UPDATE: Toys”R”Us Sale – 2/$10.99
You’ll want to make sure that Toys”R”Us is on your list of retail stops this week, as they are running another of their 2/$10.99 sales on basic Hasbro figures – Star Wars, GI Joe, and other Hasbro brands are included – and for once, the Vintage figures are included as well! Good luck on those toy runs, with these prices it’s a good excuse to add a couple more army builders, stock up for customs, etc… and as a reminder, Wal-Mart is usually pretty good about matching competitor prices if you bring an ad in with you!
UPDATE: Although some stores may honor the promotion on the Vintage Collection, not all stores do, nor does the ToysRUs.com website.

Yellowing Plastic Strikes Back
In spite of Hasbro’s VP of Global Brand Management indicating in a recent interview at Echobasenews.com that they had resolved the issue with yellowing of figures, it seems as though they still haven’t really addressed the problem (at least not yet).
Over the past year or so, collectors are very aware of extreme cases of this on the BD # 58 Spacetrooper, TVC # 14 Sandtrooper and TVC # 15 Clone Trooper (as well as some Clone Wars Clone Troopers to a lesser extent). But now it’s being seen on the TVC # 52 Rebel Fleet Trooper’s helmet, and even the Clone Trooper helmet in the AOTC Blu Ray Commemorative set.
Our friends at Jedidefender.com have provided a comparison pic of this quality control issue on the Rebel Fleet Trooper and forum members Rum Sleg and Nygmex at Rebelscum.com also reported this problem recently as well.
So, what’s it going to take for Hasbro to address this issue once and for all? Share your thoughts after the jump!

Target Deluxe Markdowns
Target is resetting their aisle this week and in order to clear out existing product, they are quietly clearancing the previous DPCI/SKU (087-06-1402) for the Deluxe Vehicle with Figure sets to make way for the new Class I/Rapid Strike Vehicle DPCI/SKU. Last night I found the Y-Wing Scout Bomber and Republic Scout Speeder for $5.08 a pieces while their case mates – the Naboo Skiff and Cad Bane Speeder Bike (in new packaging) rang out at full price. It might be worth a trip to the Price Scanner to see if your store is doing the same thing!
