BREAKING: Walmart Fixing TVC Issue??

Posted by Bret on 08/15/18 at 08:04 PM Category: Walmart

Chris had visited stores in his area this past Saturday, which prompted him to pound the alarm that Walmart was in the process of (probably unknowingly) murdering The Vintage Collection. Later in the week, after visiting several other Walmarts, the problem was consistent across Chris's area of Massachusetts, so we posted a more urgent message, a call to arms if you will, to collectors to send in photographic proof that their Walmarts had the same problem. It was proven to be common across the country. Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives picked up our story and joined the effort...

Today, Chris visited the same Walmart that set him off on his crusade on Saturday. What did he find? Something that was not there just a few days ago. A peg clearly labeled with the correct price and SKU for TVC! While there was only a lone Jyn Erso on that peg, it means that this Walmart seems to have taken steps to correct the problem. There was also only one single peg, below the old exclusive black series figures.

This is but one example, so it doesn't necessarily mean widespread change. But it's a good sign. Check your Walmarts over the coming days to see if your stores have put proper SKU / price tags on the pegs for The Vintage Collection, and let us know what you find.

This may be the first confirmed sighting of a TVC figure WITH a proper full-priced TVC SKU at Walmart so far.

We're not saying the team effort between Bantha Skull, JTA, and you guys who left your testimonials in our comments section actually made this happen, but, you know, we have a proud and recent history of making things happen in the industry. Just ask Val, who zip lined in Solo thanks to Bantha Skull. And ask Vietnam, who succeeded in luring Hasbro to set up production facilities thanks to Bantha Skull. We could go on, but why gloat? You're welcome!
