I don't understand this at all. How is the Titanium line supposed to survive if Hasbro is charging more for the same thing we already have. unless this is just a last ditch effort to re-use an existing mold.Originally Posted by GalacticHunter
After an over 2 year hiatus, the Titanium Die-Cast Vehicle Series returns in the form of 3 packs and priced at a steeper premium for $29.96 per set at Wal-mart (where our samples were found this evening). That's a $3 increase for each vehicle from the 2009 $6.99 MSRP.
All nine vehicles in this first wave were previously released with no distinguishable variances in deco.
I'm glad to see TRU has the starfighter assort. now at 32.99$.
Furthering the fact I won't buy anything from them, are they trying to go out of business?
And that Titanium 3 pack is a laugh out loud, 30$ for three small ships? Is Hasbro trying to Kill the line when it begins?
I was going to buy that MTT when it comes out, but the Target computer is showing it at 129$.
Again.. Are these companies trying to make us NOT want to buy these?
The Big Millenium Falcon retailed at about $160, if I recall correctly. The Big AT-AT retailed at a little less, around $130? Considering that this MTT is supposed to be a Big MTT, exactly how is the $129 price tag so hefty in comparison with all the other Big vehicles? The AT-TE and the Turbotank both retailed at $100 when they came out. It's not like they're breaking new ground with that price point.
Dilly dally, shilly shally.
I agree. Plus considering all of the playabilty and features put into these "big" vehicles, it's pretty much worth it. You can always wait to see if they hit clearance since a lot of them do, but not in all cases. I had planned to get a second Turbo Tank, but they all pretty much disappeared. The Falcon is still selling at $130+ at some stores.
The Falcon is quite a bit bigger then all of the last large vehicles, paying that price seemed more logical. However looking at the MTT pics, I'm willing to bet it's not much bigger then a AT-TE. The last few releases (AT-TE, Turbo Tank, AT-AT) were all $99 at retail, unless you went to TRU.
The AT-AT was only 130$ with the vintage packaging.
Don't get me wrong, I'll probably still cave in and get it, but I hope it's bigger then the AT-TE, and Turbo tank.
Target near 44th st/Thomas: no new figs.
Dr. Fantasy's Comics 73rd ave/Bell Rd: they got in a box of the TPM wave. Picked up Qui-Gon & Ratts, the last 2 I wanted from the wave. Left the rest. They were $11.99 each.
Pittsburgh=City of Champions:
Pittsburgh Steelers(6x Champs).
Pittsburgh Penguins(3x Champs).
Pittsburgh Pirates(5x Champs).
Plus I think that this MTT includes 20 Battle droids

How much is a Premium format figure typically? I don't collect Sideshow but for obvious reasons this is VERY tempting
