Wait listed on the Wampa, I was delayed for 3 minutes before I could log on.  ::)This is good practice for Hasbro Toy Shop on the 28th.

The Star Wars 3.75" Action Figure Base Pack Stands are on sale again at EE - $9.00 for 40 stands.  Good price if you need them. :)

Looks like Walmart is getting ready to reset their Star Wars offerings. One walmart I went to today had the entire area cleared except for the latest wave 8 TBS series. Scored Rex, Doom, Thorn, C-3po and some Jawas. The entire wave was present. The other Walmart had an endcap setup with the entire wave 8 TBS figures and some miscellaneous lightsabers. There were signs that said More Star Wars toys on Sept 4th. 6" Speeder Bike and Jabba were reduced to $19.95. 

Target completely removed their few Star Wars toys. They weren't on the shelves at all. No place for them but it looks like some temporary Jurassic World stuff was put there in its place.

TRU hasn't changed except for the new Box Busters and some rebranded TFA science toys. No figures at all.

About half the ones around here are like that, the other half have been consigned to a tiny corner of real estate in some other toy aisle on clearance.

I think TRU needs to go ahead and clearance those Rebels vehicles as well, what are they waiting for?

Did they clearance it out, or disappear it?

Some of the Targets around me have removed their Star Wars section, but I never saw much of it go through the discount steps.  I think most of it just got removed.

I hope most of it doesn't make its way back on to shelves come 9/4.

Everything that's left is on a clearance aisle.  If you want Jabba for $17.50, now's your chance.

Another Biker Scout and speeder bike might be attractive at that price!

With all the talk of discounts and clearance I was surprised to see that WalMart is holding at full price on TBS 3.75" figures.  I saw the last wave at a local store, but the figures were all $12.83 each.

TRU had Biker Scouts for $20 as well.  Seems like everyone (except Wal-Mart) is moving the old stuff out completely.

I found 5 Biker Scouts @ Target today for $18.  Picked up 3 just for the scouts.  Anyone want extra Speeder Bikes?

I hit several Targets over the weekend, most of which have been clogged with Jabbas and Speeder Bikes for months. While they were all on clearance, I was amazed to see that ALL of the boxes were damaged, and these had all been near-mint to begin with. It's like the employees decided to rip open the bubbles and crush the boxes as they transferred everything from one aisle to another. ???
