Even during these dark times at retail, there may still be glimmers of hope, even at Target!
Thanks to forum member evilanimation for the tip, as he just scored the elusive Darth Malgus wave at his local Target store.

Episode VII Customizing Challenge
Just a friendly reminder that there are only a couple weeks left to submit an entry in the Episode VII Customizing Challenge we are hosting with our friends at Imperialshipyards!
This one is easy – all you need to do is create a custom figure of something you think we might see in the upcoming film, and post it in our forums! And if you post it in the forums at both sites, you have doubled your chances of winning a great prize (and these are by far the best prizes we’ve ever had for a customizing contest).

$4.99 Sale Ends Soon
Toys”R”us has been running a great sale over the past month – but as a reminder, this sale ends on Saturday.
Stores around the U.S. have been consistently restocking TVC figures for this, most notably the Deleted Scenes wave. So if you’re in the hunt for these figures, or just want some extra army builders / custom fodder for a good price, you’ve only got a few days left to take advantage of this price.

Customizer Spotlight: YakFace
Forum member YakFace is at it again, this time with pics of his 3.75″ scale custom Wampa… check out all the pics in his customizing thread… and while we’re at it, can someone at Hasbro please take note of this?
TVC’s status at Target
We’ve all been frustrated with the Star Wars retail situation over the past 12+ months – and Target has been one of the worst culprits places of all. What used to be a haven for new figures has become the land of the pegwarmers due to the tidal wave of Episode One product that Hasbro pushed last year.
Recently, Target clearanced out their TVC figures… but then today while on a toy run, I came across an interesting find at my local Target… for more details, click here.
New Fighter Pods at Target
Target stores are receiving the latest Figher Pod sets consisting of Jango Fett’s Slave One and a Geonosian Fighter – each set comes with eight mini figures. The sets are priced at $14.99. This one’s for the kids – and is a pretty cool item for an Easter present for the little ones.
1980s Cartoon Customs

More TJ Maxx Finds
Before Hasbro’s failed appoach with Movie Heroes, there was a time that the Big H consistently put forth quality figures in the Legends lineup – which appealed to both collectors and kids (did you forget that crossover appeal is important, Hasbro?).
And while Hasbro’s supply exceeded market demand with the Legends line, these figures were in much higher demand than the subpar Movie Heroes line… as there are still many desireable figures from the old Legends assortments – some of which are still showing up at TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores – priced at $4.99 each.
Your mileage may vary, but these sure do beat the uninspired Movie Heroes lineup from 2012 (at least in my book).
