Discount Stores Clearancing Hasbro Vehicles

clearance

Hasbro’s initial Class II Vehicle Assortment, after a very short-lived shelf life, started showing up at discount stores several months ago.  Stores like Marshalls and TJ Maxx, unable to move these items, are now clearancing them down to $7.00 each.  So if you have one of these stores in your area, and want to buy smaller versions of what you already have, now’s the time to get them on the super cheap.

Personal Note:  One can’t help but remember how excited the Hasbro Star Wars team was when they announced these.  It seemed in their minds, the smaller/cheaper scale was the answer to their 2012 problems.  The overwhelming consense at the time from collectors across forums here and other sites was that this new scale was not a good idea, and look where we are now.  Rather than understand the problem Hasbro created in 2012 by pushing product everyone already had, they appear to have made their mess even deeper… at least in my eyes.   I’m not much of a fan of the 5POA style either, and am hoping that Hasbro isn’t planning on this sort of strategy with the Episode VII line.
