Walgreens has added their exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Commander Obi-Wan Kenobi to their site. It went live earlier this morning but is now sold out. Hopefully you caught our notifications and links via our social media channels.
Update: Walgreens has completely removed the page from their site.
Along with the trailer come this gorgeous new theatrical poster for The Rise of Skywalker. Click the image above for a closer look.
There is now a revision to the TVC Princess Leia Organa (Yavin) figure hitting Target which addresses the incorrect VC164 number issued on the first production run. It’s now numbered VC150.
Thanks to @blueridgetoyhunter for the image.
The newest TVC wave has been found at Target in Tucker, GA as shown in the image above via a report from Jerry H.
A mysterious listing for C-3PO has surfaced in Target’s system. We do know that this figure is tied directly to the current Vintage Collection assortment’s DPCI (087-16-2097) so it also makes it a general release item, and not an exclusive. There are currently no details regarding newness or what film it may be sourced.
Thanks to TargetGod for the intel.
Walmart.com has the TVC Mimban Stormtrooper on rollback for the incredible price of $6.99. Thanks to forum member vikingrobot for the tip!
Our latest Customizing Challenge is in full swing now, and the theme is Wanted Individuals (criminals, Jedi outcasts, figures you want Hasbro to make, etc.).
Head on over to the forums to check out the submissions thus far – and as always, we’d be honored if you would join us with your own customs entries. Please remember though, only new customs for this theme should be entered.
Hasbro’s older stock of merchandise that never made it out to intended retailers continues to show up at discount stores. Forum member vikingrobot reports that Force Link 2.0 figures his local Five Below store for just $3.00 each (plus more of the Rogue One packaged deluxe vehicles and 2-pks for $5.00 a pop).
Good luck, and happy toy hunting!
If you pre-ordered the latest TVC offerings via Amazon, you might be receiving them this week, so keep an eye on your inboxes for shipping notices.
Personal Note: Hopefully it won’t be long before these begin showing up at retail too! The more of a visual presence Star Wars action figures of all scales have in stores and in front of consumers, the better. Kids aren’t going to ask their parents for toys that they don’t ever see… the hobby always does better when it appeals to a broader audience than just adult collectors who have to resort to ordering online.
