Now that Christmas this year has passed, what you see on the shelves at retail is a good indicator of how well Hasbro’s AT-AT sold this year.
We’re curious to hear how this thing sold in everyone’s neck of the woods. We invite you all to share your reports after the jump!
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!
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.
Our pals at Jedi Temple Archives have revealed Sideshow’s plans for 12″ scale Cantina Band Member(s) in their 2011 Product Calendar. Head over to JTA for a closer look-see.
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.
Amazon.com is now listing the TLC Milllennium Falcon for the low price of $89.99. Not a bad price.
ToysRUs.com has updated their site to include 6 new LEGO Star Wars Sets:
Clone Trooper Battle Pack (7913)
Mandalorian Battle Pack (7914)
Imperial V-wing Starfighter (7915)
The Battle of Naboo (7929)
Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship (7930)
T-6 Jedi Shuttle (7931)
Sideshow Collectibles has updated tonight and is now taking pre-orders for the & Jabba’s Palace Environment Archway. Reserve yours today!
If you have passed up to this point on the Target Exclusive Vintage 9pk, you might want to cruise your aisles again. A local MN collector friend, “JediMoses”, has found this on Temporary Price Reduction to a very attractive $35.99. This is a localized markdown and not all Target are observing this price but if your store had an ample supply of these you might want to visit (or at least call) to check. DPCI: 087-06-1620
