 You have NO idea the difficulty I'm having finding this figure in stores. A couple months ago I found one, but didn't buy it because I didn't really think I wanted it. Now I know how scarce these have become, and wish I had gotten it back then. Has anybody been able to find them in stores? I can get one online but they're selling for anywhere from 20-50 bucks, and I'm not paying that. I grabbed a Destroyer Droid today just because I thought it looked cool, but really want to get my hands on Boba. If anyone finds an extra, let me know, I'd be willing to buy it and pay for shipping!

Holy carp, $20-50? I've seen about 5 so far in the last 2 weeks, wish I had known they were that expensive. I bought myself one automatically when I first saw it a month or two ago. If I see one (which likely will mean I won't now, knowing my luck) I'll let you know.

He was the first of the 2010 vintage figures I got. Though I don't recall seeing him on store shelves lately as they've already moved onto the next wave.
Though If you really want a vintage Boba, you could make use of the special offer for the Prototype Boba Fett replica, but it requires opening the figures....

I actually bought, on eBay, 5 UPCs and the order form, so I'm good for the Mail-away Boba. =)

Found the guy selling that...so tempted to get that. I have 5 Vintage figures but I've been weary about opening them. I love buying toys but find out I get bored playing with them after awhile (looking at you, 2009 GI Joe movie toys). This would be perfect, and only $8. Hmmm...

I'll keep my eyes open on my next toy run tomorrow. I collect all the action figures, so am in the stores all the time. Local shops have quite a few of the Vintage warming pegs, but not sure if Fett is one of them of hand. The mail away figure is much more fun for nostalgia's sake, IMO. He looks very close to the original, slightly larger, and with a firing rocket. Also has a non-firing one for display purposes. Hadn't gotten the Vintage Fett since he was a repack and I'm an opener.

I saw a bunch of them at a Toys R Us outlet store last weekend. If you have one in your neck of the woods, I'd check there. I picked up a Vader and a Sandtrooper - was going to get my Boba via mail-in

I checked Toys R Us in the area and no luck. Checked Wal-Mart today though, and found Darth Maul, so I thought that was pretty cool. Still looking for Boba, though. =(

I have one of these Bobas I'd part with. PM me with offers. I'd be willing to trade for him as well. ;)
