Anyone else Having Issues with SWBS Wave 2?

Oh, okay. Good deal! Yeah, it really is. I've been primarily shopping online. I still try to search the retail stores in hopes of finding some treasure.

I have preeeetty much completely gave up on retail hunting. It just isn't worth it anymore especially how often gas is wasted when you come up empty. I will just stick to my local shop and online

I got the two I wanted from wave 1 (Maul and trooper) from retail for £20 a piece and the others Luke and R2 although they sold out at retail they seem to be sticking with the same people who bought them and are now trying to sell them, some for a loss as they are asking 20 posted.

Wave two I've got a hold of all 4 because I wanted them all, I got them for retail price or less in the case of Greedo and Bobba . I've just had my eye out and had to move quick when they've shown up cheap. So Bobba I paid 20 posted, which if you take off postage 4.10 was only 15.90 and Greedo was only 14.00 plus postage, in fact I got them all below retail if you take off postage and they're not even out here yet

In short retail collecting is becoming more and more difficult as more and more scalpers realize how much people will pay but if you go online and have a max your willing to pay and stick to it you can usually get there in the end, even if it means letting a few go along the way.

No? Yeah, it could definitely be the employees. I'll check my local Target a few more times, and if I find another series 2, then there's my confirmation.

Wow, that's quite the Mark up. sorry to hear that, Was the first series that high too?

Yeah, Greedo's the only Series 2 I've seen in any store. The distribution where I live must not be too great. Or maybe the stores aren't ordering a lot of Series 2's (though series 1's have sold very well). Collecting by retail (which is my favorite way to collect) sure is getting more and more difficult.

I know a lot have made it over here (pre retail release) and are being sold at prices waay above retail, I'm talking 10 pounds extra.

I havent heard any complaints about their distribution myself all I can say is retail employees around the holidays are faaaaaaaaaar from the most helpful group of folks
