|
|
 With the major chain store setting up for their mid-year toy sales, it is any one's guess what will show up. Hot on the tail of the AT-AT and RC Hailfire Droid is the first Wave of Vehicles in the Shadow of the Dark Side packaging.
 Featuring the All-New Bespin Cloud Car and Luke Skywalker's Snowspeeder, and a repack of Anakin Skywalker's Starfighter (from The Clone Wars) and the repainted Republic Fighter Tank (from "The Dark Times" issue #2). Republic Fighter Tank not shown. Look for these in the Red Circle Boutique aka Target for the rather reasonable $49 each.
While talking about vehicles, keep an eye out in Big W for last year's Anakin's Starfighter, Ashoka's Starfighter, the AAT, Corporate Alliance Tank Droid and the Republic Fighter Tank (original colour scheme) for less than $30 each!
And while you're in Target, keep an eye out for Basic Figures. Target seem to have scored an absolute truck load of 2009 Basic Figures - both Legacy and the last of the red Clone Wars. It appears that different stores have received different Waves of Legacy Figures. One store visited had up to 12 (or more) cases of THE PHANTOM MENACE Wave, while another had several cases of the RETURN OF THE JEDI Wave. Figures have the shelf tag of $18, but based of the shear volume of figures seen, I'm sure these will be heavily discounted come July 22nd. Stay tuned or join our forums to find out what's been found and where!

Forgot to mention that I found these in Target Knox City (Vic) and I grabbed myself a Republic Fighter Tank.

I wonder how much TVC figures will be, once the sale starts.
That's providing they get 'em in time. |

More info about what? Why Target has so many figures? And now too? Hopefully time will tell.
Hopefully, now that CF doesn't stock Hasbro, we can get local releases posted on the newspage and then link them to the Store Threads

good points and great news post!!
this is what i wanted to see when i mentioned opening up store threads in one of my suggestions to the site.Once the mods had knowledge that someone had found stock at a certain store-than it would become front news page worthy-the pics do it justice.Well done!!!
nothing new here in Newy..sigh |

Sorry CC, thought you had more info on the AT-AT, didn't realise that it was a result of that which led to your mod posting status.

No Probs. We didn't expect you to know. MD approached the Mods Privately. Mike S and I said we'd help out.

Under $30 is definitely decent.
Under $60 is reasonable.
Over $60 is just getting absurd.

No, Big W has the red/white packaging - last year's stock which has been "priced to move". Target has the NEW Shadow of The Dark Side packaging. The only vehicle that appears in both locations in it's original for is Anakin's Fighter.

Cloud Car for $50 is good, I'll grab at least one and have him pilot-less until that new figure comes out.
