Walmart has finally updated their planogram/aisle reset plans to include the much-neglected Vintage Collection. As you’ve read here and elsewhere, TVC has been relegated to wherever employees stick them as there was no official peg location for them, thus finding them in clearance sections and other unrelated areas of the store.

We’ve received multiple reports regarding the 20% off Star Wars toys (and other items) ad that dropped on Sunday. Due to the vagueness of the terms of the ad, customers/collectors are having to get a managerial override for their purchase(s) to take advantage of the discount. Based on a conversation with Target Guest Experiences, the ad can be determined as misleading and stores should honor the 20% discount on any Star Wars purchase(s). Customers can call Target at 1-800-440-0680 to inquire about the promotion and how it can be interpreted as misleading.
K & C Collectibles has received New: Vintage Collection 3.75 figures, Moloch Black Series 6″ Action Figures and Darth Vader Voice Changer. Click the NEW PRODUCTS link under the Categories Section for a complete list of recently added items.
