Last year’s third wave of TVC is continuing to show up in greater numbers now (about a year late!), which is good in a sense, but also one has to wonder if things would be better if this wave just showed up at discounters instead; considering this wave (like Wave 2) is smothered in seven more TPM carry forwards.
On any note, Toys”R”us seems to be the best place to have a chance at scoring newer figures lately, but reports are also coming in that Wal-Mart and Target are finally receiving more TVC shipments as well. Good luck, and as always, your experience will vary.
The evidence of just how bad 2012 was for Hasbro continues to surface as even more of the weak offerings from Movie Heroes pile up at discount chains like TJ Maxx. If you passed on most of the vehicle repacks like so many other collectors, they are showing up at TJ Maxx and Marshalls for $16.99 and the battle packs for $11.99.
Facebook reader Adam V. also reports that Dewbacks are appearing at Ross stores for $13.99.

After you click through and see the pics of this unpainted all the way through to completion, I am sure you will enjoy the images but if you’re like me, you may also be annoyed that Hasbro has focused on other areas instead of some small iconic environments like this.
I’ve seen numerous collections over the years but few have made my jaw drop like Niktom’s – check out the amazing collection of the creator of the great Yak’s Pub comic strip after the jump!
If you’re looking for some cute Easter basket stuffers, Target stores are starting to receive new shipments of Jedi Force figures. Click on the image above for a closer look.
Toys”R”us has been running a great sale over the past month – but as a reminder, this sale ends on Saturday.
Stores around the U.S. have been consistently restocking TVC figures for this, most notably the Deleted Scenes wave. So if you’re in the hunt for these figures, or just want some extra army builders / custom fodder for a good price, you’ve only got a few days left to take advantage of this price.
Forum member Grimace has shared some great pics of various customs he has acquired from the “Droids” and “Ewoks” cartoons. Check them all out after the jump!
Finding good figures at retail these days is no easy tasks, but reports are trickling in that indicate Toys”R”us is still getting in post-Episode One TVC figures for the current sale that runs through March 16.
With what could be shaping up to be a very disappointing Fall right around the corner with the lackluster range of figures we’ve seen for The Black Series, this sale could be one of the few enjoyable moments of 2013 when it comes to Star Wars collecting. So keep Toys”R”us on your stops list and good luck!
It appears that most Target stores are slashing their clearance prices down to 70% 0ff – which means if you can score any 2012 TVC figures at this price, you’ll be paying about three bucks a figure. So now is the time if you want to try and grab some cheap custom fodder, army builders, etc.
