They’re on sale for a reason. But who knows, collectors don’t care about aesthetics when they’re eventually retired anyway. Depends on how long you’re willing to lock up your cash on inventory.

Besides a few sets, like Slave 1, I’m avoiding much of star wars.

Looks like the discount maxes at $24

Got it...discount has an item limit, not dollar limit

But what's the likelihood that Rathtar will remain that far under RRP after it retires? At 55% off, what's the worst case scenario?

Opportunity cost. Time money space being limited. Also targets tolerance for large orders. I'd rather get my orders cancelled attempting to land a sizeable chunk of items I view as very profitable. Versus a pile of bricks I can flip for 10-30$ without much perceived upside past that.

Sure, but 30x100 is still $3000

Part it out will make more than the cost. More work but little risk.

Makes a nice gift to your kids bratty friends if they get out of line.

You are left with a garage full of Rathtars. The main issue I had with the set is the Rathtar could have been a unique molded figure instead of a pile of bricks.

I’m not sure if these were in-stock?

In the time I've been on hold with Target fraud/audit department to authorize charges, I've placed two orders on my phone with another card for local pickup - and one of them is already for pickup!

blast from the past.  maybe this works from a parting out perspective.  50% off the going amazon fba rate.  i'll pass anyway - have at it - there's 37 available.

Anyone arguing for parting out and buying all the crappy SW sets should buy this too.
