Troopers, another May the 4th has come and gone. Were you able to find any of the 40th Anniversary product in stores? Many of us walked into Walmarts, Targets and Toys R Us stores across the country, with delusions of grandeur expecting a big restock of toys. As we hustled down toy isles expecting to see piles of new stuff, many of us were greeted with the same peg warming garbage that has been hanging there for months. It seems as though Star Wars day is completely lost on retail. Below is an image from a typical Walmart, with nothing new to be found.
