Saw this in Target the other day and it looks pretty cool. It also seems pretty expensive. I know some SW vehicles can be a tad on the overpriced side, but I'm just looking for some feedback from anyone who has bought this or knows if there's anything special about it.
Thanks! |

First, I'll say that right now all toys are over priced.
I don't have this one (yet), but it first came out for the ROTS line. It was hard to find. Not many stores carried it. I remember it being around $30 back then. Target had an exclusive with a special paint job and that might have been $50 on the high end a couple years later. But it also was exclusive. This is really just a new paint job on an old mold. The toys itself is pretty cool. |

Yeah, that's the thing. I remember it being $30 to $50 before. The one I saw was around $70 to $80 and I couldn't see any additional features or even a pilot included, so it left me scratching my head. Its the first Clone Wars vehicle I'm considering picking up as I like the new paint job.

Thanks guys. Did a little ebay research and you can get the ROTS version for around $35. The only difference between that and the new one is a different paint job and an additional $35. :(
Maybe if I see it on clearance... otherwise case closed. |

Supposedly this is the reasoning. Indeed it was a $39.99 vehicle before the exclusive paint jobs lifted it to $49.99.
Hasbro bumped the MSRP to $79.99 to accommodate the Clone Wars era Y-Wing Fighter vehicle that is scheduled for release later this fall. The Y Wing will have a retail price of $79.99 as well and will be shipping along with the ARC Fighter. The pricing had to do with shelf space, shipping two items of the same price in the same box under the same sku. What Hasbro failed to realize is that there are quite a few $49.99 ARC Fighters sitting around on the shelves next to their $79.99 cousins. Looks quite bad doesn't it? |

When I saw the price at Target I picked up the box to see where the button was to make it dance and sing...
I'm still glad I got my BMF on clearance. |
