Toys R Us is launching its biggest U.S. expansion in years, with 120 new standalone stores set to open in time for the holiday shopping season.
Time will tell if this has a positive impact on our hobby, but for now read more here.
Personal Note: My daughter went with me to the last day our local Toys R Us was open in June 2018. In a way, I feel part of her childhood was taken away by not having a major toy store to experience once she was 7 years old… she still remembers that day and is excited for when one hopefully opens in our area again, though of course it will never be the same.
The unannounced/leaked Black Series Range Trooper from Andor Season 2, has surfaced again. A few were found at ToysRUs in Canada via Dan Henderson on Facebook.
This figure will be a Target exclusive ($24.99) in the U.S. and should be available in April.
Instagram follower punkcomictoycollector send word of finding the Retro Collection Boba Fett (Prototype Edition) at their Toys R Us store in Mississauga, Ontario Canada.
U.S. collectors will have to wait until Target’s July 25th street date is lifted to acquire theirs.
ToysRus.ca jumped the gun a bit and has posted images for a couple rumored TVC Gaming Greats figures including the Shadow Stormtrooper from The Force Unleashed and the Heavy Battle Droid from Battlefront II.
Another Galaxy’s Edge Lightsaber Workshop set: “Protection and Defense” was found at ToysRUs in Canada. This too will be exclusive to Target in the US. Priced at $29.99. Image via Jeff S. On Facebook
For those that missed out on the first release of the Toys”R”Us Exclusive 6″ Black Series Commander Gree from 2017, word is (via the 6″ Black Series Collectors group on Facebook) that he may be available sometime again in the near future as distributors have started receiving solicitations and opening preorders again.
It’s been a while since we’ve reported one of these but with all of the reports of the Walmart Exclusive 6″ Black Series Mimban Stormtroopers FINALLY hitting stores en masse, I’ve noticed a variant. The version from Canada (Toys”R”US) looks to have silver accents painted on it while the Walmart versions in the U.S. feature a plain, unpainted blaster.
Our friends at Rebelscum (via Instagram) post this latest product leak from TRU in Canada. Apparently there is a Force slink two pack featuring C-3PO and R2-D2.
