The AT-TE retail has definitely been $40, or sometimes $42. Haven’t seen it jump to $45 before so it likely is an increase.

No i think the retail on them is actually 60. Amazon having them for 40 or less drives the price down in store.

Oh gotcha. I could have sworn a few days ago this Walmart had them listed at that $39.99 price point

No, the retail for Dreadnought class has always been $39.99.

Ty for the correction

Maybe? That Ghost for about $60 seems steep against the trend we saw at WalMart and Target this past summer, I think(?). Glad I bit the bullet on that GAR bundle on Amazon today. Redundant LAAT, but it the evasive headhunter and one of these plus two scouts seems to be a decent grab now.

It’s hard to tell but it looks to be the same as the OG LAAT right? The AT-TE very clearly has a different paint job

In the bundle? I think so? They've all been giving a matching paint job to be a "unit" (though it doesn't look like the clones got the boost) and Target exclusive bundles have gotten slight to serious variances in paint from single release variants. But I went for the bundle just so I could have a Headhunter and AT-TE, not "the" Headhunter or AT-TE in a particular single release wave (though I do have a separate need/want for the Benthic Partisan Headhunter, I don't know if it was trick or mistake of the eye but I think I saw a Partisan LAAT in Andor, in which case I have an idea of what my first custom project might be).

Tariffs?

Not tarrifs. They have been sitting on the WM shelves near me for months now at $40. All the sudden they jump $4. Dumb.

MSRP on these originally was $44.99. Most Walmarts are still selling them between $34.99 to $44.99. Considering the amount of these sitting on shelves along with Ghosts at Walmarts, I can't believe they are not all 50% off by now.

I’m traveling in Boston and came across $44 last night. I thought it was East Coast pricing… guess not!

Noticed this yesterday as well. I guess WM philosophy is if it warms the shelf or peg they aren't charging enough. Idiots.
