Jabba’s Palace In-Stock Status

The Walmart exclusive Jabba’s Palace Adventure Set has fluctuated as “In Stock” and “Out of Stock” this evening online.., I personally placed an order, and my email states that I will receive it on May 18.

If you are able to place an order, let us know!  And hopefully orders won’t be cancelled like some of the TVC Skiff Guard Lando Calrissian orders were.

Thanks to Yakface staffer Jodo for the keen eye!

TVC: Army Building in 2019

With the reemergence of The Vintage Collection, Hasbro has been knocking quite a few Imperial army builder figures out of the park.   Retail availability is another story of course due to the Wave 1 logjam, but there’s no denying that many of the recent Imperial trooper figures are extremely impressive.

That being said, what are your army-building goals moving forward?  How many of the TVC Rogue One Stormtrooper figures do you want for your collection?  Will Hasbro come even close to meeting demand for that figure?  Do you want to see figures like the Patrol Trooper and Mud Trooper scaled down in 3.75″ scale?

$1.00 Star Wars Figures

If you have a Dollar Tree store in your area, if might be worth your while to swing by and see if they are getting in Rogue One figures.   Their store locator is here.

Personal Note:  At two different Dollar Tree stores in the St. Louis area today, I found remnants of the following:  Darth Vader, Rey (Jakku), Director Krennic, Chirrut, Jyn (scarf), Cassian (blue coat), Princess Leia (animated Rebels).  For $1.00 each! 

Maybe these are remnants from Toys”R”us warehouses, but they couldn’t find someone who would sell these for more than a buck each?   The Cassian and Jyn figures are already starting to pile up… so maybe this was a good call… on any note, no more 5POA, Hasbro and Disney… please.  The product is just too boring.  Modern Star Wars figures need enhanced articulation and more variety of aliens and droids in the mix.  

Mimban Stormtrooper

***UPDATE – BACK IN STOCK AS OF 7AM CST (3/21)***

If you haven’t scored any TVC Mimban Stormtroopers (or are looking to add to your existing army), Walmart.com has the TVC Mimban Stormtrooper in stock… as of this post, they are still listed as available at the standard $12.99 price.

They have free shipping on orders over $35, or you can also select to have them for pickup at your local Walmart.

Personal Note:  Don’t miss out on this great figure!  I can’t wait to have a few extras to repaint into extra gritty troops on Mimban!
