Week of: May 3rd, 1999

Saturday, May 8th:

C-3PO & Stormtrooper Bubble Bath

These were seen at Wal-Mart west in Madison. They are the ones with the figure head on the bottle. The Stormtrooper is pretty nice while the C-3PO is only OK. C-3PO really needs to be metalized instead of painted gold.

Friday, May 7th:

TRU Pulls EP1 Figures

Necklace reports that the TRU powers that be have had the EP1 figures pulled from the sales floor. This explains why they didn't have any figures out today. They feel that they need to save them for an upcoming promotion. This promotion may be in a flyer on Thursday.

Jabba's Palace Diorama

Shopko east in Madison had some of the Jabba's Palace Dioramas today. They were the new picture style and there didn't appear to be any Cantina Dioramas around. Maybe Jabba's Palace is shipping by itself now.

Wednesday, May 5th:

Pepsi Promotion

The Pepsi promotion has started. You can now get Lays chips with Anakin on the bag and I saw the soda cans at K-Mart east in Madison today.

Price War?

K-Mart east in Madison has lowered their price on the small figures. They are now $6.76 (same as Wal-Mart) versus their already reasonable price of $6.99. I don't know if this is at all K-Marts or just this one.
