You think your toy runs are frustrating…
Just yesterday, I came across a rare sight – a TVC Darth Malgus at my local Target. After posting this recent find in our forums, Yakface reader Darth Bobo shared a Malgus find as well… but not exactly what he was hoping for. Head on over to the forums for a closer look.
Personal Note – In this instance, the swapper put in a pretty decent B.A.D. figure in the Sith Lord’s stead (perhaps out of some sort of sense of guilt?), but figure swapping isn’t acceptable, regardless of what figure is replaced in the packaging.
Update: Black Series Limited Availability?
Fans have already been skeptical about the upcoming Black Series due to the uninspired assortment of figures we’ve seen so far.
And now, our friends at Jedi Temple Archives are reporting some potentially disturbing news with the future of the Black Series. Nothing is confirmed yet, but it appears that retail-wise, Hasbro may only be distributing these figures to North America. Click here to read what they have uncovered. We are keeping our fingers crossed for our overseas friends that this is not the case.
EDIT: Enhance your calm everyone. Preview (Diamand Comic) will only be selling these to their existing accounts that reside US/Canada. Any other accounts will have to find other means of order fullfillment for these lines. – Jayson
