Toys”R”Us Black Friday promos have been revealed and show that those Special Value Offer vehicle 2 packs are going to be on sale for 50% off! The promo starts Thanksgiving Day at 8pm and lasts until Friday at close. If you’ve held off on getting some of these vehicles or, like many, NEED that Mandalorian Assault Transport this may be your last shot at it.
UPDATE: For fans of plush figures and Star Wars Transformers, those large deluxe talking plush figures of Yoda, Vader, Chewbacca and R2-D2 and all Star Wars Transformers figures will also be 50% off.
Walmart’s Black Friday Ad has dropped and it looks like they are going to have an exclusive 8-pack of Saga Legends* figures for $25.00. This promo is available in-store only and after 8pm on Thanksgiving Day.
*As of yet there is no word if the 8 figures are this same in each set or just a cobbled together assortment of overstock. But it’s a sure bet there is nothing worth getting here unless you are looking for troop builders.
PROS: For fans of the series, this is a nice expansion pack in order to get some of the additional troopers for the “Wolf Pack” squad. The deco for Clone Commander Wolffe (and his troopers) is much closer to the actual color as portrayed in the series.
CONS: Since this set is now an online exclusive (previously set to be a Walmart item), collectors may have to pay a little bit extra than if they were to pick this up at retail. Plo Koon only includes his double bladed lightsaber gauntlet whereas it would have been nice to get his standard issue Jedi weapon.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this latest set is worth adding to your collection.

Kmart has placed their Ewok Scouts, Endor AT-ST Crew and the Scout Walker on sale this week for $12.99 and $29.99 respectively. If anyone is looking to army build or were just holding out for a better deal, now may be the perfect opportunity. Promotion valid online as well until November 21.
Our friends at Sandtroopers.com have posted a few loose shots of the upcoming online exclusive “Wolf Pack” Ultimate Gift Set. For variation hunters, it looks like Clone Commander Wolffe has a different deco than its basic carded release.
Our friends at Galactic Hunter have posted via Facebook that the exclusive Vintage Millennium Falcon is currently hitting store shelves as evidenced by the above photo taken in Chandler, AZ. Just a reminder, there is NOTHING new for this vehicle – the deco and the included figures (Han and Chewie) are the same as the prior release. But, if you’re a packaging variant collector or just a TVC collector this is for you.
Remember, ask a store associate to help you get high items off the shelf and have them help you lift your wallet while they’re at it as this will set you back an extra $100 from 2008.
ToysRUs is now taking orders for their Exclusive Vintage Millennium Falcon and by the looks of it, that throwback design comes at a premium of $249.99. Will you buy your own ship for that?
Thanks to Jeff Clemens on our Facebook page for the tip.
