Anyone but the new Vintage BMF? They're selling pretty well in my area, even the ones with the banged up boxes. $250 is a tough pill to swallow, but honestly, I thought about what I spend with Sideshow PF and Sixth scale figures and my love for Kenner packaging and it was a little easier spend, but not by much.:rolleyes:

My wife nixed spending $250 for a vehicle we already own. I was hoping a sale (or coupon) would soften her stance, but it's too late. All my stores have sold the 2 they were allotted.

Definitely not a vehicle to snooze on if you're interested.

If they do restock, TRU is printing 20% off 1 item coupons when you buy something this week. The coupon is good beginning 11/18.

Already bought one over a week ago. Considering its massive size and the slim likelihood of them restocking such a huge piece in large numbers, I wasn't going to take the chance of waiting for this to go on sale. I think anyone who wants it and is holding out hope for a clearance sale will be severely disappointed in the months to come when this piece has come and gone.

Now where's the Endor AT-AT??

Shabby, agreed. I dont think the Vintage BMF will linger too long. During one of my hunts, I've seen a mom buy it for her kid (lucky kid).

Good question on the AT-AT. The last time I checked, TRU.com Canada sold out. The UPC is not in TRU's system, so there's a good possibility that Hasbro may have bumped it? With a lot of the 2010 AT-ATs, Vintage BMF, and A LOT of sale Republic Attack Shuttles hogging up shelf space, maybe TRU decided they needed a Spring exclusive?

Such a huge box...and matching price tag. But I'm happy with the version I picked up a few years ago for $50.

Passed on both versions. My wife still complaines about the space my Queens Starship takes up.

I posted in store reports but I figure it was appropriate here as well...

If you are looking to purchase one...

I love the BMF...but it honestly takes up too much room. It was my last SW purchase (not counting the Star Speeder at Disney), and the only place that is viable to store it is standing up against the wall in my closet, behind my clothes. XD

Ok I bought three of the vintage TRU MF when they were on sale for 125 and free podracer thingy and free shipping! They sent one in a box directly from the factory which is awesome! The other two they put the shipping info directly on the box and just sent it...grrr....I hope they trade them out at TRU...

AWESOME toy at 125...

Am I tripping or are there two different size Vintage Milennium Falcons from TRU. It seems like the boxes in TRU arent so damn big...
