Buy 1 Get 1 Free at Toys”R”us
While swinging by my local Toys”R”us store today to grab a few more figures from The Hobbit, I noticed that all Star Wars figures are Buy 1 Get 1 Free – while the selection consisted mostly of repacks, it’s still a very noteworthy sale!
It’s unknown if this is a national sale, but from what I recall, the stickers said the sale runs at least until sometime in November! I will correct that if I am wrong, but that’s what my fading memory tells me… unfortunately, my cell phone pic didn’t capture the image clear enough to clarify.
Better Watch Your Back, Hasbro!
With collector frustration with Hasbro quite possibly at an all-time high, timing for the company making 3.75″ figures for the highly anticipated The Hobbit films could not be much better.
These new figures by The Bridge Direct are starting to pop up at retail (Toys”R”us for now), and I for one find it very refreshing to find new figures in this scale, apparently aimed at adult collectors, and with a lineup of figures that isn’t flooded with repacks.
Take a look at a few of the figures from this line, and share your thoughts after the jump!
