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!
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!
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.
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
