It’s a little hidden. For whatever reason, it doesn’t show up when searching on Amazon, only through Google searches.
CamelCamelCamel shows that the Imperial Raider has been holding at $89 since mid february and it has recently dropped down to $76 (15% drop). It seems that around the holiday season it's price wildly fluctuates from around $80 to as low as $54, but $76 seems like its lowest between-holidays price.
Miniature Market: $85
CoolStuffInc: $85
This isn't by any measure the lowest this ship will get, but if you're hoping to get it in the next 6 months or so this might be the lowest price you'll find.
Not commenting on its playability in epic (as I don't play epic) the Imperial Raider offers the following for the X-Wing player: New Tie Advanced Pilots, four of the TIE/x1 title card, and the almighty Emperor Palpatine.
If you have no interest in playing Imperial then this ship offers nothing to you, and if you're interested in only playing competitively it doesn't offer much on that front either. Vader w/ TIE/x1 has been out of favor in the meta for a while now with the popularity of stress control and Emperor Palpatine was hit pretty hard with a nerf some time back. However Emperor Palpatine and Vader still do have their places in competitive lists occasionally and both are fantastic in casual play.
If you're wanting to fly the TIE Advanced and / or utilize a Palpmobile with the Epsilon / Upsilon shuttle and you're wanting to do it soon then this is a decent discount at $10 off the MM / CSI prices. However if you're not in a rush then I'd wait for the holiday / Black Friday season where you can get this for much, much cheaper.
In all seriousness, the deal on the Imperial Raider is pretty good.
The Lambda Shuttle, Slave 1, Millenium Flacon, Outrider, Blockade Runner, and Imperial Raider (Bigger imperial ship with Tie Fighter looking bits) are all from the X-Wing Miniatures Game.
The Imperial Class and smaller Victory Class Star Destroyers are from Star Wars Armada.
Executor is from an old game, I believe it was called Star Wars Battles.
I also just ordered the Rebel Transport from X-Wing, and the Nebulon B Frigate and Home One from Armada.
(After typing everything I decided to be nice and include amazon links to all of them)
