I'd like to see it in hand.  They've done such a poor job with him in the past, that I hope it can rival the Vintage Jabba and throne.  That was one of my favorite Star Wars items as a kid, and I still have a complete set now.  It's going to have to beat that for me to buy one.

The pictures at Comic Con looked good to me.  Removable pillows?  Woo-hoo!  Count me in.  I foresee Oola and Slave Leia having many a pillow fight.

Yes, it did look pretty sweet.  I'm hoping to see more of it soon.  Anyone know when it's supposed to hit retail?

I was down your way yesterday, but didn't stop in the one walmart, just my luck! The one I don't check is the one that has the items! That'll teach me!

Man I wish they would put this OT stuff in a vintage style box. I like Capt. Rex but I cringe every time he is the tag on the OT product. Just doesn't look right or make any sense to me. Am I the only one?

 Personally, I'm getting a little tired of  Clone Wars stuff. ::) I wish  Lucas  would do more with  the original trilogy. No offence guys, for those who  love "The Clone Wars"

Yup same here, i'd like to see a "return" of the Legacy style reinvented....

Also they have been sighted in NZ , hopefully here soon....

i am a first generation star wars fan i love the clone wars   and i grew up loving the OT but i totally agree   that Rex does not belong on the OT product .

I too think Rex on a vintage box is downright ludicrous. I don't see why they can do two styles, one vintage, one clone wars. It reeks of trying to save money on box art to me.

I wonder how they would answer a queston in that regard?

Just saw this at my local Walmart. 2 of these and 4 Yarna's is the only SW merch in the store.

None of my Wal-Marts have even started putting out the new stuff.  How much is this bad boy, anyway?

It is suppose to be 24.99 for this and I have heard of a few friends picking this 1 up right now.

Better add $10 to that price. I picked mine up today.

Picked up mine today too.  And with tax, mine was $37.42

Been searching for this  and no stores in NS,Canada have it yet? I search local wal-marts once a week and no luck :(

I don't really want to ebay it for shipping cost too much....mail-order maybe? ...again the shipping...unless i find a trust worthy mail-order within Canada?

I don't know that I'd panic yet.  With the Christmas season coming up in the next month or so, Walmart (and stores in general) are going to be bringing in more merchandise.  Unless Hasbro specifically says the window on this guy is closed, I wouldn't lose hope.

Happy,happy,joy,joy..... The new Jabba’s throne is finally out in Canada, I picked mine up on my way to work this morning….it’s hard to work when all I want to do is get home and toss my old jabba and set-up this new and amazing looking set.

Just thought I'd put out a bit of news I've heard consistently enough to deem valid.

People are starting to find these in stores again; and not only that, but each store appears to be getting more than just a case or two.  I've seen a fellow collector report seeing as many as ten on a shelf at one store.

Also, for those who are tired of going to the store, these occasionally show up on Walmart's online store.  You can actually have the item shipped to a local store, meaning you don't have to pay for shipping.  Some people like to argue you still have to drive to the store; but I'm not in the camp that believes that's a good argument.
