Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

OH MY GOD
hes using the chewbacca defense, were doomed

[Thanatos]

Why would an 8ft tall Wookiee live on Endor with a bunch of 2ft Ewoks? That just doesn't make sense!

Damn man I stopped collecting animated but I'd pick up a longarm/shockwave for $4.99, even with conversion.

[Robzy]

Hells yeahs!

[Zahhak]

maaaybe.. just MAYBE, the prices on ebay will drop a bit so some of us can afford it.
Tomorrow I'm gonna follow some Target rep home and punch him in the face and when he says why all I'm gonna say is "you know very well why"

[SGB]

Holy freakin' crap! :eek:

Now why can't we get such prices like that here?

If anyone is somehow able to manage a group order for Sunstorm and Shockwave at those prices, count me down for both items.

I'd say direct your complaints to Target here (http://www.target.com.au/html/homepage/home_fw.htm), but according to the little disclaimer they're not actually affiliated with the USA corporation...best you could hope for is that if they're going for that little it's cos they're not selling and maybe some enterprising toy store might buy some of the excess stock off Target USA - I'm not gonna hold my breath personally.:(
Consequently, I say we whine - and where possible get others to whine - to Hasbro directly (http://hasbro.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/hasbro.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php?p_sid=Ol7Er7ij&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfc m93X2NudD01MDMmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N 2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfc GFnZT0x).

If you could get a US based fan to buy it and ship it out, it'd still work out about the same as buying it retail here...

FYI, this is NOT a "clearance" price. Rather, it's just a sale price. On the other hand, Universe Deluxes ARE on clearance for $8.38. I have heard that Target always makes clearance prices end with 8, which my personal experience validates.

Also on sale this week (USD):

Animated Deluxes: $7.99
Animated Voyagers: $18.99
Animated Leaders: $29.99
Universe Voyagers: $17.99
Universe Ultras: $22.99

Oh yeah... TRU has 20% off everything too :D

[kay-al]

I just got back from the US!!! What the....... :mad:

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Yet ANOTHER reason to hate the yanks......


Anger building....:o

[evilman378]

Apparently there was some mistake with pricing. It was meant to be 22.99 usd.

Picked up 3 of these from eBay. I think the shipping price will turn out to be using a slow method, but I managed to get for $50NZ each - same price as local if Shockwave was released here.
