Rumor Reports Confirmed: New TLJ A-Wing and 2pk
As we speculated a couple days ago with our exclusive reveal, we can now 100% confirm that there is a new blue and white Resistance A-Wing (with no Nerf) coming for The Last Jedi. It includes the Force Link play feature as well as a female pilot in green flight suit named Tallie. The packaging also confirms our rumor of a new two pack which we teased here.
Per our report, the A-Wing should retail for $29.99 and the two pack should be $14.99.
Mega Playset Speculation
Seeing that a 3.75″ Star Destroyer playset for The Last Jedi is on the horizon, we can’t help but speculate on what this will end up looking like.
Will this be a dream playset that that captures the diorama essence of an epic movie environment like collectors have been begging for in the 3.75″ scale for over two decades now? Or will it feature over-exaggerated “play” features? Or could it be a well balanced mix? How big will it be? Will it feel worth the asking MSRP of $199.99?

Target Star Wars Clearance Sections
Recently, our friends at Jeditemplearchives shared news of Target’s plan to merchandise clearance Star Wars items in their very own planogram section.
While traveling today, I came across a Target store that had just reset their clearance Star Wars items following these corporate guidelines (this store also had an endcap filled with at least 30 more 5poa figures from TFA and Rogue One and a ton of Ezra speederbikes).
What kind of clearance selection are you all seeing at your local Targets? How low do these products need to go for customers to put them in their carts? Share your thoughts after the jump!
