I suspect it's probably due to this particular person, who keeps a good relation with the toy department staff, and thus able to put aside some of the more popular figures.......
On the other hand, there was once when I happened to be there when Toysrus/Hasbro were stocking up the figures, and there were lots of the clones figures!

That is possible...but if unless they can get a discount on them too...if not at the whopping $17.90 that we get from retail, I find it really funny that they went to all the trouble to earn a measly $2-$5? Like that also shiok ah? haha

another gunship to collect , think this gunship will cost 120 from the usual 99.90, frankly i still think the clone war gunship is still the rarest to find

Hmm TRU Exclusive. Probably reach here. Cost. I estimate it at $150 and they will not last 2 days on the shelf
After all these years, I still love Clones
