MTT Report: $39.99 at Marc’s Stores

6 Comments

If you were on the fence with the MTT, I’m not sure you could ask for a better deal than what Yakface reader Daniel C. is reporting finding at his local Marc’s store.  A stunning price of $39.99 each for this behemoth droid transport.

Personal Note:  I love this vehicle.  I realize it’s not for everyone, but I felt it was worth the full retail price and think it’s a shame to see what I consider to be Hasbro’s greatest item of 2012 be ignored by a lot of the community.  Sure, it’s from the worst Star Wars movie, but it’s still a killer toy and is the only Separatist related item that stacks up size-wise against all the clone trooper related vehicles Hasbro has produced.

Have a Toys”R”us Express in your area?

If you have a Toys”R”us Express store in your local mall (these open up in some areas for the holiday season), if may be worth your while to swing by and see if you can score any of last year’s harder to find vehicle assortment, which consists of the new sculpt of the Naboo Starfighter and the Kashyyyk Fighter Tank.  The price is right too, as each will only set you back about twenty bucks.  Good luck and happy hunting!

New Yakface Feature: The Concept Series

2 Comments

concept-series2

We are happy to announce a new feature – the Concept Series by forum moderator localgotal!

Our intent is to show off the amazing concept ideas that he has put together, and to encourage discussion on the direction we all want Hasbro to get back to… which is making more collector focused products… and showing how easy some of these can be, because Hasbro already has a lot of the tooling for these!

Each week when we have a new concept to show, localgotal will be posting it in the Concept and Mockups section of the Yakface Forums for your viewing pleasure.  Leading things off the first concept, the shadowy Arleil Schous from A New Hope!
