Target Star Wars Father’s Day Display

It's been reported in several places, but I had to see this for myself. The "home" for the latest Target Star Wars exclusives, including the temporarily exclusive Retro Collection, is not in the toy section. You will find them in the Mens' Section in special Father's Day displays. I personally found the display shown in the pics with an entire untouched case of the Han Solo Stormtrooper figures, and two cases of the Retro Collection. Despite this, not one of the Han Solo figures was on a near mint or better card (boo).

Here's the upshot. In the two stores that I found these displays, the Star Wars figures are on the back side of the display away form the aisle. If your store hasn't had the back room raided by DPCI pulls, this means the chances of incidental shoppers getting to the figures are pretty minimal. These figures are in a fairly low visibility area. Look for the Father's Day header (see below) and check over the special display. My stores each had two such displays with items of general daddery such as mixed nuts, knock-off Leatherman tools, wallets, beard softeners, and video games. One of the two should have homes for the Star Wars figures in a series of three pegs. In both cases, the pegs were in the same display as the video games. Unfortunately in one case, all three pegs were stocked with Solo shampoo bottle figures.
