Thanks to a local collector friend of mine, I was able to find a complete set of TVC wave 3 (the Malgus Wave) at my local Target this morning. This marks the first time I’ve seen Malgus at retail let alone a complete wave of new figures since January.
Our friends at Sandtroopers.com have posted a new image today revealing a second Target Exclusive 3-pack that includes a Tusken Raider (Sand People), Boba Fett and a new Snaggletooth (aka Takeel)! Check it out at Sandtroopers.com
Upon the reveal of the new Target Exclusive Droid 3-pk by Sandtroopers.com, forums and social media outlets have been abuzz. Forum member JACKOFTRADZE over at JediDefender was quick to point out that Power Droid included in this set is actually a new sculpt and not a simple repaint of a previously released Gonk Droid mold. Based upon the discussions, I whipped up a quick analysis of the differences between this new sculpt and the prior versions to point out just where some of the differences lie.

Forum member Grimace found a nice assortment of Vintage Collection figures today at his local Target in Central Iowa. Hopefully the dam will break soon for those in need.
Nice find!
Our friends at JediDefender are reporting that next week starting Sunday, 5/27 through 6/2, Target is having a Buy One, Get One 50% Off sale on Star Wars merchandise (excluding LEGO, of course). Hopefully this will be just the thing to clear the pipeline for newer waves of TVC, Movie Heroes and Clone Wars figures!
Target has placed all of their Star Wars LEGO sets on sale this week. Head to your local store or Target.com to check out the deals.
