.... 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
