The Special Editions have now turned up at Kmart for $38 each. Slightly cheaper than the TRU $40 (and Kmart are more likely to have them on sale), but still above the Toy Kingdom price. Haven't found them at a Toyworld yet, which is supposed to be the same chain as Toy Kingdom now...
So if Kmart have another %-off toy sale after Christmas, they could be close to $30 each. If any are left after the last minute Chrissy toy shopping...
