Wal-Mart Exclusive Clone Wars 501st Trooper Out Early
Sunday, August 3, 2008
If you can't get enough of the hunt, you may be in luck this weekend. Wal-Mart stores here in California are already selling their exclusive Clone Wars 501st Legion Clone Trooper. We found them mixed in on the pegs with other figures for under $7 a pop, a great price-- unlike another retailer who upcharges for exclusives who shall remain nameless. More pics and impressions to come!
For those keeping track, Hasbro gave a release date of August 15, 2008.

Star Wars Galactic Heroes Exclusives Return, No Longer Exclusive
Sunday, July 20, 2008
Since stores are ignoring street dates, we're getting an advance glimpse of the returning Galactic Heroes "scene" sets. We've spotted two former Target exclusives at Wal-Mart and, of course, Target. One includes Jabba the Hutt and his palace, with Bib Fortuna, a new Luke figure, and all the other guys you had a chance to buy late last year. The other features the X-wing Fighter as well as Luke, R2-D2, Leia, and Biggs-- which is just Wedge with a moustache. If you missed these, stop paying a premium for them on eBay because they'll be in a store near you this week. Unless you live somewhere Hasbro hates, in which case, good luck.

Eyes On Target: The Clone Wars
Friday, July 18, 2008
Target stores, surprise surprise, are ignoring the big 7/26 street dates. I've seen Commander Fox dress-up kits, entirely full endcap displays, and tons of figures, vehicles, blasters, evolutions packs, and more. If you want stuff, and were going to wait until next weekend, don't-- start hunting now!

In today's toy run news, I spotted the AT-TE, electronic blasters, $20 vehicles, Galactic Heroes, and more at a Los Angeles-area Wal-Mart on retail shelves. What kind of broken street date finds are you seeing? Let us know!

The Clone Wars Clone Trooper Voice Changer Hits Early
Saturday, July 5, 2008
In my afternoon toy run, I spotted several Hasbro Clone Wars Clone Trooper Voice Changer Helmet toys at retail. Is it possible the 7/26 date is going to be ignored? The item had several phrases, all of which were activated by tiny, almost invisible buttons on the side of the helmet. It's shaping up to be an excellent toy!

Millennium Falcon Lands in Canada Early
Friday, June 13, 2008
Apparently a lucky collector hit the right Toys "R" Us this week! Snowtroopers.ca's forums are jumping because someone managed to snag this ship at retail over a full month before its target release date. What does this mean for the rest of the line? We should all probably start keeping an eye out for absolutely everything at this point.
