This week the Solo 3.75-Inch Wave 4 has shown up at my local Kroger and HEB (Texas Grocery Chain) grocery stores on multiple occasions. Also the Ross Stores in my area are also receiving Wave 4 as well.

Yes its a little late for Solo: A Star Wars Story products, but I know a lot of fellow collectors missed out on this wave especially the Han Solo (Mimban) and Quay Tolsite figures that were 1 per case.

If you recall, the Wave 4 figures trickled into Walmart Stores back in October 2018 and were also available at online retailers as well.

Happy Hunting!!

Noticed that Hasbro has made a running change to the new Vintage Collection 3.75-Inch Photorealistic VC08 Darth Vader's Helmet. Early Date stamps has a 3-piece Helmet while later date stamps have a 2-piece Helmet.

The original VC08 Vader had a 3-piece helmet, so not sure why Hasbro decided to change it, unless its trying to reduce costs of the figure.

Helmet Variation
• 1st version:  3-Piece Helmet (Date Stamp 90241)
• 2nd version: 2-piece Helmet (Date Stamp 90581)

Just recoded and restored the Star Tours 3.75-Inch Wave 3 figures which were released back in 2005. This was the finally wave of the single carded figures in this line. These were available at the Disney Parks and also via Disney Mail order.

While these photos were taken back in 2013 they are still large, clear, sharp and rival what websites are putting out today. The figure pages include package, loose, variant, and error photos.

Tonight I have added the Retro Collection Grand Moff Tarkin figure to our HD Photo Gallery. Tarkin is Exclusive to the Escape From Death Star Board Game which will be available at most major retailers. Grand Moff Tarkin really resembles what figures used to look like back in the 70s and 80s. He includes a Blaster Rifle.

Enjoy our large, clear, sharp HD Images that you wont find in other Photo Galleries or Archives.

Started to photograph the Retro Collection 3.75-Inch Grand Moff Tarkin figure and here is a sneak peek photo if you want to check it out. The rest of the pictures will get added probably tomorrow as I have some holiday family stuff to do.

Lots of people have been asking me if that Retro Collection Sticker just simply peels off, and the answer is no. At least on the sample I have.

DISCLAIMER: Try at your own risk, we are not responsible for any damages. Don't attempt if not comfortable.

So I personally tried to peel off the sticker and it felt like the card stock paper was going to get removed with it, so I stopped. I then used a hair dryer on warm and very slowly started to peel it back and had success. Make sure not to aim hairdryer towards the figure bubble our you will deform it.

Here is a sneak peek photo of the box, including inside. Just a note, there is a large white cardboard insert protecting the Tarkin's card inside the box as well, but it is not in the photo. It was removed so you can see the rest of the contents behind it.

Stopped by my local Houston Target Store today and found the Retro Escape from the Death Star Game with Tarkin figure this morning. They were just starting to stock the toys, but I noticed it on one of the carts, so I asked if I could buy one and have the empty case.

Here is the DPCI# 087-10-0431. The price is $19.99 each. These are 6 per case.

One good thing about these is Hasbro made the figure noticeable through the front box cover and also shrink wrapped the box, so you will know if some scumbag stole the figure out of the box before you buy it.

Kind of a bummer that Hasbro did not include a Blaster Pistol with this figure. Will have the rest of the photos up probably by tomorrow.

For those into packaging variants, I was just getting ready to photograph Walmart's Exclusive The Vintage Collection 3.75-Inch Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard) figure and noticed that there was a sticker on some of the card backs I have while the others didn't have a sticker.

Variants:
• *C-001C Sticker (Date Stamp 83251)
• *C-001C Printed (Date Stamp 83481)

While this is not that big of a change, I thought I would put the info out there for those that like to collect packaging changes.

Just started to recode and restore our Disney HD Photo Gallery. This includes Disney Exclusive Droid Factory, Star Tours, and TOYBOX Products. I am going to start with the Star Tours figures and as a sample the DL-X2 Droid Page has been created. This figure was released back in 2002.

Stopped by my local Texas Walmart this morning and found their Exclusive Solo: A Star Wars Story Force Link 2.0 Kessel Mine Escape Playset set on the shelf. The employee just stocked them and they were 4 per case. I scanned one to see if they are on clearance and it showed a price of $29.84.

Funny how these were available at Walmart.com 5 months ago and they are just now hitting local stores.

Anyways if your in need, check your local stores or you can buy them at walmart.com for $26.49 as of this post.
