Yeah that price is diesel man I was like whaaaaatttt?!
Main draw here is the X-Wing. Had the TIE Advanced been retooled too, I think this would've been worth it.

Saw just one at the TRU I went too on my birthday, passed on it cause of the price too.
I'd just want the X-Wing out of the set if they'd release it individually......still hopefully this one will go to discounted price soon. |

It's a nice looking set, but I'm not a big enough Star Wars fan to even consider buying this. Even if the price was dropped a fair amount from what it is now.
I don't know about the AT-ST, or these, but I'm pretty sure the AT-AT was a completely new sculpt.

This mold was later retooled sans electronics and with space for a pilot figure in 2002, the 1st TRU exclusive Dagobah X Wing. In 2004 it was repainted as Red Leader, in 06 as another Dagobah X Wing with swamp vines and monster and in 09 or 10 as Wedge's X Wing. This new Red 5 is further retooled.

What would you say it cost to manufacture this set? Keep that in mind before you go out and spend your hard earned money on this.

We could also look at it like this, using TRU prices(or close): R2D2 $10 Vader $10 Luke $10 TIE Advanced $30 X Wing $40 I'm pretty sure that X Wing would be more than $40 if sold on its own. The Dagobah 2002 X Wing was $40 in 2002, I think same with Red Leader. The 2006 Dagobah one was $45, and Wedge's was $50 iirc. This new one has been retooled quite a bit and that's reason enough for TRU to charge more.

I think I saw a case of these sitting in BoH Friday night. I'm somewhat tempted to pick it up around the holidays- loves me some X-wing.

At these prices I am very glad that I don't collect SW any more! They are insane to ask that much for these "retooled" ships!

Cool, price doesn't look too bad, but then in Canada, everything costs more.
