Walmart Vintage Collection TIE Fighter
« on: July 12, 2018, 11:54 PM »
Jayson over at the Yak teased this and Robot Kingdom spilled the beans completely.  Vintage Collection “Big Wing” TIE Fighter

Apparently Walmart isn’t don’t banking on bigger ticket exclusives.

I’m excited to get a big wing grey TF at this point.

Ooooh.... I don’t have a big wing TIE.  I might actually pick this up.

Very nice.  Based on the packaged image I am liking the paint color/apps.  That's been a sticking point for me when it comes to TIE Fighters over the years.  I hope they show this at SDCC next week.

Comes with a pilot too.  Very nice.

I'm both cheering and screaming. Arguably my biggest want (search my post history!), exclusive to the worst retailer.

I have that big wing TIE that was released 8-9 years ago at Target - which is great save for the pink-tinted cockpit glass...  I’m hoping this will have the super-detailed TIE cockpit with the controls and removable seat.  It will be great to finally get a decent version of one of the most ubiquitous ships in the SW universe, just stinks that it’s at Walmart.

Looks like they’re using the Lt Oxxio TIE pilot.  Good choice!

Do we have a price for this? I should probably pick one up seeing as I never bought any of the other scale wing TIEs.

No official comment on price yet, but based on the overseas pricing that has turned up it looks like it will be in the $75-80 range in the US.

I spotted one of these in my local Walmart today.  It’s impressive to look at, and it’s great to see something new on the shelf. But the price scanned at $79 even, so I’m going to hold off for a while.

I have a feeling we will see these clearance at some point.

That would be awesome as I aim to replace 8 of my 9. I can use my Shadows version as a wing leader, but this is pretty much the ultimate cockpit and I have to replace the outdated ones.

Has anyone spotted this on the west coast (in California) recently?  I checked a few Walmart’s in my area last weekend but came up empty handed (though I did find some other items I was looking for).  I’m just curious and always wary about Walmart and their irregular distribution antics...
