Good luck ever seeing them in the pegs. I buy for my kids and the pegs have had nothing but tfa Rey and snoke for years. The boys don?t even want to bother going to the toy isle, they know it will be desolation.
As a overseas collector, i've had to rely on the internet for 20 years in order to get my fix. With the plethora of deals both at etailers and on Ebay i mostly managed to get figures at fair prices until recently.
For the last few years, lack of figures turning up at brick and mortar reduced options and i'm now having a hard time balancing shipping costs into the equation. Hardly getting TVC under $18/piece shipped unless i wanna gamble on a possible clearance at a later stage.

At least this U.S.-er has joined u in relying on the 'net. We lost Toys-R-Us, my local Targets seem to have a pretty small toy selection and are ALWAYS poorly stocked. I live in an urban area yet. So in theory I could wander from store to store, facing the *&^%$ traffic.
I'd rather buy off the peg - in theory being able to look item over since I unbox. Fortunately reliable e-bay sellers and Amazon have come thru. I justify extra cost in NOT having to spend travelling and time. Also Amazon time to time has had flash deals which helps.
online ordering is your friend......
Ebay used to be my first stop. Lots of good sellers there. Now, its a whole other story. Far fewer people selling overseas and outrageous Ebay fees with their international shipping system. Glad i can still rely on a couple premium US based etailers (Dorkside Toys and BBTS). Also ordering from UK based etailers offering roughly the same prices and service but i'm afraid those days are overwith Brexit taking effect in the coming days.
Amazon, i 'm avoiding at all cost. First, selection available in my country is ridiculously weak and prices are outright insulting ($30 to $40 for a 3"75 at best). Then, collecting both carded and loose, i've already had a few bad experiences with their packing.
The face sculpt on Cara Dune is unbelievable at that scale.
Am sorry to hear that as am an Amazon fan. Tho it was weird IMO learning Amazon Germany etc. I would have to have a separate account from Amazon U.S. Suppose Amazon France would be the same for me. Also luv Amazon easy returns (at least here in urban areas where u can just drop at Amazon store).
IMO no excuse for the prices u are quoting tho.
