I am trying to download the high rez and boxed images Hasbro sent me, but my internet is on an outage still (over a week) so stay tuned folks.

Couldn't get into Facebook, but was able to get em loaded to google.

Don't care if I already have 13(?) of these..
THIS one... I have to Have! The fact that its $80 and a best buy exclusive (strange to me... Always will be) means it won't be a big seller so that $25 Gift card I have will finally be used after years and years of holding on to it.
-
I am so jonesing for this walker, but I still can't seem to give in to the tempation to get it even though it is now sixty five dollars on sale at Best Buy. If I hadn't gotten so many versions of this, on clearance at that, maybe I would bite and it is in a vintage box, with a new figure, but still. Anyone have it yet?
-
Hope I can add this one to my Collection, soon. Wish you all best luck with any clearance deals @BestBuy!

Same here I got like 12? Of them from that TBS release since my WalMarts put them like $15 and less. I just knew it was a one-time thing since repaints alone would be amazing... Much like when 5bellow got the TLJ A-wing.

Still checking in over $60!

I think it's only going to go up in price. I saw the Klatoonian by himself going for $80 on Ebay.
-
RC you could be correct with how popular the show is. I might just give in and get it.
-
Still on the fence with this one as the eBay prices slowly go up. It is still full price on bestbuy.com.
I see they have a hot wheels version of this vehicle now too.
-
I was able to snag one at a good price. Here is to hoping it isn't in a rough box (couldn't tell very good from the pics).
AT-AT's are my thing. I couldn't not have this with that and I really, really like the Mandalorian. Pics when I get it which should be by the middle of the week.
-
They put a shipping label on the vintage box and shipped it! It of course showed up damaged.
As I drag my hand over my face in frustration. Does anyone explain vintage packaging to retailers/etailers?
-
That's a bummer dude, as a box collector myself I feel your pain 😢 ..does this one stand up any better? (If you have taken it out the box)
-
No, I am returning it and getting my money back. That is just too much money to write off even when I got it on what they call a clearance price.
I am still trying to decide if I want to try and order another. If I do, I don't think it will be from Best Buy.

Here we go again...
Amazon Germany still had this one listed as "currently unavailable". So I decided to ask Hasbro's customer service a second time for a possible re-release of this vehicle. The German team answered me right the next morning at 6:50 am(!). They told me that they have no insight into any product lineups and therefore don't know.
Since this was exclusive to Best Buy, I didn't even look for the Raider here in Germany.
Somehow Amazon had sold it for about 60€, but it was too late for me already. I placed 3 orders hoping they'd get more stock. But all 3 order were cancelled without even notifying me.
Tonight they updated the listing and made it available to purchase once again.
I'd take it for 90 bucks immediately, but keep my hopes close to 0 that it'll actually ship.

I too am still looking for this, but halfheartedly.
If I see it and its not nuts I will get it.
-
Well, if Amazon cancel my order once again and Hasbro won't re-release it, I hope that some day I can at least trade one for an Antoc Merrick's X-Wing...I'm not paying 200 bucks for the AT-ST that was sold for 65 not too long ago.
-
Yeah, guess I should have kept the beat up box one that I got, but sent back.
Not a bad idea to keep one of these X-Wings to trade.
-
Well, I didn't look for the AT-ST Raider back then because it was a BestBuy Exclusive and we don't have them here in Germany. For some odd reason though Amazon Germany had it for as low as 67€ for MONTHS! But I didn't see it, so I missed it completely.
I wrote to the Hasbro consumer service in Germany and the USA and I got a response that they might consider it and thanked me for the feedback.
As it turned out, I probably wasn't the only one asking for a re-issue now they got the tooling heated up with the Endor AT-ST:

Hopefully the make it available to mainstream retailers!
-
Yes, that would be nice. It's not yet available anywhere outside HasbroPulse USA. So I placed my pre-order yesterday to have it shipped nationally and to pick it up in Michigan next Summer.
So looking forward to finally add it to my Mando dedicated shelf.
If it becomes available at Amazon here in Germany and drops under 70€, again, I might get a second one. But for now I'm a very happy camper!
-
Yeah, I was glad to order one. Hope it ships well.
If they go on sale I might get another.
