Store reports at Coreplanets.com have indicated that after the great purge of TVC pegwarmers at Target stores, the result so far is mostly Wave 5 being stocked… and sure enough, I saw the same thing today.
While we greatly appreciate that Hasbro has taken some action to get rid of all those 4-LOMs, Dengars and yellowing oversized bucket head Clone Troopers, we don’t think that seeing Wave 5 showing up again is a great sign. Our hope is this is either isolated to certain distribution centers, or will be limited to a case per store – because there are too many good figures in the later waves that are too hard to find.
Agree? Disagree? Either way, share your thoughts in the forums!
It seems that in addition to some Galactic Heroes merchandise, TJ Maxx stores are also getting in overstock of the Clone Wars Deluxe figures from last year – priced at $9.99, you may want to swing by your local TJ Maxx store if you have one in your area to see if there’s any deals on Star Wars items such as these.
Following our report a few days ago on the Target Exclusive Clone Wars Battle Packs being marked down, it appears that Target stores are actually raising the price on the Hidden Enemy set, while marking down only the Hostage Crisis companion set.
Seems odd, but could this scheme be related to their upcoming The Search for Luke Skywalker set?
See what we’ve uncovered and share your thoughts on this development after the jump!
Target stores are starting to clear out their old exclusive Clone Wars Battle Packs, hopefully to make room for their upcoming Fall exclusives.
As always your mileage may vary, but if you’re in the market for marked down figures, you might want to check those clearance endcaps next time you’re in a Target store!
Hasbro’s purge of Wave One and Wave Two Vintage pegwarmers that have been killing the line has hit the St. Louis area, as today I discovered a store that is starting to finally see some relief from this distribution nightmare. The pegs were bare! Crazy to think that seeing EMPTY PEGS is a positive sign!
Let’s hope this becomes a common occurrence around the country, and that the measures Hasbro is taking to try and save the line pays off – share your thoughts in the forums!
Recently Yakface forum member TK1945 shared an amazing custom project in the forums – a Scout Class Jawa Sandcrawler!
This thing is huge – just imagine an official Hasbro Sandcrawler anywhere near this size! As that may never happen, fans like TK1945 can make up for it in their own way with efforts like this – check out all the pics he has shared after the jump!
With Hasbro phasing out the Galactic Heroes line, it was only a matter of time before the AT-AT would begin to get marked down or find their way to discount stores… they have now been found at TJ Maxx stores for the great price of $19.99. So if you’ve been considering picking one up, and have one of these stores in your area, this might be a good time to make an extra stop on your next toy run.
The ToyMan Collector Show is back in St. Louis on Sunday, September 25th. 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.
Today we pay our respects to those that were lost and those that are still fighting in the light of September 11, 2001. Thank you and God Bless.
