6″ Figures for 3 cents

Walmart has finally given up the glut of 6″ TBS figures from The Force Awakens and Rogue One – unable to sell some of these even at $5.00 each, some stores have lowered the price to mere pennies per figure in an effort to dump inventory (three cents each, to be exact).  Be on the lookout in your area, and you might find Brickseek helpful in your searches.

Solo: Slow Stocking

As many of our fellow collectors have experienced, retailers seem to be on their own schedule (feels like a store-by-store basis) on getting new product onto the pegs for Hasbro’s latest lineup of Star Wars merchandise.

So if you haven’t seen many signs of new stock yet, it might just mean the stores you are hitting just haven’t made it a priority yet.  I’ve seen this slow trickle in  my neck of the woods, then yesterday found a Target that had finally set aside some time and shelf space to get new items out.

So, don’t give up  too early – and share your finds too (or lack thereof) after the jump!

Target Exclusive 6″ Chewbacca (Vandor-1) Details

We have acquired the details (UPC/DPCI and release date) for the Target Exclusive 6″ Black Series Chewbacca (Vandor-1) from Hasbro. According to Brickseek and our contact at Target, collectors can expect it in early May for $19.99. We’ve updated our Master List for these details as well.

Thanks to TargetGod for the assist on this information.

Rumor Report: More Vintage Collection Figures

There is one 3.75″ Black Series figure that has been highly requested for re-release since it was so difficult to find when Walmart held its exclusivity. Collectors can breathe a sigh of relief that the Rogue One Scarif Stormtrooper will be getting the “TVC” treatment. Another character joining the collection is rumored to be Leia in Boushh Disguise. It is unknown if it’s an all-new version or repacked (from 2015) but is probably the latter as the line is balancing repacks with all-new sculpts. Expect these along side Yak Face and Klaatu in 2019*.

*I sure hope these don’t get cancelled.
