Forum member Jodo has posted another good read on his blog about the issues the Star Wars fan base is dealing with, this time focusing on the action figure price increases that appear to be looming across the hobby, and have already impacted Target (well, maybe not so much yet because retailers rarely stock anything anymore that the Star Wars market wants anyway).
Check it out here, and share your thoughts in our comments section or in the forums!
Looks like collectors are still having luck finding new Saga Legends/Mission Series sets at Target. Reader Trent B. sends in this report from his Nashville, TN area.

Yakface forum member CloneCrazy has kicked off a new photonovel series set in the times of the Old Republic. The visuals are breathtaking and the story is great.
Kick back, take a few minutes, and enjoy this first installment in his new series… and be so kind to leave him a comment too for his hard work and for sharing it with us.
Target has marked down the 6″ Deluxe Black Series Assortment down to $24.99. The discount is being observed in stores and online, hopefully to make way for the next wave with Han and Tauntaun.

No need for carry forward/repacks? DorksideToys has a set of 6″ Bossk and Han (Stormtrooper) for preorder for only $41.99
Forum member Jodo checks in with a new store report – he spotted the Mission Series Wicket/Scout Trooper 2-pk at his local Target in Edwardsville, IL.
Personal Note: Both reports I’ve seen so far indicate to me, Target is still splitting cases at distribution centers. Hopefully we’ll see evidence of some actual FULL cases shipping to Target stores again soon!
Despite me getting “confirmation” that articulation was removed from the 6″ Bossk, new images have surfaced via Facebook disproving that claim.
Saw Sabine/Stormtrooper and Wookiee Rebels 2-packs at Target tonight.
