We were shopping yesterday, and unless I am on the hunt, we don't shop at Walmart (only for SW figures). Anyway, so we went to 2 Targets looking for a new Pokemon video game for my son (not out yet). Anyway, at one Target I found 2 of the Tie's and looked it over. If it was $20 to $25 I would have bought it. Not worth it at $39.99. The next Target we went to, I found four on the shelf. I know one of the Toy Dept workers there and asked him how they were selling. He went into the back and said, looks like we sold about 6 the first week, but only 1 this week.
I believe in the end this vehicle will do what the other Target exclusives have done; sit on warm the shelf. The initial collectors who want em have gotten em, and now the ones that are there and in the back will sit (an occasional one will sell still I beleive). Then we Target puts them on clearance they will fly off the shelves. Very typical of a Target exclusive ship. So I am willing to gamble and wait. I may be wrong and if so, no biggie as I really am not into vehicles. My son would like one, but like my wife said, "I'm not going to spend some $40 on a ship, that's a tank of gas almost." And that is my final point. I don't think most kids parents are going to buy these, which will ensure these sit at the current price.
