Rebels Vehicles: Loose In-Hand Pics
It’s been quite some time since collectors have had much to get excited about when it comes to Hasbro’s vehicle offerings. But that may change with the new assortment just now starting to hit from the Rebels line. I really don’t think my pics do these things justice, but I do believe these vehicles are worth every penny! For a better look, head on over to the forums!
Rebels Vehicles Hit Retail
With just a couple minutes to spare for a quick toy run to Toys”R”us today, I stumbled upon something not seen in quite some time by my weary eyes – 3.75″ scale vehicles worth picking up! Head on over to the forums for a closer look.
Personal Note: Priced at $22.99 each, these “mid-size” vehicles offer not only all-new sculpts, but are pretty well made too. No, they’re not Hasbro’s finest achievement but for what the retailers are charging, it seems like a very fair deal. These are light years better than all the Jedi Starfighters Hasbro’s been trying to force down our throats for years. I’ll be getting pics posted of them “loose” as soon as I can, and I can already say I want at least two more walkers. BTW, my son loves these.

Hasbro Toy Talk by Jodo
Forum member Jodo has posted a nice read on his blog about the issues we as collectors are facing these days.
Remember what it was like to actually look forward to walking into a retail store and know you had a fair chance at finding a Star Wars item you actually wanted to buy? Remember when Hasbro was more creative and able to interest kids with their toys? Do you recall the pre-2012 disaster with Hasbro, when they were doing an effective job at managing the Star Wars brand?
Check it all out at his blog, and share your thoughts too in our forums.
Target Stores Receiving Black Series Singles
There have been reports that Target stores are getting in “single figures” from The Black Series for a little while now rather than full cases. Understandably, some collectors have thought this information was incorrect. But this is certainly happening, as illustrated by the above evidence provided by Darth Chuck.
I have seen evidence of this on one occasion so far. Who else is seeing this? Is this an eye-opener for Hasbro? Head on over to the forums and let us know what you’re seeing at your local Target and share your thoughts on this interesting development after the jump!
