[CAN] 2011 Stars Wars spotted at TRU!

Post by hatcher » Thu Dec 16, 2010 10:35 am

Just popped into TRU on my lunch hour and spotted some of the new 2011 Star Wars sets!

They had Imperial V-Wing for $24.99 and Battle of Naboo for $34.99.

Edited to Add: That's the TRU in Barrie, Ontario.

Odd... the V-Wing only appears to be $2 above the price TRU currently has it set at in The States, but the 'Battle for Naboo' is nearly $10 more... what gives?

I saw at least 10 boxes of the clone bp, I honestly didn't look at hero factory, I was disappointed with them from 2010, that I haven't opened the von nebula I bought a few months back.

This makes no sense. Both are same size and one cost $10 more?

I always thought battle of naboo had like 5 figures or something. 12 minifigures would be why the reason of the inflated cost.

But I still remember the good old days in 2007 when there was the droid pack. $12.99 for 4 battle droids, 3 super battle droids, droid carrier and stap.
