Our friends at JediDefender are reporting that the Toys”R”Us Exclusive Vintage Y-Wing Fighter has hit retail in the US in Nebraska priced at an attractive $39.99. Head on over for JD member Brian’s report!
There are also more reports (via our other pals at JediTempleArchives, Sandtroopers, and Galactic Hunter) that the Vintage B-Wing has hit retail at Kmart all over the US.
While venturing out today in search of TVC wave 7 (which I didn’t find, BTW) I noticed that the Target store in my area have lowered their TVC pricing to match the Clone Wars and Saga Legends assortments. Hopefully this lower price will clear out the dregs and make way for new product.
No, they’re no leaving Target’s aisle yet, especially at this new price. As reported by our friends at Jedi Temple Archives, I too ran into the $16.29 Geonosis Arena Sets (previously $12.99) at my local MN Target. As a consolation, both Clone Wars Geonosis 2-packs were marked down to $11. Hey, let’s keep a little optimism here. : )

Then Justin is back with what’s he’s finding in stores and on-line including the Episode III Obi-Wan Kenobi mini-bust that went up for pre-order this week.
