Target Clearancing Hasbro Product Galore

We posted a lengthy rant last month expressing our recent frustration with Hasbro, and it seems like the folks at Target may feel the same way given their latest round of Hasbro markdowns.

It isn’t just Star Wars product either… it’s GI JOE and Transformers product too… and the trend here is that all the items are ones aimed at kids, and really aren’t of high quality… they are often gimmicks or Hasbro scaling back on quality.  So what does that mean with the upcoming Movie Heroes line?  Will they pegwarm like these have been doing since the moment they were first stocked?

Hopefully Hasbro has a much better plan in store for next year… share your thoughts here or in our forums.

Star Wars: Hunt for the Holocron

Our very own DanoftheDead has been working behind the scenes with a group of close friends for many years to complete a fan made film, called Star Wars:  Hunt for the Holocron.

It appears all the hard work and dedication has paid off as their team is inching closer to releasing their film.  Check out their official site and while you’re at it, leave some feedback for Dan and his friends in our forums!

The Photnovol Section in the Yakface Forums has exploded over the last week with several new installments being posted by Star Wars fans from around the globe!

First, forumite jedimasteradi kicks things off with an all new OT-era series, titled The Adventures of Jared Yunis.

Next, fans of the Clone Wars series will be sure to want to read up on CloneCrazy’s relaunch of his Shroud of Darkness series that kicks off right after the events from the Battle of Geonosis.

Forum member Choi also gets in on the action,  as he shares another chapter in his Alliance Intelligence storyline that takes place shortly prior to the Battle of Yavin.

Last but not least, photonovel master hangarbay94 picks back up on his X-Wing Alliance series too!

Check them out and let these hard working customizers know what you think of their fan-fiction adventures!

You think your toy runs are frustrating…

053013malgus

Just yesterday, I came across a rare sight – a TVC Darth Malgus at my local Target.  After posting this recent find in our forums, Yakface reader Darth Bobo shared a Malgus find as well… but not exactly what he was hoping for.  Head on over to the forums for a closer look.

Personal Note – In this instance, the swapper put in a pretty decent B.A.D. figure in the Sith Lord’s stead (perhaps out of some sort of sense of guilt?), but figure swapping isn’t acceptable, regardless of what figure is replaced in the packaging.
