If your toy runs have been coming up empty lately, it might be worth your time to swing by your local Gamestop to see if the situation there is any better. Nearly every time I stop by one lately, I find something I want to pick up, like the new Rebel Fleet Trooper.
Good luck out there and let us know about your recent acquisitions after the jump!
This is not breaking news, but the new 6″ Enfys Nest w/ Swoop Bike has been showing up at various Target stores recently, including the St. Louis area over the past week. It might be worth an extra stop if you’re interested in picking up this set.
Forum moderator darthvlad is oveseas in Russia right now (Nakhoda, to be precise), and sent in a couple pics of the Star Wars section of a local retailer he visited. It’s worth the look to see what the selection is of Hasbro product that he has come across.
Personal Note: I will stop complaining about the lack of anything TVC related at U.S. Walmart stores for a while after seeing this sadness… but just for a while.
Walmart may be clueless how to distribute collector geared Star Wars action figures these days, but many stores have continued to stock the “kid aimed” Force Link waves with a hint of regularity (though in many areas, not at all!).
On any note, the latest wave is popping up at various Walmart stores (reports vary from $3.00, $5.00, to full MSRP), so be on the lookout if you’re looking to acquire them.
A few days ago, I scored the new 6″ Bespin Han at Gamestop (only 6″ Star Wars figure they had). So, if you don’t feel like trying to track this down at a big box retailer or online, you might want to swing by your local Gamestop if you have time and try your luck!
Personal Note: This is my favorite Han so far in this scale. Truly awesome. Pick this one up you see it, I think you’ll be a fan even if you don’t collect this scale.
These don’t appear to be a widespread markdown, but I came across some surprising prices on new TBS stuff at a St. Louis area Walmart today… seems to be yet another sign of trouble with the brand right now. Anyone else finding similar prices at their area Walmarts? Let us know!
While out and about today, I swung by my local Gordmans store (thanks to a tip from St. Louis area collector Darth Stringfield) – and saw a huge amount of AT-ACT’s for $70.00 each (and a handful of basic Rogue One figures for $2.99 each).
Personal Note: Even if you didn’t care for the way Hasbro engineered this walker, for this price, I don’t feel you can go wrong. Even if one gets it just for a shelf display, it’s still really cool. You can also check to see if you have a Gordmans within reasonable driving distance from you on their store locator.
Yakface forum moderator Jodo spotted Uncle Milton’s new line of Xcacations at retail over the weekend (Walmart – Edwardsville, IL area) – this new line hasn’t received much publicity, but they look kind of fun, especially the upcoming Rancor and Tauntan sets.
Whatcha think? Share your thoughts in the forums!
Target stores are continuing to lower the prices on select items in The Last Jedi packaging style, including the Return of the Jedi Battle Pack set, for as low as $7.48. As always, your mileage may vary.
