Just a question, but are they even making these any more?

I've had a look on Toys R Us and they're out of stock; and on Play.com as weel - which I remember them having some - and it seems none existent?

What's going on!? :sad:

When they first came out, it was a shelf warmer, so they never did another run, IIRC

They were shelfwarmers because Toysrus were over charging $89.99 for them. In other places like Walmart they were going for $69.99. There were some Walmarts that lowered them to even 50. But where I live there were just two runs for $69.99 and they all immediately flew quick.

yea, I think I missed out on when they were $50, and they sold out or were finally pulled when I went to finally buy one. Hasbro Toy Shop still had them last I checked.

I got 1 in september for $15.00 at Wallyworld :shock:

It was the only one they had at the time. One week later I saw they got some more and sold those for regular price.

Well , my Wal Mart used to have them. I got mine on Amazon. For less than $70.

A local Walmart has probably a dozen of these (as of yesterday). I believe they were selling for $50 or $60, but I can't remember exactly.

PM me if you want me to pick up one for you. I'll only ask that you pay for shipping as well as the full price of the item with tax.

Judging by the fact you cite using play.com, I'm guessing you are from the UK?

My Toys R Us is out of them, in fact I bought mine roughly a week before they all went.

If it's any help, The Entertainer still have him. At least, my local one (Worcester) does. Marked down to £50 now.

Yes to both questions. Buy it, you won't regret it.

If you want to see the color diff check out the galleries:

But when they are not standing next to each other othe color on DVD prime does not seem quite so orange.
