Found these bad boys today at TRU!

Very nice. I've been holding out on that AT-AT with hopes of finding the Vintage boxed version. I hope I see it soon. That thing looks badass.

How much was TRU selling the AT-AT for? The only other place I've seen it is for $100 at K-Mart (which has CW-style packaging). I would really prefer the Vintage exclusive, given a choice, but price may be an issue.

Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Vintage AT-AT - Hasbro - Toys "R" Us

Looks to be the same as the regular one.

TRU has there AT-AT for $110. Really only ten bucks more for the vintage box, That's only at TRU.

Is there any difference between them other than the art work on the box? Can't remember if I read anything pertaining to that.

No. They're the same. The box is the only difference. It's kind of crappy that TRU has the AT-AT for $110 now. The first week it came out it was $100. Then it was on sale for $90 for a week, then went up to $110. Why? Everywhere else has it for $100.

Hmmm I wonder is the UPC the same?

Yeah, that's weak of TRU. Maybe its to cut back on the confusion of the two of them. So people don't go "Why is one 100 and the other 110". Maybe? It is easier for me to justify the extra ten bucks for the sweet a$$ box and it being only at TRU.

The regular version is $110. I haven't seen the vintage one at retail yet but I would assume, and hope, that it is the same price.

@ jamesmruddy, are the prices the same on the TRU website? I'm too lazy to go look.

I wonder how long they'll keep it at that price? That's kind of weak that TRU is $10 more.

Toys R Us strives for having the worst prices.

"If we have it, give us more money."

ludovicotek · 08-28-2010, 10:06 AM

I just don't understand why it was $100 the first week it came out and then after it was on sale they jacked up the price a little.

trebleshot · 08-31-2010, 06:41 AM

TRU has always been a little more expensive than Wal-Mart or Target, especially when it comes to exclusives. The yo-yo pricing is probably due to what was supposed to be an initial sale, then back to "regular" price.

K-Mart is also notorious for charging about 10% more at retail than WM or Target (then having 10% off "sales"

).
