Mimban Stormtrooper at 6.99 again and the Yavin Luke is showing 6.99 too

Also entertainment earth is emailing a door buster for the rogue one tank for 19.99. I got one ordered yesterday. Website has a glitch today showing full price but email says 19.99. Watch that one if you’re looking for it. EE has free shipping at $25 currently.

My Walmart has TONS of those Jabba Palace sets. I'm sure they will go on clearance for lower.

Well Hasbro Pulse has sent me my pre-orders of Jawa & Sith Trooper both separately. Yet the 2 that were supposed to be "in stock" Hoth Leia & Knight of Ren did not ship yet.

I also have an odd problem. My TVC TIE Fighter's wings keep popping out now. :(

A poster at Rebelscum said that after talking to a manager about the Tank, and if that store would have it was told only stores that will continue to have a dedicated $5-$10 section after the holiday will be getting them. Judging by the look of the displays folks ahve posted showing the Tanks in store, I know none of the FiveBelows around me will likely carry it. I have only seen the small $10 sections in the front of the stores which are temporary for Christmas.

Not odd at all. Look down in the pylon the wing connects to and chances are the plastic tab that held the wings on has snapped/sheared. This is an incredibly common defect on the VC reissue, likely from a change in the formulation in plastic.

Several people have reported TIE fighters spontaneously crashing while on display due to this defect as the plastic holding the springs gives way.

There's not an easy fix to preserve the wing popping off feature, but if you don't care about that part trimming down the spring and glueing at least makes for a nice display piece.

so glad I didn't buy it at full price then
one has to wonder if any of their other over-priced TVC vehicles will have problems in the future

Been to a few 5 belows the last 2 weeks. The one on Lee vista. Yesterday the one in kissimmee on osceola parkway/obt. None of them had the tank. They also barely had any star wars stuff. A couple of 6" Jyn, and solo 5PoA. Same with Ross. Looks like they just stopped stocking star wars.

I get that. Some of my spring-loaded missiles on Joe vehicles will spontaneously fire off, lol.

That’s why I always store my vehicles with the spring missiles removed!

I picked up 2 from Kids Warehouse.com for 14.99 each. I got them Friday.
