Any chance of previous exclusives getting re-released?

Question

Just started picking some of these up to supplement my Bandai model kits- really hoping to snag a Clone Wars Ahsoka but saw it was Wal-Mart exclusive and currently going for $45-90 on different resale sites... If there's a chance I can just be patient and grab it for retail price in a year or so I would gladly do that, but if it's only going to get more expensive I may just bite the bullet and pick one up

Thanks!

That specific one probably not. But some exclusives do get rereleases.

Yeah sometimes if you are patient they do, but you just never know. If you can afford it and its reasonable I don't think thats a bad thing.

I'm sure I overpaid a bit, but for my favorite character from my favorite series I consider it worth it! Now to pick up an aftermarket kit to get her leg/arm armor more accurate...

I think pretty much every major character will be re-released over a long enough timeline. It just depends on how long you are willing to wait.

Exactly my thoughts.

It is possible. Previous Walmart exclusives have been re-released. Battlefront Shocktrooper was a Walmart exclusive that got rereleased at GameStop. Regular Shore trooper was a Walmart exclusive that got rereleased as an archive figure.

With the Shock Trooper, it was a case of Walmart not shipping and selling their run. The figure I bought at GameStop in 2019 has a 2015 production code on it. GameStop picked up unsold merchandise; they also had the Disney-exclusive deluxe Stormtrooper about the same time.

If you are an opener you can try and get a loose one off eBay/FB Marketplace for less than sealed. Just make sure accessories are included, ask the seller for detailed pics and if there are any loose joints/other problems with the fig beforehand.
