Exclusive Fighter Pods Tin Found
Tonight at my local Target (Champlin, MN) I managed to score the exclusive Fighter Pods Tin. The packaging is presented similar to how the TAC Commemorative Tins were issued and includes 10 exclusives, 8 Series 1 reissues and 6 black/red Fighter Pods balls. You can check out our exclusive image gallery for this set on Facebook.
Fighter Pods Tin In Stores in 2 Weeks
Thanks to a report from our friend DarthChuck, collectors of the Fighter Pods line can expect to see the Target Exclusive Darth Maul Tin (087-06-1178) in stores the week of October 10.
UPDATE: Fighter Pods Series 3 Hitting Stores
For fans of the Fighter Pods out there (all 1% of you), I found the blind “Mystery” bags for Series 3 at my local Target this morning. Collectors of this line will want to be on the hunt for these 5 exclusive Fighter Pods Rampage figures (only found in Series 3 bags): Super Battle Droid, Luke Skywalker (Endor Gear)*, Wicket W. Warrick, Scout Trooper and Jawa.
UPDATE: The packaging for the Fighter Pods is incorrect as it shows the X-Wing Luke Skywalker (with blaster) as exclusive for these bags, that figure is actually exclusive to the Series 3 X-Wing Vs TIE Fighter set.

TVC / Lost Line Continue to Hit TRU
I headed over to my local (Minnetonka, MN) Toys”R”Us over lunch today to satiate my new found Fighter Pods addiction and lucked into a case of TVC/Lost Line figures. This was my first encounter with these at retail so with the new Speeder Bike, Ewok and Yavin pilots hitting, it’s best you too head to your local Toys”R”Us.
