UPDATE: Slave I Price Drop on Amazon

Slave I

Jedi Temple Archives has altered collectors that Amazon’s Exclusive Slave I is on sale for only $69.99. There is no telling on how long this sale will last so get your orders in quickly.

UPDATE: It appears that this markdown is more of a price adjustment than sale as it no longer lists the original $99.99 pricepoint. For those that pre-ordered, you might want to check your order status to see if the adjustment was done there as well.

Our friends at Galactic Hunter have snapped a pic from Hasbro’s booth showing a placard for an exclusive Droid Factory set coming this November for $59.99. It looks to include many of the canceled Build-A-Droids and other from the defunct Droid Factory line. Jedi Temple Archives received word at Toy Fair from Hasbro that they were trying to get these figures to the public, so it’s nice to see it’s coming to fruition.

Update: According to Galactic Hunter, the retail partner for this set is Amazon.com
