Are they going to be in Toys R us, Target, and Wal Mart?

Wow!! I must own all of these. Do you know when they will be out for sale?
March 1, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Ok - we have to have them all…the girls are estatic that we see the woman Jedi, or at least a couple, and then the AT-RT, the Tie Fighter, and the Dewback with the ewoks. OH THESE ARE AWESOME!

OHHHHHH… please tell me these are real….I’ve been dying for a tie fighter…er um… I mean my sons been dying for a tie fighter to chase.

the millenium falcon is out now! just got mine today. there were about 2 dozen on an end cap. when do the other sets come out? i’ve heard march 23.

I love that HASBRO has included a rancor but, instead of more re-issure figures why could they not have the rancor keeper & Oola the dancer?
March 10, 2008 at 7:11 pm
I want the droideka, and the one with the AT-RT looks awesome. Also, my little sister thinks that General Grievous is cool and wants one, plus his bodyguard. Dad is pretty freaked out by the Rancor, which looks like it is ready to eat everything.

Any idea if the tie fighter advanced will be electronic like the other vehicles… I hope we get some lights and sounds!
March 16, 2008 at 9:51 am
I can’t believe this is happening. I must have the AT-RT and Tie fighter. Hopefully they come out with some other ships like Slave I. Anybody know if they’re releasing Jabba? May the Force Be With You!

Oh god my son is going mad for the entire range!!! But WHEN will they hit the UK. We normally have to wait six months!! OR buy them at 3 times the price on ebay!!!
March 23, 2008 at 12:32 pm
I Neeeeeeeeeed that rancor
March 28, 2008 at 1:50 pm
wow those look awsome I’m trying to get all of them for a big movie I’m making with toys but there are just so many.
March 28, 2008 at 2:34 pm
They already release Jabba’s Palace a while ago that I believe was exclusively for Target. Try eBay or amazon.com, but it’s a pretty penny!!!
April 11, 2008 at 1:30 pm
I really want all of these!! Where do you get them?
April 14, 2008 at 7:48 pm
I have been waiting for these waves for two years now. I have been mildly impressed with a few packs lately, but mostly astonished that they have opted for OT nobodies instead of a wealth of awesome jedi like saesee tiin, agen kolar, aayla secura, plo koon, SHAAK MF TI!, ki adi mundi, etc…
I can’t wait to search for and purchase the 2008 galactic heroes! My son (2) is just starting to get into star wars ( a little). He is starting to learn the characters by watching clone wars and finding the galactic hero (we pretty much have ‘em all)
He thinks Mace Windu is lil’ Bill (Cosby)

message for Debbie Owen,
I have bought all Galactic Heroes for my son and I live in the UK. I can get some from Forbidden Planet (http://www.forbiddenplanet.com/fp) and I’ve found going into their shops is better than mail order. Also there are some sites in the US which ship to the UK and this is much cheaper than buying on ebay especially if you are buying a lot. Can’t wait to get these new ones…

You got to be kidding me! That’s awesome! I can wait for the new vehicles!
May 21, 2008 at 11:03 am
Those sets should stores around my area soon, hopefully, sooner than expected! But the Magna Guard was just a fantasy in my mind, along with the Destroyer Droid. I hope that these sets are real…

How do you find out when these will be released? I have googled every phrase I can think of and can’t find it. My five-year-old son has fallen asleep every night for a week talking about that AT-RT and the droideka figure.
May 31, 2008 at 11:40 am
Well, Jack’s mom, the category says 2008, so it could be during winter, during summer, whenever. You know, Hasbro has surprised people before…

I have not seen the AT-RT,TIE, Rancor or Jedi Strfighter out yet, any news? I got tarfull and Gree yesterday at a Target. It seems that they released them in very small lots.
June 13, 2008 at 11:48 am
Got Gree and Tarfull last night a Target store, VERY difficult to find them, any news on when they will be releasing at least the AT-RT, Starfighter or TIE?
June 14, 2008 at 12:24 am
they look great, do they come out in the uk?
June 14, 2008 at 4:24 am
The best information I can give you is to look for them carefully.
June 23, 2008 at 6:28 am
I have seen several of these for sale on e-bay including the Leia/R2-D2 set, tie fighter, Jedi Starfighter & Escape from Mos Eisley.. they are all from the same seller in Hong Kong. So I am assuming they have been released in China.. hope they are in the US soon.

My guess is that the majority of them will be released on 7/26 with the clone wars figure line. In the meantime I visit TRUS, KBToys, Target, and Walmart almost on a daily basis
