Beware of Fused Joints on 3.75″ Black Series Finn

brokenfinn2

While it was a nice surprise finding Wal-Marts latest wave of 3.75″ Black Series today, the excitement quickly turned to aggravation once opening Finn… I picked up two of this figure, and both had fused right elbow joints.

The first one snapped immediately – the second one I was able to save only through my experience with customizing.  Hopefully this doesn’t turn out to be a widespread issue… but please share your experiences after the jump!

New Year, New Price

It appears that with the new year, Wal-Mart has increased the price of basic TFA figures by about a dollar each.  This puts them closer in line with the likes of competing retailers; and after having a hard time keeping Star Wars figures in stock around the holidays, this price hike comes as little surprise.  So be prepared to pay a little more for the “budget line” moving forward.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year from all of us at Yakface.com. Thanks for your continued patronage as well your patience with the site. Look for some big changes in that regard in 2016. We hope to continue the type of coverage you’ve come to expect from us for many more years to come.

Wal-Mart Exclusive Black Series Line Status

storereport1

Here we are, right in the midst of a great new Star Wars film with a huge demand for action figures related to the movie, and a ton of people haven’t seen a sniff of anything past Wave 1 from Wal-Mart’s exclusive 3.75″ Black Series figures.

Apparently this line is so exclusive, many stores are being completely left out after Wave 1 in spite of having dedicated peg space for these figures (remember, after Wave 1 is when the NEW figures from the NEW MOVIE are included).

What’s the scene like in your area?  Better?  Just as bad?   Share your thoughts/findings/pics after the jump!
