I ordered two of these little guys off the web-site because the Toys R Us in my area did not receive any of these. I had no idea they'd stuff these figures into a box no bigger than enough to hold only one. Since I collect these kind of items, it was a major disapointment to see how bent up and akward shaped they arrived. And, since they were an exclusive, I can't return them for another one. So, I'm basically stuck with a figure I don't like looking at and can't even sell. If anyone reading this is going to order any important items, ONLY ORDER ONE ITEM if you want it delivered in good condition. Thanks Amazon!

Once again the bottom dollar has taken a good thing and ruined it. For some reason Amazon/Toys R Us still hasn't gotten the message that a little shipping wisdom goes a long way. Ordered one and it came jammed in the box - bent. What's the use of creating an exclusive if your gonna waste it on shotty shipping practices.

Yup. That's it for me as well. My 2 figures arrived in record time, but packed short-ways in a long box. Sure....it prevented movement. However, to make this fit, they had to be jammed down and it completely bent the top of the figure packaging. This is the 3rd time I've had figures destroyed by the S&H process. Amazon: This is not a cost issue! There was sufficient packing here....just no care. I'll pay a premium with another vendor or even on the secondary market. Good bye!

If TRU.com somehow acquired the exclusive rights to produce all things Star Wars, I would quit collecting Star Wars. I have NEVER ordered anything from TRU.com that did not have to be returned for a replacement. NEVER! After SIX times, there will not be a number seven.

I HOPE that you folks learned a lesson and I HOPE that those who are interested in this figure read these reviews. There is only ONE way to get this unacceptable practice to stop - and that's to stop giving TRU.com our money. If more collectors demand better, we will get better. Until then, get used to it.

When in doubt, spend a couple of extra bucks, go to an online retailer or eBay seller you know and trust and get your piece of mind and your collectible figure intact. www.alliancecollectibles.com; www.cloudcitycollectibles.com; and others. They'll do you right.

Unfortunately I am also a victim of bad shipping practices for this figure. The box arrived in excellent condition but when I opened it the 2 figures were jammed in short ways and were both bent and creased. The box was plenty long enough for both of the figures to safely ship in so why stuff them into the box short ways and destroy them??? I won't be buying any more figures from here...until I am convinced there shipping practices have improved.

I was spread thin on the evening of April 1st, 2005. I had to work and then make a decision as to where i was going to spend my Star Wars Merchandise launch night! TRU and Target lost out to the online sales and Wal-Mart...So I was VERY excited when TRU and Target put their exclusives online!
I immediately ordered one of the Holo Yodas....ONE, MIND YOU!
It can CRAMMED into a box of insufficient size and was bent on all corners of the packaging...Now, the popular philosophy by some is that these are action figures....toys and therefore meant to be played with....I do not disagree....completely...But in the instances of EXCLUSIVES....Most adult collectors (because, let's face it...those are the target audience of exclusive merchandise for these toy lines...) want their exclusives to be sealed and in the best condition possible....
Well, forget about that from TRU.com!
This thing is ridiculously bent and I am Very upset!
Of course they are gone from this website and now I have to take my chances at my local TRU stores and see if they have any left....then I have to buy $25 worth of stuff and hope to get one more that is in decent condition.
Bottom Line...Be warry of TRU online's shipping...
Expect your items to be bent and if they come in tact, you win!

What I'm getting tired of are these so called "exclusives" of Star Wars products intending to get collectors into as many stores as possible. It used to work on me, but no more. I'm tired of going online or into a store only to find out they are all gone. Unlike a lot of Star Wars collectors, I do have a life and I can't be at every store the minute it opens to grab them up. Hasbro and George Lucas should be ashamed for the way these products are marketed. Basically, they are taking Star Wars away from a lot of true fans and putting it into the hands of greedy scum who then turn around and sell it online for at least two or three times what they gave for it. Well, I don't need it that badly. Collecting is not even fun anymore, and shouldn't that be the whole point?

This is so much better than the Obi Wan Kenobi figure that was offered some time back. Just the fact that Hasbro included the Light Saber to be clear makes this exclusive figure a true gem. I highly recommend this product to Star Wars collectors.

This item is ridiculously overpriced. I've seen this figure elsewhere for less that $20. I would not pay no more than $12 for it.

This yoda ws a big disappointment. I ordered mine from Amazon and it was packed okay, but when I opened it I was disappointed to find that its legs were put on the figure backwards. I went to my local Toys R Us when they got their shipment hoping to get another, but all of them had backwards legs too.

Furthermore, there is no peg hole in the bottom of the feet for a peg and yet the figure comes with a stand with a peg. Where's the logic there?

By the way, they were selling them for $9.99 at my local Toys R Us - no need to buy the $25 dollars in stuff unless you wanted the Yoda for free.
