Few people have seen the Unkar Plutt or Admiral Ackbar wave… Han Solo is nearly impossible to find… and now Hasbro’s distribution inconsistencies continue, as the Nien Nunb wave (including mask-less Kylo Ren) has show up at a Wal-Mart in the St. Louis area (thank you Scott for the report).
Who else has seen these and newer Hasbro figures at retail? Let us know how those toy runs are going after the jump!
Our friends from Star Wars Action News report via Facebook that their staffer, Justin, found the 6″ Black Series Wave containing Ahsoka, Kanan and Luke Skywalker at Target this morning.
Nice find!
Kmart has updated their website with a placeholder page for the upcoming Takodana Encounter set ($19.99). It is unavailable for order at this time, but maybe check over the next few days for orders to open up.
A new Yakfinities Customzing Challenge kicks off on April, but before that begins, we need to tally some votes to determine the theme.
So head on over to our forums, and if you’re a registered Yakface Forum member, cast your vote!
Yakface Reader Chris L, sends in a report/image from his Kmart in LaPorte, IN showing his store has started adding new product shelf tags for not only the Rey (Starkiller Base) but also the companion Kylo Ren (Starkiller Base) set as well as a tag for the Takodana Encounter set labeled as “3.75 entertainment” for $19.99
The tags are labeled as such:
