With the new Toys”R”us reset, obviously most of us are hoping this means better things for the collector lineup’s distribution. Today I came across some Wave 4 figures for the first time at a Toys”R”us; which was a sight for sore eyes.
Now is the time to start getting back to the hunt, but as always these days, your chances of success on toy runs are not what they used to be… but perhaps things may be back on the upswing?
Check out my local TRU today to see if they refreshed their stock of merchandise* and I was surprised find shelf tags the Star Wars Rebels Jedi Reveal Mission Series set.
*Another interesting observation, this particular store killed the entire new set up for the Star Wars line and went back to having 2 standard aisle for product. Weird.
UPDATE: ToysRUs.ca has this set up for preorder now with a 10/17 release date.

Forum member Grimace has shared several pics of Hasbro’s new Inquisitor’s TIE Advanced Prototype in the forums. It looks to me like Hasbro has hit another home run here, meaning all three of the new Rebels mid-size vehicles surpass most of Hasbro’s other recent efforts. Head on over to the forums for a closer look, and to share your thoughts.
For all you diorama fans, forum member Raylen has just revealed a special sneak peek at a new 3.75″ scale item I am guessing many of you are going to want to add to your collections. Soon, he will have them available for order at his site.
For now, head on over the forums and for a glimpse at what’s to come…
Personal Note: Shut up and take my money!
The next Yakfinities Customizing Challenge will launch in October, which means for the next few days, all registered forum members are eligible to help decide what the theme will entail. Voting is and easy and just a click away.
While many have been quick to dismiss Hasbro’s Hero Series X-wing Fighter as a waste of retail space and tooling dollars, customizers have been transforming it into a display worthy piece that is far closer to 3-3/4″ scale than any prior X-wing release. Check out Facebook images for the amazing custom paint job by Saravana Kumar that really brings out the existing details and sculpting.
Thanks to Sith_Fire30 for the heads-up.
