No signs of the vintage stuff at the Target by my house today.

None near me either.  Brickseek/picker both made it seem like the targets will not carry these.  :-\

My Target had an endcap in the toy aisle but it just had some Star Wars shirts they moved over from men's clothing and some plush Tauntauns. Only 6 inch figure in stock was the AT-ACT Driver exclusive.

I opened my display stand that came with the Darth Vader figure this morning, and really like it.  I wish Hasbro would do more of this stuff, and for 3.75" figures as well.  Maybe they do pack-ins like this or mail-away deals, but it would be cool to do a new background (and maybe base) for each movie release, or at least periodically.

Nice work Hasbro!

Looks like Best Buy stores are offering at least the Darth Vader display pack.  Their web site says most of my local stores have this available. 

Target seems to be a little spotty in their rollout of this, so if you can't find this you might want to check Best Buy.

The shipper at Gamestop apparently has the Vader & Stand in there as well, though it's $45 versus the $40 elsewhere.

Apparently Walmart has no plans to carry these? I've seen a few remnants at Target and GameStop, and a lone Obi at TRU once. It's like every store that got these only got one case each and that's it. Weird rollout.

Is that confirmed?  I thought Walmart just hadn't reset with them yet.  They've only been out a week or two.

Yeah, sorry, they just seem behind the curve is all I meant. Although who knows, nothing would surprise me anymore. None of the Wallys around here have ordered any new 6" figures in months. I check Brickseek every few days just to see.

Do we know if Target is going to just have these on the endcap and are they going to sell the Titanium figs?

Dave,
What is the measurement on the size of the display? I'm still wondering if I have space for this.

I'm trying really hard to not make a "that's what she said" out of this...

I got Han and R2 at a Wally that really doesn't carry much in the way of toys compared to other Wallys.  So, debunked.

Cool! Did they have the Vader set too?
