Today’s Target and Walmart proved fruitful in one aspect and very frustrating in another. Good news is that it looks like the exclusive reissues of TVC Bom Vimdin, Bib Fortuna and the GamorreanGuard will be hitting stores this weekend. But as you can surmise, they are all street dated for October 5 – so stupid for old, reissued figures. Black Series figures have also starting hitting Target as well but look to be a wave behind Walmart has they are receiving the new Anakin/Obi-Wan/Stranger wave. Check you stores for these latest arrivals and more.
We’ve seen and received various reports that the newest wave of Black Series figures has starting to hit Target store around the U.S.. Might be worth a look now that the holiday season has settled and stores are resetting aisles for Spring.
Expecting to find nothing interesting at a local Gamestop tonight, I walked out pleasantly surprised by the amount of new TVC and TBS items this particular store had available. For a closer look, click here.
The above were found at a Walmart in the St. Louis area.
If you’re on the hunt for Hasbro’s new Epic Hero figures for your kids this Easter (or as an adult collector of course), hop on over to the Easter gift basket toy bin section at your local Walmart if you’re not seeing the figures having much of a presence in the standard toy aisle.
The latest wave of TVC figures (VC 106, VC 283, VC 284, VC 285) are starting to show up at various Target stores in the U.S. Your mileage may vary, as some stores have been getting in stock of older waves instead.
Good luck, and May the Force be with you on those toy runs!
The above pic was taken in Arnold, MO. But chances are your Target has these too.
Target is running a hefty sale through March 4 on most Black Series figures. If you’ve been waiting for markdowns on the items included in the sale, now might be the time to grab them before they get gobbled up by clearance buyers later.
Multiples of the above figures have been sitting on clearance at the Gamestop in Arnold, MO during the past few trips I’ve made there.
If you have a Gamestop in your neck of the woods, it might be worth your while to swing by and check out their clearance section – all clearance items are currently marked off 50% off the clearance sticker price.
Personal Note: In my finds, very new TBS are not included, nor are most TVC. But there were decent selections of various 6 inch figures and lots of oddball gift type items, stacks of Funko POPs, etc. An employee grumbled when talking to me tonight, and said they had just received 6 more huge boxes of clearance items from their warehouse that he had nowhere to display, and they needed to move a lot more by Christmas. It might be bit concerning by just how much unsold collectibles product Gamestop could be sitting on right now.
