Topic: Klatoonian Raider AT-ST Best Buy Exclusive

[Darth More]

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.

[Tamer]

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!

[Darth More]

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!

[Tamer]

Yeah, I was glad to order one. Hope it ships well.

If they go on sale I might get another.
