Walmart Strikes Back

The Walmart in Arnold, MO is showing signs of life in the Star Wars section for the first time in years.

A long time ago, in an alternate retail reality, fresh Star Wars product could be found at Walmart stores throughout the galaxy.

For the first time in many moons, my local Walmart is showing some positive signs – not only with a fresh reset, but actually stocking some new product AND the Star Wars section is now positioned at the front of the toy aisle as opposed to hiding near the back.

Not gonna lie… I felt like a kid there again for a brief moment. Pretty nice to feel a hint of that magic here and there.

Will this be a better year for Star Wars at retail? I’m not sure I’d bet the moisture farm on it, but I snapped a handful of close-up pics (including some new non-Star Wars items in the toy reset that caught my eye). Check them out here after the jump!

Additional Chase Details for Micro Galaxy Squadron

Jazwares Micro Galaxy Squadron line invokes a sense of 90’s nostalgia from the days of the Galoob Micro Machine line. This line looks to be pretty deep from the start with nearly 19 products in various classes. What is also interesting is that there are RARE and SUPER RARE chases for some of them as well, including Ahsoka’s Jedi Starfighter, Moff Gideon’s Outland TIE Fighter, Antoch Merrick’s X-wing Fighter (Blue One) from Rogue One and more.

I’ve added several of these products to the Master List today with more to come.
