Star Wars Black Boba Fett, Peg Warmer!
Yesterday morning I posted photos from an Austin Target showing more Leia and Greedo action figures keeping the pegs warm (pics here). In response, Poe Ghostal shared evidence that the line is doing awesome in his neighborhood: Poe found a single Greedo at ToysRUs.
I can top that, with this shot of several Boba Fett action figures at a Target store. I’m not sure what went wrong, but that’s a lot of Boba Fett action figures.
But not really. I threw this together in Photoshop just for fun. But wouldn’t it be an amazing experience to walk into a store and see the pegs loaded with Boba Fett action figures?
The sales of the line are a regional thing, yes, but I doubt anyone disagrees with the idea that Hasbro needs to put some work into their case packing. And hey, now I’m wondering what carton mixes were for Star Wars action figures in the late seventies and early eighties . . . anyone have some old info on this?

Man, that’s awesome, but also kinda’ sucks because I have yet to see a Fett in these parts.
If that had been true, I would have paid you to go pick one up for me.
I’d love to see any of the 6 inch figures around here, but our lone Wal-Mart only carries the smaller figures.
I doubt we’ll ever see several Boba Fetts for sale anywhere except a dedicated toy store or a convention . . . where they’ll be priced $40 or higher.
