SO!
Interesting thing happened tonight. My Wal-Mart finished their Christmas plano-gram reset and a whole new case of Titaniums were out! Someone got there before me, as there was only 1 TIE Interceptor to be found, but I digress.
A couple of days ago, I received my Shadow Stormtroopers from StarWarsShop.com, and on the bottom of both of the factory sealed figures there was a blue dot near the UPC. Just a plain old sticker inserted on the cards inside the sealed packages and star case. I thought nothing of it.
Tonight, on a couple of the Titaniums, the blue dot appeared, and the ones with blue dots not only had their Date Stamps on different parts of their cards they had minor paint variations.
So I'm wondering- what does this blue dot mean? Has any one else found Hasbro Star Wars items with this dot?
My next couple of posts will show this dot on my opened Shadow Stormtrooper card (attached to this post), as well as my Super Star Destroyers.
The one with a DARK slide tab attached to the standard Star Destroyer has NO blue dot, and the Date Stamp is located on the bottom right of the card back. The one WITH the blue dot has a LIGHT slide tab (painted differently), and the Date Stamp is in a different place. I circled the Date Stamps in the last pic of the SSD backs here.
Observe- then we'll talk A-Wings.
