Twitter follower @cybertronprime / Dan from SWCollector.com tagged us in this tweet with his find at Disney Stores today. Still no sign of the “Empire” set.
As as follow up to our previous article, Facebook follower Lando Griffin writes in with photographic confirmation that the vehicle value packs are hitting Kmart stores as well. Click the image above for a closer look.
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have posted an interesting article regarding the return of those Special Value Offer vehicle 2-packs that were available at ToysRUs back in October 2012. Head on over for the details on where and how you can find them in your area.
UPDATE: Check your Kmart stores as well as we’ve received a report that these are turning up there as well for $14.99 a set
Stephen Stanton (The Clone Wars) tweeted an image last night showing some signage at Walmart and you’ll notice that the release date for Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion is listed for October 3 – the same day the special airs on the Disney Channel. This contradicts the October 14 release date stated back in August. Signage could be wrong, or Walmart has an exclusive distribution deal with Disney/Lucasfilm.
Still need to track down the Prototype Boba Fett? Walgreens.com has unlocked their “Find a Store” feature to allow you to search for availability* at a store near you.
Facebook follower Lando Griffin sent in this photo of his find today of the “Jedi Reveal” exclusive from Toys”R”Us in Arizona. This score marks the first Star Wars Rebels 3-3/4″ figures to hit retail.
Nice find! Send in your reports if you find this as well.
UPDATE: We can also confirm that the Holographic Obi-Wan is 1 POA with ball-socket articulation at the neck.
Check out all that’s in stock this week, and available for pre-order at Dorksidetoys.com. Join us on our Twitter, Google+, Instagram, Tumblr & Facebook pages for regular toy news and new stock, sale and pre-order alerts, movie news, trailers and more.
Looks like product development at Hasbro for Episode VII is in full swing as seen above in this screen shot from the Speeder Bike development video released earlier today. While nothing is spoiled in terms of character names, you can see that there is a product labeled “SW E7 secondary hero battler”.
It goes without saying (but I will anyway) that Hasbro has been in “Episode VII mode” for a while now, the purpose of the post is to show the actual, observable “proof” that development has commenced.
