Are The Tables Turning? Foreign Retail Looks Like The Place To Be....

.... at least for Star Wars toys from Hasbro! Imagine waking up one day and then heading out to your local Toys R Us and once you arrive you have the option to acquire almost any collector-focused item from The Black Series or The VIntage Collection and/or any kids items from the various lines? Well, if you live in Sweden all of this is pretty much possible. JTA friend Mats is back with a report certainly destined to make you green with envy. Click through for more!

Hello JTA!

I´m sorry that I have been away for so long but this is due to a family related issue that I don´t wish to get into here. But now I will try to get back in the game. Rest assured I have read almost everything posted here so I´m up to speed on most stuff.

Okey so today I went to my local TRU since they had 25% off on everything in their store. A very good time to check out what cool things they had from TBS. All the new stuff has been on shelf for like 3 weeks here but I have known about what was coming for like a month or so. Got their planogram from my contact at this store (such a lovely girl). We do not get that much new stuff over here and maybe that´s for the best as the stores still have older stuff in stock. See pictures of what one can find over here.

I have looked at TRU Sweden´s website and they have listed waves 1-2 of 6-ich figures, some of them are in stock others are not. They also have listed 13 more figures but I have no idea which ones as there are no pics or info on them. Only time will tell.

They also have listed Mission Series wave 2 but none of them is in stock, but still kind of cool that they have them on their site.

I found both waves 1 and 2 (NOT 6-ich) on pegs today and grabbed Mara Jade ASAP along with Darth Vader that my contact had put on hold for me. Had a look at the 41st Elite Corps Clonetrooper and it had the same aweful paintjob that you guys have.

PS my ERG collection have now grown into 10 MOCS and 1 loose. So say goodbye to Malgus08 and welcome ERG11 hehe

Best regards

Mats
