Target 2023 TVC Deluxe Tusken Warrior & Massiff
« on: April 11, 2023, 11:27 AM »
Check out this Mando Mania reveal!  It's a Deluxe TVC version of the Tusken Warrior including a newly tooled Massiff.  There's no need to dig through your 2002 figures to find one now.

Classic Hasbro #doubledip

Going to cancel my single carded Warrior and get this instead...  I should just cancel the single carded TBOBF Luke too since a dlx pack with him and backpack Grogu is likely coming too according to Jayson.

Was just going to say this...  :(


EDIT: ... and Target exclusive, too. Double Whammy! (Feel like I'm on Press Your Luck)

Is this Tusken Warrior any different than the other single carded one?  They look the same to me and I'd prefer to just cancel my initial preorder and buy this one once.

They should have just made a fifth generic Tusken out of the parts from the 4-pack and then I'd have bought both.

If Hasbro was smart they’d release the Massif separately and charge you $17-8 so you’re spending $35 instead of $28.

Don't worry, I'm sure they will double-dip this new Massif again with a generic "The Mandalorian" Tusken Raider - or even Mando himself from the Season 2 Mando/Tusken arc. ;)

I agree with the general sentiments - there should have been a more generic Tusken Raider in this set.  The double dip would have been more acceptable in that instance.  If anything the inclusion of the Tusken Warrior is going to hurt the basic figure sales.  Still, I say that in the full knowledge of the Ahsoka (Corvus) basic figure being a similar situation, and that sold quite well.

This is supposed to go up for preorder tomorrow at 1:00 pm ET.

They probably just split the production into two buckets, one with the massif and one without and the profits are huge on either so they don’t care too much.

Today's going to suck around 1 pm....or closer to 2:30 pm knowing how Target operates.

I was surprised how easy it was to order this time. I guess I should cancel the single-carded Tusken now.

It says sold out again.  So it was there for what, 3 minutes? 

Maybe it's bouncing in and out and will be back in a minute?!

If their track record is consistent they should repost this in a few months either for more pre-orders or when it finally hits US shores.

Definitely.  Target seems to keep initial preorder quantities pretty low.

I only managed to order the Kenner colors Fett like five days ago.
