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.
Brian’s Toys has released their latest newsletter this week. Check out the newest pre-orders from Hasbro and Sideshow, helmets from eFX Collectibles, several retired LEGO Star Wars sets, Vintage Kenner items and more.
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.
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have posted their annual Vintage vs Modern figure special report which runs down all of the figures from the 1978-1985 figures which have a modern day “definitive” sculpt. Head on over for a great read.
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.
Target is having a sale on basic figures this week. Vintage Figures are $6.99 each, while Movie Heroes and Clone Wars are $7.99 each.
ToysRUs has once again dropped the price of the Vintage Millennium Falcon to a stellar $125.00!
Thanks to JediJoe for the heads-up!
Great news, STAR WARS action figure fans! Hasbro will be re-issuing “fan favorites” from the popular VINTAGE line. We heard fans loud and clear, and as such only the “best of the best” characters from previously released waves will be featured in the revived line.
