The Toys”R”us exclusive Rancor Pit set has been discounted to $79.99 now on remaining stock – quite the deal for this fantastic set. As always, your mileage may vary as some stores are obviously sold out by now.

It’s All Relative When It Comes to Store Finds
Things aren’t always as dark as they seem when it comes to store reports. It often depends on where you live or how fast your store shifts/turns over merchandise. So, you can have a very disparate experience than other collectors across the nation. Here is one of my Target stores (Plymouth, MN) on any typical day.

6″ Maz Kanata and Leia Organa Revealed?
Hasbro Pulse has updated their site featuring a motion poster for The Force Awakens using action figures and vehicles. Amongst them looks to be 6″ Black Series versions of Maz Kanata and Leia Organa dressed in her gown from the end of the film. Check it out at pulse.hasbro.com

A Star Wars Christmas…?
It’s just a few days before Christmas, and we’re seeing a lot of reports not only of stores not having much Star Wars Hasbro product in stock, but not even stocking much for the past several weeks. Of course there are instances were shoppers are having great, luck, but this isn’t exactly how distribution was with the last few Star Wars films.
How is this impacting your buying habits? Or more importantly, how is it impacting what toys kids will be getting under their Christmas tree this year? Share your thoughts in the forums.
Personal Note: I’ve recently heard on several occasions, parents in the Star Wars section at various stores, mentioning how they can’t find certain figures (or figures in general). There’s really not any good reason why figures like Kylo Ren, Rey, Chewbacca, Han Solo, Finn and Stormtroopers galore are not on the pegs right now. Hasbro should have ensured there was enough product to go around before Christmas – because right now, there’s clearly not.
Yakfinities #59 – Vote Now
A New Yakfinities Customzing Challenge kicks off on January, but before that begins, we need YOU, the Yakface reader, to help determine the theme. So head on over to our forums and cast your vote.
Note: Many of the categories are Episode 7 themed, so if you haven’t seen the movie yet, mild spoilers apply.
Another Chance at Phasma
With Episode 7’s release almost here, there’s no doubt that many kids are going to NOT be able to receive a Captain Phasma figure for Christmas due the relative scarcity of this Hasbro figure.
However, she’s also showing up in the new “Armor Up” wave which is now being found at Toys”R”us stores, so be on the lookout if you’re still hoping to get this figure in time as a gift ($14.99 though, yikes!).
A Week Before Christmas…
Tomorrow night, many of us will be seeing the highly anticipated new film, but what’s the retail situation looking like with only about a week before Christmas?
Our focus on this post is really around what’s on the pegs at Wal-Mart, due to their exclusive rights to the 3.75″ Black Series line that most collectors (and yes, even many KIDS) want to get their hands on… we’re seeing reports come in across the continental U.S. that even Wave 3 is showing up in some areas, but sadly, it appears that some Wal-Mart stores have declined to carry this line past the initial wave… even removing space for the figures.
What’s the scoop in your area? Share your experiences (good and bad) after the jump!
New 6″ Black Series Found In Ontario
Yak face Reader Ian A writes in with a fantastic 6″ Black Series find at Toys”R”Us in Ontario.
Long-time visitor of the site. Today I stopped by my local Toys R Us in Ontario, Canada, and picked up four new Black Series figures: Resistance Trooper, First Order TIE Pilot, Finn as a Stormtrooper and the Flametrooper.
Happy hunting!
