Well, that was a flop. The tip was not at all accurate. The person had apparently seen the $99.99 price tag for the AT-TE, and thought it was for the Falcon. Ugh. I scanned it, and it still came up $149.99. The hunt will continue...

It seems every year there is at least one massive Star Wars toy that comes out roughly around August. Two years ago it was the AT AT at Toys R Us. And boy in August those were everywhere. Come December, this $90 toy was up to around $250 on ebay and sold out everywhere. Same with the Star Wars Ultimate Battle Packs last year (in most areas) and the Star Wars Imperial Shuttle two years ago. I'm not saying the demand for the Falcon will be quite at that level but it is only August. It makes sense to have it out now. Sell a few to the collectors and hard core fans and get it in people's mind for the holidays. I remember as a kid seeing the USS Flagg and it was always like "wait for Christmas". Man those months were hard but it was worth it in the end!

Ran into it also when someone said wal mart had for $100. Turns out it was on the same (island?) as the AT-TE. Not sure what I would do w/2, but it's worth it for $100

I picked mine up at Walmart. I had some money left over on a gift card so I guess it was kind of on sale... sorta...
Anyway, you can see my impressions here if you feel so inclined. Toy Bender Blog Archive The Big Millennium Falcon is Mine!

just got back from my local walmart in murrieta CA. not a single falcon in sight. tons of AT-TE, but no YT-1300. = (
i didnt even want to buy one. i just wanted to marvel at the size of the box. (but i scored both joe DVD packs and a captain america iron man, so it wasnt a bad trip!)

My walmart has them in a back area with the bicycles and large boxes, you might want to check again. All I'm gonna say is I couldn't wait, I got mine and it's Freakin SWEET. Best toy I own.

Thanks Driftbot.
20% off isn't too bad considering toys r us marks it up ten bucks more than everyone else.
