It appears that GameStop has bumped the price of the mainline figures (PFP wave and later) and the ROTJ40 figures to $26.99 each. With prices of exclusives already at $28.99, we’ll be offered basic figure repaints for $30+ before the year is over — if they can move the glut of peg warming Gaming Greats that is.
Hasbro Dialing Back Preorders in 2023
Hasbro has issued a statement regarding future preorders and product releases. I think this is a good thing until release dates, distribution and fulfillment of existing preorders (in the past there have sometimes been near 100 outstanding preorders) can be sorted out.
