I saw Chewie at a walmart today. Didn’t feel like picking him up, tho

So awhile ago, I mention the Chewbacca box is larger and is likely $30 dollars, I was wrong.
It’s actually $35, the same price as General Grievous:

I can’t believe something like this is comparable to Grievous (while yes Chewy has more prints and coverage, it still a departure from value):

Someone needs to compare Chewy and Greevy side by side and post pictures of them, only then can we start precieving the actual matter in a better light.
I apologize for the fact that you didn’t know that until know, as I said that Chewbacca was 35 USD over a month ago in this topic. Oops.

I can see what you’re saying, but Chewie has almost 20 more parts than Vader (who is $30), and only has 7 pieces less than Grevious, and is actually pretty close in height, from what I can see in this review from Brickset.
That said, Grevious still feels like a much better deal for $35. And Chewbacca’s amount of prefab parts compared to Grevious’ is very disappointing.

Also want two Vaders to be compared at some point.

Yeah, Chewbacca isn’t incredible, but I would definitely say that he’s worth 30 USD. He’s taller than Vader by almost two inches, and he lacks a lot of the bizarre proportional issues that Vader had while still including a custom torso build, tons of recolors, and solid poseability. He’s not terrible by any mean; probably somewhere near the 70th percentile of all SWC sets thus far, if 100th represents the best.
We’ll see what we can do once that, y’know, stops being physically impossible. 
EDIT: No idea what the heck is wrong with the boards and their image encoding…
EDIT 2: Image embed removed, now linked directly to my hosted copy.
Uh…
EDIT 3: Check out these eBay listings, including 75530 Chewbacca for 23 USD, including shipping. They’re auctions, but one of us would probably win. Also, I tracked down thie awesome promotional spot that includes the new figures.
By the way, TLG did some really, really weird, uncanny promotion here.
