Now that the dust is starting to settle following the Christmas rush, retailers are beginning to mark down some items in the toy section as they prepare for the new year.
Among the items being cleared out is the Target exclusive Shadow Squadron set, being spotted at many Target stores for $35.00. Wal-Mart is also slashing prices on the Jakks Pacific 31″ figures, down to $20.00. We’ve even seen a report of the 31″ Vader being found at Target for as low as $5.00 and some of the Target exclusive Hot Wheels sets being marked down too.

Once again, LEGO wins the holiday season as this morning I found most of the new 2015 LEGO sets at my local Target (Plymouth, MN). Click on through for a quick gallery of images.
Collector Tim Paul send in this photo of new Darth Maul and Stormtrooper (clean version) Hot Wheels character cars hitting his local (Bowling Green, KY) Target.
Even though most stores can’t seem to get the new single carded Rebels figures in stock, Toys”R”us is raising prices for the 5POA figure line. Head on over to the forums to see how much you can expect to pay for these there moving forward.
Personal Note: If they could just get the figures in stock, they’d have no problem moving figures like Chopper, Inquisitor, Kallus for a little more… there’s no doubt that the 5POA Rebels figures are an upgrade over the other Legends stuff from the past year or so… it’s just a shame that this stuff didn’t hit like it should have in time for Christmas gifts…!
The Hero Series X-Wing that Hasbro thought would inspire kids is now on clearance at Target, just two weeks before Christmas. If you want this item, chance are it will be able to be had for less than one Andrew Jackson bill soon.
While at Toys”R”us yesterday, I noticed that the Toys”R”us exclusive Endor Battle pack was marked down to an everyday price of $79.99. This may or may not be widespread, but if you are on the fence about this set – and especially if Toys”R”us runs any additional promotions, the price appears to be getting much better on this set.
Toys”R”us has another sale going on with Star Wars – the new 20% promotion runs through Wednesday, 11/26. Many items are also on sale online but be advised that most LEGO items are excluded from any sale price.
Note that Transformers merchandise are on sale too.
After a very tough run for Star Wars at retail, it seems like things are actually starting to improve – especially at Toys”R”us. Today I ran into the best selection of action-figure related Star Wars merchandise that I’ve seen anywhere in a long, long time. How goes it in your area? Let us know after the jump!
Toys”R”us is having a one-day sale that appears to have slipped under the radar – the Battle on Endor Battle Pack! Most of us already have the pack-ins from this set and it seems many of our forum members see this set as a waste of time, but it’s still a good value for this price. Sale valid in-store and online
Have you bought this set yet or does this sale price push you toward finally making this purchase? Head on over the forums and share your thoughts.
Personal Note: I think Hasbro should have dumped the AT-ST and added in the new Speederbike mold and a slightly revised POTF2 Endor Bunker (with new doors and new paint scheme) instead. I know I would have been more likely to purchase this set if that were the case, and I have a hunch many of you would have too.
The new Rebels vehicles have been showing up at various retailers recently, and now Target stores are getting in on the fun with their exclusive versions, which come with bonus pack-in figures. For $24.99 it’s hard to find anything complain about – even when Hasbro packs the figures upside down.
