Target Report

This was the "big" day when Target stores were going to have all of the Star Wars toys out. There wasn't an add flier like some sites were reporting, so there wasn't a sale on anything. I went to the east side store in Madison. There were maybe 10 people waiting. Got into the store and nothing. We asked the stock people to check and ended up with a case of the new POTJ Collection 2 figures. Most everyone got one or two. I had a note that they brought out 4 Y-Wings after I left. I then headed to Janesville, nothing. Meanwhile, my wife went to the west side store in Madison. They had 2 Y-Wings, that's all.

POTJ Figures

Target east in Madison had a case of the new Collection 2 figures today. I was able to get the Battle Droid Security Guard and the Tusken Raider, but others had Mos Ameda, Chewy, and Senate Guard. The new packaging really sticks out, but it will take some time to get used to.

12" Padme
