I'm in Greensboro, NC for work and spotted a lone Hunter on the pegs at a Target. Left it there since I have it on preorder from... somewhere online (too many preorders to keep track of)

Probably over a decade ago it was a daily stop for me.  The photo archive is still a good resource, especially for determining when something was released and what it originally sold for.  That is really the only thing I have used the site for recently.

That is probably the only reason I've gone to their site over the past four years also.

Same, in addition to their "Local Store Finds" section in the forums. But a lot of locals got out of collecting before the Sequels came out, so I haven't been to RS in years.

That Han was an awful figure in 2013, and is still awful today. Luke still looks really bad, and I already have 2 versions of that Luke thanks to them repacking it with the Landspeeder vehicle. Greedo looks like it might have a dirtier/darker paint job but I don't know. All 3 of these are easy passes though, but good for people who have POTF2 nostalgia or missed these characters earlier.

One of the main characters from the series, and a highly popular character that most people weren't able to get the original version of, and both are exclusive... to Walmart?

I was somehow able to secure Echo today using the Store Pickup in the Target App; I guess a local store got some in and I was early enough for them to actually go to the aisle and grab the figure for me. So now I only need the Kenobi.

Still in stock 90 minutes later.  That's new.

I got mine PO'd 4 hours after they went up. Wondering if there's low demand because these are Disney movie figures?

Didn’t Hasbro update the deco on the 6” TBS A New Hope Leia for the 40th Anniversary Collection? 

ANH 40AC was just before Hasbro started using Photoreal (IIRC the first Photoreal wave was late 2017 with Island Rey, DJ, and Captain Rex), but they did reshape the head for the ANH 40AC figure. The original figure from 2016 was really "fat" and they slimmed it down.

Oh my God, I cannot believe these madmen actually did it. Rereleases of some of the biggest pegwarmers of the entire 6 inch line! And two of the three new figures are exclusives, to Target, so good luck fighting over the 5000 figure production run.

I mean I'll admit that the new Photoreal faces look GREAT, but I'll wait for the rest of those to join their 2016 brethren at Five Below.

The only exciting thing there are the Pipeline reveals. I wonder if the HasLab project will be something Jabba's Palace related? Maybe a rerelease of Jabba with a throne room diorama, to go with the ROTJ Bib Fortuna? A 6 inch scale Rancor? Both would fit the timeframe for ROTJ's 40th in 2023 too.
