AT-AT Inflation 2016

This past week Amazon.com briefly placed up for pre-order a handful of Rogue One action figure products.  Most notably among them was the Rogue One AT-ACT for $279.99. And while Hasbro has stated there would be no vehicle at the $300 range, it appears there will be one just shy of it.  Now this latest version of an AT vehicle includes brand new, never-before-seen features such as walking-action and smart phone interactivity but does that justify the enormous cost, especially for a child's toy? In order to examine this price jump more thoroughly we have graphed the cost of each four-legged AT (All Terrain) vehicle released since 1981 and adjusted that price for inflation to see what it would cost in 2016.  As seen above, no prior [...]

First Look at Rogue One’s Hasbro U-Wing Starfighter

A big thanks to reader and TOY RUN listener Evan D for sending us information about where to find images of Hasbro's upcoming  3 3/4" U-Wing Starfighter.  This new starfigther will be featured in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story later this year and just made its public debut a few weeks ago. Like each of the larger vehicles coming to the spinoff film's toy line, the U-Wing will include a Nerf dart feature.  It appears to also include a Cassian Andor action figure with blaster which is also a new reveal. The French website's description is rather generic and is as follows: STAR WARS - E7 CLASS HERO III STARFIGHTER VEHICLE A new vehicle on the scene with the NERF strike force! A magnificent ship to ship [...]
