Looks like this retailer took the extra mile to solve the 'falling off of the plastic bubble' problem. They cellophane-taped the packaging all over! Some of you may get really annoyed about this but it doesn't really bother me much as I'm planning to rip it open anyway. Mara deserves to stand next to Luke in my display!
I was really distraught by the prospect of having to pay for the whole set of figures (them specialty stores even paired BOTH wave 1 & 2 together in a set!) just to get Mara. She's the only one I've ever wanted from Wave 2 really. Scouring over eVilbay didn't help either as most scalpers are asking the sky for her. All that's left over at my local TRUs (I went to several yesterday) were the ones collectors don't really care about i.e. R2s and in some cases the Prequel Jedis. I took a stroll at the toy section at a retail complex near my office today and there she was.....just sitting pretty in between Ani and a couple of Luminaras. Mind-blowing really.....does it mean that people in this part of town don't really care about Mara Jade?! Their loss...my gain. Woot!
By the way, RM42.90 is approximately $13 for youse in the States. You guys are probably gonna find her for less than 10 bucks in most parts but for me it's a small price to pay really. It saved me from paying some ludicrous amount on eVilbay.
