Hole in the Ground Pro Crowdfunding Extension
Hole in the Ground Pro has extended their deadline for injection molded diorama parts! If you like having some cool display pieces to fill in your action figure displays, then now is the time to help make this happen! Click HERE to get in on this collector campaign!
Personal Note: If the collecting community can’t fund this, we might have a very hard time finding future opportunity for such great items down the road from this small company or other entrepreneurs. Eric makes top quality product that is well worth the money. Let’s make this happen folks, it can open the door to even better stuff down the road!
Target Trooper 6-pk
Hasbro’s new Imperial Trooper 6-pk (exclusive to Target) is starting to show up at stores. If you don’t see it on the shelf you may find some success by kindly asking customer service if they can locate DPCI: 087-16-0135 and they might pull it for you from the stockroom. Good luck!

A Better TVC Outlook?
It’s still early in the return of TVC, but it appears as though we really could start seeing a resurgance with this line now that Walmart stores are starting to get in both Wave 2 and Wave 3 of TVC this month… but keep in mind, Target shoppers might be in for a dry spell with all the Wave 1 pegwarmers they are sitting on (thanks to the bad decision to repack so many figures in the first wave).
On any note, good luck on those toy runs and hopefully the disparaging times many 3.75″ collectors have been feeling for the past few years will soon be a thing of the past.
