Northeast Philly Sees First Signs Of Rebels SL After Near Six Month Delay

Topic: Store Reports


It has definitely been one of the best weeks in years in Philly as far as store finds are concerned. And that isn't saying much since TARGET gets figures piece meal and Walmarts distribution is about as bad as Hasbro's is. We're ONE DAY out from March 1st and I have finally found the very first Rebels Saga Legends figures ever on the pegs at Walmart today. (Hard to believe all the controversy that was caused from our rumor report in early November ended up coming to pass. In fact, the arrival of these figures ended being later than January 30th by a FULL MONTH. Oh the drama we create! Sarcasm.) For figures that were supposed to be out September 2014, it's amazing that we have received them at all and that so many factors (some known, many unknown) have played such a devastating role in the Star Wars brand's distribution. Anyway, the great news is that Rebels Saga Legends wave 1 (and now wave 2 at select retail locations) is finally making its way to retail and with the dockworkers' contracts finally ironed out, it seems we're in the home stretch to mass arrival of these things (we hope). We truly pray that this nearly 6-month delay has had little impact on the success of the Rebels line. Because there are some great figures in it.
