With over 180 dealer tables, you never know what Star Wars, GI Joe, or Transformers items you might find, and often at great prices. For more details, click on the image above.
TJ Maxx & Marshalls Continue to Deliver
Finding new Star Wars items at the big retailers is hit or miss these days, even so close to Christmas – but stores like TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Five Below continue to stock some treats, and at great prices – today I saw yet another Rebel Transport Speeder at TJ Maxx – and it’s pretty hard to beat the $9.99 price tag.
The pickings may be slim, but don’t give up toy run hope this holiday season, as these discout stores are still getting some great stuff in!

Deluxe Dropships Landing
One of the cooler deluxe items from the Clone Wars has started showing up in heavier numbers recently, with sightings at various Wal-Mart and Target stores. Keep your eyes peeled for this one as two of the three times I’ve seen it, it’s been stuffed behind dust collecting Darth Maul speeders and also some STAP vehicles.
Of course if you don’t luck out and find one soon, there’s always a good chance that you’ll see these dumped at places like TJ Maxx and Marshalls next year…
Older Waves Continue to Surface
By most accounts, this has been a dismal year at retail for the Star Wars line, starting with a massive overproduction of the first wave of vintage, followed up by Hasbro carrying forward far too many TPM figures in subsequent waves that ended up creating a terrible logjam at retail – so many amazing figures this year have been nearly impossible to score at retail thanks to this disaster.
However, there are still rays of hope, as with Christmas rapidly approaching, retailers are beginning to stock the pegs a little more frequently with waves we expected to be able to find over the summer (better late than never, right?).
If you’re brave enough to fight the crowds at retail, and are persistent enough, you just might be able to score a few late gems this year – I’ve personally seen the Evazan wave three different times (all at different retailers) over the past two weeks, and other forum members are reporting similar finds.
