Store Reports

If you’re looking for the latest Walmart exclusives, be sure to check the entertainment section of the store (the area with games, Blu-rays, and televisions). Just today, I found The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ Yoda (Force Spirit) and Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight), the latest wave of the “solid gold” figures, and the TVC Luke Skywalker (Yavin) figure.

JTA reader Will P. is one of many store reports we’re getting that the TBS6 [P3] Wedge Antilles/Luke Skywalker (Yavin Ceremony) wave is arriving at TARGET. I found the wave myself yesterday too!

JTA reader and friend Russ T. found a ton of the Walmart exclusive Galaxy Of Adventures Luke Skywalker figure at his local Walmart. You can purchase the figure HERE, and you can check out our review of it HERE.

JTA reader Greg R. found the exclusive Yoda Spirit and Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) 6″ figures at his local Walmart! They’re out there folks!

It seems that there may be Walmart stores that don’t know which product is newly released. JTA reader Gold Leader provides us with evidence that the new TVC Tatooine Skiff is 25% off and all of the Galaxy Of Adventures figures are 50% off.

I stopped by my local GameStop today during lunch and was shocked to find the Skywalker Strikes Convention exclusive sitting on the shelf. They retail for $39.99 each. If you want this set, you might want to visit your local store too.

JTA reader and friend Russ T. received notice that his online order for the First Order Jet Trooper (Carbonized) figure was ready for pickup. While out, he stopped at TARGET and found another new product that I don’t believe too many people knew about until now. Click through for his report.

The Vintage Collection Jabba’s Palace Adventure Playset is showing up in substantial numbers across the country. JTA reader Geoffrey E. eagerly sends in a report about what he found at his local Walmart!! As we’ve told you, this exclusive exceeded everyone’s expectations. But I hope all of the reordering doesn’t turn into clearance fodder. That’s the last thing this set needs to experience. Click through for more.

JTA reader Ruben J. found The Vintage Collection Cave Of Evil Special Action Figure Set at his local TARGET shelves. Sadly, he couldn’t take them home because of the November 10th street date. But we do have a HUGE image of it to share with you. Your thoughts in the comments please!

JTA reader Louis has found the TBS6 [P3] 6″ Clone Commander Obi-Wan Kenobi figure at his local Walgreens. They’re arriving folks!

On the 18th day of Triple Force Friday, retail gave to me, SIX First Edition six-inch, FIVE TVCs! FOUR store exclusives, THREE Galaxy Of Adventures, TWO Funko Pops! And a new hater throwing unpublishable slurs and insults at me! Better get out there, folks! Newly arriving stock of stuff that should have been available on October 4th is entering retail as we speak!

We have another report of a TVC Wave 24 find, this time in Arizona. JTA reader Cordell H. provides the evidence!

JTA reader Jerry H. sends us our first report of The Vintage Collection wave 24 found at brick and mortar! He found the Jawa, Sith Trooper and company at his local TARGET in Atlanta Georgia! Send in your reports if you find them also!

When you look at the overwhelming amount of unsold Hasbro Star Wars products arriving at discount chains like ROSS and Ollie’s, you have to wonder how bad things indeed are with the brand. JTA reader Michael D> send us images which are alarming because they show how much UNSOLD wave 1 The Vintage Collection figures (the worst wave of Star Wars figures of all time) and The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ figure and vehicles (which people brag about waiting for clearance on) there are. I am flabbergasted that there were solid case packs of the TVC Sergeant Jyn Erso figure. That makes ZERO sense. And look at the overbearing volume of 6″ stuff arriving as well (photos by clicking through). No wonder we haven’t seen the Yak Face wave arrive at any retail location yet. Frightening.

JTA reader chapo found the former Walmart exclusive TBS6 [P3] Imperial Shock Trooper at his local GameStop. They’re out there, folks! You can search for local stores by clicking here if you need this figure.

With Hasbro, 3.75″ collectors are good as gold to them! If this is the only things 3.75″ collectors are getting to celebration the Luke Skywalker saga. There needs to be a The Vintage Collection celebration of these character continuing. There is no other way to celebrate it for those collectors. JTA reader Paul V. found GOLD 5POA action figures at his local Walmart. (They didn’t ring up, obviously). But who is going to buy this line? Honestly. Please let us know. And don’t be afraid if you like these.

JTA reader Jeremy spotted a new addition to the Star Wars section at his local Ohio Meijer, featuring a new Star Wars spash with an October 4 date posted. The display itself is fairly bland, but it’s good to see stores getting ready for Triple Force Friday. Thanks for the update, Jeremy!

Stopping at my local Meijer in Ohio I saw this display piece in the Star Wars section. It was a mat type display anchored to the shelf of the Star Wars you section. Retail will be participating on 10-4.

DENIED! JTA reader Eric C. found the newest The Vintage Collection figures at his local Walmart in Canada, but was denied purchase when he brought them to the register! Check out the great shots he got of the figures by clicking the images below.

Just because I never heard or saw of this Star Wars [Solo] 12 Inch FIgure six-pack doesn’t mean you haven’t. But it looks like another retailer exclusive bit the dust. Presumably, an item for TARGET, JTA reader Scott B. found this set at his local Meijer in northern Michigan for only $19.99!

If you’re looking for cheap Cassians, Jyns, Reys, and Finns, look no further than Walgreens who is running a sale on Hasbro’s TBS6 line. The promotion for the figures is $7.99 each. Something tells me these figures won’t even sell at these prices. Special thanks to JTA reader Tusken Raider and Craig F. for the reports!!

With so much doom and gloom JTA reports (well, that’s only some of the feedback we get),  I guess facts hurt feelings sometimes. However, it’s great that I can turn the tables on y’all and give you a positive store report. Because for the last four years, retail has been absolutely miserable in my area when it comes to Hasbro Star Wars. Absolutely miserable. (Crap! There I go with doom and gloom again.) OK, let’s restart this. I am happy to provide some positive truth for you so that more doom and gloom won’t shatter your world. This time it’s positive. I promise! Are you ready? Here we go!

Wo! Check it out. Arriving just in time for Walmart’s Fall reset, the Jabba’s Palace Adventure Set and Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard) exclusives have landed in a Walmart in California. Don’t forget that more units of the playset will be available online as well! Images and report from The Star Wars The Vintage Collection Facebook Group.
