At 5 bucks a pop unpunced...Five Below has quickly jumped up on the "My favorite stores" list.
I did not collect during the Toy Biz LOTR era. I had a question about the Treebeard figure from that line and how it might compare scale-wise to this line. I see on ebay there were 2 versions of him, a 7 inch and a 15 inch.
Which version would be more accurate to this line? Can anyone post pics of either Treebeards with figures from this line on him? I guess preferably putting a Bilbo figure on him might be the best for a comparison.
I'd have to drive 274 miles to get to the closest Five Below.
Not a sale per se, but I have it from a friend who runs a 5 Below that she got an email regarding the "new" (new for that store) Vintage Figures.
She told me they got word that there was to be a Star Wars wheel barrow display going up in the near future at the front of the store, similar to last year. She wouldn't commit to saying it would have new product, but she got word from higher up to do the display after Halloween's display comes down or something along those lines, and she said usually that means new cases of stuff.
She said they don't always know what's coming, but usually those displays get new items. It's probably what's been found (AOTC Clone, AT-RT Driver, any remaining AOTC wave stuff too), but she said she's sure her higher-ups were really pleased with sales of figures last year. They were floored, actually, and she said they're "aggressively" trying for more because it was a bit of an experiment that went smashingly.
I managed to pick up remnants of Wave 2 yesterday, all three of the zombies, no Shane or Rick. There wasn't even a space on the shelves for them at TRU, they just threw them up next to the sports figures.
Nice score Greg! Can you post the receipt code or upc used? I asked around at my local TRU today, but no one could even find it in the system.
The tank was underscaled to begin with too, and I really don't see that doing well either... I think going smaller isn't really going to help things much. I know I personally will buy even less but I hadn't been buying much to begin with.
Also, 5 guys who were stuck in cafeteria for better part of a year would be near crazy, I'd think. I'm not sure why any of them would want to stay in prison. They damn sure would not be so neat looking...was the barber shop in there, too?
