Target stores are putting Force Link items on clearance now that the Christmas rush is over. Chances are these will be marked down lower in the coming weeks.
Personal Note: My local store only had the single figures marked on clearance, and the 2-pks with “The Last Jedi” label marked down. The “Solo” 2-pks were still scanning at full price. I didn’t bother to scan anything else.
From all of us at Yakface.com, we would like to wish all of our readers a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all that good stuff!
We hope you take time to reflect on what really matters, and are able to spend quality time with those that you love, and we appreciate you all for being part of our corner in the collecting community.
Of course, if you received any Star Wars goodies under the tree, feel free to post pics here or in our forums too.
Walmart has started to receive wave 1 of the new Star Wars: Resistance figures from Hasbro. The case includes 2 of each figure (Kaz, Torra Doza, Commander Pyre, Major Vonreg, Synara San, and First Order Stormtrooper). Brandon W. on Facebook reports them being found in Kentucky.
Rey (Island Journey). Mimban Stormtrooper. Elite Corps Clone Trooper. Three TVC figures we all thought we’d have by now (although Rey is enroute to collectors as we speak) but now it sounds like the next wave of Vintage figures will be following that trend of delayed gratification and will be available in March 2019. Preorders should still open next month… hopefully.
As 2018 draws to a close, I continue to research and scour the interwebs for clues of upcoming product from Hasbro for the new year. Our unpublished 2019 list is growing rapidly and recently I came across a new listing for a potential exclusive for April’s Star Wars Celebration Chicago.

Entertainment Earth has opened preorders for Wave 1 of the Black Series Archive assortment. You can order them by the case (2 of each figure) or as a set of 4.
DorksideToys has also opened their preorders
Last evening, I stopped by my local Walmart and naturally went into the toy section. The Star Wars scene at this store is essentially the same at every Walmart and Target in my area.
I love this hobby, but am so frustrated by the current direction of the merchandising. Almost every time I see people for the past year looking at Star Wars stuff, it ends the same way… with the potential buyer shaking their head and walking away.
So I decided to post a new rant in the forums and threw out some ideas on how Hasbro/Disney could potentially start making Star Wars toys that their retail partners can have more confidence in selling to the public again.
