Just saw last week in Walmart, a number of huge Stormtroopers and Vader figs for sale. Didn't check the price, but they looked to be about 4' tall, so would be impressive for large-scale skirmish gaming, if you have a large conference room, or hall to set them up in. Sadly, didn't see any Rebel opponents yet, but imagine they'll be coming soon. Also, CVS has a 31" tall Vader figure as well, but he was about $50 USD, so I suspect the larger figs from Walmart might be a better deal. |

If they are the ones I saw, I was really disappointed that they are as pose able as the original 3-1/2" figures I got back in 1977. |

Saw them at Target the other day. They are selling for $80.00 USD so just slightly less than your average GW figure. |

Well, to be fair, they are nicely painted, unlike the GW figs. |

They are awful. I don't understand the design vs the cost. There should be a lot of articulation for that cost. Especially that size. |

Perfect size for a 8 to 10 year old to fight eye ball to eyeball. |

I'm seriously starting to think they are never meant to be taken out of the box. They're not a toy… … They're the perfect supplement to your underperforming 401k. |

$90 USD at my Walmart, so we're being robbed. |
