Woohoo! I was visiting my grandparents and I made a stop at TRU on the way home and I found one! The store actually had 6 of them out on the shelves. Maybe this "exclusive" isn't going the way the Target 12" Speeder is. Here's hoping.

Congrats! That's exactly the way I found mine. I came back a few days later and the 5 or 6 Dewbacks were gone! We should both consider ourselves lucky. If we'd shown up at our respective TRUs a couple of days later they would have been gone!
So, have you opened the box yet? I still haven't gotten around to it. :(

Yup, I opened the box. It wasn't in mint condition anyway, so what the heck. The Dewback is huge! It looks pretty funny next to my 12" biker scout and speeder! ;)

Yeah, I wonder why Target was able to sell the 12" Speeder and Biker Scout for $50, but TRU sold the Dewback for $80?

The dewback is a heavier toy than the speeder, but it still shouldn't have rung up at $80. $60-$70 would have been much more reasonable. But TRU know that if they keep the orders small enough, the collectors will come. I hope these do start collecting dust. It would be nice if some other collectors got lucky and picked them up for half price this X-Mas.

If the Dewbacks dropped down to half price, I would consider getting a couple more. I am happy that I was able to get all 3 12" exclusives, tho. 1 of each is fine with me.

You found Maul with his Speeder already? Lucky bastard! I've been hitting WalMart EVERY morning on my way to work and I've come up empty. I did score a 12" Mace yesterday morning. Gotta love those Jedi Council figures. Well, it's only a matter of time before I find Maul. What did you think of him?

I don't have my 12" Maul w/Speeder in hand yet. I guy who I buy from a lot off eBay offered it to me before he put it up. I didn't feel like haunting Walmart so I took him up on his offer. I should have Maul by the end of the week. I'll be sure and post a review when I get 'em. :)
