Title: Wal-Mart Clone Wars Kit Fisto Jedi Starfighter
Post by: Jesse James on June 16, 2010, 04:09 PM
As the title says...  We got an image of the boxed set today.

Clicky to check it out!

I never picked up the original Fisto JSF using the AOTC ship's sculpt, and so I'm sort of interested in this CW era JSF repaint.

WOWZA!  :o

Did we know about this? I thought we were expecting Plo Koon's Starfighter in the Fall. Wonder if this is in lieu of or in addition to...either way, this is way cool!

WHat a joke.  Just like Ahsoka's fighter, they are packaging it showing the droid, but are not releasing the droid.  It's just a freaking repaint!  We should have had a half dozen astros by now in this line.  Bah!  Hasbro!

I think Astro's may happen in less conventional ways...  Like perhaps battlepacks and whatnot.  Hasbro's unlikely to completely bail on cheap astromech repaint possibilities.  But for the basic line, I can see their reasoning as while cheap for Hasbro, they're maybe not what the kids will want.

I'd keep my eye on multi-packs and stuff then.

Obi's R4-P17 is rumored for Wave 18, so maybe they are going to try to sneak a few out in the basic line this Fall...

I'd love to see more astromech droids multipacks like the ones we got a few years ago, maybe for the animated line this time.

I'd be game for another set or two and if I'm not mistaken, the EE Droids did fairly well - no?

Considering that the droids are just repaints of Goldie and the vehicles are just a repaint of Obi-Wan/Anakin's you would think that at this point, they could afford to just pack the correct astromech in with the ship.

I think any fighter deco that gets made has at least a better chance of getting a droid to go with it than not, so I'd keep some hope alive.

According to Galactic Hunter, this has been spotted at a Walmart in San Diego, there's even a pic up.

Good news, but I'm apprehensive this will be like the whole Jabba fiasco...can't sleep on this one.

Sigh...back to the Walmart runs.

Based on what I read in the Yakface forums last night, this has also now been spotted in Arizona and Iowa.

I wondered why no one has posted here about seeing this yet and then I remembered we are down to like 20-30 regular posters now.

I would really appreciate it if someone could mention this if they happen to see it in their travels. Will do likewise, of course.

Thanks!

I saw this as well and didn't give it a second look.

Drove all over town, hit at least ten Walmarts - not a single one had ANY of these.

Sounds like there's plenty of them where people don't need or want them.

Jabba Part Two?

I certainly hope not - I have not seen this yet myself. I was hoping that I would also find the DVD 2-packs and Kit Fisto's fighter this week to put myself "off the hunt" for a little while, but alas no such luck.

I hope the remaining WalMart exclusives aren't only going to be shipped to "Selected Stores" so I have to go through the same bullsh*t I had to go through just to get a Jabba.

Yeah, I am in the exact same boat...I hit about 6 different stores again today and no sign of this anywhere, nor the Malevolence packs. Closest thing I saw was a planogram sheet taped up at one Wally with 2 locations listed for SW Starfighter vehicle, but they had yet to start the reset so who knows.

What bugs me is the thing isn't even listed on their website anywhere yet, so you can't even see what stores it might be at or do site to store shipping or anything like that.

By contrast, Target has had their exclusives up on their site since last week I believe to coincide with the general release.

Well, the WalMart where I found this and the Malevolance 2-packs was not on the list of "selected stores" that stocked Jabba's throne.

So hopefully, the repaint/repack exclusives will be a lot easier to come by.

Now that I have those releases out of the way, I think I'm down to just the TIE Bomber for WalMart exclusives.

I wouldn't be surprised to stumble on that later this week or early next week.

Jabba Part Two?

Given there are boatloads of these things in Canada the answer would be yes, that is the case.  I've been seeing them for a couple of weeks now and JesseV is reporting even finding it on clearance already, but I think that's just his local store screwing up because they are full price around here.

I've just stumbled across a few this week, one at a Jabba store and one at a non-Jabba store.  ???

Very happy to have this out of the way...no more trips to Walmart is always good.
