Forum moderator localgotal has done it again with yet another amazing mockup in his popular Concept Series lineup.
This week we are treated to a double feature, which entails two great deluxe ideas that we really wish Hasbro would make. One of these is so amazing that it almost brings a tear to my eye. Check it out, and make your voice heard if you support such ideas by sounding off in the forums!
If you’re like me, you enjoy checking out the after Christmas clearances at Target… those toys are starting to disappear now though, as many stores now have the remainder of their clearance toys at 50-70% off. So if you’ve been holding out on getting sets like the Rise of Darth Vader battle pack for a great price, now may be the time before they’re gone.
Yakfinities #50: The Original Trilogy has wrapped up, and we had well over 100 entries, making this one of the best customizing challenges yet! Plus, not only did we have the standard random winners receiving prizes, but we also had two Grand Prize winners walking away with the Amazon Exclusive Droid Factory Wave!
We’ve got another great Concept Series mockup by localgotal, which entails another great group of figures that Hasbro should release in a multi-pack. I can only wonder how much better the Star Wars brand might be doing at retail these days if ideas such as these were actually available at retail by the folks at Hasbro rather than many of the decisions they’ve made the past couple years. Head on over to the forums and share your thoughts!
Reports have been showing the second wave of Legends figures popping up at some Toys”R”us stores.
I’m happy to report that St. Louis can be added to the list of sightings now, as I was able to score a couple of the new Stormtrooper (two in total, across two stores).
Personal Note: This guy will be hard to army build at one per case, but hopefully Hasbro realizes that this is one 5POA figure that definitely is in demand, and will do something good about it.
Wal-Mart stores are starting to receive the second wave of Mission Series 2-pks. Priced under $10, these would have been a great Christmas gift a few weeks ago… but hey, better in January than not at all, right? Your mileage may vary, but next time you’re by a Wal-Mart it may be worth checking to see if they have them.
The first Yakfinities Customizing Challenge of 2014 is underway! This should be a fun one, so get out those customizing supplies and show us what you’re capable of!
Reminder: Yakfinities #50 results will be posted next week.
We’ve got another great Concept Series mockup by localgotal, which entails a group of figures that Hasbro should release in a multi-pack. I contend that fans of Star Wars would rather see sets like this than Geonosis Jedi packs. What do you think? Would you fork over your hard earned dollars for sets like these?
