Target Clearance Update
It appears that most Target stores are slashing their clearance prices down to 70% 0ff – which means if you can score any 2012 TVC figures at this price, you’ll be paying about three bucks a figure. So now is the time if you want to try and grab some cheap custom fodder, army builders, etc.
Customizer Spotlight: OG Trilogy
Diorama guru OG Trilogy returns with yet another masterpiece, with a ton of great photos which you can check out by clicking here.
Note: Isn’t it a shame that Hasbro has continued to deny their customers any sort of diorama/playset such as the great set featured above? Or something like this mockup?
Instead, the creative minds at Hasbro come up with this…
Episode VII Customizing Contest
Once again, we have teamed up with our good friends at Imperial Shipyards for a joint customizing contest. The theme is simple – make a custom of something you think we might see in the upcoming film, Star Wars: Episode VII, and post a pic of your work in our forums at Yakface, or in their dedicated thread.
Check out all the details by clicking on the above banner, including the cool prizes we’ll be giving away!
Customizer Mega Spotlight
After what most collectors are calling a lackluster showing from Hasbro at Toy Fair, at least we still have our customizing community to get excited about! So without further adieu, we’ve got several more great custom works to show off!
First off, forum member glitchedwolf shares several great customs, including a battle hardened Stormtrooper unit that you can check out here.
Next up, Scarrviper has added a couple of crisp Rebel Technicians from Return of the Jedi.
Amazing customizer DarthDaddy also gets in on the fun with a very cool Jedi General that you can see more pics of here.
Last but not least, check out this interesting take on Luke Skywalker by WookieBalls.
Class II Vehicles at Toys”R”us
The 2013 shrunken down “mid-sized” vehicles have begun to show up at Toys”R”us stores and I came across them today in the St. Louis area. They are priced at $21.99.
Not a bad price, but personally it’s hard to get excited by smaller versions of vehicles that we already have… I’d like for Hasbro to realize that much of the problem with the 2012 mid-sized vehicle failure wasn’t the price, it was that everyone already had the vehicles they were trying to push… but enough of the rant, good luck on those toy runs if you’re looking for these!
Yak’s Pub Strikes Back
