I'm suprised Walmart is already selling below cost when the set first came out. Its a bit kiddish but I might get this just for Lotso. Thanks for submitting your review ! Poll added and front paged.

They've stopped selling it at that price. Their website now lists it at $20 and the three Walmarts that I have visited in the past month all list it at the $20 price point. It looks as though it was just a fluke in their pricing and somebody finally realized it.

Glad I was able to pick up when I did. I am keeping a few for when birthdays come up. Maybe in Xmas time these will go back down to 15$

Yeah, I'm kicking myself for not buying it when I saw it at Walmart for that price. For $15 dollars it is totally worth it but at $20 I'm skeptical. I would have jumped on it had I not seen Luke's Landspeeder there, which for some reason constantly evades me because I can never find it anywhere. For the price it was it was a good deal. The minifigures are kind of iffy to me though :|

After seeing this movie over the weekend and "getting" the point of this set more, I might buy it. I understand now why the driver looks like that, etc. And I like the characters you get with this...
