Finding good figures at retail these days is no easy tasks, but reports are trickling in that indicate Toys”R”us is still getting in post-Episode One TVC figures for the current sale that runs through March 16.
With what could be shaping up to be a very disappointing Fall right around the corner with the lackluster range of figures we’ve seen for The Black Series, this sale could be one of the few enjoyable moments of 2013 when it comes to Star Wars collecting. So keep Toys”R”us on your stops list and good luck!
It appears that most Target stores are slashing their clearance prices down to 70% 0ff – which means if you can score any 2012 TVC figures at this price, you’ll be paying about three bucks a figure. So now is the time if you want to try and grab some cheap custom fodder, army builders, etc.
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have alerted us that various individual figures from TVC Wave 16 are in-stock for $9.21 each. The available figures are non-mint so they are great for openers!
Toys”R”Us is running another BOGO 50% off sale this week, which is a good buy if you can score TVC figures at this price. Especially since they are the only retailer from my experience over the past year that has consistently stocked figures (sales like this will help do that!).
It looks like various items are heading to clearance at Target this week. Upon checking one of my local store this morning, I found Vintage Collection figures are marked down to $6.98, TVC 3-packs are $17.48, Class II Vehicles (Podracers, AAT, etc.) are $23.08, Darth Maul Returns Battle Pack $9.98 and Early Angry Birds Star Wars Sets are $6.98. Your store may have a few additional (or less) items available but if you’re looking to pick up some stuff on the cheap, now is the time.
For several weeks it seems, I have watched in envy as other collectors have shown off their very cool Jocasta Nu figure from Brianstoys… I mean heck, I ordered mine back on July 20, so what’s the deal?
Thanks to a prompt from forum member Grimace, I went ahead and emailed their customer service just a few days ago – and magically my order arrived today.
Coincidence? I think not. So if you’re been sitting around waiting on your order since last summer, it may worth a moment to send them a kind email inquiring about your order. But remember, be nice. Rudeness gets you nowhere.
While doing some Christmas shopping this weekend, I noticed that a ToyZam store had opened at my local mall, and they have assorted TVC figures, ranging from some later waves all the way back to the first wave of TVC.
They are priced a little steep at $11.99, but are on sale at Buy 1 Get 1 50% off – so if you have one of these stores in your area, it might be worth your while to check them out.
Our friends at Galactic Hunter have alerted us to a great sale on the Kmart Exclusive AT-ST for only $19.79. A great opportunity to score one if you’ve passed on it thus far. You can also check out our toyguide entry for the complete details.
