The prices being charged by scalpers seem shocking in some cases, and yet, the market sets the price! I can't help speculating that some collectors must have more money than sense. We're talking about little mass-produced plastic toys, not the Hope Diamond. Anyway...

If product authenticity is your priority, and you don't want to take out a mortgage, my suggestion is to sit tight and wait for a re-release. Hasbro is cranking out a fresh batch of Darth Vaders: ToyArk sponsors posted pre-orders for them earlier this month. Expect more re-releases soon.

If you're willing to accept something that might turn out to be substandard or a bootleg, you can check the listings at AliExpress.com - Online Shopping from China. I haven't ordered toys, but I have ordered lots of other stuff and never had any problem. (They're fantastic for cheap bike accessories.) At a glance, I see half a dozen Darth Maul figures selling loose for US$17-18. Be prepared to wait a while if you select Free Shipping at check-out. And again, don't be surprised if they aren't up to the usual standard. Caveat emptor.
