Longtime JTA reader and friend Robert F. visited his local Ollie’s only to find a slew of new discounted Hasbro Star Wars products. Two are Walmart exclusives, and the other didn’t make it further than online. It’s amazing to see how much product never arrived in stores by visiting your local Ollie’s. Many never saw the “Force Spirit” Yoda at their local Walmarts. No one wanted a 5POA cardboard playset. And even fewer collectors anted a new scale of rubbery hyper-articulated action figures known as Hyper Real. if Hasbro is smart, they’ll stick to what sells: TBS6, TVC, and stay away from the ST like it’s the toxic wasteland it is. You have to wonder what the heck is going on at the distribution centers.
In case you’re interested, Ollie’s Bargain Outlet chains are receiving The Force Awakens basic figures. JTA reader Ed D. sends us word that he found Rey, Han, Finn (with bloody helmet), Rex, Unkar Plutt, Hassk Thug, various First Order Stormtroopers, and of course Constable Zuvio.
