I have a telepod for each character on the list except for the new 2-Series characters of Kit Fisto Bird and Shock Trooper Pig. These two are going to be released in the two pack sets but have not seen them in the stores nor on Ebay. Dr. Omega mentioned that he also read this on Facebook in a response from Rovio. The other six 2-Series characters have been released in a set called Rebels vs Villains which includes Jabba the Hutt Pig, Lando Calrissian Bird, Wicket W.Warrick Bird, Royal Guard Pig, Tusken Raider Pig and Han Solo Bird (in Carbonite). The RvsV sets are selling from $10.00-40.00 on Ebay, depending on the bidding process. Caution to all: do not get these new telepods mixed up with Series-2 toys. These are not telepods. Rovio and Hasbro placed the “2” before the word “Series” on the telepod toys. Most sellers on Ebay will mention a Series 2 toy is not a telepod.

I do not have any extras of the 4 exclusive telepods (C-3PO Bird silver, Battle Droid pig, Shadow Trooper pig and Emperor Palatine Pig) that came in the Heroes vs Villains set. That set sold for at least $29.99 retail plus tax (7-9% where I live). It also costs at least $10.00-15.00 to ship USPS due to its size. Given $10-40 in gas a person may have used to find it in the store, etc., one for 60.00-80.00 with free shipping might be reasonable. There is one for sale on ebay presently for $75.00 with free shipping. These sets are becoming harder to find as the weeks go by. Yes I have seen them online for sale at Toys or Us in Canada but there are some problems getting TuR to ship them to the states.
There is a vendor from Britain who sells these telepods separately for 10-16.00 US each plus shipping but have not noticed his listings in the last two weeks.
I paid $39.99 plus $10.00 in shipping for mine back on 1/5/14 but there were many posted on ebay at that time and it was competitive pricing. For some a 5-10 profit was acceptable. I think now, a month later it is a different story.
My suggestion is to type in a search on ebay for these sets and save the search. Check the search each day and you might get lucky. Make searches for each of the four telepods you are looking for also as well as the set.
