New Product Continues to Trickle Out
Hasbro’s theoretical street date of Jan. 30 continues to be ignored. We’re receiving reports daily of collectors finding new products at their local Target and Walmart stores. In fact, today I managed to score myself the entire Vintage TPM wave and New Clone Wars assortment at Walmart. Remember, persistence pays off sometimes, but it also costs an arm and a leg too.
Episode 329: A Fistful of Figures
Last week on The High Cost of Collecting Marjorie and Arnie ran down Hasbro’s plans for 2012, which includes new lines of toys, as well as higher prices. This week, the hosts of the Star Wars Action News podcast play some listener voicemails discussing their thoughts on collecting in 2012.
And 2012 is here, and despite Hasbro’s street date of January 30th, new figures and vehicles are being found on a daily basis. Some stores are preparing for a major release, and even if your local stores don’t have the items on shelves many are available to ship now online! Listen to this week’s episode to find out where you can get new Vintage Collection, Movie Heroes, and exclusive figures now!
With a run down of store clearance sales and more, it’s all on this week’s Star Wars Action News Podcast!

Sponsor News: Big Bad Toy Store
Here is a quick update from bigbadtoystore.com about some great new arrivals and cool new pre-orders.
TVC TPM Wave Packaging Variants
It seems that this wave, though barely unofficially out (let alone officially), already has variant packaging. Cases of the The Phantom Menace wave have hit Walmart without the Darth Maul Giveaway/Promo sticker nor do they include the mailaway entry forms packed in the bubble. You can check out a shot of this in our forums courtesy of member Jedighost009.
TVC Deleted Scene Images at Sandtroopers
It’s a month before Toy Fair so what better time to spoil some of Hasbro’s fun with a first look at carded shots of the Blu-Ray Deleted Scene wave of Vintage Collection figures. Head on over to Sandtroopers.com for images of Luke Skywalker (Lightsaber Construction), Princess Leia (Sandstorm Outfit), Lando Calrissian (Sandstorm Outfit), Colonial Cracken (Millennium Falcon Crew), Rebel Pilot (Mon Calamari) and more!
