STAR WARS: THE VINTAGE COLLECTION THE MADALORIAN AT-ST RAIDER Vehicle
(HASBRO/Ages 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: Starting at $79.99/Available: Fall 2019)
Fans and collectors can imagine scenes from the STAR WARS Galaxy with this premium STAR WARS: THE VINTAGE COLLECTION THE MADALORIAN AT-ST RAIDER vehicle, inspired by the THE MADALORIAN live-action TV series on Disney Plus. With realistic detail including an opening cockpit, articulated legs, adjustable laser cannons and side-mounted weapons pods, and movable command viewpoint blast shields, this vehicle can be displayed in STAR WARS action figure and vehicle collections. Includes vehicle, figure, and accessory. Available at Best Buy
-
It's sexy as hell. The price isn't super awesome, but the paint apps are impressive. Anyone know if there are multiples on the show?
-
At least at Best Buy I'll see it on the shelf!
-
I have a severe allergy to the price, but that is awesome. The logo is far more Kenner ish than the PT or ST vintage logos have been for the most part. I'm really looking forward to the Mandalorian line up (and show).
-
Yeah, price is ridiculous. But, this is neat.
-
It was not that long ago at all I was seeing these at Ollie’s and ROSS for $10, so hard to get excited about the same thing for an exponentially higher price. The raider looks cool though.
-
That’s pretty gnarly. The price is nuts, but I would wait to buy it until I see the show and/or have a 4” Mandalorian. Much more interested in Poe’s X-Wing myself.
-
The paint apps on this put the Imperial (clean) one to shame though, so there's a value add there. Plus, aside from the figure, there are some newly tooled details on the hinge area and above the foot. And that little net thing, but that's not a tooled detail. Could you customize one of the $10 AT-ST's into this? Sure, but how much is your time worth?
-
Looks really nice, and man I never get tired of these vintage boxes. Like others, the prices on the vehicles are kind of steep. I want all of these, but will have to pass and/or wait to spread out the spending on nearly $300 worth of vehicles. Still though, the actual vehicle (and figure), look really nice. Like Ben said, I want a 3 3/4” Mandalorian though first before I’d grab this too.
-
I'm more interested in it for the figure. I'll be interested to see if a similar figure is released later individually or as part of a pack.
-
This gives me hope that we'll see TVC versions of the cast of The Mandalorian!

There are at least three TVC figures coming, but most likely not until early 2020 (The Mandalorian, "Code Name Duck", and "Code Name Berry")
-
I like the paint scheme on that AT-ST Raider ;D Hopefully they will use a harder plastic than the last Vintage Collection AT-ST... But this will be something to hunt down for sure!
-
This is a great way to start things off for The Mandalorian. Seeing the AT-ST in the trailer was very cool, and knowing that it's not in Imperial hands makes things interesting on the story front. Plus the figure looks really cool.
-
Is this available starting next Friday or at a later date?

I'm curious about this as well. I thought that it was, but I've also heard that it may not be hitting until November.
-
Hasbro originally said Friday, but the new HasbroPulse TFF checklist (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0169/6995/7440/files/SW-FanChecklist-10.3_1.pdf) that was released today says 11/1/19 for the AT-ST.
-
Well, that’s one less thing to have to search down tomorrow... It’s been years since I’ve been in a Best Buy store though.
-
Now up for pre-order at Best Buy (not a JD sponsor) - Vintage Collection AT-ST Raider w/Klatooinian Raider (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/star-wars-the-vintage-collection-the-mandalorian-at-st-raider-toy-vehicle-multi/6359123.p?skuId=6359123)
$79.99 with a planned November 1st release.
-
Finally pre-ordered. Not 100% on buying a 2nd to open, but it's still cool.
-
Pre-ordered... the Best Buy near my office is closing in a couple weeks, so this will be way more convenient. Thanks Jeff!
-
I'm going to swing over to my local Best Buy and see if I can find this bad boy today! :D
-
I just got a delivery notice, apparently it's showing up today.
-
Saw them in store today
-
Just got here... I had a hard time getting the legs right to stand firmly, but once I did it seems solid. I'm digging the Kenner baggie thing... almost didn't want to open him:

I just picked one up in a local Best Buy. And you know what? BB seems to have a better Star Wars section than I’ve seen at most Walmart stores.

I noticed that too. It's actually the only place around here that has Star Wars figures at all.
Received mine today too. I haven't had much of a chance to mess around with it, because I've been on conference calls all day. And the ones that I have to actually sort of pay attention. :(
-
That new AT-ST looks good 8)
Does it seem to have harder or softer plastic than some of the earlier releases? The last TVC version of the AT-ST used a soft plastic that tended to warp over time, making it difficult to keep the walker standing. I’m hoping that’s not the case with this!
-
Last night Yakface retweeted a person who got a 25% off a Star Wars toy coupon for BB.com, so I used it to PO a walker. It’ll take me till next weekend to get it but the coupon was appreciated. Before I confirmed the order it mentioned the coupon available at the bottom of the screen. Weird but cool nonetheless.

Seems like stiff plastic to me.
-
I picked one up today and put it together tonight. I love this thing!
First, I like the concept that scoundrels across the galaxy would be repurposing Imperial equipment after ROTJ. Also the look of this one would be indicative of them not being routinely maintained after the fall of the empire. There's some great details on this with the paint (skull and cross bones, hash marks for kills, etc.) and also the tarps covering the joints and the cargo net are nice touches!
The figure is great too, although I wish that the holster on his chest was functional and could fit the pistol that comes with him. Minor gripe.
-
Picked mine up! Only ordered the one for now and will not open it since I got a great package. Last month was pretty expensive on the toy front, so spreading the costs...
-
Just picked one up as well 8) It was kind of weird as I went to check both the closer and further BB stores in my area this morning and no AT-STs were to be had on the shelves. I then looked it up online which showed the AT-ST was in stock at the closer store (though none were out earlier). Nevertheless I ordered it online and it was ready for pickup in about 15 minutes. So a little bit of a strange process to get one, but it all worked out... If you haven’t gotten the AT-ST yet, the online ordering and store pickup option seems to be the way to get it :)
-
Bought the set. Sold the vehicle and kept the figure!
(Dont' get me wrong, I love the vehicle, but I just don't have room for it. I already have the Black Series version and that will have to do.)
But the figure is terrific. Until i get more Mandalorian figures, he fits in perfectly on the Sail Barge with his fellow Klatooinian brethren.
-

This is very much a "your mileage may very" situation unfortunately.
I ordered two of these back on October 7th, they charged me then, so I had paid for these almost a full month ago.
When I got to my local Best Buy where I had set up the site-to-store pick-up, at first they had a hard time finding my order, then the girl opened up the closet area behind the pickup register and I see that there are two AT-STs just sitting there, no longer in the outer shipping box and affixed to the packaging on each is a red/white tracking label sticker.
She then proceeds to try to carry both of them over to the counter/register at the same time and proceeds to drop one. I make like an "oh no" expression on my face and she says "don't worry, the item inside is well protected". I had to inform her that the condition of the packaging was important to me, and that I needed her to look if they had more in stock, as I did not want to take the one that now had a caved in bottom corner.
She said they had four more in stock.
When I got a good look at the other one, I started to peel the sticker off - and I told her, if this sticker ruins the packaging, I'm not going to want this one either. Thankfully the sticker came off and the condition of the box is maybe an 8 out of 10. I doubt these come in more than 2 per case, I have ZERO idea why they, when my order was for two, these EVER got removed from the outer shipping carton.
Anyway, I leave them both up by the pick-up register and I go to the "toy section" ::) and see what I can find on the shelves. One is also about an 8 in condition and the other one looks like it was unpacked by wolves.
So I get back up there, bringing the sorta okay one with me and I said, can you please check for the other two in the back, these are pretty dinged up - and I wasn't just being a jerk, this was the day of release and both boxes looked like they had been on the shelves for about a month. If someone told me that they had these on TFF and they've just been getting bounced around the stock room for the past month, I would believe it.
She goes to the back looking for them and after about 15 minutes comes back out and says "I'm sorry, we got a site-to-store order today and they're already prepared for that person to come pick them up" - I was less than pleased and reminded why I hate Best Buy.
I took the two and grabbed an IG-11 and went to the register to pay for the IG-11, turns out the guy working the register had a name-tag on that indicated he was a manager, and he asked me "did I find everything okay?" - I basically started with "no, I did not" and calmly told him all of the things that I was not happy with.
I'm only aware of two other Best Buys between my home and work, so if I can, I'll check them to see if I can find one that's in better shape, but I'm not counting on it.
-
Is this figure all new, a repaint, or kitbash? I was searching my Skiff crew diorama and trying to match this to the photos and didn't see a lot of similarities to what I've got on display.
-
I think he's all new.
-

Kitbash - new head, new helmet, new armor, the VC107 Weequay body with modified waist.

At this point Hasbro has so many various body parts that I don't think it makes any difference if they're reusing parts like that.
-
The figure looks great. We'll see how close it resembles screen character. I don't know how well the different parts interact since I haven't bought it yet. But I'm definitely ok with Hasbro doing more kit-bash if it (seemingly) turns out as good as this.
-
Saw a bunch of these at the local Best Buy the other night. I'm assuming they'll sit there for a while until they get discounted
-
Picked mine up tonight. It’s very cool. Kinda weird he has a gun, no holster, but a gun in a holster sculpted on him, but not a major issue. Cool little hat too.
The walker is a nice deco change... I have a giant box full of clearanced atst walkers I’ve gotten over the years, but I enjoy having this “new” look one with a marauder dude for it. It’ll be weird having this and really nobody else for with it, but such are the times we live in.
-
Picked this up at Best Buy last night.
I was really on the fence about buying this vehicle - partially because of price and partially because of space. One thing that I really appreciate about this item is the packaging. Its really small (that's what she said) and clearly comes with some assembly required. I'm not going to set this up right away, so I appreciate the fact that as a boxed item it'll have a small profile in my storage area.
I'll echo what others have stated - Best Buy has a solid Star Wars toy selection. Most impressive.
-
On sale (?) for $69.99 and the single figures for $10.99.

Not sure why, but Amazon seems to be carrying this Best Buy exclusive now.

I'll tell you why, because I preordered one for $88 with tax!
You're welcome.

Interesting. Was at BB the other day and they were out, which I can only imagine is a great thing. Been waiting to pick up an opener, would be ironic if this sold out.
-
Best Buy lowered the price a tad to $68 for "Clearance." Picked up an opener.
-
Very pleasantly surprised that the legs have been vastly improved in terms of stance strength. :)
-
For some reason (according to Hasbro "popular demand" ???), this is back up for pre-order at fan channel shops and Hasbro Pulse. Due in April 2024.
Pulse -> $79.99
https://hasbropulse.com/products/star-wars-the-vintage-collection-the-mandalorian-at-st-raider-toy-vehicle
EE -> $83.99

Not sure who still wants this at this price (especially with the pack-in figure now available separately) but here's your chance if you still want/need this 4 years later.
-
I'll take one... I missed out the first time and secondary market prices for the original have been somewhere over $125 for a while. I still would have rather gotten something new.
-
Finally the day we’ve all been waiting for. ???
-
How big was this hidden warehouse?
I thought it was just filled with old Black Series stuff.
-
Probably accidentally made a bunch of these when they started the line back up to do the ROTJ 40th version. >:D
-
I'm wondering if someone at Hasbro pulled the trigger on reissuing this when they saw how well the Klatoonian Raider was selling outside of this set? At least before that figure was released on a TVC card. Whatever the case, this particular reissue is questionable at best.
-
Yeah to me this was a slightly memorable aspect of a relatively forgettable episode from two years ago. I'm quite over AT-ST re-issues. But if someone missed it last time and this helps them out, that's fine and good.
-
It was a far bigger announcement that Transformers fans got a new shot at Fortress Maximus. That's a big deal. For star wars fans that that might be like a reissue of a republic gunship , Turbo tank, or AT-TE at an affordable price.
-
This just showed up on my porch from Pulse this morning. Just in case anyone else had forgotten they ordered one/another one of these.
