Heck of a deal at Sideshow. Ignore, deal is different

These are prime examples of over produced products , that relied on successful films....

That flopped .

Or in Boba Two Pack's case, a beloved character from a successful show that was subsequently ruined by his own spinoff show.
Had there been no Book of Boba Fett, they probably would've sold better

Yeah, I’m happy for all those who wanted these figures and never got them and now can get them for free but it currently devalues them completely for those who paid the price which is sad which is why I’m more selective than ever.

That could be said for 99% of 1/6th figures.

Few old figures are worth anything. For the most part, the figures I most regret buying are anything Disney nuStar Wars (except RO).

I am amazed that I still see TFA figs (especially Finn and various troopers) in stock at certain retailers nine years after the movie came out. They are some of handful of 1/6 figs I've seen selling in the $100 range on ebay. The ship does seem to be sailing on D+ series figs including Mando, but that's because there's so many D+ series and so many figs.

It does seem that the OT figs have held up well in most cases - even SSC - even if the two most recent HT Lukes (Snowpseeder and to a lesser degree Bespin Luke) significantly upended that.

I've noticed a few HT Vaders coming down quite a bit in price too, but HT has now done soo many Vaders that was inevitable given most people don't care about the movie-to-movie variations and just want a Vader.

Or they just were accustomed to people having covid money and when that stopped, they realized they ****** up royally by over stocking.

That would be the real kicker.

People lamenting on Sideshow's Facebook about the change of free figures are invariably met with responses from the typical Sideshow simps saying that Sideshow needn't give away free figures at all.

I mean, they're not wrong!

Although to swap it up random before the day is over is definitely a Richard-move... unless they sold out. I probably won't buy anything on this set of "Unsellables" unless they go higher than 40+% off and free shipping.
