Jedi Temple Archives - OTC Jawa Sandcrawler Hits Media Play

We have received a store report that the entertainment retailer, Media Play, has gotten in a shipment of the OTC Sandcrawlers. We received the report from a reader that works for one of the stores:

"Hello, I got some news you may be interested in. I work for a store called Media Play, and one of the guys in the Toy Section told me about a new item that was on the shelf. He knows I am a big Star Wars fan, so he keeps me informed of what they get in. So I made my way over to the Star Wars section, and low and behold, I find a Jawa Sandcrawler. I was a little shocked to see it there, as I knew it was suppose to be avaialble online only. Thinking that noone would believe me, I brought my camera in the next day and took a picture of it. Thankfully noone noticed me, as that would have been a tough one to explain. The price was $59.99, which is a lot more than I paid for mine online, including shipping."

This is an interesting find for sure. The sandcrawler as everyone knows was at one time a Target Exclusive, but for various reasons the deal fell apart. So Hasbro made the Sandcrawler available to Diamond Comic Distributors. This is the first time that I have heard of the Sandcrawler making its way to a mainstream retailer. Many Thanks to Derrick for the heads up!

*Update*
Pete has reminded me that the Sandcrawler has shown up on ToysRUs.com. I change my ealier statement to I have not heard of the Jawa Sandcrawler at the actual brick and morter stores.
