Yakfinities #42 – Mirrored Reflections, has been extended by one day – so all custom figure entries are due by 11:59 pm CST Sunday, January 1.
Random prize winners will be announced on Sunday, January 8 and will include more new figures from The Vintage Collection!
After the long holiday weekend, I hit up my usual Target stop this morning and found that they have placed their exclusive Luke’s Tauntaun, Landspeeder and Search for Luke Skywalker sets on clearance for $17.48 each. I also noticed that the Clone Wars Republic Attack Shuttle was down to $55.48. Your store’s clearance items may differ, but if you are looking for some post-holiday deals, start checking your stores ASAP as they won’t last long.
K & C Collectibles has taken 10% to 35% off select Clone Wars, Saga Legends and Vintage Action Figures. Also included are the Battle Packs, Figure with Vehicle and much more this week only. Click through for all the specials!
Recently, Yakface forum member Eopie Herder came through with some great pics of the 2012 Darth Maul from The Vintage Collection, and now he has posted some excellent images of this Sith Lord from the 2012 Movie Heroes lineup!
This figure is similar to a past version of Darth Maul, but appears to have some new tooling – check out his comparison images after the jump!
Yakreader EopieHerder sends in a shot of his TPM wave find at his local Target in North Carolina. With this news, it seems that this wave has made it from the West to the East Coast. It’ll only be a matter of time before it is at a store near you.
Also, forum member PadawanPapa reports that he found some in Southwest Virginia as well.
Yakface reader ScottfromTulsa sends a Twitter pic that he too found the TPM Vintage Collection wave at his local Oklahoma Target. Nice find sir!
K & C Collectibles has received new Revenge of the Jedi and Return of the Jedi carded Vintage action figures, the new AT-RT Walker with ARF Trooper and BARC Speeder with Buzz. In addition we have the new Clone Wars Gift pack. Click on through for the complete list.
Forum member TradeFederationSympathy posts in our forum his TPM wave find at his local Target in California. Click the image above to check it out in our forums.
Nice find TFS!
UPDATE: Forum member combatjedi posted an image of his partial TPM wave find in our forums as well.
Yakface forum member AaylaSecurasMan was able to score some of the 2012 TVC figures already at his local Target, and has shared some loose images for everyone’s viewing pleasure. Check them out by clicking here.
On a side note, how crazy is it that these are already hitting at Target, while online stores don’t even have them listed yet?
