To be fair, they did make two different sets

There are sets being sold through third party sellers on Amazon. Downside is, the cheapest set is $68.50. Yikes!

Seems to be closer to a year or two on store shelves for each. Things over $100 seem to be a little more, maybe 2-3 years.

"Once announced, it normally takes about six months for us to design the final set and box, create building instructions, produce it in the factory, ship the sets to distribution centers around the world, and have them available on the shelves to buy, however we cannot guarantee product launch timeframes."

Yes many sets get multiple runs, mostly the bigger ones. You are 100% correct on Han and Obiwan's eyes for example. I was wrong about that.

But like I said, the small ones ($10-20) can really shoot up sometimes, and never seem to get multiple runs.

These were everywhere for months.....and now......

My larger point remains, if Nintendo pushes forward with new amiibo lines, these current lines could be planned as a short term run, not something being constantly produced. Therefore, they could actually shoot up quite a bit when they are no longer available, even what we now consider commons.

But Supply and Demand are very hard things to predict, hence the situation we find ourselves in now with said amiibo.

That X-Men one sounds awesome! I might check that out. I've also been a fan of The Lord of the Rings so I'll check that out also.

EDIT: Just looked at the X-Men one. I think I might get that one or the Fierce Flyer.
