None of the above Mike, you should find the Snow Speeder everywhere. Have you guys notice that both Target and Walmart increased the price on the GH’s sets?, they are now selling @ $21.99 here in the Phoenix area (from $19.99)
I love Alaya!
I gots the Droideka firgureine!
I’am in SoCal and there are plenty of Rancors and AT-RT’s at Toys R Us and also plenty of tie-fighters and the Obi-wan’s fighters at Target. I’am still confused about the why Saesee Tiin’s head is detachable? I noticed that one of his horns gets broken in the clone wars micro series but unless hasbro give’s me another head where the horn is broken I don’t get it. I don’t really want my kids to pretend there chopping someone’s head off. By the way this site has saved me a lot of gas money driving around town looking for new GH’s, thanks everybody.
I went to the one of the TRUS store here in Phoenix to see if the Pit of Carkoon set made it yet and found out that they’ve just received a new load of the AT-RT and Rancor Pit exclusive sets (I saw at least 3 sets of each including the top shelf). Like I posted before, sometimes this exclusive sets show up slowly so you should be on the lookout if you still want to snatch these 2. No signs of the Carkoon set yet.
Check out Hasbro.com. Today they had the the Dagobah landing, Jabba’s skiff, Anakin and STAP, Dooku and Ventress, and Cpt. Rex and Ahsoka.
Use the code Fall20 on Hasbro.com for 20% off & free shipping.
Great call on the Hasbro.com site. I got there just in time to get one of the skiffs. All of the two pack figures were already sold out but the fall20 code worked, I only paid 18.65$ after tax and that included shipping!
Thanks!!!for the code
You can get the Vader’s tie-fighter and the Obi-wans fighter at Wal-Mart.com site to. Rite know this two packs are out of stock at hasbro.com site. Anyone knows if Hasbro.com really sold this tree new pack figures?
I stumbled upon the rancor set at a recent visit to TRUS. I was there just two days earlier and it wasn’t there. I was about to order it from the website but found it first. We’re now on the hunt for the two new cinema scenes and the new four packs. That will complete our set giving us (my son and his dad) the entire collection!
Has anyone heard anything about the christmas sets that I’ve heard are coming?
I have seen the Christmas sets at TRUS.com and Hasbro.com.
The Jabba’s Skiff set made its way to the Wal-Mart’s here in Phoenix, $21.99 tag like I said before they raised the price from $19.99. I grabbed it yesterday and that Skiff is great, it even has that little platform where Luke stands before he is “executed”. I don’t know, I am a 3-3/4″ figure/vehicle collector but does anybody know why this GH’s line is sooooo addictive!! I mean you can’t just pass on any new set or two pack release! It’s great, BTW per a recent Hasbro Q&A’s, it seems that both a removable helmet Jango and and a Boba Fett are on the works, cool!!
any sign of the new 2 packs? big lots has the single packs $3? is that cheap?
The Jabba set hasn’t made it to the East Coast yet… checked TRU, Wal-Mart and Target last night. Although they did have the new Christmas three-packs at TRU for $7.99, which are about the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in the Star Wars universe! My five-year-old son was absolutely beside himself at the Anakin with a candy-cane lightsaber.
jacks mom, i saw the jabba palace set at toys r us philly and also the rancor at toys r us in bucks county today …. still no sign of the new clone wars 2 packs that were out 10/15????
omg, these sets are awsome. but are they coming out in the uk?
i found the new GH figures at Target today! rex & tano, anakin & staf, dooku & ventriss, and obi-wan & cody. take note — they were incorrectly ringing up $14.99 and they had to adjust them down to $6.99 at the register.
Oops, sorry, didn’t mean the Jabba set as in the one with Jabba, I meant Jabba’s skiff, the Pit of Carkoon set – the one with Boba Fett. That one finally turned up at Wal-Mart and was triumphantly grabbed by my son, who’d saved his allowance for two months to buy it. That was a happy day.
Say I had a problem too at a Target in Plano texas. The price for Anakin and Staf rang up as $14.99 and they refused to correct it. I even showed them others on shelf that were marked correctly. Spoke to night manager and he would not change the price. We returned it and son was very upset.
We ended up going to Walmart and scored a Jabba’s Skiff.
Had to buy the Anakin off ebay.
At first Target refused to change the price to $6.99 from $14.99, but the customer service mgr was very understanding and reallized their computer was wrong and manually changed them for me. That’s a bummer they weren’t able to change it for you at the Plano store.
Same thing happened to me, just asked and the cashier herself overrode for $6.99 price.
Check this out new GH’s for December/January

not to intrude on your conversations but the new two packs with rex ahsoka and the others in that group were ringing up 14.99 at the targets in the kansas city area as well just asked for somebody to match the 6.99 price tag that was on the shelf
Same thing happened at Target in Blaine, MN. The manager made it seems like he was giving me a deal at $6.99. Luckily he changed it otherwise I would have had a screaming 4 year old. They had all 4 new 2 packs. Even the woman behind me in line (who was very nice about waiting while they got things cleared up) said they wouldn’t be $14.99.
Target fixed their system to $7.69 so you got a deal.
Walmart has the new sets for $6.69 so does TRUS.
my grandson wants gallactic hero millenium falcon. I understand these are little chubby star war figures sold only at kmart…and even the kmart people dont know what i want. supposed to be around 45 dollars. can anyone help?
Yes,
The millenium falcon is a Walmart exclusive. It can be difficult to find, and you may have to go to e-bay at this point in order to get it. Look around, and you may be able to find it. Take care!
kathy, the chunky millenium falcon was a Wal-Mart (and not a K-Mart) exclusive back in March (They are long gone from the shelves sorry). They were actually priced at ~$35, your only hopoe is to overpay for it on the web, here is a link that maybe helful (going for $99!!)

Kathy, the chunky MF was a Wal-Mart exclusive (an not a K-Mart) back in March, and are now long gone from the shelves. They were selling for ~$35, my 5 year old own one and it is a great playset. You can try the internet (tried to post a link from Toywiz.com but wouldn’t let me. You will overpay for it at $99!!
I just found all the new two pack galactic heroes at my local Target in Memphis Tn. I was a just about at every Target in the Memphis area looking for something else Star Wars and found the figures in Collierville Tn Target. Luminara, Jar Jar Binks, Mace Windu, Purple clone trooper, dwarf spider droid, padme and super battle droid. I thought they were coming out in early 2009 so I was suprised to see them.
I heard that 2009 wave was out from many people now but they arent around me in Chicago … I cant wait for them.
Aayla S. B. –
Any word on what else we can look forward to in ‘09? I’ve seen the pics of the Assault on the Death Star II set and the snowspeeder, but that’s about it.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been on the blog but I’m patiently awaiting the snowspeeder and new X-wing. Last year i found an entire display of the large MF but just bought one for the $35. I hate myself now!!! Anyway, I’ve created some 3′ x 3′ playsets for the GH line. If any superfans want to see them, drop me an email at davismb@lancsd.org . I’ll forward the pics. I made a death star, Mos Eisley with cantina, and Hoth! Pretty cool and durable for kids!
ety3: We will probably not know the new lineup of 2009 GH’s until February along with Toy Fair 2009. For now snatch the snowspeeder and the new two-packs (Windu, Luminara, etc) that I showed on the link on a previous post. I’ll pass on the assault 2, Aayla will kill me if she finds out that I own another X-Wing!! Happy New Year Everyone!!
I got the Millenium Falcon when it first came out in 2002, the Fisher Price series. I still have it, and I still love playing with it. It’s in good condition, it has a few smudges on it, but I refer to it as “battle scars,” cause that’s what they are, right?
Hey Mike Davis, is there a way you could post the pictures on a blog and then post the blog link here? I don’t feel comtable giving people I don’t know my e-mail, but I DO wanna see the pics.
There is heavy speculation about a TIE fighter coming out. AND if they did Slave 1, they could get 2 releases out, because they could set one out, then repaint the same mold (ESB and (AotC).
has anyone seen the packaging for the new hoth snowspeeder or new x-wing? if so could you post a link?
Jedi ds, see my post on August 7th above.
saw the toys just not the packaging/cinema scene they come in???? have you seen this anywhere?
Nope, they come out in February.
I know why Saesee Tinn’s head is detachable, and it is very cool of the Galactic Heroes creators to dive this deep into the Star Wars Universe. Saesee Tinn is a telepath and often the Chancellor would ask Tinn for his insight on matters that required telepathy. In the novelization of Revenge of the Sith, when the four masters go to arrest Palpatine, the Chancellor asks Tinn, “Tell me Master Tinn, what am I thinking now?” Then he leaps across the room and decapates Tinn. Lucas felt this was too graphic for the movie, and decided that a lightsaber blow to the chest would be a little less graphic. My hats off to Galactic Heroes for honoring Tinn’s true death.
Austin – I’d love to but am pretty new to blogging and don’t know how to attach the pics. I’d be happy to if I can figure it out. Do you know how to show them here?
I’m getting ready to make a multi GH playset. It will include Jabba’s Palace fot the upper level, the rancor pit for the the lower level, and the skiff with a homemade Saarlac as a side addition. I ahve no idea how I’m going to do it but I’d be happy to post pictures as I go along!
MD sounds like a plan looking forward to the pics, i thought your hoth playset was great …. i will email you some pics of simple custom figures i have made for both hoth and jabba’s palace if you like
Jedi DS. Please send the custom pics! I am thinking of make some custom Battle packs for GH with the Order 66. If you haven’t noticed, the new packs are sort of set like that: Ki-Adi- Mundi and galactic marine, plo Kon adn JAP pilot, Ayala Secure and Comander Bly, wookie and Commander Gree (other 2-pack with Yoda and kashyyk biker scout an final Obi-wan with an orange trooper. Hmmmmmm… Order 66 playsets are begging to be made.
Actually Mike, that’s Commander Bacura Ki-Adi’s with. But a regular snowtrooper would make a god Galactic Mrine if you don’t mind painting him red.
Austin, great idea with the galactic marine, any other ideas for repaints or customs for my collection?
Jedi ds, you gotta link me a pic of the Galactic Marine if you paint it, I wanna see. I have another idea. You could make a 4-arm Grievous.
I’m also making a few pictures of the Battle of Kashyyyk. It’ll be lots of fun!
Austin, thanks for the correction. I’ve been working a lot lately. I should have proofread! Can anyone send me instructions how to attach pics to the blog?
