Target Implements Security Measures for LEGO Sets
Upon making my usual stop at Target this morning, I noticed that they have started affixing foil, tamper-evident, security stickers on all of their LEGO sets priced $29.99 or higher.
It would be nice if Toys”R”Us would utilize this method of theft prevention instead of using those Spider security devices we’ve all seen marring the boxes of vehicles like the Millennium Falcon, Republic Gunship and AT-AT.
New 6″ Black Series Creeping into Target
Reports are sporadic at this point, but some collectors are finding the second series of Hasbro’s 6″ Black Series figures at Target stores.
Be on the lookout for these, as at the store I saw these, they were stacked behind a stack of Wave One Darth Maul and Luke figures… I almost didn’t realize they were there!
Scout Trooper Helmet Issue
Issues continue to mount with Hasbro’s 2013 line, ranging from questionable figure selections to bubbles falling right off the pegs… and now today I came across two Black Series Scout Troopers with severely warped helmet ridges…
Hopefully this is an isolated incident… but if it’s not, collectors will surely leave these on the pegs and kids that receive them as presents will be disappointed. Anyone else coming across this? Share your thoughts/reports after the jump!
LEGO Umbaran MHC Polybag Hitting Target
A heads-up for LEGO collectors, Target is starting to reset their aisle for the Halloween season and amongst the goodies, be on the lookout for the Umbaran MHC (Moblie Heavy Cannon) polybag set. I was able to find a few today at my neighborhood store.
Thanks to Star Wars Action News for alerting us to its availability (via Facebook)
Jedi Force Multi-Packs
One of Hasbro’s better toy offerings this Fall in my opinion isn’t even in the regular Star Wars section – it’s down by the Imaginext toys – it’s the Jedi Force Jabba’s Palace Rescue set. Priced at $16.99, ths is clearly one of Hasbro’s better values these days and is a great set. It would be nice for Hasbro to continue this format for a while and include some more creatures and cool centerpiece toys in this line for the younglings.
While your mileage may vary, I’ve seen this set at a handful of Targets – but not yet at Wal-Mart or Toys”R”us. Good luck hunting if you’d like to add this to your collection (or buy for a little one!).
Black Series Taped Fresh from the Case?
Yak Face reader Adam Vinson, writes in with an interesting find at his Target. It appears that the latest batch of The Black Series figure have the bubble taped fresh from the case in order to address the bubble adhesion issue. Here is his report:
Looks like Hasbro is reading the reports or at least Target is….Notice the tape, this was a fresh new case, all of the figures had it.
Shaken, Not Stirred: The BS Bubble Issue
You’ve read reports that the The Black Series 3-3/4″ line has an issue with the bubbles not being fully adhered to their respective card backs. Here is a video I shot this morning at my local Target. Do not try this in the store.
(Note: I bought this figure afterward)
