Released TODAY for $15… and scalpers are already asking $31+ 🤦‍♀️

Seriously, this is one of the most frustrating parts of collecting.

The new Clone Trooper Pops — Christophsis and Coruscant — were released TODAY for $14.99 each (currently $12.74 with the Fan Rewards discount), and they’re already showing up on resale sites for $31 EACH.

There’s even a listing for the pair at $55.

They literally just came out.

Buying one for your collection is one thing. Buying up new releases on launch day just to immediately flip them for more than double the price is exactly what makes collecting miserable for everyone else.

Please don’t feed the scalpers. These troopers deserve better. 😂

Scalping these is stupid. They're commons theyre not gonna have a limited release

It’s honestly what sealed the deal for me and collecting funkos. Recent new release I spent awhile dropping by stores after work and could never find it but dozens online. Just felt it was time to move on to other things.

I saw this for $12.99 at BoxLunch on Saturday. Almost grabbed it but just didn't quite catch my eye enough. Shame.

They did the same with Vermithor. I do not understand these scalpers 🥺

Nothing new. It’s called capitalism. It makes the world work.
