Six inch swapper
There’s a six inch swapper on the loose in the St. Louis area. If you are aware of anyone who gets off on doing this, please tell that person to get a life. This is terrible for the hobby and depressing if any kid gets one of these as a present.

New 3.75″ Diorama Stuff
Yakface Forums member and expert diorama prop builder Raylen has just posted another great item for all you customizers out there… it’s a 3.75″ scale throne that can be used to seat various super articulated figures, such as this guy.

TVC and Walmart
Your mileage may vary, but if you aren’t seeing Hasbro’s new The Vintage Collection line at your local Walmart store, you may want to check the clearance aisle.

6″ Figures for 3 cents
Walmart has finally given up the glut of 6″ TBS figures from The Force Awakens and Rogue One – unable to sell some of these even at $5.00 each, some stores have lowered the price to mere pennies per figure in an effort to dump inventory (three cents each, to be exact). Be on the lookout in your area, and you might find Brickseek helpful in your searches.
Solo: Slow Stocking
As many of our fellow collectors have experienced, retailers seem to be on their own schedule (feels like a store-by-store basis) on getting new product onto the pegs for Hasbro’s latest lineup of Star Wars merchandise.
So if you haven’t seen many signs of new stock yet, it might just mean the stores you are hitting just haven’t made it a priority yet. I’ve seen this slow trickle in my neck of the woods, then yesterday found a Target that had finally set aside some time and shelf space to get new items out.
So, don’t give up too early – and share your finds too (or lack thereof) after the jump!
Solo Toy Launch
If you went out hunting for new Star Wars product on Friday, chances are you were pretty underwhelmed by what was on the pegs (i.e. lack thereof).
Personally, I found a few things I wanted after driving around a bit, but it was pretty sad to see just how little retailers seemed to care about having new product out for the April 13 street date (I could not find one single carded figure anywhere – I struggle with calling this as a “launch” at all).
If you did score some good stuff though, we’d love to hear about it and see pics in our forums.
