TBS 3.75″ Die-Cast Metal Figures Hit Retail
Most of us want new 3.75″ figures with more than 5 points of articulation, so recently Hasbro responded with something nobody was asking for in this scale instead.
Reaction from readers has been pretty negative since their 3.75″ Die Cast Metal Figures were announced – and now, these future clearance items have been found at retail. Our friends at Jeditemplearchives have the details. Check out their report after the jump!

Stay on Target…
Target stores are running some good deals this week, including $9.89 price on TBS 6″ figures. The kicker though is that the only figures that rang up for this price at my local store were Jyn, Cassian and the Death Trooper. The tags indicate it’s all figures, so if you try and purchase others, they will likely ring up for $19.99 and you will need to explain the situation to the cashier.
Jedha Revolt sets are also $19.99 – which is a steal. And on top of that, you can text STAR10 to save $10 off a $50 Star Wars purchase, and STAR25 to save $25 off a $100 Star Wars purchase (excluding LEGO of course).
The only tough news here is on the new display shippers, they have limited Baze and Chirrut to 1x each in the shipper… which is typical of Hasbro’s poor distribution model. And the 3.75″ stuff… all stuff that was released last Fall… which is absolutely ridiculous. Where’s Raddus??

Target Marking Down 6″ Black Series Below $10
Target store are starting to markdown their 6″ Black Series assortment in preparation for the launch of the 40th Anniversary line in a couple weeks. You can pick up some great army builders or custom fodder for $9.89 each. (Excludes exclusive AT-ACT Driver)
Thanks to TargetGod for the report.
Update: Upcoming Target Sale – 20% Off Star Wars Toys
Just in time for the stock refresh, Target will be offering a 20% off sale on all Star Wars toys (excluding LEGO of course). Sale starts 3/26 and runs through 4/15.
Thanks again to TargetGod for the details.
Update: apparently the sign used for this promo is a bit unclear regarding what is actually for sale. The sign doesn’t say “all”, nor does it say “select”. And to throw one more caveat into the deal is that it is regional and not at all stores.
More 6″ AT-ACT Drivers Found
Based on our earlier report today, Twitter follower JohnnyUtah06 hit his Target store in Kansas City, MO and found the 6″ AT-ACT Driver as well.
