Today I was able to score the new Hoth Box Sets at Target, and was told by a manager that there was a limit of two per customer. If anyone else has experienced this or can back this up, please share your thoughts in the forums.

Defense of Hoth/Attack on Hoth Battle Pack Images
Yakface forum member “leebo” has posted some great loose images of the Target exclusive Defense of Hoth and Attack on Hoth Battle Packs in our forums. Head on in to see what is new and different in the two sets.
New Hoth Battle Packs Found
News is coming in that collectors have already begun to find the new Target Exclusive Battle Packs, retailing at $39.99. Be on the lookout if you’re wanting to add the Rebel or Imperial set to your collection – and it never hurts to try the DPCI trick, which is 087-06-2249 as both sets share the same number.

ToyMan is Back – September 26
ToyMan is back in St. Louis once again this Sunday, September 26! This popular collector show is often patrolled by the 501st Legion and has a great variety of dealers with countless toy lines available.
You never know what you’ll find but there’s always a ton of Star Wars items ranging from vintage to the latest Hasbro releases. So if you’re in the St. Louis area, head to Toymanshow.com for more details.
Update: Damaged Boba Fetts Galore
Reports are coming in that collectors are receiving the vintage rocket firing Boba Fett… however so far it looks like most people are receiving these in very poor condition. Head on over to the forums to share your thoughts.
Update: Yakreader Jeff wrote in to say he contacted Hasbro Consumer Affairs Division (1-800-327-8264) regarding his damaged Fett. They offered to send him a replacement and a return label for his damaged one. Might be worth a call if you are in the same situation.
