Only @ Target @ Toysrus
« on: July 26, 2006, 01:53:59 PM »
I was at the TRU at 427 and the QEW today, and the weird thing was they had only 1 - Target exclusive Snow Speeder.

I would have put this in the sightings section, just I thought this was really weird.  If this was a returned product, why would any TRU employee take this back? it has a HUGE Only @ Target logo printed right on the front of the box?
If this was shipped to the TRU in Canada, why would the Only @ Target logo be on the box?  Very strange.  It also didn't ring in on the price scanner.
Since I am in the process of moving, I had to pass on this one, so it is still there for anyone else who might be interested.

Is this the one with Zev?
Oh man...if only I wasn't tired enough to ride my car to Etobicoke. But I'm sure it's already been picked up by someone else.

That is the one, I couldn't really believe that it was at ToysRus in Canada.
Still doesn't make sense in my brain.

According to Rebelscum, it's a common thing to find the new Snowspeeder at the TRUs in Canada. Hopefully I'll find one in the TRU on HWY10.

Wish I could have gotten my Luke and Skiff - I hunted in every Target I could on my way to Florida when that thing was released - either the target was sold out, or hand't received any yet.

I Also think it is funny that they have the Target exclusive but not the TRU AT AT.

I read somewhere that TRU AT-AT will arrive in the fall. I'm still waiting for the TIE Fighter exclusive with the expanded wings.
Some Ebay auctions have it saying the TIE Fighter is a Target excluive, but when it was displayed at SDCC, it said it's a TRU exclusive. Hasbro, make up your mind on exclusives.

I saw the Endor AT-AT, and the large size Dagobah X-Wing at TRU this week.  I think the AT-AT was $89.99, wich considering I think I paid almost that 5 or 6 years ago when the first version was released.  I didn't see the price of the X-Wing.  They only had 1 of each and about 5 of the Snow Speeders.
