Galactic Heroes AT-AT – $19.99
With Hasbro phasing out the Galactic Heroes line, it was only a matter of time before the AT-AT would begin to get marked down or find their way to discount stores… they have now been found at TJ Maxx stores for the great price of $19.99. So if you’ve been considering picking one up, and have one of these stores in your area, this might be a good time to make an extra stop on your next toy run.
UPDATE: TVC Old Stock Purge?
We received word from our friend Chris “HothIcePlanet” that Target is planning to facilitate the restocking of their Vintage Collection by purging select figures, mostly from waves 1 and 2, from their pegs. Hopefully this will clear the distribution log jam and get new product to the pegs.
For more on this, you can listen to Chris on The Sarlacc Pit Podcast over on GalacticBinder later this week.
UPDATE: Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives are reporting a similar action at Walmart. Head on over for their report.
Episode 313: Blu Harvest
First there were the rumors. Then we had the announcement. Details trickled out for months. Now they’re here–The Star Wars Blu Rays. Met with responses from “Noooooo” to “Who Cares?” to unbridled dancing around like an Ewok, this series is both the first high-definition release of the Star Wars films as well as another iteration of Lucasfilm’s tinkering.
On this week’s Star Wars Action News podcast, Marjorie and Arnie break down the release, from Wal-Mart midnight releases met with mixed success to Target’s limited lithographs, they run down the first-day buy, review the Blu Ray set, and discuss the overall importance of this release both to Star Wars as well as home media entertainment worldwide. All on this week’s Star Wars Action Blu’s!
