Has anyone heard anything lately about the Silver Anniversary R2? Nicklab? I called my local Toys 'R Us, but they didn't know anything about it  . |

OK, the RUMOR I hear on the Silver R2 is this....
-It will be a promotional gift handed out with a purchase of $20 or more
-The production run will be aroun 70,000 pieces
-The release may coincide with the release of the EPISODE II DVD.
-It will only be available at retail at Toys R Us stores.
I'm workign on getting confirmation on all of these issues.

THEY'RE HERE!!!
My local TRU had the Silver Anniversary R2's today, and I picked up three! So run down to your local store, they probably have them.

Well, they were doing the givaway thing at TSQ TRU, I dropped in today and there they were, I got a ship for 19.99 and got one and then decided that I should get another so I goa a landspeeder and got a second. The promotion is buy $19.99 or more of Hasbro SW toys and get one free! I didn't see anything about any for sale. They said they had a good supply of them.

drat.....
I was not seeing them so I bought one on e-bay because I thought that you had to spend $100.00 to get one....grrr....
at least I wasn't as bad as some idiot who paid $72.00 at auction for one of them.......
also...everytime I asked at customer service...no one knew anything about them!

Yeah, that was my problem too! They either didn't know anything about them, or were told to say that they didn't. I found all the info on TF.N, and then just kept checking at TRU. And, sorry if I confused anyone, but I had to buy $19.99 worth of merchandise for each figure too. The only place you can just buy the R2 is on www.tru.com, for $9.99. I picked up the electronic 12" Obi-Wan, the really hugh Luke and Tauntaun figure, and a 12" Zam. |

I don't think they have a direct link to them yet. Check out theforce.net link I posted, then click on the word Amazon under the R2 story and it should take you to the right page.

The back of the package is marked "NOT FOR RETAIL SALE" Promotion Only! Watch out for the ones on EBay they were stolen from TRU last spring, that was part of the hold up, they were supposed to be out at the release of the AOTC toys. Nobody at TRU was really told anything until a couple of days before they came out. So said all the guys that I talk to a TSQ.
