Our friend JD has sent in a few more images of the Walmart 8-pks revealing that some of those hard to find light-up figures and others (Anakin, Padme, Jar Jar) from Movie Heroes wave 2 will be included in these sets as well. Click on through for a few more images.
We’ve received some additional details (see our original report here) surrounding next week’s Walmart Exclusive 8-pks available for Black Friday starting on Thursday night. Thanks to a Walmart employee we’ve received a few images showing that there are several (as many as 8) different assortments covering figures from the 2010 Saga Legends, 2010 Clone Wars and 2012 Clone Wars lines. Click on through to check them out.
Thanks to JD for the report.
Walmart.com has this year’s LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar on sale for $39.00
Walmart’s Black Friday Ad has dropped and it looks like they are going to have an exclusive 8-pack of Saga Legends* figures for $25.00. This promo is available in-store only and after 8pm on Thanksgiving Day.
*As of yet there is no word if the 8 figures are this same in each set or just a cobbled together assortment of overstock. But it’s a sure bet there is nothing worth getting here unless you are looking for troop builders.
Our sponsor Big Bad Toy Store is now taking pre-orders for the Walmart Exclusive “Wolf Pack” Ultimate Gift Set. As revealed first by Sandtroopers.com, this set includes Plo Koon, Clone Commander Wolffe, Clone Trooper Boost and Clone Trooper Sinker with the clones sporting their Phase II armor. Expected arrival date is late 2012.
It’s no secret that collectors have been extremely frustrated by Hasbro’s case assortments, carry forwards and figure selections for a while, but now it appears that Wal-Mart might sick of it too.
Head on over to JediTempleArchives.com for some interesting information they’ve come across regarding the Movie Heroes line, and share your thoughts in their discussion or here in our forums.
I stumbled across this nice little Star Wars item over the weekend at Walmart in the back-to-school section. It is a small tin box with a hinged lid. It measures about 4″ x 9″ x 1.5″ and features the famous Hildebrandt artwork. You can pick these up for a very reasonable $2.47 each.
Our friends at JediDefender are reporting that the Vintage Collection Wave 5 (Tarkin Wave) has been found at Walmart in Eastern Iowa. Let us know if you come across these new figures in our forums, in the comment section or on facebook.
Yakface Reader Nic S. writes in to report finding new Star Wars Earbuds at his local Walmart. There are 4 styles to choose from: Darth Vader, Yoda, Darth Maul and C-3PO and retail for about $10 each. These were originally shown as mock-ups at Toy Fair 2012 by Jazwares.
Yakface reader EopieHerder tweets today that he found some new Clone Wars figures at his local Walmart. Hopefully this means that the insufferable lull in new product is finally coming to an end. Nice find Anthony!
