Walmart stores are setting up new “Dark Side” shippers to display The Vintage Collection figures. JTA reader Jason has the report:

Wanted to send word that more “Dark Side” point-of-purchase shippers arrived last week at some Walmart stores, this time for The Vintage Collection product! Back in April I was able to obtain the large Dark Side capper featuring Vader and Maul (that display included Epic Heroes Series and other merchandise). This time a mix of new and old The Vintage Collection product is featured: Rex, Luke, Vader, and Stormtrooper from the latest wave assortment, plus new old stock of last year’s Klatooinian Raider and 2022’s deluxe Dark Trooper (Dark Trooper only $14.97). Figures are stacked three-deep similar to past displays (2021 LFL50 and 2022 Clone Wars). Bought enough that I decided to take the entire unit to check out. Also nabbed three different versions of the special edition Star Wars Oreo displays from Walmart, Target, and Jewel-Osco (Albertson’s). Fun niche items for your displays if you can manage to snag them from your local stores. Also, if you’ve ordered figures online and they have the issue where the adjacent case-packed bubble has smeared and rubbed printed art off, it’s an opportunity to find some card backs without this annoying blemish, Thanks all and happy hunting.

It’s (almost) like (sorta) the old days! The latest The Vintage Collection wave is hitting brick & mortar retail before many pre-orders are shipping. JTA reader Robert found the whole wave at his Maryland Walmart. Let us know in the comments where you are finding the wave, or if your wave is shipping from Etailers yet. 

Longtime JTA reader Sterling I. shared images of his recent acquisition from Walmart, but it wasn’t Star Wars action figures. He writes in to let us know that beautiful The Vintage Collection displays are arriving with the Tartakovsky Clone Wars figures, and they make lovely displays for your carded figures. Click the thumbnails below for a closer look. (more….)

Only in a bizarro Walmart world would you find The Vintage Collection marked $2 less than a Retro Collection figure. But here we are.

It’s the Twilight Zone for Hasbro distribution anymore. The Black Series Scout Trooper (Holiday Edition) has finally been found in a Fishkill, NY Walmart. It’s only 6 months late. Thanks to LJ Wood for the report!

First Target, and now Walmart. The new Retro Collection figures from The Mandalorian Season Two are hitting Walmarts. JTA reader Chad found them at two different Alabama Walmarts this morning. One in South Huntsville and another in Scottsboro. Happy hunting! Let us know if you are seeing these in Walmarts in your area in the comments. 

Yes, I’m on an alliteration kick today. But, holy cow. Did you receive your Walmart exclusive wave of The Vintage Collection Clone Wars figures? They’re arriving via droves of boxes, both undersized and oversized, bubble envelopes, and in as many parcels as Walmart sees fit. How has the condition of your figures been? Did you get your complete order, or are some still on their way? As one Instagram reader put it, this wave is GOAT, and we can’t wait to review them all. Stay tuned for more! Special thanks to JTA reader Mike R. for the alert and image.

Walmart Plus is touting benefits to members including early access to Black Friday deals. If this interests you, sign up here! It’s too early to tell if this will help you secure any Star Wars deals before they sell out. This is Walmart’s answer to Amazon Prime, giving members free shipping and deals, among other things. Might be worth at least checking out the trial during the holiday shopping season.

You know things are extremely terrible with the supply chain and the Walmart distribution center, in particular, that a retail chain gets stock that was never theirs from the start. Walmart is now receiving Target exclusives before general marketplace stock or even their OWN exclusives! They’ve gone to plaid!

JTA reader Travis C. went to his local Walmart o find new Star Wars toys. There wasn’t anything in the toy aisle, but he found multiples of the new wave in the clearance aisle, marked down to $9.30 each, no less. And the Walmart employee who put them here took the time to sort them too!

After getting a dozen destroyed Princess Leia (Endor) figures from Walmart online, I have to admit that this is a sight for sore eyes. However, I found them on the bottom shelf nowhere near the Star Wars section. Why do things have to be this way?

If you’re still looking for the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary The Vintage Collection figures, be sure to check your local Walmart’s clearance section. JTA reader Jon M. found Paploo and others hanging with clearance stickers on them there.

JTA reader Jon M. found some impressive-looking Star Wars masks at his local Walmart. As we approach Halloween season again, it’s interesting to see the focus once again on George Lucas-era characters. Star Wars masks are often second-rate, especially at a Walmart price point ($31.88), but look at the details here, especially the Tusken Raider. These are pretty impressive.

Tomorrow, Walmart will kick off their Collector Con Event with pre-orders galore, including Star Wars exclusives from the Tartakovsky Clone Wars Micro Series. You can look for 6 The Vintage Collection figures (Aayla Secura, Luminara Unduli, ARC Trooper, ARC Trooper Captain, Barriss Offee, and Battle Droid) and 3 The Black Series figures (Mace Windu, ARC Trooper Captain, and General Grievous). These are already leaking out around Social Media. Thanks to those that both emailed us and tagged us on Instagram for the alert! It should be total chaos during the pre-order period for these!

We will post links to the pre-orders as soon as we get them!

This week Walmart came through and delivered a MINT Paploo. I mean this thing was packaged in a normal sized box with extra padding lying flat on the bottom of the package. I was shocked at how good the condition was for a Walmart exclusive. More…

Many The Vintage Collection Walmart exclusives can still be either pre-ordered or are in stock now, including 2019’s Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard) which is now marked down to $7.99. The most notable out-of-stock recent exclusives are Din Djarin and the Tusken Raider. Even after the pre-order debacle last year, it’s pretty impressive that most of these are still available, especially when you compare how Target has handled their pre-orders for exclusives (they last about 3 minutes, and then are never heard from again).

Click below for product pages for these (mostly) still available exclusives. We will see how well Walmart has adapted to the pre-order environment once the next round starts shipping in July!

JTA reader Lewis C. found The Mandalorian Greef Karga on clearance for $5.00. How many of you are still waiting for your orders to be fulfilled?

I was eager to see what y local Walmart and Target stores would put out for May 1, as it appeared many items were “register locked” until that day. While I found absolutely nothing at Target, I did find something new at Walmart. I couldn’t believe my eyes! (more….)

We’re getting MANY reports of The Mandalorian wave of the Retro Collection found at various Walmart stores throughout the country. We also found them in the Kentucky area. We also have reports from Philadelphia and Massachusetts and Texas. Special thanks to Chad R. for this image from an unknown location.

In a sea of nothingness, it’s a bit comforting to know that some NEW STUFF is indeed hitting brick and mortar. JTA reader Jon M. found The Black Series [Phase IV] Boba Fett Deluxe figure at his local Walmart, You can see our review of this fantastic figure HERE.
