Based on Chris’s review of the Vintage Republic Gunship, I visited a TRU yesterday to pick one up at the more-than-fair and already reduced price of $99. But I didn’t buy it because the lines were too long. But what a glorious day today is. Did you see the TRU flyer for this week? Some good deals there! 30% off Star Wars. I went online and picked up the exclusive Gunship for $69.99 as well as the X-Wing for $41.99. With free shipping, this all came out to less than the original price of the gunship alone.
Hasbro, take note. Interesting Original Trilogy figures still have legs in this line. Wave 3 consists of five figures. The All Star of the wave is Darth Plagueis which has long since sold out. The remaining four figures are three PT characters and one OT background alien. Despite the PT characters including a hero, a clone and a Wookiee, the next figure after Plagueis to sell out on Hasbro Toy Shop is the OT alien, Vizam. Again, Hasbro take note. Huzzah!

Wave 2 is starting to really stink. Hmmm. Episode II stinks and wave 2 stinks. Maybe Hasbro was trying its hand at that rhyming think Uncle George talked about.
