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.

2013 Deluxes Continue to Arrive at TRU
While news regarding the demise of the B.A.D. line is depressing for many of us, Toys”R”us stores continue to receive shipments of the 2013 deluxe sets – keep up those toy runs if you’re looking to add these to your collection, and good luck!
Star Wars Ornaments at Target
The last time I checked, the pickings were slim on Hallmark Star Wars ornaments in my area, but yesterday I noticed a lot of different (non-Hallmark) Star Wars themed ornaments at Target, and they are all priced under $10.00. So you may want to head on down to your local Target if you’re needing a finishing touch or two on your Christmas tree!
TJ Maxx & Marshalls Continue to Deliver
Finding new Star Wars items at the big retailers is hit or miss these days, even so close to Christmas – but stores like TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Five Below continue to stock some treats, and at great prices – today I saw yet another Rebel Transport Speeder at TJ Maxx – and it’s pretty hard to beat the $9.99 price tag.
The pickings may be slim, but don’t give up toy run hope this holiday season, as these discout stores are still getting some great stuff in!
Blast from the Past at TJ Maxx
Yakface forum member evilanimation just came across a very interesting find at his local TJ Maxx – check it out after the jump!
Deluxe Dropships Landing
One of the cooler deluxe items from the Clone Wars has started showing up in heavier numbers recently, with sightings at various Wal-Mart and Target stores. Keep your eyes peeled for this one as two of the three times I’ve seen it, it’s been stuffed behind dust collecting Darth Maul speeders and also some STAP vehicles.
Of course if you don’t luck out and find one soon, there’s always a good chance that you’ll see these dumped at places like TJ Maxx and Marshalls next year…
Older Waves Continue to Surface
By most accounts, this has been a dismal year at retail for the Star Wars line, starting with a massive overproduction of the first wave of vintage, followed up by Hasbro carrying forward far too many TPM figures in subsequent waves that ended up creating a terrible logjam at retail – so many amazing figures this year have been nearly impossible to score at retail thanks to this disaster.
However, there are still rays of hope, as with Christmas rapidly approaching, retailers are beginning to stock the pegs a little more frequently with waves we expected to be able to find over the summer (better late than never, right?).
If you’re brave enough to fight the crowds at retail, and are persistent enough, you just might be able to score a few late gems this year – I’ve personally seen the Evazan wave three different times (all at different retailers) over the past two weeks, and other forum members are reporting similar finds.
