I was amazed to see vendors trying to sell some of the Five Below/Ross waves for $18 or above.
Same thing at the toy show in Monroeville, PA. All the near by Five Belows were cleaned out of every figure and they were asking $15-25 each. I couldn't help but giggle to myself, knowing I didn't have to waste money on that since I'm from an hour away from there and got lucky a week prior, but felt bad for collectors who haven't been so lucky and paid that.
Today, I got a 6" Stormtrooper for $14 at TRU. I've been really good so far, and only planned to buy my top five figures if they were to get made (Maul, Fett, black suit Luke, Grevious and Kit Fisto)...I was doing so well until that sale happened and I couldn't help myself.
Also found two Dark Elves at Ollie's for $6 each. And two each of the Cobra Combat Ninja and CG at Five Below--first I've run into them at Five Below. Oh, and an Ultimate Roadblock, because I'm apparently a child and lost some of his accessories sometime in the past month. This store had just put out three full cases of that wave.
