Deal Details
Remember those Star Wars drones with the cool boxes. I thought they stopped making them, that's why they were $30-$35 on clearance at many places. Today I saw them at Costco. The packaging is new so this can't be the old stock. The sign said available on costco.com as well but I couldn't find them. PLU is 1363602.

OP, what part of the country do you live in? They could only be available locally.

I spoke to an employee at Costco last night (this promo is in my store in CA - see picture attached) and it's a national promo. It doesn't appear to be online yet but is definitely in stores.

This is NOS. It's not a new run, but leftovers from 2017 according to the copyright. It appears to be the international version from all the stickers on the bottom. It's still FCC approved but the FCC is at the end of the list. From the distributor sticker, these were distributed out of Hong Kong. At my store they are flying off the pallet. I was there when they brought it over yesterday, I watched a woman grab all three kinds. Today the pallet was down to about half the size.

These indeed do not have the cool collector's box. The way it's packaged is crazy. There are like 6 little boxes inside that big box. Unfortunately, the box for the drone is a tad small for the speeder bike. The rider's head pushes against the lid. They knew it so put a little plastic sticker there so that the cardboard box doesn't rub the paint off the helmet. My controller had some mars on it, if the rest of it wasn't in new condition I would think it was a refurb. But I think it was just poor QC on the controller. The product overall is very premium. Much more than the $30 pricetag would suggest. This was $150 when they first came out. It shows. The little drone is almost to pretty to fly. It's a great display piece.

To those that found these, were they with electronics or somewhere random in the warehouse?

They are in a middle isle of the store towards the meats / cheeses sections in the Rochester, NY store

Bought one in IL today and it looks really cool, but out of ther box it would not fly properly for me, immediately pulls forward and to the right without me pushing anything. First drone maybe I need to adjust propellers or something.
