The latest updates from the middle of nowhere...
TARGET: I actually did my own inventory today, and believe it or not, there is not a single Derlin, Bib, or Geonosian hanging around there anymore. They have been replaced with the following stock:
-8 Lushros Dofines
-4 H&V Darth Vaders
-4 Bespin Confession Darth Vaders
-16(!) Hem Dazons
-3 Holographic Ki-Adi Mundis
-2 Greatest Battles Electronic R2-D2s
-1 Momaw Nadon
The funny thing is that I gave each figure its own peg while I was in there today and boy did it look ridiculous. Me doing that, I mean.
Wal-Mart is, at all three locations, still clogged with Poggles and Derlins and Sun Facs, although Vader is nipping at their heels, and the Endor wave seems to have hit WM en masse over the last week. I counted at least 10 Threepios and Chirpas and Jerjerrods this morning (only 2 DSGs) at one WM that never stocks.
TRU, as usual, is a mess and doesn't even have a space on the shelves for basic figures anymore. Instead, they have been delegated to one of those wire endcap things that usually display the basic lightsabers and/or sunglasses.
And can someone please tell me why Wal-Mart, Target, and TRU all three are refusing to send the Force Battlers to their well-deserved space in the clearance aisle? Every time Target or WM does a reset, I thank the deity of the moment that I might never see a FB Obi-Wan in Gaudy Armor again, and then there they are with their own spot in the new plan-o-grams. WTF?
