As a follow up to last week’s report regarding Target aisle reset plans, we’ve receive word that the planogram has now been updated to include the popular Gamorrean Guard again – that will mean (at least) 3 exclusives of the shelves for October. (Gamorrean, Moloch, at Bespin Escape Leia).

It’s still early in the return of TVC, but it appears as though we really could start seeing a resurgance with this line now that Walmart stores are starting to get in both Wave 2 and Wave 3 of TVC this month… but keep in mind, Target shoppers might be in for a dry spell with all the Wave 1 pegwarmers they are sitting on (thanks to the bad decision to repack so many figures in the first wave).
On any note, good luck on those toy runs and hopefully the disparaging times many 3.75″ collectors have been feeling for the past few years will soon be a thing of the past.
