Walmart stores are starting to rollback prices on both TVC and TBS figures – hopefully this means they are trying to make room for newer product. Perhaps we might even see further reductions over the next month or two if this first round of rollbacks doesn’t help clear some significant peg space.
Yak’s Top Ten returns, with the theme moving onto MULTIPACKS!
To help keep this theme as simple as possible, I’d suggest going with multi-pack THEMES rather than trying to call out individual figures. So for example: Saw Gerrera’s Partisans 3-pk, Kessel Droids 3-pk, etc.
What multipacks do you want to see made in The Vintage Collection from? Post your TVC wish list HERE.
You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list right HERE.

While at Target yesterday, I noticed some new Star Wars nostalgia items for $11.99. If you’re into these type of collectibles, look for endcaps in the Target toy section for these.
Personal Note: While I didn’t pick these up and normally don’t buy oddball items such as these, I am already thinking I made a mistake by passing on them. That lunch box is especially cool.
Those one or two TVC TIE Fighters you’ve been seeing on the shelf at your local Walmart may be turning into an entire fleet soon, as St. Louis area Walmarts have been suddenly receiving mass quantities of this ship. Let us know if you’re seeing the same thing.
Personal Note: $79 is just too high of a price for this ship… would be surprised if these aren’t on rollback / clearance before too long.
Now that some of us are starting to receive mighty Jabba’s Sail Barge, we’re curious what your first impressions are once having it in person! Are you blown away, or are you finding aspects you feel Hasbro should have done better on?

Personal Note: I’m reading from various buyers that the Ithorian corpse is not removable… that’s kind of a letdown. But overall most of what I’m reading is extremely positive, outside of some not-so-great experiences with boxes arriving damaged. I can’t wait to finally receive mine and get it all set up and hope we see several more offerings on par with this in the Star Wars 3.75″ line.
If you have a Best Buy in your area, if may be worth your time to swing by and check out their toy/collector section. Quite a few various Star Wars items have been marked down (as well as other brands, such as Marvel). Good luck and as always your mileage may vary.
Yak’s Top Ten returns, with the theme switching over to something that until recently didn’t seem to be in Hasbro’s game plan… PLAYSETS! But of course, something has changed at Hasbro on this front (for the better).

You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list right HERE.

As reported last week, the latest 6″ wave of TBS figures is hitting Target stores. In a rare stroke of good luck, I stumbled upon them in the St. Louis area as well this morning. Share your store reports here or in the forums after the jump!
Personal Note: The Mimban Han Solo is really one of the best looking figures I’ve seen Hasbro make in any scale – fingers crossed that it’s not too long before we see a TVC counterpart of such quality that is readily available to the market…
Thanks to some excellent Toy Fair photos courtesy of Justin LaSalata, we can do a little side by side shot of the upcoming Stormtrooper releases coming in The Vintage Collection (Han Solo and Rogue One version). Check them out after the jump!
Yak’s Top Ten is back yet again, with the theme switching over to Vehicles.
