Our friends from Star Wars Figuren have revealed the card backs for the recently announced Walmart 50th Anniversary Vintage Collection figures to include the VC numbers.
The title may be a little click-baity (if you read it took quickly). We’re not calling for an end to store exclusives period, but rather a pivot to the methodology.
I forgot how to use this thing, but as I’m shaking the rust off, here’s an update on the Walmart nightmare, as well as a few personal tidbits…
Check your inboxes. The dreaded Walmart cancelation emails are starting to come in. It might not be a total disaster yet, however.
Update: We are receiving reports that some collectors are having all their orders canceled.
Remember when the holiday shopping season was a reason to check your local stores daily? Bantha Skull remembers.
Our intrepid reporter, Shmis Cransky, found that Walmart is at it again…
Starting with the mini-Mandalorian wave earlier this year, it seems like many brick and mortar locations have been getting one case of a new assortment, and saying, “that’s enough for you.” Is this the new world order for brick and mortar?
We are shocked that Walmart already has the Retro Collection on clearance, but it might not indicate the end of this year’s run.
We are in a multi-front war to grow our beloved Vintage Collection. We believe that getting the attention of massive corporate buyers is a vital front in this war, so we’ve got something to say to one of the biggest. But this is a fight we all need join. #FightForTVC
The Vintage Collection Mandalorian wave is starting to show up at Target stores. That’s a good thing, but buried within this positive story are some serious warning signs.
You know him best as Bantha Skull’s “Comic Book Guy,” but low and behold, Jimmy buys figures too.
Reports are frequent of the hugely anticipated Mandalorian wave hitting Walmart stores. Our own Randy popped into this local store hoping the empty TVC pegs would be filled. Be careful what you wish for.
We are very far removed from the glory days, but this is our new normal. I’m relieved that a Star Wars section still exists at all.
