Target Exclusive 3-pks – Price Hike!

While checking out a clearance endcap at Target today, I saw a vintage 3-pk marked down to $9.98 (or something like that)… I had bought a few of these last week at the same store for this price, and decided to scan this one on the off chance it was marked down to 75% off now… instead, it rang up at $24.99!  This was the old, dusty Needa-Dengar-AT-AT Driver set…  strange, eh?

And also today, according to our friends at Jedidefender.com, this is a new DPCI number, 087-06-1172 – hopefully soon we’ll find out more details regarding some sets of new figures… though the price increase certainly isn’t welcome!

Hunting down Hasbro’s new 2012 figures can be a blast, but sometimes an even more rewarding aspect of the hobby is creating your own customs – and Yakface forum members have been busy doing just that!
