New Star Wars, Transformers and G.I. Joe Toys Now At Target

Kremzeek — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:50:30 +0000

Yes, the summer toy drought is finally over. While Toys R Us jumped the gun and put out many of the new Star Wars and Transformers toys a few weeks ago, Target stores are in the process of resetting and stocking their action figure aisles. At two of my local Targets I found the Star Wars section jam packed with everything from Legacy and Clone Wars action figures to the new vehicles and battle packs. One even had high ticket items like the AT-AT and radio controlled Hailfire droid.

Transformer fans will also want to hit their local Target. The stores around here are packed with the first wave of Legends, Scouts, Deluxes, Voyagers and Leaders. They even had Human Alliance Jazz and Battle Ops Bumblebee. Also keep your eye out for Target’s new exclusive sets, which include two deluxe sized robots in some pretty garish colors. Needless to say, these will probably be on clearance in a few months.

Target doesn’t seem to be dedicating a lot of space for G.I. Joe. However the new Pursuit of Cobra toys are also starting to trickle out. My local Targets had a few pegs for figures as well as some shelf space for the vehicles and Mech suits. From what I’ve seen, these toys are a big improvement over the movie line and should be a big hit among collectors.

While out looking for Animated Arcee and Ratchet at my local Toys R Us, I came across the new Transformers “Shanghai Showdown” three pack. This exclusive set includes a “dirty” Mudflap/Skids ice cream truck and a white repaint of Demolishor. Unlike some of TRU’s other exclusives, this set is priced at a reasonable $29.99.

The Wal-mart exclusive Transformers Masterpiece Skywarp has begun to hit stores across the U.S. While out and about today, I found about 15 of them at my local Wal-mart in Madison, WI. As you can see from the picture, Skywarp is priced at $60.

My local Wal-mart also had the Wal-mart exclusive Blowpipe vs. Sideways set for $27. This set is a total rip off considering you can get two deluxes for $20. Not to mention, the Sideways in this set is no different than the one that has been on the pegs for months.

Over the last few days, there have been numerous reports of new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys showing up at Targets along the west coast. Both the wave 4 (Ice Cream Skids and Mudflap, Jolt, Blazemaster and Dead End) and wave 5 (Arcee, Swerve and Stalker Scorponok) deluxes were found at stores in southern California. If that weren’t enough, the fifth wave (Long Haul and Grindor) of Voyagers and forth wave (Nightbeat and Ejector) of Scouts have been sighted at some stores.

The Target exclusive Bruticus Maximus has also started to ship. Christoph Prime of the TFW2005 boards found two sets at a Target store in Colorado. I have yet to see any of these toys in my neck of the woods, but its only a matter of time before they hit the entire U.S.

With the new Transformers movie only a few months away, retailers have begun to clear out their stock of Animated toys. This week, Target lowered the price of its deluxe class figures down to $8.99. While not as good as the pre-holiday prices, this is a lot better than the $12.99 that Wal-mart is charging. The sale runs until 4/6, but knowing Target, it could end at any time.
