Boy those Landos are clogging the pegs at the 3.75 and 6" levels.

Man, great stuff though.

Yes, it was all TBS6 Landos and one TVC Lando. The 6 TVC cardbacks behind him were all Kuiils...but it's incredible how much the Star Wars section has shrunken here in Düsseldorf, compared to this last year: June 2021

Still way better than the peg and shelf space I have in my local stores.

On my way back to Dresden I visited a good friend of mine and we spontaneously went to a few stores together. It was a great afternoon and a brilliant break from the busy traffic on the Autobahn! Special thanks to Marcel for the good coffee and the tasty energy drink.

Great store reports as usual.

I would have had a hard time walking by that MOTU stuff. Man, that is an endcap!

Thank you, Tamer! All of the sudden SmythsToys relisted the Vintage Collection Tantive IV Playset for 50€. Last time I saw it on their website it was 59,99€ if I remember correctly.
It's listed again, but it's out of stock and not on shelves in any of their stores...

I wonder why they relisted it if its out of stock? Maybe they are getting more in?

I can only hope they get more in! Doesn't look like it though. Sometimes they keep old product online for weeks even though it's long gone. They list it at a really good price e.g. TBS Archive Commander Cody for 20€ instead of 26,99€, but it's nowhere on shelves anymore. I suppose they do this to drive people into their stores to have a look themselves...

SmythsToys have reduced some of their exclusive JW Legacy Collection Sets. And I got a couple which arrived in overall good condition.






They also listed the new JW Dominion: Owen's Escape Pack to be released in July 2022 as another SmythsToys Exclusive:

Yes! MATTEL seems to have found a gold mine with the JW license. I'm glad that new TVC and TBS figures are going to come to Smysths, but most of the latest figures are just sold online and are sold out immediately in their online store.


I wonder what we're going to see announced on May 4 this year. I'm glad the LEGO 75319 Mandalorian Forge came back in stock recently. It was suddenly gone everywhere and LEGO is still temporarily able to deliver more. However SmythsToys got some more as announced recently. They still sold 17% under the MRSP for a couple days. 24,99€ until they went up to 27,99€. LEGO is going to deliver more units of this set by summer. I wonder if a special tooling for this set might broke or if there's another specific reason for the shortage because this set isn't on the market for that long.

I wonder if Hasbro will make something like this for The Vintage Collection playsets:



They also came well packed, shipped for free, only one box has a minor dent.
Thanks SmythsToys!

LEGO stuff is just amazing. Man I wish Hasbro would just do what they are releasing.
