About That Target Ad….

We’ve received multiple reports regarding the 20% off Star Wars toys (and other items) ad that dropped on Sunday. Due to the vagueness of the terms of the ad, customers/collectors are having to get a managerial override for their purchase(s) to take advantage of the discount. Based on a conversation with Target Guest Experiences, the ad can be determined as misleading and stores should honor the 20% discount on any Star Wars purchase(s). Customers can call Target at 1-800-440-0680 to inquire about the promotion and how it can be interpreted as misleading.

UPDATE: Rumor Report: 6″ General Grievous (Target Exclusive)?

A 6″ Black Series General Grievous figure has been rumored for a long time and a few months ago I happened upon a UPC thought to be assigned to this figure. I’ve been checking my usual sources since then hoping for some additional confirmation, and then yesterday while hunting about Brickseek, the UPC finally triggered a corresponding item for $29.99 at Target. The price does fall inline with the likes of the Gamorrean Guard and Moloch, so I’m going with my gut here and thinking that this will also be Target’s exclusive in the US.

That being said, were probably still six months out from its release so release dates may change (see TVC and TBS Mimban Stormtrooper and TVC Rey). Until then, save the above info for your reference and we’ll update when more definitive details are known.

UPDATE: So new info has come to light and the exclusivity of Grievous may be in flux — to the point where it may not be an exclusive at all and just part of a series of Deluxe 6″ Black Series figures.

Always in motion is the future.
