If I could get a Flagg for $100 or even $200 I'd be ALLLL over it.  

And I see what you mean with the slippery slope of buying crap.  After considering the AT-AT I started looking across the 'Net at other Star Wars crap.  Getting into that again is the LAST thing I need.

Getting into that crap will have your credit card max out, and then it's going to take you another 10 years to pay back your debt before you can start to save for a FLAGG.

"To know of the existence of a trap is the start of learning to avoid it." And this is not a quote from Star Wars.

I've seen it twice now and looked over it thoroughly and I'm SO TEMPTED.  Gaaahhhh it's so badass and I always wanted one as a kid but gaaaaaahhhh it's $89.  And I don't have a Star Wars collection, nor do I want one other than that new Vader.

Olyeller....hear me....hear me! Don't give in to the Dark Side of buying. That leads to buying crap, and buying crap leads to collecting a shitload of more crap and making Lucas richer so that he can continue force shoving more crap at us.

Get a Flagg instead!  :wink:



Well its not about more crap merchandising...

If we buy Star wars toys... we will give lucas money to make another gay star wars spinoff .....

The original trilogy : The iconic good vs evil some good story and awesome vehicles

The prequels: Jar Jar , natalie portman wearing weird junk , emo christensen , and all that jedi crap nobody but 5 year olds like

I've finally ran across one of these at the local Walmart, and it's impressive.  This and the new Snowspeeder are very tempting (Empire Strikes Back is my favorite movie) and possibly the best versions they'll ever make.  I'll pass though, I just don't have the same passion for any Star Wars toys that I have for G.I. Joes.

What was REALLY sweet was TRU here has it in a vintage-style box that just looks wonderful.  But for $109 I think I'll save the $20 and get it at Target.  Eventually, anyway.

I saw it at Walmart last night.  I have always wanted an AT-AT, but I declined.  It would look sweet with a bunch of Snow Serpents jumping out of it.

But I am still kicking myself that I never picked up the Millenium Falcon (favorite Star Wars vehicle of all time)

I still want the BMF too.  I looked for a discounted Turbo Tank for my kids with no luck.

I actually had the AT-AT in my cart yesterday at WM.  I was hoping they would honour the Zellers 30% promo, but I knew they don't honour promos with percentages - but I had to try.

Don't forget - Sears always has 10% off coupons at their pick-up centres.

Love the falcon (my son does too). 
I have had the AT-AT in the cart twice, but both times realized it is more of a christmas present than a "hey we should buy something cool" item.

Can't wait till Dec. 25th!

Wait...so the one at WM in the blue box with the snow speeder is the EXACT same one that is in the vintage style box at TRU?

Thought the TRU one was more like the original AT-AT and the WM one was the updated version similer to the Falcon from a few years back.
