While checking out my local Target this morning I ran into the several new Lego Star Wars sets been reset after the aisle’s decimation during the holidays:
For all you Rebel Pilot fanatics, Toys”R”us is offering these up for pre-order online, with a special Buy 2 Get 1 Free Promotion. That’s a pretty tough price to pass up, but remember this is an online promotion only. Thanks to our forum members for the heads up!
Our friends at Sandtroopers.com have posted a nice box shot of the upcoming Jedi Turbo Speeder that was announced at CV. March on over to check it out!
In case you’re debating about whether or not to hit stores this morning – braving the onslaught of other deal seekers – maybe this will help. Target is offering up to 50% off their latest exclusives. Look for discounts of the ESB 9-pack, Clone Wars 2-packs, Mini Muggs and more!
Various e-tailers have posted the case breakout for the upcoming wave 5 for the Vintage Collection:
1x Anakin Skywalker
1x General Grievous with Cape
1x Sandtrooper
1x Yoda
1x Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight)
1x Clone Trooper
1x Luke Skywalker (Ep IV)
1x R5-D4 (Ep IV)
1x Stormtrooper
1x Han Solo (EP IV)
1x Clone Commander Gree
1x Darth Vader
As you can see, this wave doubles-up on a lot of character/figures (2 different Lukes, 2 different clones, 2 different stormtroopers, etc.) but most interesting is that Yoda as found a new home with this wave. Wedge on the other hand is still M.I.A.

While major retailers like Target and Walmart are offering season low prices ($6.00 in most locations) for their Star Wars figures, Toys”R”Us is acting as “The Grinch” and has actually RAISED their already exorbitant prices on the Vintage figures to a jaw-dropping $10.99 each and the Legacy, Saga Legends and Clone Wars figures to $8.49 each.
Bah! Humbug!
UPDATE: ToysRUs is pulling a fast one here. There is a sale coming up this weekend: Vintage “On Sale” for $7.99 and CW and Legends “2 for $9.99” again. FAIL.
