Target Resets Saga Legends/Rebels Shelf Tags Return

23 Comments

My local Target completed their Star Wars aisle reset this morning and I noticed the return of the Saga Legends/Rebels shelf tags, which had been missing from many stores over the holidays. It looks like the new planogram calls for 6 pegs of 6″ Black Series, 6 pegs of 3-3/4″ Black Series, 3 pegs of Mission Series and 3 pegs of Saga Legends. While most of the pegs are currently empty, waiting for product to be replenished and the port issue in Long Beach to be resolved, hopefully we’ll see these aisles return to a more inviting status soon.

For weeks and months now, much of Hasbro’s merchandise, Star Wars in particular, has been held up at the Port of Long Beach due to contract negotiations with union workers. Hasbro isn’t alone in this matter either. Click on through to read an email I just received from Sideshow claiming this same delay problem with one of my orders.

Hasbro Toys: The Force Awakens

We’ve seen the official trailer countless times, some great concept art, and even some apparent 6″ scale figure prototypes, but there are so many questions on what direction Hasbro is going to be taking with the toy line for The Force Awakens.

Another cool art image was recently revealed by Indie Revolver, which appears to show a very cool new ship design for the next film.  How would this translate into a toy?  Pretty awesome, one would think, if Hasbro chooses to make it.  Hopefully we’ll get a taste of what’s coming in February during Toy Fair.  Until then, head on over to the forums to join in the EP7 toy discussions, and remember, spoilers apply.
