While swinging by my local Toys”R”us store today to grab a few more figures from The Hobbit, I noticed that all Star Wars figures are Buy 1 Get 1 Free – while the selection consisted mostly of repacks, it’s still a very noteworthy sale!
It’s unknown if this is a national sale, but from what I recall, the stickers said the sale runs at least until sometime in November! I will correct that if I am wrong, but that’s what my fading memory tells me… unfortunately, my cell phone pic didn’t capture the image clear enough to clarify.
Reports are starting to trickle in from around the country that Toys”R”us stores are putting out their latest cool exclusive out! Forum member Aaylasecurasman scored them today in Arizona, and I was lucky too and found them in St. Louis tonight… and with today’s one day coupon for Buy 1 Get 1 75% off any Hasbro Star Wars item there, the second one was only $5.50!
Hopefully things at retail this Fall will be better than the first 8 months of the year…?
UPDATE – Loose pics have now been added, including a size comparison to the old speederbike mold.
Toys”R”us is running a Labor Day sale that is good through Monday – all Hasbro Star Wars items are Buy 1, Get 1 50% off. Might be a good time to try and score those exclusive Ewok and Yavin sets! Good luck!

Hasbro’s distribution continues to lag behind market expectations, but LEGO still seems to have things figured out, as forum member drod26 recently found the new Jabba’s Palace set at his local Toys”R”us store.

Thanks to a local collector friend of mine, I was able to find a complete set of TVC wave 3 (the Malgus Wave) at my local Target this morning. This marks the first time I’ve seen Malgus at retail let alone a complete wave of new figures since January.
