Forums around the internet are abuzz regarding the leak of a previously rumored Dagobah Luke image today. As you can see, this version is a slight modification of the Snowspeeder Luke from the TLC line this time he features a new head, arms/hands and holster. Look for this figure to be included in wave 6 (2011 wave 3) of the Vintage Collection later this year.
Target is always good about marking down old product – but $12.48 for the Vintage 9-pk? That’s what I found this evening at a local St. Louis Target. It was marked $34.98, but scanned at 75% off already. So even if you see these marked for 30% or 50% off, be sure to scan them because you could be in for a nice surprise!
