The latest TVC offering is appearing at more Toys”R”us stores across the United States, and will set you back $129.99 if you’re so inclined to pick up this behemoth.
Note to Hasbro/TRU though – if this doesn’t sell all that well, just remember this is the 3rd packaging variation of the AT-AT in the past couple years! We do love the big items but we also need you to throw a well-executed Death Star playset and a Sail Barge into the mix!
Vintage fans take note. On May the 4th this fantastic vintage card back poster will be available for purchase from talented illustrator, Christopher Lee via dribbble. Here are some details on the piece:
My newest (and probably last) compendium poster pays tribute Star Wars and the iconic Kenner card back from the 80’s. This one in particular is the 92 card back which covered the entire basic figure assortment.
All of the characters were designed with the toys as reference. I took a few liberties, but the details are limited to what was provided by the figures alone.
The print will be in my shop by May the 4th (appropriately) 🙂
I’ll post a store link when I have it up.

The Endor Imperial AT-AT that many of us have been waiting to see at retail is finally showing up at Toys”R”us stores here in the states – thanks to forum member AaylaSecurasMan for the heads up!
For collectors curious as to the status of the Toys”R”Us Exclusive Endor AT-AT, we have just received an word from Hasbro that this now has an official US release date of June 1.
Last year’s third wave of TVC is continuing to show up in greater numbers now (about a year late!), which is good in a sense, but also one has to wonder if things would be better if this wave just showed up at discounters instead; considering this wave (like Wave 2) is smothered in seven more TPM carry forwards.
On any note, Toys”R”us seems to be the best place to have a chance at scoring newer figures lately, but reports are also coming in that Wal-Mart and Target are finally receiving more TVC shipments as well. Good luck, and as always, your experience will vary.

If you have a Kmart in your area, keep in mind that all clearance toys are an additional 50% off and this deal goes on until March 30.
Many stores have multiple areas where they pile up their clearance toys, which means if you dig a bit you might be able to score some great finds at drastically reduced prices, like forum member darthapathy did with the AT-ST crew members for just $5.50.
Even during these dark times at retail, there may still be glimmers of hope, even at Target!
Thanks to forum member evilanimation for the tip, as he just scored the elusive Darth Malgus wave at his local Target store.
