black series Ewok Village Costume Princess Leia for $16.99 which I had been wanting for quite a while.

Her and the ceremonial Leia were that price for a while now.
