Good thing I grabbed what they had, then.

I think those "lightsabers" are supposed to be SF-katanas or
some such. *Not* to my taste, but...
 
I think Attactix (Aurora, CO) had some Elites in the clearance
bin. I don't have their email address, but I think at least
one of them frequents rec.games.miniatures.misc; you could
probably contact them there and get them to check.

Sorry about that... I noticed that I was late for work, got
distracted, and posted without completing my sentence.
 
...'Course, I also grab various non-discounted pieces that
strike my fancy. I picked up some Silent Death minis (discounted)
at Genghis Con to use in DSII:
   o  0652 "Equalizer" (3 pcs) as a class 2 or 3 VTOL transport
   o  0611 "Pit Viper" (3 pcs) as a class 2 aerospace fighter
   o  0658 "Bat" (2 pcs) as a class 3 aerospace fighter or dropship
