Reports are flying about that the TPM wave of Vintage Collection figures have hit retail at Target in the US. They have been found in Utah, Arizona and California. South of the border in Mexico, the first wave of Movie Heroes sporting the new Darth Maul packaging design have hit retail as well. Seems like Christmas has come a little early for some folks.
Our friends at JediDefender are reporting that Vintage Collection figures, specifically wave 4 (AOTC), have been found at TJ Maxx and for the super low price of $4.99! Head in over for the pic and check those stores if you have them in your area.

Here is a quick update from bigbadtoystore.com about another batch of cool new pre-orders and more new arrivals.
Yakface Forum Member Eopie Herder has posted some detailed images as well as a breakdown of the upcoming Vintage Collection Darth Maul. By the looks of it, Hasbro got this one right! Head on into the forums to see for yourself.
Ever since Hasbro released photos of the VC #15 Clone, I was afraid it would bomb at retail because of the ginormous helmet, and bulky body sculpt. A bad situation was made worse when most of the figures ended up with lemon-yellow helmets before they even made it to the pegs.
Being very frustrated with this for over a year now, I finally rolled up my sleeves and found a very simple way to make a much better Phase II Clone Trooper. Not only is it one of the easiest custom modifications I’ve ever seen, it’s also one of the most effective.
This change literally only takes a few minutes. So check out how to do this for yourself and finally have the Phase II Clone Trooper that Hasbro should have made after the jump!
