New Vintage Collection vehicles in TRU

[db94]

Well some of the TRU stores have finally got the latest wave of ships in (no sign of Slave1 yet though) but bloody hell they are expensive

X Wing which going by pictures looks pretty amazing out of the box, no worries about the initial concerns that the colouring was a bit "pastel" it looks the business with some really nice weathering, but and it's a bloody big but...........£79!!!! Really thought this was going to come in at £30 similar to the Y Wing

Tie Interceptor is £49 which again is about a tenner too much

So I'm guessing Slave1 will be £100 plus!

Pretty pissed off as I was planning picking all 3 up but might have to wait until TRU are running a decent promotion - buy 1 get 50% off second purchase kinda thing.

Has to be said though - they do look good and I would be pretty chuffed to find any of them under the tree on Xmas morning

I must admit they look awesome but I agree the prices are a little OTT

Slave 1 is on my Xmas list.... But I have just puked over these prices... I hate the $1 = £1 pricing that Hasbro Uk seems to adopt over here.

 

[db94]

TRU USA price for X Wing $59!
We're paying over twice that amount, really can't see my picking this up anytime soon now

Another case of the UK buyer being screwed over.

TRU now have the TIE and X Wing at £49.00 still too much for the Interceptor (but I cracked and bought it) and the X Wing was out of stock. I can order it online but for that money (for modern) I need to walk into the shop and see it on the shelf in a perfect box

the xwing looks nice, but still to much i think, i just bought myself a tie fighter on ebay, see if the xwing comes down a bit more

 

[db94]

Yep I think I'll wait for a 20% voucher before I go for it, just love the vintage style box. Which TIE did you get?

 

[grinchy]

Not sure what version

cost me £26, need an x wing now to go with it

 

[db94]

Ah man that's a cracker - love the big winged versions, the really look the business
Yep treat yourself to a nice x wing, they'll look great together
TIE fighter is just so iconic, great pic up mate you must be chuffed.

 

[grinchy]

Yeah it looks the part, definately needs the x to go with it, one thing thats great about the modern stuff is how close they are getting to the filmning miniatures used in the movies.

 

[David Tree]

If it helps, we sell the Slave 1 for £75

 

[db94]

Ah mate - your post is just a wee bit late! Cracked and ordered it from the States just before Christmas, arrived yesterday

It looks so good in its white outer box I am seriously thinking of displaying as it is

Thanks anyway
