It was only a matter of time, but the Hasbro 6″ First Order Stormtrooper figure from The Force Awakens hit eBay recently courtesy of seller VipersKingdom. It is sold out now but that is likely to change based on past history. If you absolutely must have the figure now, bookmark the seller’s page and check back often.
Thanks to fellow Wolfpack Podcast team member Corey for the heads up.
UPDATE: It is back up now as an auction listing – current price $510.00
