Target Insider Info
We got a scoop from our anonymous Target source this evening, and it reinforces some recent rumor reports. If you're a fan of Star Wars (and G.I. Joe), you'll want to read on to get the news. Lots of new numbers, and you read them here first on Jedi Defender!
StarWars
- 087-06-0106 RC Droid $16.99
- 087-06-0165 SW Marbles $3.99
- 087-06-0303 SW Fig Vehicle $15.99
- 087-06-0324 SW Deluxe Vehicle $64.99
- 087-06-0327 SW RC R2D2 6in $24.99
- 087-06-0634 SW Fig Geonosis Arena Pk $12.99
- 087-06-0635 SW GH Playset Hero Set $39.99
- 087-06-0538 SW Turbo Tank $99.99!
G.I. Joe
Pit Headquarters $99.99 (More Joe news soon hopefully)
So what do we have? Well Joe fans get a playset in 2009, and at a hefty pricetag to boot. Maybe more to come on that front soon!
Star Wars fans though are looking at a lot of goodies in 2009, some recently rumored and given a bit of credence by these computer listings. The Turbo Tank (It's a Juggernaught dang it!) is chiming in at $99.99 so one can assume it's at least comparable to the AT-TE in size and scope.
Likewise, this list seems to confirm that, instead of Order 66, we're getting Geonosis 2-packs. This seems to confirm where a lot of those Jedi Prototypes we've seen for the past several weeks here at Jedi Defender and elsewhere are going to wind up. The question is; what will they come with? Youngling pack-ins? Battledroids? That remains to be seen!
Other unknowns are just what these RC vehicles could be that are showing up. Hasbro's UK Toy Fair program mentions a BARC Speeder and Droid Gunship, but who knows what's up with these. Other items listed could be anything from Transformers to maybe different sized vehicles for the basic line, so we'll just have to wait and see!
Many, many thanks go out to our Target Source for the info. It certainly sheds some light on things, and raises yet more questions!
