We’ve all been frustrated with the Star Wars retail situation over the past 12+ months – and Target has been one of the worst culprits places of all. What used to be a haven for new figures has become the land of the pegwarmers due to the tidal wave of Episode One product that Hasbro pushed last year.
Recently, Target clearanced out their TVC figures… but then today while on a toy run, I came across an interesting find at my local Target… for more details, click here.
Target stores are receiving the latest Figher Pod sets consisting of Jango Fett’s Slave One and a Geonosian Fighter – each set comes with eight mini figures. The sets are priced at $14.99. This one’s for the kids – and is a pretty cool item for an Easter present for the little ones.
Forum member Grimace has shared some great pics of various customs he has acquired from the “Droids” and “Ewoks” cartoons. Check them all out after the jump!
For all you customizers, don’t forget about the Episode VII Customizing Challenge we are hosting with our friends at Imperialshipyards!
This one is easy – all you need to do is create a custom figure of something you think we might see in the upcoming film, and post it in our forums! And if you post it in the forums at both sites, you have doubled your chances of winning a great prize!

Before Hasbro’s failed appoach with Movie Heroes, there was a time that the Big H consistently put forth quality figures in the Legends lineup – which appealed to both collectors and kids (did you forget that crossover appeal is important, Hasbro?).
And while Hasbro’s supply exceeded market demand with the Legends line, these figures were in much higher demand than the subpar Movie Heroes line… as there are still many desireable figures from the old Legends assortments – some of which are still showing up at TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores – priced at $4.99 each.
Your mileage may vary, but these sure do beat the uninspired Movie Heroes lineup from 2012 (at least in my book).
