2023 TVC TM Speeder Bike w/Scout & Grogu

[Ryan]

For an obvious repaint, it looks pretty good. At $44.99 (or $49.99 if Rob is right and this follows the pattern of the Tuskens...) I'm down for two of these to start. Had this been closer to $30, I'd have wanted 4-5.

It's a nice enough offering, but like others said - predictable.  The inclusion of Grogu in the satchel is a nice added touch.

I think some of the finer points of this Scout Trooper might have been overlooked.  Because Hasbro actually nailed some of the differences between this Scout Trooper and previous Scout Troopers.  This one has a bit of the black uniform showing below the chest plate.  And the knee pads are also correct to the scene from Season 1, Chapter 8.

I'm hoping that the price will be the same as the speeder bike that's in stores now.  If it's part of an assortment, then the price should be the same across the assortment.  But I guess we'll know for sure later today.

Thanks Jeff.  Used the amazon link to preorder three of them.

Sounds like these are starting to hit Target stores on the West Coast... another $45 to help crush your budget this month!

[P-Siddy]

These were found outside of StL at a Target as well.

Yeah, i saw 3 at a SF Bay Area Target last week.

Not crazy about the price, but i wouldn't mind one with IG-11 along with Grogu inside a sack with a thrill-ride expression on his face.

When it rains, it pours - got my shipping notice from EE. 

[Rob]

I got an email from Pulse saying they’re shipping soon, but no tracking yet.

Meanwhile, gentle giant has shipped ten mini-busts in the last 3 or 4 months.  It’s been an expensive summer.

I found these at Target in Denver tonight. Ended up picking up three and will cancel my preorders. September had not been nice to the wallet...

[Nicklab]

I found this the other day in Walmart, and again yesterday in Target.  It's nice when you can actually find things on the shelves!  But the price tag on this is still questionable.

[CorranHorn]

Local Target has been sitting on 3 of these for a couple weeks now. Price is too much for my liking. We’ll see if that’s the case with other local collectors

[Nicklab]

There are scattered reports that this is getting clearanced by Target in some locations for around $25.  It will not now up in the Target app with that price, but it scans for that price in stores at the price check stations and the registers.  I went looking for them this morning but wasn't successful.

I think it's most likely a pricing error since this just got released.  And possibly Target mistook this speeder bike for the ROTJ version and placed it on clearance.

I'm not even sure that Amazon and Pulse have even shipped them yet and Target is clearing them out?!?  That has got to be some kind of mix up with the previous speeder bike. 

Target just seems like they have zero patience these days to let things linger on the shelf.  So much collector product on clearance at Target right now.  Must not be any room in the holiday planograms for any of this stuff.  Gotta make room for those BS 6" Holiday Snowman Trooper figures I guess!

[Rob]

Works for me.  I’m hoping I can find a few at this price and return my $45 ones.
