When we found
the remix case of Legacy Collection's The
Empire Strikes Back wave at
Walmart this morning, we noticed and interesting move by Hasbro that the figures
each have a unique new bar code sticker affixed over the bar code on the figure's insert. The numbers are different than the Blockbuster Value! sets stickers.
We're not entirely sure what is going on here, but wanted to pass the news
along to you.
UPDATE: We posted
the UPC numbers of the original releases versus the Wave 12 remix versions.

Art Snowtrooper are all axed from the case, but click

Do
you believe that a great paint job can make a 10 year old figure look like
a figure made with today's technology? It's true. The Watto/R2-T0 Droid Factory
set from the 30 (77-07) line made a figure from 1999 look like a figure
from 2008 and his companion droid was nothing to sneeze at either. Be sure

Droids Reviews. Click the banner below for the

JTA
reader Blake Smith writes in with additional confirmation that the deluxe vehicle
assortment rollback may indeed be nationwide (and for better prices than what
we found). The stores near him in Georgia have the Y-wings as low as $35.00.
Don't wait around too long to check folks! This news typically spreads like
wildfire! Please keep writing in to let us know what you're finding too!

You
have already seen our earlier reports on all the Walmart markdown craziness,
but we believe that a national reduction is in place for the deluxe vehicle
assortment which includes the ARC-170 and Y-wing Bomber vehicles. We have found
all of them marked down to $45.00 each in every Walmart store so far. Let
us know if your experience is different.

Last year Uncle Milton came out with several Star Wars themed kits that are intended to be fun and educational. While the Force Trainer got most of the buzz, several other kits were also released. This week on Star Wars Action News, Arnie and Marjorie review the Mustufar Lava Volcano. Will a combination of baking soda, food coloring, and vinegar transport them to a galaxy far, far away or just leave them with more dishes to do? Listen to find out!

OK,
this isn't meant to frustrate you as we only want you to be aware of all the
awesome potential markdowns out there! The Bristol, PA Walmart is taking 50%
off of the lowest price on their clearance toys. This led to the
ARC-170 and Y-wing Bomber Starfighters ringing up for $22.50 each as well as
the Walmart exclusive Evolutions sets ringing up for a mere $4.50 each! Click

We
came across a humorous find at TARGET in Philadelphia, PA this past weekend.
If you happen to see any figures from The Saga Collection swinging on the shelves,
they will ring up for $.84. We had to buy the Combat Engineer Clone Trooper
just to say we got a modern Star Wars figure for under a dollar at a brick and mortar location! Click

proof!

You
have heard the reports but we can show you the proof that Walmart has marked
their figures down to $6.00 each. Although it still cannot beat the Blockbuster
Value! sets (that seem to be on the shelves the same time as this promotion),
you may be able to cherry-pick a few of your favorites for extras in your
collections.

The
Walmart store in Princeton, NJ has the "surprise" exclusive Unleashed Battle
Packs on sale for $10 each. If you're a completist and didn't want to pay the
ridiculous $23.00 and change each for them, now will be your chance. We are
unsure of what the other prices of these are across the country, but if you
know, please let us know!
