As we reported yesterday, Walmart is now starting to get their exclusive “Discover the Force” wave of figures. Don’t give up the search if you don’t see the figures in the regular action figure aisle on the pegs. Forum member EopieHerder tweeted the above image of a four-sided aisle/floor display he found as his local store. As you’re well aware, Walmart tends to be creative as to where they display their merchandise sometimes so you might take the time to roam around the store a bit to locate one.
Toys”R”Us is have a 20% off sale this week on select new Star Wars merchandise. Head to your local store to find the following:
TRU Exclusive Podracer Pilots Action Figure Pack: $21.59 each
Fleet/Class I Vehicles with Figures Sets: $15.99 each
Ultimate FX Lightsabers: $31.99 each
Basic Roleplaying Masks: $10.39 each

Today is the official release/on-shelf date for all of the 2012 Hasbro product that has been hitting stores now for several weeks. Chances are you will have no trouble finding figures from the Movie Heroes wave or remnants from the Clone Wars line. Alas, be prepared to miss out on some of the exclusive products and possible Vintage offerings due to stores not stocking fully or not receiving certain items altogether.
On January 30th all the stores on your toy runs will have the new stock of Star Wars figures from Hasbro. From Vintage to Movie Heroes to Clone Wars, Hasbro has figures, battle packs, fleet vehicles, and more ready to be released. But across the country, mostly at Wal Mart, toys have been spotted early. And on this week’s Star Wars Action News, your hosts Arnie and Marjorie have a bunch in hand to review.
Listen to this week’s episode of Star Wars Action News for hands on reviews of the new Titanium Vehicle 3-Packs, the Toys”R”Us exclusive battle pack, the new Hasbro Fleet vehicles, the full first wave of Hasbro Movie Heroes figures, as well as The Vintage Collection figures like the Battle Droid, Ben Quadinaros, and Quinlan Vos!
