Load the Barge!
Since we got Hasbro’s attention with the “Build the Barge” campaign, why don’t we let them know who we’d like to see fill that Sail Barge (along with Skiff Guards and Jabba’s Palace denizens)?
Rules are the same as the other Yak’s Top Tens:
- Pick up to 10 figures you’d like to see done in 3.75” The Vintage Collection scale.
- If submissions have more than ten entries, only the first ten will be considered!
- Do not list multipacks as a single entry.
- Only one vote per character.
- All figures are eligible, whether it’s a new figure, a repaint, re-issue, deluxe, etc.
- Feel free to add descriptions to any of your choices, such as pack-ins.
Voting will end on September 10 – you can do so by posting in the forums or in the comments section of this article.

Black Series Enfys Nest Hitting Target Stores
This is not breaking news, but the new 6″ Enfys Nest w/ Swoop Bike has been showing up at various Target stores recently, including the St. Louis area over the past week. It might be worth an extra stop if you’re interested in picking up this set.
From Russia with Love
Forum moderator darthvlad is oveseas in Russia right now (Nakhoda, to be precise), and sent in a couple pics of the Star Wars section of a local retailer he visited. It’s worth the look to see what the selection is of Hasbro product that he has come across.
Personal Note: I will stop complaining about the lack of anything TVC related at U.S. Walmart stores for a while after seeing this sadness… but just for a while.
New Force Link 2.0 Figures Hitting Walmart
Walmart may be clueless how to distribute collector geared Star Wars action figures these days, but many stores have continued to stock the “kid aimed” Force Link waves with a hint of regularity (though in many areas, not at all!).
On any note, the latest wave is popping up at various Walmart stores (reports vary from $3.00, $5.00, to full MSRP), so be on the lookout if you’re looking to acquire them.
Hot Wheels Concept Series
I haven’t seen these anywhere besides Gamestop, but for $4.99 these little Hot Wheels Concept Series vehicles scream old school Star Wars to me and are an automatic purchase.
For all I know, they’re hitting Walmart, Target, etc. – but I’ve seen no evidence of this in my neck of the woods but they really are fun oddball items.
Thoughts? Would anyone like the see an upsized 3.75″ scale TIE Fighter like this at some point from Hasbro? I think I would.

Walmart 6″ Markdowns
These don’t appear to be a widespread markdown, but I came across some surprising prices on new TBS stuff at a St. Louis area Walmart today… seems to be yet another sign of trouble with the brand right now. Anyone else finding similar prices at their area Walmarts? Let us know!
