Home Depot has a Animatronic Darth Vader and Stormtrooper that can be used for both Halloween and Christmas for $300. They only had Vader set up. My wife said he looked a bit thin.

Re: star wars
I wandered into a Game Stop today. There was a Vintage Collection Mandolorian Naboo fighter for $130. Rebelscum's archive says the TPM Naboo fighter in 1999 retailed for $30. Right now on ebay, it is going for $50-60.
According to an online inflation calculator, $30 in 1999 is about $57 today.

I think I bought a few of those for $10 each at a K-B Toys clearance sale one time. They are somewhere in my basement…I think.Ran wrote: ↑Fri May 02, 2025 7:21 pm I wandered into a Game Stop today.

Re: star wars
Hasbro's prices have increased at far more than the rate of inflation, even accounting for tariffs, and the selection and overall quality have gone down. I think the newest TVC figures that were announced were going to presale at $19.99-$22.99. Those fuckers should be $12, tops.

Re: star wars
Went to WM this morning to pick up a prescription and buy the Superman BluRay. Dawdled down the toy aisle to see what’s what.
ALL their Black Series SW figures are on clearance. Figures that are normally $30 were $7.50. Granted, they have a gloriously shitty selection of unwanted toys. Probably less than two dozen figures from Acolyte, Andor Season 1 etc. But, hey, maybe somebody will finally buy that RoTJ General Calrissian figure that’s been pegwarming for I shit you not EIGHT FUCKING YEARS.
Anyway, for $7.50, I bought a Mines of Mandalore Mando figure. This is the way.
