Yakface reader “T-Bone” sends us a quick photo of an interesting error he found at his local Wal-mart. What you see above is an “UGH” Foil card variant that missed out on the foil stamping process. Click the photo above for a closer look.
Very cool find T-Bone!
Tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday, Toys”R”Us is offering a “Buy one, get one 50% Off” sale on Star Wars Legos sets. Deal valid in-store only.
Forum member Eopie Herder sends in a great report now that the ROTJ figures are hitting steadily. His local (North Carolina) Target as marked down the Vintage figures to $6.00! Hopefully this will clear the backlog/pegwarmers from prior waves as well. Check your local stores to see if they are observing this Temporary Price Reduction as well.

Some lucky collectors have had a nice early Thanksgiving treat at their doorsteps this week – the new Comic Pack figures! This final wave represents some of Hasbro’s finest work in this line, making it even more of a shame that this line wasn’t handled better.
Check out some loose images of the figures from this wave after the jump!
Note – Unfortunately many collectors are reporting that their orders have been moved back to December.
Reports are coming in that collectors are scoring the latest waves of animated figures this past week, mostly at Wal-Mart.
While prowling the pegs for Vintage Gamorreans, I saw some of the new Clone Wars figures firsthand, and was more impressed with these than most of their recent offerings… check out a few loose pics and judge for yourself if Hasbro is stepping up the quality on this line here.
