I thought the second pack was called the Yavin Pilots pack??

Hell those Yavin Pilots... Aside from really hard core fans who really wants a Jek Porkins action figure?

If they're going to charge 39.99$ for the Scout Trooper with Speeder Bike vehicle exclusive why not 69.99$ for a set of five Ewoks?

TRU's choice to price these things so high, in this econmically troubling and frustrating time is sheer lunacy. Nobody but Scalpers are going to go after these things if they think they can turn around a profit on them by selling them overseas to places that won't be getting these sets.

It puts these sets firmly out of my price range that's for sure, I'd rather have them priced within my budget and gone/sold off fast to other collectors before I can find them than have them languish around for seven months or more like TVC TPM stuff has been doing which hurts the retail presence of SW and might cause TRU to think twice about similar themed exclusives in the future than sit staring at something I can't have simply because they've priced it so asininely high.

54.99$ is something I'd expect to see on a high-end G1 Re-Issue Transformers Exclusive, not a bunch of repaint Ewoks.

awesome comment ....

Probably is.

As for the pricing, these are currently just shy of $42 at Toys"R"us on sale. Toys"R"us knows that most people are going to wait for a sale.

Saw the X-Wing Packs at my local TRU but not the Ewoks, I might consider them once I see them.
