As you are probably painfully aware by now, HasbroToyShop this morning placed the SDCC exclusives up for sale on their site, including the Revenge of the Jedi Death Star Figure Pack. Needless to say, the site couldn’t handle the rush of traffic to order this and the other exclusives, forcing many to miss out on this highly sought after piece. Couple this latest snafu with the frustration collectors are having finding new product in general and you have the perfect storm for breaking the Tauntaun’s back. Collectors in forums and Facebook and Twitter are voicing their disgust. Let’s hope that Hasbro and HasbroToyShop gets the message (1-800-224-4438).

No, they’re no leaving Target’s aisle yet, especially at this new price. As reported by our friends at Jedi Temple Archives, I too ran into the $16.29 Geonosis Arena Sets (previously $12.99) at my local MN Target. As a consolation, both Clone Wars Geonosis 2-packs were marked down to $11. Hey, let’s keep a little optimism here. : )
