Title: TRU Holographic General Grievous
Post by: Jeff on April 20, 2008, 12:42 PM
A new rumored item from the gang at RS (from a SKN# in the TRU computer):

059737 - $6.99 Holographic Gen Grievous

Let the "lame variant of a lame animated figure" complaining begin!   :P

At least it's listed at 6.99

Lame figure? Grievous is the best animated figure of the wave. :P

It could be red holographic...  You never know.   :-X

I like Evenflow's thinking...  At least it's $6.99 instead of $7.99 or worse.  Thank god for small favors I guess.

A holographic Grievous makes a lot of sense actually. A holographic animated figure I'm a little more wary of.

You beat me to it. That was my very first thought when I caught wind of it.

At least its not a shopstarwars exclusive for $15.99.



By the way, why are we giving Hasbro ideas??

I wonder if they're going to start taking the approach that they did with the Iron Man figures.

Target (and I think TRU) has an Exclusive Iron Man figure, but it's packaged in a manner identical to the regular line and the only way you can really tell that it's an exclusive is that it has a sticker on it that reads "Only at Target". I wonder if for the Clone Wars, there will be exclusive figures to the big box stores and they'll just get mixed in with the regular assortments, this Holo Grievous being the TRU one.

Yep... maybe that means the whole line really isn't jumping in price by a buck.

I've seen that the Indy figures too are going to be $6.99 (I think).

There was a DPCI that popped up for a Target exclusive "Clone Commander Fox" figure and as we know, a separate DPCI means it's not part of the regular assortment.

087-06-2060 SW Clone Commander Fox ($12.99)

Note that it's priced at the classic Target exclusive price...  ::)

Assuming that this is an animated figure, of course.

Funny charge that on the clam shelled figures when they only charge $9.99 on the end cap stuff (Order 66, Joe Vehicles, Transformers).

I always pass on their $12.99 exclusives anyway though because almost all of them have been lame.

No Shadow Grievous..then? :P
Title: Re: Holographic General Grievous?
Post by: JACKOFTRADZE on April 22, 2008, 06:01 PM
I am very Saddened it's not a Shadow style figure too.

I can see this figure getting a price adjustment like the Y-Wing and Tie Fighter shortly after it's release.They started out at $29.99 then they bumped the price up. A price that low could also mean this figure is free if you spend enough loot on SW **** like ROTS when you got the Yoda Holo but you can also buy him separately. I wish they would stop the gummi bear holographic figures once and for all. The OTC Ben Kenobi and saga Luke, even the TAC Spirit Anakin look pretty good for what they are.

The solid blue like Holo Vader is a waste of shelf space. Just my opinion. (I also think the entire animated figure line is a waste of shelf space too!)

D'oh, didn't see that Jack mentioned Shadow in his post above.

not too exciting but really wasnt expecting it to be.

Lot of whamies for me - animated, holographic, prequel character... but the swappable arm feature is kind of cool.

I don't know if I like it.
The switchable arms seem kind of weird.

Anyone know if this is a "for purchase" product or a freebie when you spend $25 like  TRU has done with past SW Exclusives?
Title: Re: TRU Holographic General Grievous
Post by: iFett on July 11, 2008, 03:09 PM
Pretty sure it's "free" with a $30 purchase.
Title: Re: TRU Holographic General Grievous
Post by: smartsoccerbb on July 11, 2008, 04:52 PM
Yeah. When you buy up to $30 of Star Wars items at TRU, it comes with your purchase free.

Post by: jedi_master_sal on July 11, 2008, 04:54 PM

That is the case.

I plan on spending several hundred there. I'm hoping to make many purchases and get several free Greivous this way. I'll use some for trade, what's left will be donated to charity from my extras.

Awesome. I'll probably go with the multiple purchases idea if this is the case.
Title: Re: TRU Holographic General Grievous
Post by: smartsoccerbb on July 11, 2008, 05:17 PM
That should allow everyone who wants more than one to get it. I only want one.
Title: Re: TRU Holographic General Grievous
Post by: JediJman on July 11, 2008, 07:28 PM
Its much better than getting a piece of paper saying you can buy one. You know, they gave out 10 to the first 10 people for ROTS? :P

Hunh?  ???

Thanks, I've done the same thing with previous TRU exclusives.

Post by: Phrubruh on July 16, 2008, 02:08 PM
Clone Wars handbook confirms the free with $30 purchase at TRU. You could probably just buy the figure outright at TRU.com for $9.99. They did this last time with holo Emporer.

True.

In my case, as mentioned I'll trade for other figures with the extras I have. That will SAVE other people the trouble of waiting to order later if even made available, or having to buy $30 of stuff they might not otherwise want to do. I don't expect too many people to want to trade for this though, so I expect to be donating the majority of extras.
