I was at my dad's comic shop today and i happened to be browsing through there star wars collections. They had the McQuarrie Boba Fett and Chewbacca each for 20 dollars. Now my father gets a 20% discount bringing the total of the figures to 16 and change. Is this a good price for these two figures?

16 sounds pretty good. I'd do it.
But then again, that's me.

it would save you the trouble of fighting with scalpers trying to get the figures. I'd go for it.

I'm cheap and patient. I have a problem paying "exclusive" prices for "retail" figures. I'd wait.

I got lucky on these, I guess. I found Boba in the local supermarket and Chewie is a shelfwarmer in the local Woolies so I paid retail price for both.

Unless you live in Colorado. If you do send me a pm, I'll hook you up for retail on Chewie. I hate having to see people pay premium prices for stuff like that.

a Wal-Mart in kentucky has all Star Wars figs $2.00. There were several Mcfetts and McChewies.
I'll never buy another SW fig for more than $2.00

only $2! That's great! At that price I might just have to travel to the other side of the country to get my figures!

I never pay much more than retail for new figures. In fact, I can't think of a time when I have. I did pay $7 for the McChewie coin alone...but I didn't really want the figure anyway, so I would have paid that much in the store and thrown the figure aside anyway.
I will only occasionally pay more than retail for older figures, and never much more than $10.

That's a bad price. Star Wars figures are typically 5-6 dollars. I'd never spend more than $10.00 on a Star Wars basic figure.

This Wal-Mart put the older Saga Figs on clearance before the reset, but their computer system has ALL Star Wars figs at $2.00!
The tags say SAGA FIGS $2
And the TAC figs say: SW 30 ann $6.69
But they all scan at $2.

The same thing happened to my Wal*Mart last year when the Saga re-paints were out. I wasn't orignally planing on buying them but when they rang up at $2, I pretty well cleaned them out.
