Mimban Stormtrooper
***UPDATE – BACK IN STOCK AS OF 7AM CST (3/21)***
If you haven’t scored any TVC Mimban Stormtroopers (or are looking to add to your existing army), Walmart.com has the TVC Mimban Stormtrooper in stock… as of this post, they are still listed as available at the standard $12.99 price.
They have free shipping on orders over $35, or you can also select to have them for pickup at your local Walmart.
Personal Note: Don’t miss out on this great figure! I can’t wait to have a few extras to repaint into extra gritty troops on Mimban!

Ross Finds Continue
These seems to be no end to the number of AT-ST’s ($9.99) and certain 6″ figures ($2.99) in the supply chain at Ross. If you have a Ross in your area, it might be worth your time checking to see if they are still receiving Hasbro product from The Black Series. Good luck and let us know about your success (or lack thereof)!
Site News: Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure Update
We have updated our language for Yakface.com’s advertising, sponsor and affiliate disclosure statement to include our social media practices. We have also added a direct link to it in the lefthand column with the above image.
Rollbacks @ Walmart
Walmart stores are starting to rollback prices on both TVC and TBS figures – hopefully this means they are trying to make room for newer product. Perhaps we might even see further reductions over the next month or two if this first round of rollbacks doesn’t help clear some significant peg space.
Yak’s Top Ten: Multipacks
Yak’s Top Ten returns, with the theme moving onto MULTIPACKS!
To help keep this theme as simple as possible, I’d suggest going with multi-pack THEMES rather than trying to call out individual figures. So for example: Saw Gerrera’s Partisans 3-pk, Kessel Droids 3-pk, etc.
What multipacks do you want to see made in The Vintage Collection from? Post your TVC wish list HERE.
You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list right HERE.
Note: Wish lists may also be posted in the comments section of this article. You may post both a TVC and TBS list, but please do not post your wish lists in this comments section AND in the forums. And please indicate if you’re referring to TVC or TBS with each list.
