In the near future will we see 1.0 expansions on sale to sell out all the inventory?
1.0 stuff for cheaper?
I have seen it in My town for like 4 months

Amazon has allot of the 1.0 expansion packs on sale for a 20% mark down. Some of the LGSs were selling them at half off in the area I'm in (though an hour away, I live in a rural town so anything within an hour one way tends to be considered semi-local).
Probably, sales will occur organically to liquidate 1.0 without taking too much of a hit.
My FLGS had a nice discount on 1.0 ships if you buying a Conversion Kit that day.
On one hand I don't want my flgs to lose money, but I'm not going to buy any 1.0 product that isnt at least 50% off.
I was at a game show today and they were plenty of stalls selling v1 ships at retail price. £12 per ship.

I take it you haven't run into small vendors having large overhead so less able to mark down, or that "game show" vendors (much like any show vendor) tend to mark their offerings up a bit over going rate?
My FLGS had all first edition 50% with any second edition purchase.

Excuse me while i roll my eyes in exacerbation. Oh and they sold no Xwing v1 that day. If you like maybe i can dig out their contact details for you to buy their expensive v1 ships or maybe their V2 conversion kits at £48 each as it's clearly the right thing to do..

You missed my point by a parsec. Expecting vendors at any event to offer anything at a reduced price except for the last few hours of the last day of the event, and only then if you're lucky, is not wise. You can usually expect a 2%-3% mark up on the normal retail price at a minimum... Quite a bit higher if it is an item that is expected to be in high demand. You were complaining about event vendors, who range from "Mom and Pop's" narrow margin merchants to temporary store fronts run by temps hired by the larger companies, not reducing their prices to match what you think their product is worth. What your complaint shows me is that you really haven't been to many places like a "game show" but plenty of swap meets or flea markets and assumed they functioned the same.

I’m already seeing it online. I’ve picked up quite a bit in the last two months at discount.
