A topic of rampant speculation for a while now, our friends at JediNews, courtesy of Dan Curto, have posted details of Target upcoming planogram for 2013. It appears that the Legacy Collection/Droid Factory/Build-A-Droid assortment has indeed been cancelled. Head on over to JediNews to read the full report. Stay tuned for more details as they develop.
The last time I checked, the pickings were slim on Hallmark Star Wars ornaments in my area, but yesterday I noticed a lot of different (non-Hallmark) Star Wars themed ornaments at Target, and they are all priced under $10.00. So you may want to head on down to your local Target if you’re needing a finishing touch or two on your Christmas tree!
Target is having a sale on basic figures this week. Vintage Figures are $6.99 each, while Movie Heroes and Clone Wars are $7.99 each.
Looks like several items are starting to hit clearance at Target. Reader Scott from Tulsa tweets finding the Darth Maul Returns Battle Pack marked down to $13.98 and various LEGO sets red tagged as well. Time to stock up for gifts and be sure to pick up a few extras for Toys for Tots!
As I was preparing to check out of my local Target this morning I noticed that the the LEGO Republic Attack Cruiser polybag has finally been replaced with the TIE Fighter (8028) Set. This is a simple repack from 2008 features 44 pieces.
UPDATE: Thanks to a tip from Adam Pawlus on Twitter, it looks like this and the MTT and Star Destroyer polybags are also available at Walmart.
WALMART stores are getting LEGO PDQs with polybagged sets. Includes MTT, TIE Fighter, and Star Destroyer for $3.96 per.

One of the cooler deluxe items from the Clone Wars has started showing up in heavier numbers recently, with sightings at various Wal-Mart and Target stores. Keep your eyes peeled for this one as two of the three times I’ve seen it, it’s been stuffed behind dust collecting Darth Maul speeders and also some STAP vehicles.
Of course if you don’t luck out and find one soon, there’s always a good chance that you’ll see these dumped at places like TJ Maxx and Marshalls next year…

Target is having a sale on basic action figures (Star Wars, Marvel, TMNT etc.) each for $7.99. While this sale might not help clear out the peg warmers at your local store, bring the ad into Toys”R”Us and they should price match the sale for you.
