Darth Tater

[queenmum2]

Does anyone know the approximate retail price of Darth Tater at World of Disney? I'm thinking of asking my friend who is going down for T'giving of picking up a couple of things for my kids for Christmas. My kids - of course - are REALLY too old for Mr. Potato Head, so maybe it is just for me(!). I thought about getting the box-o-parts that is about $19.00. Then I thought DS would get a kick out of having Darth Tater.

So before I tell Scott to pick up both DT and the box-o-parts, I'd like to have an idea what I'm in for.

If you do not get an answer, you can always phone WDW Merchandising and ask.

I bought one a couple of years ago and I think it was in the $10 to $13 range. It was a gift for a student and I don't think I would have spent more than that amount.

keep in mind that darth tater is not theme park merchandise, he's available most anywhere that toys are sold.

there are park exclusive versions though of other characters.

Luke Frywalker!

So any idea the estimated price of those exclusives?

They're in the $10-$12 range. I want to say $10.95 or $11.95, plus tax. Highly collectible, too. I was surprised the other day to see all of them on the shelf at Once Upon a Toy at DTD -usually they are out of at least one or two of them.

Just in August, we picked up the box of parts at Once upon a toy at DTD with both Darth Vader and Stormtrooper parts. The pieces were huge; but the CM working there told us she had seen many people squeeze in both sets. We managed to get in Malificent's parts too.

Cool-o! I remember seeing this display in Once Upon a Toy, but didn't REALLY look. Can you give me an idea of other exclusive parts. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get my friends to fill a box, but I want to know if there are any specifics.

Thanks.

Wow - that's pretty reasonable. Just to be clear - are these the "full size" figures with the SW parts? Or are they just figurines? The Darth Tater was about $20 on Amazon.

when looking at items on amazon.com, note who the seller is. if it's not amazon.com, you may be buying from a collectible seller who is charging a premium.

in the case of darth tater, amazing plush is selling it for 20.45 + shipping (unless it's in an order over $25) while hammond toys is selling it for $21 shipped. always look at the right side column to see additional vendors/pricing.

But can I get the SAME thing from DTD for under $15?

Thanks again, you are a FOUNT of information!

if you were buying it in person, yes, it should cost less given you don't have to ship it. if you were to get it from WDW merchandising, they'd be charging you a minimum of $10 to ship it ground.

i think part of the problem might be that darth tater is out of production?

toys r us has him listed for $12 but 'temporarily' out of stock: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3105924

they do have the spud trooper and artoo in stock, also each for $12

I saw Darth Tater at Target.

I bought my Darth Tater and Spud Trooper at Walmart. I bought Luke Frywalker and Artoo Potatoo at DHS. They also have Indiana Jones and the Taters of the Lost Ark, in case you're interested.

These are the full sized (well, full sized for a potato head) potato head figures with the Star Wars parts.

Hey - were Indiana Jones and the Taters at DHS or at Walmart? I've got some shopping to do!

TYVM for the valuable info! I guess I need to get myself out to Walmart!

I picked up Indy at Walmart a while back for DH for Christmas. It was more than the Star Wars version though. This one talks when you press his hat. I think it was in the $18-$20 range, but don't really remember.

We also have Darth Tater (WM), Artoo Potatoo (DW) and Spud Trooper (WM).
