Looks great, but kind of meh to me. Would rather Rex at this point.

Love the Gree but may pass if that's the price point.

Have we heard if that is the new price point across the board, or is that just the TRU exclusive overhead tax added in?  They haven't done this with their recent 6" exclusives.

I may eventually bite, but really don't have much interest in getting all different flavors of Clone Troopers, especially at $25 a pop.

Gamestop went with the $22.99 price point for R5-D4.  I'm not really happy about the higher price points for exclusives.  But I think that TRU may need the additional margins.  Especially since they're currently swimming in the Hovertank Troopers.

Transformers are having a price increase when the new movie stuff hits ($20 for Deluxes, $30 for Voyager) so it wouldn't surprise me if these went up too.

The survey should have been an indication that this was something Hasbro was working towards.  The questions led pretty much any survey participant to see that a price increase was in the cards.

I agree.  And reading comments on other sites about people would spend whatever just to get Star Wars toys.  Crazy

TRU has charged $19.99 for their last few exclusive 6 inch figures, or at least my local store has.

It's probably like the LEGO stuff  they sell - overpriced so they don't lose on the endless BOGO deals they offer.  :P

Gree before Rex seems odd to me too but whateves. I'm not all that big on the Clones anyway.

He should come with a removable head feature.  :D

6" Commander Gree in July ($24.99)

Something someone asked me this morning - is Gree going to be the TRU SDCC shared figure (like last year's Astromech 3-pack)?

Or does TRU still have something else planned for a SDCC debut exclusive this year?

Yes, not sure if there's another.
