Hasbro appreciation thread.

I dont think any of us here have actually found him in store.

 

[Qrest Fourstar]

If Wal-mart is following instructions, they won't put them out till next friday the 6th.

 

[icruise]

Some people on Rebelscum have reported finding them, but they're probably exceptions.

Found some of the Legacy figures at my local Toys R Us today... snagged myself a Vader. They had Vader, 3PO, Dack, Han, and Leia.

Vintage Wave 1 figures, AT-AT, Snow Speeder, and Cloud Car hit Target stores all over Metro Atlanta yesterday. The Snow Speeders and Cloud Cars are $5 off (for $19.99) at Target through Wednesday.

Apparently, the Boba Fett figure is the quickest of the 11 to disappear from pegs.

Not only is he the quickest, I think he's a short-pack as well...

Went to a bunch of Walmarts in Northern Illinois today but no luck finding Jabba. For the people who have found him, how many did the store have?

I have 2 at a time

Wouldn't surprise me given Hasbro's track record. Maybe they're trying to drum up interest for the mail-away Fett?

 

[Memnoch]

No one is short packed. Everything is 1 per case save Vader which is 2 per.

 

[darthmadonna]

I must say I love the vintage packaging. As for Jabba we are waiting still for them up here in the Northwest. I know they have hit in Southern Cali and Arizona.

 

[MaulFan]

So in theory, Jabba's not supposed to be out in stores until 8/6?

All the new SW stuff is dated 8-6. Jabba's are $34.99 and come 2 per box.

Just picked up a Clone Wars Pre Vizsla. Awesome little figure, imo it gives boba a run for his money. I am also looking forward to the Death Watch mandolorian pack...

 

[icruise]

After doing a little asking around, it seems that at least one store in my area should be getting Jabbas in tonight, so I will check tomorrow. Of course even if they get them in, it's possible that they won't be put out on the shelves, but I have the UPC number (065356950285) and some people have had success just asking for them to get it from the back, so we'll see.

I apologize if this has already been mentioned but...

Anyone have a list of figures and vehicles coming out vintage style? I havent bought star wars in 25 years but I thought about picking these up as nostalgia like the 25th anni GI Joes...

Thanks in advance!

My Jabba will be here tomorrow. It went through Philly today so tomorrow I will have one of my most wanted items since '95.

 

[jstep13]

Thanks Drod!

Yes, the case says not to sell before Friday. Still, got mine today.

 

[Memnoch]

I've had mine for at least 2 weeks now. Actually looking at selling off some of my case.
