Sales @ Walmart.com
For the past several weeks, Walmart.com has had some amazing rollback prices on a number of Star Wars figures. If you’ve been considering stocking up on army builders or customizing parts, you might want to take advantage of these deals before they are gone – (the Sandtrooper, for example, has now sold out).
More TLJ Shippers Arriving at Walmart
While many Walmart stores started receiving aisle displays of fresh product prior to Christmas, there are still some stores just now starting to put these displays out. Be on the lookout in your area.
Personal Note: I don’t understand why Hasbro doesn’t utilize these displays to fill them up with brand new figures from the 3.75″ line; instead it feels like they are dooming the retailer as it’s more Finn, Rose, Hux and Poe that are destined to warm the pegs and prevent new waves from showing up. That upcoming Wampa would also be a much more welcome site than more Rathtars.
