When Star Wars Ruled the Toy Aisle

While cleaning out my hard drive, I came across some photos from December 2009 that I had snapped that showed what was on the pegs back then at various retailers.  Head to the forums to check them out.

Personal Note:  What a difference five years makes!  What we see now, in my opinion, is the direct result of very poor management of the Star Wars brand since the 2012 line… questionable figure selections, shoddy case ratios, drops in quality, weird gimmicks aimed at kids, and focus away from the lifeblood of the line – the 3.75″ toys.
