Reports are coming in that the newest repack/reissue wave of TVC figures has started to hit Walmarts across the U.S. For long time collectors these sculpts are probably in your collections already, but the human figures have been updated with Hasbro’s PhotoReal process and the card backs are different than previously released.
Target stores began putting their new Galaxy’s Edge product out today (new end caps set up in many instances). I picked up most of what I wanted, and saw several other collectors grabbing some new goodies as well.
Did you go out this morning looking for the new product at your local Target? Were you successful or did you come back disappointed? Let us know in the comments here or in our forums, and happy toy hunting!
While many collectors are still trying to get their hands on TVC figures from The Mandalorian, some Target stores are starting to receive the latest wave of figures that consists of Clone Commander Wolfe, K-2SO, Power Droid, and Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper).
Good luck on those toy runs, and let us know what you find here or in our forums!
Some Tuesday Morning locations have been putting out various figures from The Vintage Collection that were apparently never picked up at retail (potentially due to the Snoke / repack wave logjam). If you have one of these stores in your area, it might be worth making a quick stop to see what they have on the pegs. I’ve even heard that Death Troopers have been spotted in the wild.
Let us know what you’re seeing in your area here or in our forums.
Yesterday we reported via our social channels that first wave of the new 40th Anniversary Collection for The Empire Strikes Back as been found again at Meijer store and is eligible for their Buy 1, get 1 50% off sale. Thanks to Thomaiii on Instagram for passing the news on to us.
Some Walmart locations have reset their toy sections for January, and you may have noticed a bit of an expansion for the TVC basic figure peg space.
Let us know what you’re seeing in your area, and hopefully this is a positive sign for upcoming TVC retail distribution.
Over the past couple of weeks, 5 Below stores have been putting some older Rebels 2-pks on their pegs.
Be mindful though, the quality control on the paint apps appears to be pretty terrible from all samples I’ve seen, and others reported in.
We’re just a couple weeks before Christmas and a new film that Disney hails as the end of the Skywalker Saga. So this is supposed to be prime toy shopping season.
While some product is making it to retail, it seems like slim pickings if one is a TVC fan or doesn’t see the point in 5 poa “gold embossed” figures. TBS selections also seem pretty hit or miss.
Let us know what kind of success (or fails) you’re having in your Hasbro toy hunts after the jump!
If you’re looking to stock up on cheap Star Wars goodies or gifts for Christmas, be sure to keep Five Below in your toy run stops; as they continue to receive a variety of 6 inch figures.
As always, your results will vary, but it seems like there is no end in sight for Star Wars deals these days on older product that never saw their intended retail distribution.
Hasbro’s new zero-points of articulation figures in the 3.75″ scale are hitting Five Below stores.
Thanks to forum member vikingrobot for the report.
