Bubble Changes - And A Price Hike?

Posted by Morgan | May 25, 2012 at 04:28 AM ET

When comparing a set of Clone Wars wave 1 figures found yesterday at Target to those from January, we noticed some subtle differences to the packaging. What was not so subtle was the price increase to $9.44! Click through for the report!

The first release (DS 12971) of Chewbacca is on the left. Chewy's bowcaster and gun have been moved down in the bubble on the later release (DS 13251). As with the Discover the force bubble variations, we can assume it's to give a better view of the "Galactic Battle Game" wording.

The first release (DS 12971) of Commander Cody is also on the left. Cody's jetpack have been moved down in the bubble on the later release (DS 20371). There were no changes to the Anakin or Clone Trooper packaging that I noticed. There may be changes to the other wave 1 figures, but I hadn't picked these up.
