If you have a Gamestop in your neck of the woods, it might be worth your while to swing by and check out their clearance section – all clearance items are currently marked off 50% off the clearance sticker price.
Personal Note: In my finds, very new TBS are not included, nor are most TVC. But there were decent selections of various 6 inch figures and lots of oddball gift type items, stacks of Funko POPs, etc. An employee grumbled when talking to me tonight, and said they had just received 6 more huge boxes of clearance items from their warehouse that he had nowhere to display, and they needed to move a lot more by Christmas. It might be bit concerning by just how much unsold collectibles product Gamestop could be sitting on right now.
Images have been officially released for next year’s TBS ROTJ 40 Wave 2 figures which include Chewbacca, Paploo, Bib Fortuna, The Emperor and Stormtrooper. You can check out these and loose photos at Gizmodo.
Preorders open tomorrow (11/30) at 1pm ET.
