You can find Exo-force on ebay as well at times. That was where I found my Sentry still in sealed in the pack.

You would be surprised how outdated shit hungarian toystores have. I know a place where you can buy this walker and the sentai fortress too. For the same goddamn price when it was new.

Obviously bad. Lego sets usually decrease in price when they get older so stores can clear out their inventory.

What Gungnir says. If I were the shop owner, I'd put 50-75% price redux just take the shelfwarmers away.
Meh, they'd send it back before considering that. Toyshops are horrificly stupid here.

I usually see discontinued sets being sold for more.

There's this one store in Toronto that sells pretty old stuff, Exo-Force, Life on Mars, Aquaraiders... I got the big aquaraiders base there a while ago. great set.

It was old stock, I got it from a Toyworld store (not sure if you have those in the US). It was hiding up the back with a couple other exo-force sets, the box was pretty beaten up. The set is ok, not as poseable as I thought it would be, but is still cool.

Heh. "You will now face the full power of the Empire!"
Darth also bought a set of Mandos, who all had the freaky clone head on them. Which is weird, since mandos aren't clones. We decided to give them new heads.
[I swear to God, the clone head gets weirder every season.
