last year they were harder to find, but this year it has been a little easier. i found 2 in one store and just the other day, i found 7 at one store (3 r2d2, 3 mace Windu, and 1 Galactic Trooper). Larkin and I had went looking for diecast and after he was talking to an associate, he turned the corner to ee me holding all of them, lol. i ended up putting them all back but that would have been the mother load if i was in it for resale.
as far as price goes....its hit and miss. on a normal you could get usually a couple of bucks out of it. then again if it is a newer release before everyone else gets it, im guessing you could get alot out of it.
