We just received the above tweet from @sandman804 contradicting previous claims that there would be a bonus disc included with the Target Exclusive edition of The Force Awakens.
The email from Target states that bonus content will be available through digital download via a unique code.
Target has posted the details for their exclusive Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital version of The Force Awakens coming on April 5.
Only at Target: Collectible packaging, plus 20 minutes of exclusive bonus content, including a never-before-seen interview with Daisy Ridley and John Boyega, and a deeper look at the movie’s weaponry.
UPDATE: Disney has confirmed that it will be available in advance as a digital download on April 1.
Here is an interesting, if not hilarious, store find. Local collector Phil G. sends in a couple photos from an area Target store (Quarry) that has figures affixed with a custom “No Rey” sticker in the style of the Free Boba Fett sticker from the Vintage Kenner era. This sticker reads:
NO REY
No matter how many figures you purchase
(See #wheresrey for details)
Today’s routine Target run proved fruitful today as I ran across a few new figures from The Force Awakens. Click the embedded tweet for shots of the Hassk Thug, Sidon Ithano with Quiggold and Snap Wexley with First Order Snowtrooper Officer.
Twitter follower @clonecustoms also sends word that the Snap Wexley/First Order Snowtrooper Officer and the Sido Ithano/Quiggold two pack are hitting Target, in Michigan, as well.
Twitter follower Bob Nash tags us with a great Target store find. Check out his scored from Michigan which include FN-2187, Unkar Plutt, Old Captain Rex and 12″ Rey.
Things aren’t always as dark as they seem when it comes to store reports. It often depends on where you live or how fast your store shifts/turns over merchandise. So, you can have a very disparate experience than other collectors across the nation. Here is one of my Target stores (Plymouth, MN) on any typical day.
Today, Disney Interactive introduced a new set of six playable limited edition Star Wars™ Light FX character figures for Disney Infinity 3.0 Edition. The collectible figures have Lightsabers™ that light up when placed onto the Disney Infinity Base and include Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader from Star Wars™ Rise Against the Empire, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars™ Twilight of the Republic and Kanan Jarrus from Star Wars Rebels™.
