JTA friend and reader Darth Eddie eagerly submits a store report for the Rebels Mission Series wave 2 found at TARGET! Click through for his report!
Hey, Paul!
I just wanted to write in and report my unexpected and very awesome find of three of the five sets in Rebels/Mission Series Wave 2 at the Target here in Roanoke, VA! They had all of the new ones except for (somewhat predictably given the characters inside the packages) Sabine/Stormtrooper and Wicket/Biker Scout. No sign of those anywhere and the 3.75" Black Series and Rebels/Saga Legends pegs were completely empty with not one single-carded figure hanging anywhere in the entire toy department.
Here's the best part, at least from a pricing point of view: these new sets had some marginal-to-significant creasing and bending with a couple of dents on the bubbles so the customer service representative near the checkout lines let me have a 10% discount off each 2-pack, making each one just $8.99! I scored all three sets for just a little over $28, which means I scored six brand-new Star Wars figures for the price of less than two Black Series figures after the big new price hike. It was definitely a successful trip to Target (and the first in a while) so check your local stores if you want any of these brand new 2-packs!
