There was a lot to take in over the weekend with the new product announcements and initiatives from Hasbro at Toy Fair 2018. For an overview of the products revealed, click on through to checkout press release images for Force Link, Black Series and Vintage Collection products.
Thanks to Cargo Hold co-host Chris K. for the links.
Target’s Cartwheel app is currently offering 50% off the already discounted Force Link BB-8 Mega Playset bringing the cost below $50. Offer expires Feb. 21.
Series 2 of the bling bag assortment of Micro Force figures from Hasbro have started hitting Target. I found the above here in Minnesota, collectors of this line and its previous iteration, Fighter Pods, may want to be on the lookout. Series 2 features mostly new sculpts from The Force Awakens and Rogue One, but also has a couple prequel characters to round out the wave.
Many across the country are finding deep discounts on 6″ Black Series whether through errors in the system at Target for Wave 15, or clearance markdowns to $5 each at Walmart. For a few weeks, the 3.75″ Black Series was down to $8.84 but tonight I found them for $4.00 (Brooklyn Park, MN). There were dozens of Ackbar, Ahsoka and Lando but I did manage to score a couple Imperial Death Troopers and Cassians for customs, trooper building and diorama filler.
For those that are still collecting POP! figures from Funko (and merchandise from The Last Jedi), keep your sensors peeled at Target as they’ll soon be received an exclusive Resistance BB Unit.
BrickSeek has added a new UPC and DPCI for the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story Flagship/Playset with (3.75″) figure coming in April from Hasbro. The MSRP is $99.99. We added this to the growing Master List of UPCs/DPCIs and Walmart SKUs for 2018.
UPDATE: Pure speculation on my part but the “flagship” may be a prototype star destroyer as we revealed in this post regarding Hot Wheels Starship coming out for Solo.
TargetGod sends word that Target will be offering 50% off the full range of Forces of Destiny figures as well as the Force Link BB-8 2-in-1 Mega Playset starting next week and running through Feb 17.
Using the power of Brickseek and the assistance of TargetGod, I was able to locate 3 new sets of product UPCs and Target DPCIs for upcoming Black Series products from Hasbro. In the image above, you’ll see listings and pricing for a 6″ medium vehicle (Dewback with Sandtrooper?), possible new Centerpiece figures (Rey and Kylo?), and a new, most impressive helmet (Darth Vader?).
We have a handful of new UPCs and Target DPCIs to share today (via Brickseek) for product slated to arrive with the launch of Solo: A Star Wars Story products in April. The codes relate to Hasbro’s Class A assortment of Force Link vehicles/creatures and their line of Deluxe Hero Series figures. Click on through of the list.
Retailers are wasting no time starting their post-Christmas/end of year clearances. I braved my local Target this morning (Plymouth, MN) and snapped a few pics and grabbed a few items as well. At this particular store, you can find the Black Series Centerpiece Vader and Luke for $14.98 (reg. 49.99), Black Series Rogue One 3 pk for $17.98 (reg. $59.99), Target Exclusive Era of the Force Action Figure 8pk. for $19.98 (reg. 39.99) and Poe Dameron’s Ski Speeder for $19.98 (reg. $39.99). Head to your local store to find deals like these and more, and of course, your selection may vary.
