Target Restocks SW Vintage...
with another case of Phantom Mencae Wave. First time in 6 months my local Target has gotten Vintage and it's the plague wave from January. But nothing to fear Walmarts are starting to get the Lost Line Wave, nothing will peg warm now...3 more Troopers, re-hash Leia, Re-hash Gimmick Vader, and everyone's favorite charactor from the Star Wars Universe JJB. Thanks Hasbro!
The Sandtrooper has a blaster with folding stock.
Just trying to stay positive.
The new assortments are going to result in losing collectors like me. I've bought the line since it first returned in the 90's, but I'm not a die hard Star Wars fan. I LIKE Star Wars, but I'm more a casual fan compared to things like DC or He-Man. I'll buy the obscure character who had five seconds of screen time before I'd buy the 30the version of Jedi Luke or Vader. These assortments full of re-paints and re-dos hold little interest for me; I've seen maybe five things, vehicles and all, shown at the Celebration that I might actually buy. Everything else is retreads I'm not spending hard earned dollars on.
I firmly believe Opie from Family Guy is in charge of boys toys now with Star Wars as his main focus. The only thing peaking my interest right now is the AT-ST Driver 2 Pack I saw at SW Celebration VI and four figures from the Internet Only Vinatge Wave. After that...the future looks bleak.
