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.
Facebook reader Tom R. tips us off to another large in-store sale at Toys”R”Us starting this Sunday, October 5. All Star Wars figures, vehicles, role-play will be Buy One, Get One 50% Off*. Plus, next Saturday, October 11 they are holding a LEGO event where kids can build a mini LEGO Ghost from Star Wars Rebels!
*BOGO sale not valid on LEGO or Halloween costumes.
Yakface forum member Trooper31 was able to score the new Rebels Series Stormtrooper, which looks to have a pretty nice paint job, but appears to be suffering from inconsistent plastic coloring.
For those of you planning to collect this line, how will a possible army of half white/half yellow-armored Stormtroopers affect your army-building approach? Head to the forums for a closer look and to share your thoughts.
ToysRUs this week is offering their popular Buy 1, get 1 40% sale* valid on all Star Wars action figures, role play and kids furniture items. Might be the perfect opportunity to build a nice squad of 6″ Speeder Bikes and Biker Scouts.
*Excludes LEGO and Halloween costumes
With the new Toys”R”us reset, obviously most of us are hoping this means better things for the collector lineup’s distribution. Today I came across some Wave 4 figures for the first time at a Toys”R”us; which was a sight for sore eyes.
Now is the time to start getting back to the hunt, but as always these days, your chances of success on toy runs are not what they used to be… but perhaps things may be back on the upswing?
Forum member Grimace has shared several pics of Hasbro’s new Inquisitor’s TIE Advanced Prototype in the forums. It looks to me like Hasbro has hit another home run here, meaning all three of the new Rebels mid-size vehicles surpass most of Hasbro’s other recent efforts. Head on over to the forums for a closer look, and to share your thoughts.
It’s been quite some time since collectors have had much to get excited about when it comes to Hasbro’s vehicle offerings. But that may change with the new assortment just now starting to hit from the Rebels line. I really don’t think my pics do these things justice, but I do believe these vehicles are worth every penny! For a better look, head on over to the forums!
