Today I was able to score the new Hoth Box Sets at Target, and was told by a manager that there was a limit of two per customer. If anyone else has experienced this or can back this up, please share your thoughts in the forums.

Defense of Hoth/Attack on Hoth Battle Pack Images
Yakface forum member “leebo” has posted some great loose images of the Target exclusive Defense of Hoth and Attack on Hoth Battle Packs in our forums. Head on in to see what is new and different in the two sets.
New Hoth Battle Packs Found
News is coming in that collectors have already begun to find the new Target Exclusive Battle Packs, retailing at $39.99. Be on the lookout if you’re wanting to add the Rebel or Imperial set to your collection – and it never hurts to try the DPCI trick, which is 087-06-2249 as both sets share the same number.
Clone Wars Nikto Guard (TRU Exclusive)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Toys”R”Us exclusive Nikto Guard from the Clone Wars Collection.
PROS: Finally, we’ve received the figure that was originally intended to be included with the Clone Wars Jabba’a Palace Battle Pack from 2008. A great looking figure all around and well accessorized.
CONS: Lack of articulation in the legs limits poses available and the pre-posed leg positioning tends to make this figure unstable. A rather generic figure for an exclusive and the $10+ pricepoint might hamper this figure’s sell-through at retail.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
Clone Wars Nikto Promotion Coming?
Yakface reader Darth Stringfield was informed by a Toys”R”us employee yesterday that starting on Sunday, this figure will be free with a $30.00 purchase. If this indeed true, it may be worth a trip to your local store to add this figure to your collection.
Senate Commando Pack Pics at JD
Our friends at Jedi Defender have posted some nice front and back carded shots of the upcoming Target Exclusive Senate Commando 2-pack that includes Captain Jayfon and a basic Senate Commando. This set will be shipped alongside a Cad Bane & IG-86 2-pack for around $14 each. Look for these sets in your local Target store in the next few weeks. Head on over to Jedi Defender for a closer look.
UPDATE – Clone Wars Nikto Guard
This exclusive figure has now been found at retail! Specifically, at a Toys”R”Us in central Iowa by forumite Grimace.
UPDATE 9/26 – Thanks to Paulskywalker for some great up close pics of this figure loose – be sure to check them out HERE.

Upcoming Exclusives on eBay
A couple of upcoming exclusive figures have turned up on eBay recently – Ysanne Isard and Geonosis C-3PO.
Both figures look great, and hopefully it won’t be too long before these are officially out. But until then if your patience gets the best of you, you can get them a bit early.
Clone Wars Nikto Guard Coming Soon
Upon visiting my local Toys”R”Us today, I managed to take a peek at the planogram been used to reset the aisle and it indicates that the exclusive Clone Wars Nikto Guard (Puko Naga) is part of this reset and should be hitting stores in the next few days.
