S is for Stretch Ar . . . Star Wars

I shot these in Lidl a couple of weeks ago and posted them on Brain Heiler's Faceplant group page, as I know there's a fair-few Star Wars fans there, and Jay Luttrull reported they were showing up at Meijer and Walgreens, where they are likely to hang-around longer than the week or so of Lidl's weekly-bargain model!


If you were a fan of Stretch Armstrong, Stretch Monster or Stretch whatever-the-other-one-was-called, you must want these! Star Wars stretchers, from Character Options, although the bad guys seem to have carried more sway in the design-meetings!

    I must check LIDL out.
    Earlier this week I was saying that there is almost a total absence of rack toys in the usual outlets such as Poundland, Around A Pound and in their Dublin counterparts Dealz, Eurozone,
    I only came back to Toy Soldiers in January as my grandson had taken up model making. A ten year gap from 2013.
    But in 2013 there seemed to be a lot of rack toys around. Maybe its cyclical. They come and go but some such as Horrible Histories seem to have a short shelf life.
    Indeed brands,,,,Italeri, Imex, Accurate have gone.

    I think it's all on-line John . . . I've just had a very depressing afternoon's shopping in Basingrad and Farnham, and it's not that the high street's dying, it's dead, it just doesn't know when to fall down.
