Title: TSC Recent Acquisitions
Post by: Darth Slothus on November 18, 2005, 03:19 PM
Just thought I'd start a thread here for folks to brag about their recent TSC buys. Similar to the episode three recent purchases thread that I like to view so I know when to start hitting the stores

The stores around me have so much ROTS stock that there has been no sign of the "final 5".  Therefore, I'd just like to preemptively post that when you all start finding the 1st wave of TSC I will not be finding them for like 3-4 months after that... :P
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: CHEWIE on December 2, 2005, 02:21 PM
Some stores in my area are well stocked with ROTS, others are not.   So who knows... I am sure that TSC will start leaking in before Christmas at some locations though.

 :P

I just noticed that rishakra and CHEWIE's avatar gifs are very similar in theme.

Do you guys shop at the same kid getting hit in the head with a ball gif shop?  ;D

I was actually inspired by CHEWIE's gif.  The way that kid arches his back after getting popped in the head.   :D  Man that is too funny!

Agreed! Priceless!  ;D

Back to topic- I just found the Carkoon Wave at TRU in Toronto Canada!

We aren't getting the fianl ROTS 12 up here, but at least there is something for under the tree this year.  ;D

Actually, I don't mind them.  For OTC, I preferred the US picture cardbacks over CDN starbursts (and collected US), but the star background works well here.  It doesn't distract from the figure.

Or two lava lamps...

Anyway, yeah, Canada misses out a lot on distro. For one thing we don't have Target up here of K-Mart, so all those exclusives never make it this way.  :(

Hasbro Canada is not distro-ing the final 12 ROTS figs up here either. I think that's why we just happened to get TSC so soon. It has happened a few times before that the final wave of a line didn't come up here to regular stores. Transitional OTC wave comes to mind as well.

As far as getting stuff first, unless there is a solid release date like with the ROTS line, things usually show up State-side first and slowly filter their way up here.

That answer long enough for ya?  ;D

LOL, understatement of the year there, here's the Canadian history lesson for modern:

POTF2 - last two waves never made it (RH Vader, etc.); also never saw the EU figures at retail
Commtech - two figures never made it locally, though they were found elsewhere
Episode I - last two waves - R2-B1, etc.
POTJ - last two waves (seeing a trend yet?)
Saga - everything after Djas Puhr or so - more than two waves
Post -OTC - final wave, though the first POTC wave came
ROTS - final 12.

Post by: OCEAN on December 22, 2005, 08:50 AM
  I picked up Boba Fett with the dooku holo at Walmart this morning. I also got the Darth Vader Transformer. They had all six figures up there and they looked good but I think I am going to collect certain figures this go around, mainly variants and army building figures. If anybody is wondering about the prices, the basic figure I bought at Walmart was $5.88 and the Transformer was $14.97.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: rishakra on December 23, 2005, 09:27 AM
Found the entire SAGA wave at TRU this morning. $6.99 each sucks though.... Only picked up Leia and Fett.

WM had nothing.  REALLY want the new Republic Attack Cruiser... :-[
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Jesse James on December 23, 2005, 09:45 AM
$6.99 is going to force me to be a good bit more choosey with what I buy...  Army building is going to be a bit more calculated, custom fodder too...  And figures like Fett won't be on my "to buy" list now whereas they likely would have been picked up at the $5-ish price range...  Things start jumping in price and I gotta alter my habits to accomodate.

I'm hoping a competition war will cause some drops at Target and Wal-Mart at the least...  TRU hopefully will come to the $6 range and KB and KM can just suck it.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Darth Slothus on December 23, 2005, 10:28 AM
$5.88 @ Wal Mart ;D
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Brian on December 23, 2005, 06:38 PM
I stopped to pick up a couple of things at Wal-Mart today, one place I really didn't want to go (insane busy), but I was glad I did.  They had some new stuff on the pegs, and I picked up 3 of the "Battle of Carkoon" wave...Leia (Boussh), Bib Fortuna, and Barada.  They had one other Barada on the pegs, but the rest were gone.  I was hoping to get Han (and Chewie), but its nice to have a few picked up.  They rang up $5.88 at Wal-Mart here too.  Also saw a few of the Transformers, but didn't pick them up.  The hunt is on!
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: TheBlackDog65 on December 24, 2005, 02:28 AM
These hit Utah today/tonight at Walmarts. $5.88 also here. Picked up the ones I wanted leaving the ones I didn't. I would have to say that even the $5.88 price range still greatly alters my buying habits. I will purchase only the figures I really like/want and leave the rest. If they were the $5 dollar range, I would probably alter that. I'll be surprised if we see prices drop at Walmart on this wave.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Jesse James on December 24, 2005, 02:33 AM
$5.88 isn't too shabby...  About what we paid all year...  That $6.99's gonna suck though if TRU doesn't budge on price.  It'll just be another reason not to go to TRU ever.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Darth Slothus on December 24, 2005, 03:38 AM
picked these up in northern cally tonite @ WM 10 minutes prior to closing off the pallet- got all 6 fresh out of case. Case was wave 1 rev 1.5(1.5!!? there was already a rev. 1?)

notable holo's were Maul, Boba,Dooku/ Yoda, Obi, Solo

glad these are done..phew ::)

I saw 2 more unopened cases at a 24 hour WM  in the next city
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Darth_Anton on December 24, 2005, 12:00 PM
I scored the Saga wave at TRU. They rang up at $6.99, but my wife insisted that they charge me $5.99 since there were no $6.99 tags to be seen.

Yep, that is where ROTS started, and at that time I had no intention to buy one of everything in that line (for the single figures) and that did not change until the price dropped. Luckily, when the price dropped I was able to find everything I needed (I did buy some at the $5.88, but again, only what I wanted).  The difference is 6 figures at $5.88 and tax here are $37.61, while 6 figures at $4.77 are $30.51, or a $7 difference. Times that $7 over 10 waves and $70 is alot of collecting money to spend on repack figures. Thus the price for me makes the difference of picking up a repack or passing on it, even a modified repack like Fett.

Saw the wave today at Walmart.  I was surprised to see most of them still on the pegs.  I almost got Fortuna but I did not.  The lines were way too long for a single SW figure.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Jim on December 28, 2005, 04:30 PM
Okay, my two WM's are officially swimming in this stuff as of today.  Both stores had about 10-15 of each figure on the pegs which look to be the same figs from the last few days.  Was able to score my Chewie and Barada which makes me officially caught up and ahead of the game.  I was quite surprised to see them sitting for a couple days since the stores are crazy busy in my area.   On a side note I noticed some younger kids at one store upset that there were no ROTS figs left.  They could of cared less about the OT stuff.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Greg on December 28, 2005, 09:32 PM
I got Leia at Target on Monday, I'm still looking for Boba, and I think I'm going to wait to get Barada and Bib at Wal-Mart. I'm not really too interested in Han and Chewie.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Jeff on December 29, 2005, 01:17 PM
Finished off my set at Target this afternoon, grabbing a Bib and Chewie to keep carded and a Boba and Barada to open.

Unfortunately, because I wasn't paying enough attention when I bought the "opener" figures (Boba and Barada), I am now the proud owner of THREE Count Dooku Mini-Holos.   ::)

I was so busy worrying about the paint jobs on them because I knew I was going to open them that I completely forgot to flip them around to check the mini-holo too.  Turns out they both had the Dooku Holo, which I already had from Bib last week...   >:(

The new figures have turned up in WalMart and Target here.  The prices at Target are 6.99 and at Walmart 5.99.  I bought Bib, Leia Boushh and Han Carbonite but did not buy any of the repacks, and that will probably be my policy for the Saga figures.

I may be a young and new collector, but I started with the Vintage Original Trilogy Collection so I am a bit spoiled, if you will, and I shall not be purchasing many repacks. The majority of the figures in the Power of the Force 2 line are simply not something I would like to have in my collection. I will buy some repacks on figures I missed out on in past lines that I like, but for the most part, I will only be buying the new sculpts.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Brian on January 5, 2006, 03:36 PM
Although I hadn't planned on stopping there (since it was bare yesterday), I did quick run into Wal-Mart after lunch today and happily found the figure pegs with something actually on them.  They had all the Carkoon wave aside from Barada (which I found there a week+ back), so I was able to pick up Han Solo (Carbonite) and Chewbacca.  I was half tempted to get the Boba Fett as well, but I hadn't originally planned on it and stuck to that.  One of the Fetts they had had the Fett holo as well, which made it a little more tempting.  At any rate, its nice to say that I'm caught up until the Hoth wave hits now.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: ruiner on January 5, 2006, 05:49 PM
Ughh, I still don't know what to do with this line once it hits here.

Half of me wants to buy them all and keep them carded like I did with the OTC line and the other half of me wants to just buy the "new" figures to open...

My better half wants me to do neither....

Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Jesse James on January 6, 2006, 03:43 AM
I picked up Bib at WM tonight...  One of 3 Bibs and no other figures on the pegs.  At least I could pick out a reasonably non-horrific face paintjob.

I'm seeing some of the flaws people are up in arms (no pun) about with this figure.  It's far from perfect.  I'd give it a mediocre, and when compared to Meena Tills, Ask Aak, or Mas Ameda from last year this figure is a major letdown really. 

I won't say letdown for me personally but I see some of the points out there...  He's passable by my standards on figures like this, but yeah I can see how it could have easily have been done better for poseability and not lost much in looks.

Found much of the Hoth wave today at Wal-Mart.  I picked up Veers, Derlin, Gonk, Snowtrooper, and 2 AT-AT Drivers.  Very surprised to find them already (just got Carkoon last week), but I'm happy to have them.  I wonder if we'll continue to see them come out this quickly.

I picked up Han yesterday.  These new figs look cool, but I'm not really in the modern line too much any more, unless it's for clones or Han stuff.  However, I may pick up a sandtrooper or two when they come out.

Also, I'm looking now, does anyone know if there will be star cases made for these figures?  It kind of pisses me off that the current figures won't fit in the case that every other figure from the beginning to the POTC fit in the same case and these recent ones don't.

Toys 'R' Us, KB Toys, and Target have steadily had nothing since all of you have been finding the Hoth wave, but this morning I finally found the Hoth wave at Walmart.

I must say that the AT-AT driver and General Veers are the winners from this bunch, and I think that the Derlin has potential to customize into a nice SA Hoth Rebel Trooper if you take the backpack and rifle  from the POTF2 versions.

In my area I have noticed a trend. The waves are hitting Walmart, then Target, then TRU. After that the Saga waves disappears and we did not see more figures until the next wave hit. Then it was a ratio of 3 Carkoon to 1 Hoth in many Walmarts, some getting a 3 to 2 ratio of Carkoon to Hoth.
My question is has anyone seen a Wally, Target or TRU restock a Saga wave after initially receiving their first shipment?

Yep,  Super Target here put out 2 solid cases of the Hoth wave today, same store put out 2 cases of the Hoth wave last week when it started to hit, with no sign of the Carkoon wave this time around.

The Target across the street from me sucks an inordinant amount of ass, so it's not entirely typical, but I check it in the morning at opening and in the evening (I walked through it to get to the train station). They have not restocked the wave since I grabbed a case from them a few weeks back, as far as I can tell. They'll probably only get a single case of Hoth as well.  ::)

Targets in my area don't seem to be lacking the Carkoon wave. Check 4 different Targets over the weekend. All of them restocked but only two of them had the Hoth wave. The other two stocked 2-3 cases of the Carkoon wave. We have nearly full sets of wave 1 peg hanging here.

And I got a Han Solo tonight at Wal-Mart.  Everyone was reporting Carkoon Wave around our area though, and smatterings of Hoth Wave remnants.  So that's a plus.  Bodes well for me finding something at some point.

Hey Morbug, I'm about to move to Italy so I'm going to have to resort to ordering cases like that.  I've never had to order whole cases.  I don't know what I'm going to do w/ the ones I don't want like the lame repack of Anakin and Vader Hoth...  That case should have more of Cody!  Cody REALLY needs to be over packed.  Why doesn't Hasbro get it?  You could put 4 Cody's per case and still not have enough!!! ::)
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: TheBlackDog65 on January 17, 2006, 10:27 PM
I too am also really considering ordering cases for the waves I want. Just saves the time of running to get them. Guess I'm lazy  . . . . no, I have other things that I want to do with my time. For my extra's I'll either give them to my son if he wants em, or I have a 4 year old that my 11 year old son has corrupted (our neighbors son who is 4 saw my son's Darth Vader costume at Halloween, and he came over in November and played with my son for about 4 hours. All they played was Star Wars. It was actually cool because we had an older Vader costume from when my son was that age and we gave it to him, well, my son did as well as an old he won't fit Jedi costume; my son has newer ones). The 4 year old would love the figures!
Question I have. Those who have ordered from NewForce have you had any experiences of not receiving a preorder? I have never not received product when ordered from EE (though I pay slightly more). Any input on NewForce I would appreciate. Always willing to give someone a try.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Morgbug on January 18, 2006, 12:19 AM
Well, I'll probably give the worst report on Newforce of anyone here. 

Please remember though that I am in Canada.  I've dealt with Rick a lot in the past, all the way back into the POTJ era.  I've only rarely had an order cancelled and when I did, I was far from the only one.  Some people did receive their cases, but not very many and Rick is always very upfront about it.  As soon as he hears he will not get a fulfillment of an order, he tends to post it and email as well. 

My problems stem from missing out because he has to handle Canadian shipments differently and in the past seem to have slipped his mind.  This is not an isolated occurrence either, as many others have had the same scenario.  I took to emailing him reminders whenever I knew shipments were in, but often to no avail.  I eventually gave up on Newforce because Hasbro was seriously shafting them and then Rick's need of reminders for my shipments. 

To be fair Rick was usually dependable, shipping was always exact, no handling fee and he was a good guy via email.  That would be why I'm trying again with them, good customer service in general.  I have changed one thing in that I am getting them shipped to a buddy in the US and then having them forwarded up here.  It ends up costing me a bit, but I'm hoping I get treated as a regular US based customer meaning I can order and they show up. 

I think you'll find that Jeff and Scott have had good service from them in the past as well.  I think any problems Newforce may have in your case would stem from them getting screwed by Hasbro, something entirely out of their power.

I highly recommend New Force because I've purchased a lot of Star Trek and Simpsons figure cases from him since 2000.  I've never purchased Hasbro products from him but I imagine if there are problems it won't be his fault.

Cool, thanks for the input. I'll give em a try and place a order next week. I did score 3 more AT AT drivers, 1 for me (gives me 4 for my AT AT), 3 for a friend and 1 for another friend. Hooked up another local collector with a gonk droid. Now I'm done hunting until the next wave if I don't order it online.

Just curious...but for those of you finding TSC, do they keep getting re-stocked?  I've been fortunate enough to find the Carkoon wave, as well as most of the Hoth wave, but I think it was a case of just being there at just the right time.  The figures have been totally sold out the next day (or maybe the same day, who knows), and the pegs have been bare since then.  I have yet to see any figures at Target, so this has all been at Wal-Mart.  I was just curious if anyone else has been seeing this pattern.  I don't know if its just because they are just starting out, or if they need to ship more or what, but the figures sure seem to be selling great (even the repacks), so you'd think they would want to keep those pegs stocked a little more regularly.  I mean, I'm not complaining, the only figures I haven't seen on the pegs yet are the Hoth R2 and Vader, but I think that's more just been dumb luck than anything else :).
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: TheBlackDog65 on January 19, 2006, 11:34 AM
Brian,

I have only seen them at Walmart once (Hoth), and the Carkoon did the same thing, hit once at Walmart then nothing. When Hoth showed up, the ratio was 3 Carkoon to either 1 or 2 cases of Hoth depending on the volume of the store.

Targets here have put out the Hoth wave on Saturday, and then either yesterday or today they put out the second shipment. Same thing with Carkoon when the hit. Target seems currently to be putting out 3 cases of Carkoon to 2 cases of Hoth. So, yes, the have hit multiple times. Bad thing is they are hitting multiple tiimes at Target and that means paying more per figure.

Post by: stabler on January 19, 2006, 02:12 PM
Outside of a freak visit to a KB that was STACKED for some odd reason, I've only ever seen scant remnants, some Bibs, Baradas so the first hoth 'scrap' I came upon I had to gobble up without hesitation. At least I never bought the deluxe Riekan from the defunct 'saga' line. I think you have to get there 15 minutes early with your nose on the door and run for gold to get them when they are 'released'. I'm not conducting funny business with the stockroom, so I don't know what's when and who's who. The only folks who practice that do so because time is money, and money is playing some role in their collecting habit. *cough*scalpers *cough*

I went on a toy run this morning and the 4 stores I visited were simply rich with figures   ::)

Walmart:

4 peg hooks, totally empty.


Target:

8 peg hooks.  1 Bib Fortuna figure dangling from one of them, ripped card.


Toys 'R' Us:

3 peg hooks.  1 Mon Mothma figure.


KB Toys:

Nothing.  Apparently there's not even a star wars section anymore.


 
How about that?!  Nice morning haul eh?  I visited 4 ******* stores, found 15 peg hooks total and just one Saga figure, Bib Fortuna.

You really have to wonder what the hell is going on.  Why are these stores so bad at this?  First of all, there aren't enough facings or peg hooks for THE hottest action figure line at present and probably of all time.  Furthermore, of the limited peg hooks they have, they could at least put some lousy figures on them.  Even the bad ones.  EIII figures were easy to find here in just about any multiples I desired them.  And when EIII went out, Star Wars pretty much went with it.  I did see the Hoth wave one time 11 days ago and have not seen another blessed thing in any store KB, TRU, Wally, Target since.

Ha Ha went to 7 stores yesterday they had a total of 30 saga figures ...sure they were pegwarmers..leia,han, and bib(they been sitting a couple of weeks now) but I think the stores are pausing before ordering the geonosis line.

I picked up:

Snowtrooper (x2)

I think it's a sign of the times when the repacks, packed 1 per figure, go first and the new figures sit longer.

Even in OTC when it first started shipping, the repacks still sat and new figures were the hot ones.  Now all of a sudden nobody cares about the new figures while the repacks are gobbled up...  It stinks of people reselling them I'm afraid.  That's just my observation though.

I can't even find Fett's for the kids.  It's downright frustrating.

I found the 3 new Carkoon figures one at a time...  Eventually though I saw that they really sat to some extent while you couldn't find a Chewbacca in chains to save your life.  It's almost comical really. :)  But yeah, Hasbro's supposedly making this line and these repacks for kids...  This is what's here to keep the peopel from ROTS who got into it because of that film and aren't die-hard collectors right?  Wellllllll, I'm thinking that's more a load of **** with every passing week.

I've been thinking about this as well, Jesse. I walked into Target on Monday night to find 4 Veers and 4 Derlin hanging on the pegs, along with one Riekeen. So not just one case of figures had been looted, but two. Of that, only a lone Riekeen, which can still be found in his Deluxe incarnation online, was left of the rehashes.

That one Target then has had 12 cases of Saga I've counted pass through the store. (I live across the street from it and sometimes check twice a day).

I fing it hard to believe that fans had their fill of a new, cool figure like Veers but are gobbling up a repainted R2-D2. Those should be hanging, or at least selling at a consistent pace with the new figures. Same with the previous wave - Boushh is left over while Barada or a (not very good) Chewbacca is scooped up?

Odd. And fishy.

Hasbro finally ships some good ratios of figure packing and speculators show up on the scene? I can see the potential for mass hysteria breaking out when the supposed Bounty Hunt cardbacks/repaints/turd-in-a-plastic-bubble shows up.  :-\

What I have noticed in recent history is that eventually, maybe a month or two after a wave is supposed to have first started showing up, is that the supply starts to overwhelm the demand and there is a stretch of a couple weeks where you can pick up just about anything you want.

I think right now (I hope) what I'm seeing is just the first trickles of waves hitting the pegs, and that soon there will be at least some kind of stock available.

Right now it literally looks like locusts came through the Star Wars section of TRU, Walmart, and Target, with just bare peg hooks remaining.  And as you look around the toy section, pegs are STUFFED full of every single other toy brand including Wrestling, Marvel Legends, GI Joe, McFarlane etc.  But Star Wars is completely bare.

I saw basically the same thing at Target yesterday.  Within the past week, they've finally stocked (missed Carkoon, straight to Hoth wave at our Targets), and there has been 4-5 Derlins, a couple of Veers and a lone Rieekan on the pegs for now.  I still haven't ever seen R2 or Vader on the pegs here, and figures like Gonk, Barada, and Chewie I have only seen the one time when I picked them up.  It does seem strange.  Our Wal-Mart here is barren also, which is always disappointing to see.  Hopefully things will start shipping a little heavier pretty soon.

I saw a report online (from Texas I believe) of the Geonosis wave being found at Target as well.  Just when I thought I was done looking for a bit :).  I picked up the last Hoth wave figure I wanted this weekend, when I found R2-D2 at Target.  They had the entire wave packed on the pegs, aside from the Vader, which I still haven't seen.  Not so sure I want it anyways, so I think I'm "caught up" for now...until the Geo wave starts showing up here.  It kind of hurt to pay that $6.99 price for a basic figure though, I had found the rest at Wal-Mart.  Oh well, happy to have the figure though.

Picked up four Hoth figures (in addition to the case I bought).  I snagged another couple of AT-AT drivers (is this just a repainted Saga Tie Pilot?), another Veers (armor on, armor off) and an extra Gonk droid.

I saw a report online (from Texas I believe) of the Geonosis wave being found at Target as well. 

Good grief!  I guess we should expect that since we are now in February and all and these seem to be coming out at a lighning pace, but dang my wallet needs a break (especially paying $7 a figure  :'().

Nah, there are pretty big differences in the helmet sculpt particularly around the helmet eye lenses, and the poseability of the right arm at the elbows.

The TIE Pilot right arm cannot be straightened out and fully extended like the AT-AT Driver's.  Plus, the left arm is sculpted permanently straight with no joint on the TIE Pilot.

Looking at these 2 figures in my hand right now...I LOVED the TIE Pilot when it first came out, but now that I have the AT-AT Driver, it is light year's better.

I finally scored a Power Droid/Treadwell Droid 2-Pack at Target. Expect a review soon. Target also had a Snowtrooper, 3-4 AT-AT Drivers, 3-4 General Veers, and a Battle Of Geonosis Yoda, proof that the BOG Wave had been there.

Post by: Spectre on February 12, 2006, 12:04 AM
This week I snagged Veers and 4 Gonk Droids/Treadwell Droids. The Hoth wave is here in abundance, having seen all of them in multiples for the past 2 weeks.  I only bought the 5 figures as I have no  interest in any of the others.

When the Geonosis wave hits, I only plan on getting Sora Bulq, Sun Fac, and a quartet of Republic Commandos (for customizing purposes, I'm not a Clone fan in the least but they'll make good base bodies for armored mercs ;) ).

Minnesota seems to be stuck between waves at the moment, but I did grab another AT AT driver and hoth gonk to add background pieces. It is tough to think about multiples at $7.00 each with the number of figures coming out.

A local Target store had three sets of the Geonosis wave, minus the Clone Trooper and Scorch of course, as of 9AM this morning. I only purchased a single Sora Bulq figure as he was the only one I wanted other then Scorch and the Clone Trooper, so everything else I left on the shelves including both versions of C-3PO.

This weekend I was able to score from Walmart my Scorch, Utapau Clones, Sun Fac, Sora Bulq. Seems the Wally's here had 2 cases of Hoth and 1 case of Genosis that had  the 2.5 breakdown.
Case Breakout was:
1 Scorch
1 Utapau Clone
1 Jango
2 Yoda
2 C3P0 (1 of each variant)
2 Poggle
2 Sun Fac
1 Sora Bulq.

With only 1 case per store its hard to build more than one of Scorch or the Clones because by the time one drives to other stores, seems other collectors have swepted em up!

That's odd the case says wave 2.5 isn't it? Mine said the same thing at my Wal Marts. Our four Wm stores got 3-4 cases of 2.5 each store and 2 of the stores additionally got 2 cases of hoth.

Now there isn't one Geo wave fig on the WM pegs 3 days later although you can find them pegwarming at the 2 Targets in my area ::)

Post by: Brian on February 20, 2006, 10:06 AM
I had a chance to stop by the Target that is across town from us, and they had some of the Geonosis wave on the pegs.  I saw 2x C-3PO (1 with BD head), 2x Sun Fac, 2x Poggle, and 1x Yoda.  No clones of course.  I picked up a Poggle since I skipped the box set version.  I just about got the Sun Fac as well, because it sounds like its a very nice figure, but one Geonosian was enough for me and Poggle was a little more important to the movie(s) I guess.  Anyways, nice to see something new.  Our closest Target is still full of the trifecta of Veers, Derlin, and Rieekan.  Wal-Mart is bare of anything outside of Unleashed Battle Packs.

I'd like to give a shout out to the fine folks who dumped all thier Wave 1 figures at my Target over the weekend -- likely doing so after buying figures at TRU for 4.99 and dragging their old reciepts and new (old wave) purchases into to get some cash back on the difference. Hurray for your savings, and F you for clogging the pegs of my local store with Bib Fortunas for the next three months. Jackasses.

F you for clogging the pegs of my local store with Bib Fortunas for the next three months. Jackasses.

I'll totally agree with you there Jared.

I don't want to get into whether it's right or wrong, but it sure sucks ass when you go to Target on a Saturday and find 1x Poggle and 1x Derlin on the pegs, only to return to the same Target on Wednesday to find 11x Bib Fortuna, 3x Derlin, and 3x Barada hanging on the pegs.   

You know there is no case assortments that could have arrived in the last two days to get to that point, and you know it's going to take weeks to unload all those Bibs.  >:(

The best part comes when those same inconsiderate people then feel they have the right to piss and moan when they can't find the Coruscant wave at Target next month...   ::)

I got Poggle the Lesser today at Target, even though I had the old one. He is a great figure, and I couldn't pass up the new one @$5.89. Not SAGA2, but I picked up a SAGA Arena Padme over the weekend at TRU for $2.49. It came with the backround and she had the mole on her face. I just need Scorch, the Jedi, C-3PO, Jango, and at least two of those clones and I'll be done with Geonosis.
                                                         -Gregory


P.S.- Don't know if this is old news, or if it is just my store, but my Target had SW SAGA2 Figures on sale for $5.89. They only had Poggles, Derlins and Reikans, though. Might wanna check your Target if you want a discounted pegwarmer. :P

Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: TheBlackDog65 on February 26, 2006, 03:41 PM
Problem is, the figures that people want (Scorch and the Clone) won't peg warm. They will continue to fly off the shelves either by scalpers, collectors who army build, collectors buying for other collectors etc. Thus what will peg warm are the Poggles the Sun Facs, the C3P0's, Yoda's and eventually the Jango's. What I would be worried about if I was seeing huge case volumes at a store is that if a Walmart has only 4 pegs set aside for 3 3/4 figures, you could see a delay of the next wave being put out if the pegs become too fill. Other point is that if the pegs pegwarm with these figures, more figures being sent to the store from the warehouse is highly unlikely, htus maintaining demand for the figures.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Darth Slothus on February 26, 2006, 04:18 PM
Your points are well spoken, Dog. Good thing is I have 4 WM's to shop at. Funny thing is..last week this same wM got in 5 cases and sold them out! Unfortunately the 5 hard core collectors in my area have all the reg. figs now so now I do expect that store to be pegwarming heaven for 2 months unless they set up end caps...all this and only 8 pegs at that store!

Think I adressed this issue last night in other forums in this TSC thread. Jared pointed it out first though. Maybe it was the geonosis wave thread?
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Dhivael on February 27, 2006, 08:50 AM
This is only amazing to me because i just today found the hoth wave. :( Iowa sucks if you're trying to find figures.
My answer to the pegwarming problem: absolutly that is a problem, and every non movie year it has been. But frankly if Hasbro would put out an armybuilder case (I.E. Scorch x4 Clone x8) we would be in great shape!

Post by: Jeff on February 28, 2006, 08:38 PM
Here's a story for ya...

So, I wake up this morning and in the process of putting in my contact lenses, I use up the last of my contact solution.  I make a mental note so that hopefully I will remember to buy some when I make my daily trip to Target to look for toys.  Well, it was one of those busy days at work and I didn't have time to run out to Target over lunch.  I figured "no problem".  I'd just hit Walgreens on my way home and grab a new bottle or two to re-supply.

Now, I drive past this particular Walgreens every day on my way to work, never giving it a second thought most of the time, that is, until days like today when I actually need to stop in there.  So, I pull into the parking lot, hop out of my car and head into the store.  I moved past a few old ladies milling about in the entry way and check out the overhead signage.  I see the sign for "Eye Care" and off I go.

Now, the path from the front door leads me directly past the toy aisle.  I figure, what the hell.  I'll check it out and possibly get the chance to mock the dusty Ep1 figures still on the pegs or something.  Here's where the fun begins.

What do you think was hanging on the pegs?

CLICK ME for your answer! (http://www.jedidefender.com/image.pl?http://www.jedidefender.com/jsmentek/photos/coolscore.jpg)   I know what you're thinking - it's nuts.  Still can't believe it myself.

It was like Karma reached down from the Heavens and said, "Here you go dude!"  They only have ONE Star Wars figure in the whole damn store and it's freakin' Scorch?  Unreal.  He was surrounded by a bunch of Power Ranger and Ninja Turtle crap on a lone peg marked "Star Wars Series - $7.99".  No Yoda, no Poggle - just one lonely Scorch.   :o

I asked the employee in the store if they had any more.  She checked the back and said, nope.  They got a box in last week and that is all that's left.  So, thank you to all the old ladies of Oakdale who picked up Poggle or 3PO or Jango for their grandkids and left Scorch behind.   :)
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: JediFirefly on February 28, 2006, 11:42 PM
Very lucky find Jeff. I work at a Walgreens and I wish we would get some of the new figures in. My store is suppose to carry the figures as a basic item meaning we should always have some on the shelf and get them in if we dont. We did not have any figures since Christmas and now they finally got some in and what are they episode 3 figures 2 Vaders and 1 mufustar sentry neither worth the $7.99 for me. I keep hoping though that I will find a case of newer figures in our stock room our open up a tote while stocking and find a figure I want.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Ithorian Clergy on March 2, 2006, 08:30 AM
Today I found the first new thing in 2 weeks in my area and picked up the Boba Fett die cast figure.  Vader was there as well, but I left him, because enough is enough with the Vader figures already.  I wasn't going to buy Fett either, but it occured to me that this is the first action figure rendition of Boba Fett with a removable helmet, and that's just cool.

As far as future die cast figures though, I probably will not be buying any of the  characters that aren't metal to start with.  For example, a metallic Bossk does not interest me, but a metal IG-88 will do just fine.

But buy Boba today!

I recently picked up a Sora Bulq and Scorch. I should have grabbed a few of the Sun Facs that were there now that I think about it. Still haven't found a Geonosis Yoda yet...

This question may be a little off-topic for this section of the forums, but I've been wondering whether or not Hasbro has made any plans to produce figures of the other members of Delta Squad. The Scorch figure looks great on his own, but to have them all, each with their respective weapon type, would be awesome.

I picked up a Sora Bulq at KB Toys this weekend, so now its just that pesky Utapau Clone to find :).  The Geonosis wave is starting to show up around here a little more, but its always just the bugs when I've found them (aside from the lone Sora at KB).  Our local WM continues to have bare pegs, and is filling them with other stuff at this point.  They are stocked full of Titanium, Transformers, and Choppers though :).  I also picked up the Titanium Millennium Falcon (Battle Ravaged).  I always wanted to get this one, but I have to admit I was tempted a couple time this weekend to collect this line further and pick up the Gunship, AT-AT, and a few others.

I bought my first true saga figure on Saturday. I got the C-3PO with battle droid head (it's the version with the battle driod head already attached). I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am not going to do what I did last year and drive around, wasting an a**load of gas just in the hopes of finding a figure. No more 8 AM Target/11PM Wal-Mart runs on the weekends either. It's just too stressful and expensive. I will collect the VOTC stuff and I don't care if I really get any UGH or bounty hunt or whatever they're calling it this week figures. If I luck into them great and if not oh well. I think I just hit the shows and work out some trades with dealers for anything I want that I can't find. I'll get what I come across that I find cool. Otherwise if Hasblo wants my dollar they can make this stuff easier to get.

believe it boys and girls the coruscant wave is hitting.  found lushros about 10 minutes ago at local target.   ;D  but the only bad thing was i go around to the next isle over and i see a mom w/son and there's 3 other figs in the cart.  from what i saw with the brief glance that i took 1 definately had orange markings so it was either Cody or a grunt.  i go the next isle over and here the kid tell his mom about getting a video game instead and she says but we'll have to put the star wars back.  so needless to say i spent the rest of my lunch basically stalking this lady and kid to see if they put them back/down somewhere.  If I was only 5 minutes faster I could've grabbed them they only one row down when I got there  :'(

Hasbro is not responsible for 'how easy it is for you to get', retail is. Hasbro simply fills the orders for retail's requests. It's retail's fault for not recognizing a higher demand/insufficient production. It's a big selling line and retail mistakingly determined the line would lose interest in a non movie year. There's 4 pegs for basic at most of my WM's-Is that Hasbrow's fault too? 
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: darth punkinhed on March 14, 2006, 01:16 PM
Man, and I thought this was the civil board. Looks like I could have been wrong...

As for "easy to get" what I meant was ( and I should have just stated what I meant) is that instead of putting out 30 figures at a time or in weekly waves they could put out less figures and increase the carton counts. something along the lines of what they did with POTF2. I don't recall having issues getting star wars figures in the 70's when they first came out either.

But to blame Wal-mart for blank pegs....Come on, star wars is probably 1/10 of a percentage point of their sales revenue. They could care less but blank pegs are not exactly because they don't order enough or stock the shelves appropriatly. It's the scalpers, the hot wheels guys, the geeks living in mom's basement who do the ebay thing (or grandmas doing the ebay thing-I've seen them stalk the aisles too) and those that think they need to snag avery single one of the hot figure to trade and pass on to their friends because if they don't the "scalpers will get them" are snagging them up. Oh and the kids, since toy's are general for kids. No, that couldn't be it. It's Walmart's/Meijer's/Target's/TRU's/KB's lack of vision for not wanting to over order on a non returnable item so you can hold out and wait for it to go on clearence to get it on the cheap costing them retail dollars by sitting on shelves and not moving.

And I never said the C-3PO was for trade, I know better than to try to trade a new figure like that but I'm sure I could get some stuff out of this sealed AT-AT I've been looking to move......

We now return you to your normally scheduled board......Let's try to keep it on topic.

When I got my Geonosis wave case from New Force it was marked "wave 2.5".

Leave it to Hasbro to use creative numbering... it's not the first time (500th Vader?).   ;)

I remember when we got the initial case assortments list from ahh another site.. it showed coruscant in wave 3. Then, it turned out geo was wave 2.5 ::).
Probably just a good bet to open any case.... just in case.

Hit a local Target near work this morning around 9:30AM. Found the Anakin, Obi-Wan, Lushros Dofine, Holographic Ki-Adi-Mundi, & General Grievous from the Battle of Coruscant wave. They also got in two Hoth Vaders, a Carkoon Han, Leia, and Boba Fett. Regretfully, I did not see a single Firespeeder Pilot, Foul Moudama or Cmdr. Cody figure but there was one guy walking around with a lone Clone Trooper.

Alas, the only figure I picked up was the Holographic Ki-Adi-Mundi as he is the only one from this wave I want besides the three that I did not see today.(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/DarthAcroyear/bloodwing-smiley-010.gif)

WOOT!  I hit the local Target store today over lunch and BAM!  Coruscant, baby!   ;D

Instead of just a lone Bib staring at me from the pegs today, they had:

One of these cases:
2x Scorch, 2x #26 Utapau Clone, 2x Yoda, 1x Jango, 1x Sora, 1x Han, 1x Leia, 1x Chewie, 1x Fett

And one of these Cases:
2x Vader (Saber Out), 2x #26 Utapau Clone, 1x each of the Coruscant wave figures.


I grabbed all the #26 Utapau Clones, #21 Scorchs (or is that Scorches?), and all the Coruscant figures, so I'm now finally done the the Geonosis Wave and half-way done with the Coruscant wave. 

Good day indeed!   :)

Not really(surprising)..some targets stock between 10-3 like my 2 stores, others everything is stocked before they open. Not likely stocked and sitting since opening that long as hot as these are now unless he is the only collector in his area, he isn't.

After about a month of seeing 4 Derlins and 3 Riekkans on Targets pegs, I went in there this morning an hour and a half after they opened and saw boxes out for stocking the pegs.  There were 4 cases, the first three that the employee opened were all a mixture of Carkoon, Hoth, and Geonosis (1 Scorch per case, but no Utapau grunts) and then the 4th case was the brand new Coruscant wave and I scored Cody, 2 Utapau grunts, Foul Moudama, Firespeeder Pilot, Lushros Dofine, Anakin and Obi Wan robes, 2 Scorch.  I left the Grievous and Ki Adi on the pegs.  Great morning!

I ventured out for some groceries after the snowstorm, and I'm glad I did.  This morning I was able to pick up 2x Utapau Clones, and I picked up a Scorch as well.  I always said I'd only get Scorch if I found him on the pegs, and they had a few, so I decided to pick one up.  There were 3x Utapau clones on the pegs when I got there, as well as some Yodas and a smattering of the Carkoon wave.  They rang up at $6.63 though, so the price hike must be in effect here as well too (the pegs aren't labeled otherwise).

Anakin Jedi, 1 new Greivous, 1 firespeeder pilot.  They also had Holo KI-Adi-Mundi, Power Driods, New Vaders and a whole load of stuff but I only had $65 so oh well.

Did pretty well over the past few days - found four of the foil variant UGH figures at my local Target: Cody, AT-AT Driver, Boba Fett & Snowtrooper - basically four of the six that I want REALLY bad as foil variants. If I can score a Scorch & Vader now, I'll be happy, I never expected to find four so fast.

I've also managed to score almost 2 complete sets of the Coruscant wave - I'm missing a Cody and Holo Ki-Adi Mundi opener and then I'll be done with the wave from a regular figure standpoint.

Of course, I'll keep scouring the stores to find as many UGH foil variants as I can get my hands on... even if I keep seeing the same figures over and over, I'll use them to trade for the rest of the 10.

Scored my 1st U clone this morning (1st of many, not 100 but maybe 5).  I had to wait for the hot wheels guy to put it down and pick up the Galatic Hunt Boba Fett but once he did it was all mine. 

The stock "boy" at this Target collects SW so only about half of the case makes it out at a time.  I have seen him bring out only 3 or 4 figures in his hand before while keeping the rest for him.  But screw it, I gots me a clone. ;D

Today I found utapau clone, regular variant vader, general grievous, boba fett (probably the regular variant-flames packed under his feet) and a ki adi mundi holo figure. I also spoke to the guy at one of our local TRU and discovered they are behind on waves so they won't have the hunt figures any time soon so I may hold out that I'll get lucky there. I didn't care to hunt these down before but now that the galactic hunt is on I figure I'd have a better chance of finding the harder to find regular figures now. There's a toy show I'm hitting this Sunday so I'm curious to see what the Hunt figures are being taxed at. Probably $50ea as mentioned on another post, I'll bet the vaders are taxed at $100 after seeing what some have gone for on ebay.

I was at Lennox.  Since I work at OSU that is the one I hit in the morning.  My wife went to the Sawmill one on her way to work and said the pegs were clogged with new figures but I will not make it that way today.  There were no clones there but a lot of figures she had never seen, probably the coruscant wave.

I FINALLY found the 2 Coruscant waves  however no Cody, no Firespeeder Pilot, no Lushros Dofine and no Foul Moudama; only 4 clone troopers, 2 Holographic Ki-Adi-Mundi, 2 General Grievous and like 6 Anakin Skywalker and 6 Obi-Wan Kenobi...what is going on?



Welcome aboard! As far as your find, I haven't memorized all the assortments, but I'm fairly confident that you just happened upon the cases assortment W/O Cody or the fire pilot. The fact that upi found Clone troopers is a good sign that you were the first one there.

Neat story to share. Out hunting and found no Cody's but parts of Coruscant wave. Anyway, they also had 2 Scorches and 6 Utapau Clones.  As I was pulilng some UGH figures for a fellow collector, a mom came around and was looking. I offered to help and suggested some figures and she said that her son had those (she was looking for a b-day party for her son).  Anyway, I said kids like clones and she said, yeah, that's ture and took a Utapau Clone. I then reached up and pulled a Scorch out from the behind the figures and said, here is a clone from a video game called . . . and she said cool and took the figure. 
Nice to hook up a kid with a figure made for a kid.

Found the remaint of Coruscant at Target,Foul.I quickly scooped him up & searched to see if someone hid a stash,no stashes today.I like Foul but I would of prefered Foul being a brand-new figure instead of a rehash.

Saw the remnants of the Coruscant wave at Target, Cody. I passed on him. First time I've seen a figure on the pegs in weeks. Still looking for the Firespeeder Pilot and EU Talz Jedi. Fortunatly, I preordered my Lushros and it will ship March 31st!

Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Pete_Fett on March 28, 2006, 03:44 PM
Scored six more UGH figures for my second partial set: Cody, AT-AT Driver, Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker & Darth Vader.

The only "plus" to finding some of these is that I now have:
UGH Han Solo w/Silver Han Solo Holo
UGH Obi-Wan w/Silver Obi-wan Holo
UGH Commander Cody w/Silver Stormtrooper Holo

I already had
UGH Darth Vader w/Silver Darth Vader Holo
UGH Boba Fett w/Silver Boba Fett Holo

There are enough "bad guys" to get all six Silver Dark Side Holos plus one repeat, but there are only three "good guys" so in order to get a complete set of 12 Silver Holos you're going to need to double up on the good guys.

Damn my OCD - it's making this whole thing all the more frustrating!

Picked up a TSC Cody to finish off that wave.  Also scored UGH Han and Vader.  I almost blinded myself while trying to clear the fingerprints off the foil logo in the light.  Guess I can't blame that on the HW guys though as I'm sure they wouldn't have been on the pegs to begin with.

Pick up another Clone Trooper. I saw six and bought only one. In retrospect, I should have bought at least one more but it's not that big a deal. ::)  I also saw two Scorch figures and left both. No sign of Cody, the Firespeeder Pilot, or the UGH variant chase figures but I have a pretty good ideal of who did. >:(

Scored Cody, holo Mundi, Firespeeder Pilot, and an Utapau Clone today at a small town WM. I suppose it was a case that didn't have Obi-Wan, Grievous, or Scorch, since those were the only figures that weren't there.

Found a surprise tonight at Walmart.  One lone fig.  A Galactic Hunt Cody.  My first Galactic Hunt fig.  I did not even realize it was one til I got to the checkout.  I was just excited to finally find a Cody.  The only thing that makes any sense it that someone hid(?) the figure in the stockroom and another employee put it out.

Nah, other things make sense.  It's not always an evil employee man.  I see lone figs scattered all the time in other aisles from kids who get their little mitts on them and run around with a figure until their mother tells them "no," then it gets tossed 6 aisles away and put back on the pegs during cleanup sometime later.

I hit the same Target where I found the VTSC wave yesterday, and they restocked with ALL of the Coruscant wave. Strange thing was, they had two full pegs of VTSC yesterday, but when I looked today, there wasn't any VTSC figures at all! Glad I got my VTSC Biker Scout when I did... Back to Coruscant, I picked up Foul Moudama. The Fire Pilot looked tempting, but I only brought money for Foul and a bottle of Vault.

I stopped by TRU over lunch today and I was able to pick up most of what I wanted from the Coruscant wave.  I got the Firespeeder Pilot, Foul Moudama, and the repacked Obi-Wan Kenobi.  Plus, they had the buy two get the third free, so it didn't end up too bad.  TRU was well stocked, the first time this year.  They actually had almost all of the Coruscant wave, aside from Anakin and of course, Cody.  I stopped by WM as well, and after having bare pegs for weeks they were fully stocked as well.  It looked to be the Carkoon/Hoth/Geonosis assortment, and then as I was leaving there was a little side endcap (8 pegs or so) filled with parts of the Coruscant wave.  Everything but Cody, Grievous, Obi and Anakin.  I actually saw 4-5 Utapau clonetroopers today, although I left them on the pegs.  I need to cut back a little, and I already have two.  Now if I can just find that pesky Cody, I'll be caught up (aside from the VTSC).

Picked up 2 Cody's (both spoken for by fellow collectors) a Firespeeder pilot (my 2nd), 2 Utap. Clones and a Dofine (fellow collector serving in Iraq). 

Also picked up as posted in the ROTS thread, 4 Jedi Temple Assults from Kmart. They are hitting again but cost more; $29.99 minus 10% so $26.99 plus tax or $28.77. Sure like those 501st better than the Tac Ops though!

Edit: I have 2 JTA's so I am going to return the other 3 and keep only 1.

The Anakin UGH was the only one I saw there and I only saw the one Cody. There were no Firespeeder pilots. Other then that, they had the rest of the Coruscant wave

Walmarts have been putting out shippers full of sw figures.  They are long boxes like the rots ones that they put on the shelves in the aisle or up front.  Each one has 2 UGH figs, cody, firespeeder pilot, I think scorch and the orange clone are in there too.  But hit em up everyone

Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Jesse James on April 16, 2006, 01:27 AM
With the TRU Sale I decided to stock up some.  It brought figures to roughly $4 and change after tax, not tooooo bad really...  COnsidering this year's crappy prices and weaker figure efforts I figured it was the only way I'd really cave on some custom fodder and army builders.

I got:

5 AT-AT Drivers, 2 GONK droids, Major Derlin, and a SNowtrooper.  The snowtrooper was for my gf's son.  I'm refusing to buy that POS kitbash.  Super articulate it or don't put it out there, that's my opinion on him.

I went to another TRU then last night, they'd had some COruscant Wave and Carkoon remnants...  They have 0 figures.  The one I got all the above stuff at has barely anything left now I hear tell as well.

When will these stores realize that $4 and change moves figures well...  $7 let's them rot.  The only way my TRU's make room is when either the figure is rare and moves like Scorch and Cody, or when there's a sale.  Otherwise finding stuff (if you aren't picky) at TRU has been a breeze.  They're the only store with a lot of dedicated peg space for Star Wars these days.

No, Hasbro won irregardless because Retail bought it... 

I won because I got it at a price I found "acceptable".  :)  $4+ isn't shabby to me on most figures despite shortcomings.  BTW you're right Anton that it was closer to $5 but they were still under $5 a figure for me...  The Sales Tax in PA is substantially less, though for cost of living here it evens out to the majority I'm sure.

Anyway I'm ok with that on a lot of those figures, and the AT-AT Driver is pretty decent even at $7-ish.  I felt like I came out on top...  Oh and the kid was disappointed in the Snowtrooper when he opened it.  I tried telling him it's not like his Clones...  He wanted something though, so he took that and now the Snowtrooper's acting as a target for all his figures he likes.

I've yet to catch VTSC anywhere.  Jon, can you let me know (PM if you'd like) price you got the VTSC at WM by chance?  If not it's ok, I'm just curious since that's the first I've heard of Vintage at WM.

BTW our WM's got figures in man...  Finally.  Every one in the area seems to have gotten those 36 figure cases.  Some got less than others it appears, but all at least got one case in...  And of course got picked over irght away and nothing any good was at them but the 4 Clones I ran into.  :)  It's ok, it wasn't a toy run anyway.

Funny though that stuff started to surface...  finally, at our WM's.

I also had luck with a Target red-shirt today.  He looked up the DPCI for the exclusives and brought out 1 each of the Demise of Grievous and Skirmish in the Senate

He said since they had a "street date" of 4/30 he could only bring out 1 of each, but 1 of each is better than zero of each.   ;)

Walked into TRU at 11 AM, and thought I scored the motherload when I saw 10 VTSC figures hanging on the pegs.  Promptly grabbed 2 tusken raiders and 2 biker scouts and was on my way...

And then went into Walmart where BAM, came across an endcap over-*******-flowing with the long VTSC displays.  There was 30 of each figure.  I took 12 biker scouts and left the rest there.  I paid cash. 

Let me tell you, pulling out the credit card would have been a very bad idea, because I would have bought all 30 scouts.

Now, to begin painting the Kashyyyk BARC camo to display some with my Preview Wookiee army...

She tells me, "We don't have any Star Wars". I said, "No Star Wars product at all?" "No, we don't have any Star Wars yet". ::)

I stopped by Wal-Mart yesterday afternoon and they had those end cap displays full of the VTSC.  They are all packed in the cardboard displays, so I even got to take one of those home too.  Not sure what I'll do with it, but I thought I'd take it just in case.  I picked up 3x Biker Scouts, another Han Endor, and a Tusken Raider.  I'd like to get a few more extras, but thought I better cap it at 5 figures for the day since they are $9.96 a pop.  But, either way, I'm caught up with the VTSC for now, so I'm quite happy for that.  Still no new basic figures, just looking for Cody at this point.

Using the DCPI, picked up all VTSC figs except Greedo... just can't bring myself to pay for that felt vest yet.  Picked up 2 Biker Scouts.  Guess I'll have to break down to buy Greedo so I can get the GL Stormtrooper.   Still looking for Skirmish BP.

I originally thought our Rodian friend would be hanging around for clearance, but by the looks of TRU, Walmart and Target around here, he's never going to make it that far.

I stopped by Wal-Mart yesterday to pick up a few extras of the VTSC.  I got a third Han (1 to keep carded, 2 loose), as well as another Luke X-Wing and Tusken.  As I expected, the Scouts were all picked over and gone, but they had a few of everyone else - and lots of Greedo.  They also freshly stocked the basic figures on the opposite side of this "middle aisle display", but of course they had plenty of all except Cody.  The only figure I need to get caught up at this point, at least until Mos Eisley/Tatooine shows up.

Picked up a Clone Wars Gunship today. Cost is $44.99 plus tax or $47.96 in my neck of the woods.

Edit: Let me clarify. My 12 year old son was with me, and he works with us in cleaning my wife's work 1x a week and earns money for doing this. He has a CD that he saves into (30% of the $50 he gets a month) and saves the rest so he can buy stuff when he sees something he wants.
 Anyway, he pointed out to me that I DID NOT buy this, but he did and it is his. I wrote a check and he had to go with me and withdraw the money so I could deposit into the checking account. Long story, but its important to him so thanks.

As for the Senate pack - I could do without the Emperor figure, but the Shock troopers and a senate pod are great ideas.  I can't wait to see someone do a custom diorama with the senate filled with these.

My Early Bird set finally arrived in the mail this morning so that started my day in a nice way. Then I saw six of the "Heroes & Villians" wave figures at Walmart. I picked up the Clone Trooper and Cmdr. Bacara for myself and some other guy got the Mace Windu, R2-D2, Destroyer Droid, and Anakin. I think he was a little put out that I got the two that I did but that's his tough luck. Lucky for me, these are two of the only three figures I want from this wave, the last one being the black Clone Pilot, so I think I did pretty well.

They also had a few VTSC figures left so I grabbed yet another Biker Scout and Sand Person figure.

VTSC HAN SOLO!!

Bwahahahahaha!

"I have you now!"

Sorry, just kinda happy about it ;) He's one great figure. The only things I've found to dislike are that I'm afraid in messing with his waist joint that I'll eventually screw it up and it'll get all floppy and loose, and that his belt hangs kinda weird. I don't think they glued it in the right place...

But he's soooooooooooo awesome! Mwahahah!

Sorry >.<

Glad I went with EE for my next wave.  I've always heard how nice NewForce is but that due to issues beyond his control he sometimes cannot deliver. So I guess I have to go where the consistency is. Business experience would tell me that in time, if NewForce cannot get this issued resolved, they are going to really be hurting as customers shy away from them, which is unfortunate.

Well, I haven't really picked up much but this weekend I was out and about and picked up UGH Han Solo, then a UGH AT-AT driver. This got me in the search mood so I ended up going all over the place and ended up with 3 more UGH, scorch, snowtrooper and grievous. I also ended up picking up the Demise of Grievous. I had hit 3 Targets and when I got to the last one they had 2 on the pegs. I figured I'd rather pick it when I saw it since all the other stores had empty pegs for it than wish I had picked it up later. TRU had just put out a fresh case of VTSC so I picked up the biker scout (since I figure he'd be harder to get later) and the tusken raider (which is my fav of the set). They were around the $9.99 price point. I'll pick up the rest later when I can swing the extra cash so I can get the lucas trooper. I also ended up ordering a shadow trooper of sws.com. I got to thinking with the VOTC figs that I would like to see them release a 12 back set like this. Do the original 12 figs in VOTC style with vintage repro's of the original 12 backs, just with the new figs instead. Not that I'm all excited for this to happen but I think it would be cooler than the card backs they are using now.

Also got some items from an auction I bid on to finish up what I needed in UGH figures. Unfortunately the items came crushed and the silver foil on one figure was torn, so I'm not exactly pleased.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Roton7 on May 14, 2006, 12:07 AM
Well, after just getting my VTSC Luke, I acquired VTSC Sand person! Actually, I have a story to tell (I always have a story to tell)...


I went to the SW section of wally world. I saw tons of basic figures. No seriously, There were about 12 pegs stocked totally full with Geonosis and Coruscant. Well, the only thing I was looking for were the VTSC figures (specifically the sand person), so I was just about to leave when I saw, behind some random other items, a single peg with 2 sand people, 1 han, and about 10 Greedos. I picked up the sand person when I saw something fishy...


Ok, here's the thing: I've been collecting since I was 5. I have heard of swapouts for a year or two now, and then all of a sudden i hear TONS of stuff about VTSC pop's being stolen. But, luckily, I have never encountered any theft of any kind regarding SW items as of yesterday.

Back to the Story:

I look at one of the Greedos to see that it is very, very different than the other figures. The obvious difference is that there is NO CLAMSHELL on the Greedo figure. For a split second, I thought "why would someone take it out? Oh well". Then I realized exactly what happened. The pop's are clearly taped inside the clamshell, as everyone knows. Well, someone moronically removed the clamshell, and removed the pop (he might have taken the clamshell with him as well, because I speculated the area to see no empty clamshell). I am so furious! I know some of you guys have been putting up with this for months now, but now I realize truly how wrong it is now that I've seen it in person.


Well, at least I like my Sand person.

Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Brian on May 15, 2006, 10:49 AM
I picked up a "ROTS Heroes and Villains" Chewbacca at TRU on Friday.  It was the only figure they had from that line, although they did have a peg dedicated to it.  Just a repack, but the cards are spiffy, and it was sort of an impulse buy.  I thought I'd at least pick up Chewie, but probably not any of the others (unless I find the upcoming Shocktrooper or maybe some of the other clones).  I also received my Lucas set from SWShop.com on Friday, and Commander Cody should be on the way from Amazon sometime this week.  Then I'm caught up, aside from the Skirmish in the Senate box set.  Hopefully Target will have it in stock this week.

I just found the new Unleashed wave along with the POP cool display case at WalMart but passed on the Chewie. (Seems to be the case verywhere. They only repainted the base the other 2 at least have new bases. He is the Asajj of the 3 and may also doom future assortments......

Han is the best of the lot. The shocktrooper's head is too small compared to the rest of the body. Overall he still looks ok. My favorite part of my find was the display case that holds 12 packaged Unleashed figures.

You're quite welcome. I hope you enjoyed yourself.

In other news, I picked up a Commander Cody and another Utapau Trooper at Kohls today. It's really funny with those Utapau troopers. I couldn't find one, and in one week I have 5. It's crazy.

Had some good luck over the Memorial Day weekend.  I found and picked up the new Unleashed at Wal-Mart on Friday (picked up Han Stormie and Shocktrooper).  I saw them at two different Wal-Marts over the weekend, stuck away on an aisle away from the action figures.  I also was able to pick up the Skirmish in the Senate battle pack at the Target across town from us, and I couldn't resist picking up another VTSC Scout at Wal-Mart when I saw it.  Those things are so tempting when you see them in the stores ;).  I think I'm basically caught up to the Mos Eisley/Tatooine wave, which hasn't shown up here quite yet.  Also got to catch X-Men: The Last Stand - so a nice weekend overall :).

Post by: jedipurge on May 30, 2006, 11:50 AM
scored big time on these over the weekend.  went to wal-mart, one that through most of ROTS had sqaut so i had virtually stopped going there, scored 1 luke, 2 Hem's, 2 Garidan's, 2 Firefighters.  There all on layaway of course cause it was like $50 at Wally's higher prices.  there were plenty of hem's, garidan's, luke's, & of course han's left over.
no R5's, Mowma's, or Sandies to be seen.  also finally scored vtsc Pilot Luke only the second time i'd seen him.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Roton7 on May 30, 2006, 05:03 PM
Today was a good day! I went to Wally World, and saw pegs and pegs of TSC, yet there were only 2 Tatooine wave figures: Hem and Garindan. I bought them both.

I also saw the entire H&V wave minus the black pilot. I didn't buy a single one. Other than the SA clone, these are all crap. I might end up buying the SA clone later just to customize, but other than that, I'll be waiting until waves 2 and 3 to get excited (shockies and 501st troops--w00t!)

And lastly, I saw tons of VTSC. Luckily, I already have all 5 of mine, but there were just TONS of these babies. There were 4 or 5 pegs, and each peg had to have had at least 10-12 VTSC figures on it. Anyone army-building the scout would have been in their own little version of heaven.

Well, that's all. Now I'm just hunting for R5-D4 and the Sandy.

I had to get to the office early today and couldn't make the 8 AM Target run, but while I was at work I saw a lot of you guys were finding Tatooine.  I stopped in there at 6 PM tonight and saw a Han from the Tatooine wave hanging on the pegs, no sign of any of the figures I wanted (Sandtrooper, Garindan, Hem Dazon, Hammerhead).  While I initially thought it to be, and intended to be internal monologue, I blurted out "This is _______ !!!" when I realized I missed my figures to be at work first thing in the morning.  Within moments I realized that I pretty much yelled it.  My first clue was the surprised look on the face of the customer standing to my left. Whoops!   :-X

At any rate, I wasn't giving up that easy.  I started scowering all of the adjacent aisles and endcaps for stragglers.  On an endcap an aisle over I saw 2 figures laying on top of some Superman crap.  Which?  Hammerhead and Sandtrooper.

Thank you very much!

Scored x4 The Hunt For Grievous BP today at my local TRU.
It was the stores' first shipment..they only got 1 case(x6) that I split with Darth Gamboa here. I power walked it and beat x5 scalpers to the treasure. I thought their bottom jaws were gonna hit the floor with envy when they saw me taking away their precious money chances with my haul ;D!

Darth Gamboa and myself done some 'intel' and knew the product was coming in this morning..it pays off to do the research when possible.  ;).

I'm sure the store will get further shipments..and larger but it's nice to have this set out of the way.

Good.

But the funny thing is, I really think that scalpers are making below minimum wage with their antics.  Star Wars figures are expensive right now.  It's hard to mark them up that much more than they are already.  Plus, the daily hunts these losers conduct must be a bitch in the wallet with the fuel costs these days.  I really think that for 99% of the two bit scalpers out there, it isn't even close to being worth their while.  And when they get stuck with some stuff that they can't sell, more gas to return them.  You'd have to move a very large amount of figures to make a decent buck off this stuff.

I maintain to this day that a scalper has never been able to prevent me from getting the figures I want in the quantity I want them, at retail.

I got "caught up" on Friday when I found a few Sandtroopers at Wal-Mart.  That was short lived though, as it sounds like the Endor wave might be starting to hit now?  Aside from that, I think I'm all caught up now - for the first time in a long time.  The Tatooine figures continue to sell really quickly here.  When I was at this WM on Friday (around 5) they had at least 2-3 of each of the figures in the whole wave.  I was back at the same store on Sunday morning, and they had one Han left.
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: ngrant on July 10, 2006, 11:57 AM
Finished both the Tatooine Wave and the Vintage series this past weekend.  Finally found Luke Skywalker and Tusken Raider, and the Lucas POP was just sent away half an hour ago.  On Saturday I popped over to the US Wal-Mart (I'm on the Canadian side) early at 7am and found nothing new... Just as I was about to leave I saw boxes waiting to be put out.  The guy working over at rec said that the toy "associate" wouldn't be there until the afternoon to put them out but just when I couldn't slip any lower he asked which box I wanted to see and then he opened it up and left me to my own devices.  Garindan, Han, Tatooine Luke, and my second Sandtrooper later the wave is complete.  Unlike the Sith line I'm opening all of these and not buying doubles (one to keep sealed and one to display).  What's the ETA on Endor?
Title: Re: TSC Recent Purchases
Post by: Dressel Rebel on July 10, 2006, 04:34 PM
I had to get to the office early today and couldn't make the 8 AM Target run, but while I was at work I saw a lot of you guys were finding Tatooine.  I stopped in there at 6 PM tonight and saw a Han from the Tatooine wave hanging on the pegs, no sign of any of the figures I wanted (Sandtrooper, Garindan, Hem Dazon, Hammerhead).  While I initially thought it to be, and intended to be internal monologue, I blurted out "This is _______ !!!" when I realized I missed my figures to be at work first thing in the morning.  Within moments I realized that I pretty much yelled it.  My first clue was the surprised look on the face of the customer standing to my left. Whoops!   :-X

At any rate, I wasn't giving up that easy.  I started scowering all of the adjacent aisles and endcaps for stragglers.  On an endcap an aisle over I saw 2 figures laying on top of some Superman crap.  Which?  Hammerhead and Sandtrooper.

Thank you very much!

 :D

Well, it's been 5 weeks since I posted this and found Tatooine.  Guess it is time for Endor after all.

I've noticed some kickass army builder repackaging going on in the line lately so I have been picking up, again, Utapau Clones, Firespeeder Pilots, and Sandtroopers out there...  Mostly at WM in my area.

Also the Epic Battles figures have some good army builders in there like Wookiee Warriors, blue Senate Guards, etc...  Expensive to army build at $7 each so I sort of am being picky but still there's some stuff I just can't pass up.

Tonight I got a Sandie, Utie Clone, and customizing fodder Scorch (this was, seriously, the first Commando Scorch I ever saw at retail...  That's how much of a bitch that was to find for me since I'm out there routinely and NEVER saw it till just tonight).  I got all 3, left several Utie's and Scorches on the pegs too...  Should've bought more Uties but I'll live.

Good army building times if you act on it.

Post by: spec_spidey on August 13, 2006, 06:34 PM
It was a Super Walmart, they are remodeling and resetting shelves. The new toy layout had no spot for the VOTC figures so I guess they decided to clearance them.  They had like 5 DSGs, 4 Jerjerrods, 1 Emperor, and 1 Chirpa from the latest wave. It seemed rather weird to me that the 1 army builder of this wave was the figure they had the most of besides Garindan and of course Major Bren Derlin.

I picked up the Dagobah X-Wing at TRU on Friday afternoon.  It really does look sweet in the box (and it is a heck of a big box).  I open pretty much everything, but I was half tempted to leave this in just due to the overall presentation.  I might try to use the cardboard bottom/backdrop included or something, because it does look kind of neat.

If you had to have it, you did the right thing by buying it when you saw it.  No guarantees you'd have found it on clearance.

I, on the other hand perhaps, did not have to have it.  I could take it or leave it, whatever.  For under a buck though, I'll take it.

I have never, and will never, pay Target $12.99 for a 3 3/4" figure.  Just ain't happenin'.

Check out TRU which hasn't put out new stock in about 2 months.  They had their $5.99 sale going on and actually had filled pegs with the Endor wave.  Bought 6 Death Star Gunners.

TRU only stocks their pegs a few times a year, so I had to take advantage.

Went to local Target last night, they ususally have lots of pegs for Star Wars at this Target-'bout 20 or so.  And they were full---full of  :-X I mean.  nothing but bugs 3 deep on each peg, and 2 Padme's.  Haven't found anything but GB's really at other locations.

It depends on the Walmart. Most of my local Walmarts have clearanced them out already, but then there are those that aren't so local that still have them at full price. Your best bet is to scan them every once in a while. They should clearance eventually.

I picked up the H&V Greivous variant, Shock Trooper, Green Clone Commander and a Saga2 Sandtrooper this morning at Target.

I left behind a couple of painted knee 3POs the other day in Fargo.  Oops. :-\

Only thing I bought was a removable helmet 501st and as I was removing it the leg popped off >:(  I managed to re-attach it, but the quality on that figure purely sucks, his legs are very, very loose. 

Question, is the helmet on the re-release shock trooper removable?

Not that I know of, but I personally don't have one I guess.  I actually saw a couple (for the first time) today at Target, and wanted to pick one up, but left it behind after finding the DSG earlier, as well as a couple SMC figures at Target.  I'm supposed to be tightening up the spending, so I didn't figure the wife would be thrilled with me coming home with a $6.99 figure that I already have four of :).  I might pick one up eventually if I get the chance though.  Anyways - I haven't heard of the helmet being removable, and I thought it was actually the same as the initial release (#6 sculpt) - but I could be mistaken.

Not really a purchase either but

These are purchases: Target Snowspeeder, c3po and yoda talking dash board mount guys, Kit fisto's SF, Unleashed Shocktrooper (only $3.25!)

What does a HW treasure hunt look like?  I wouldn't mind using this trick on them (the HW guys that is - the ones that beat me to the UGHs 80% of the time.)

I turned the corner on an empty Star Wars section in Target today to find myself, on October 3rd mind you, smack in the middle of the Christmas Department surrounded by Christmas lights and ornaments.

They put that **** out on Sep 1st now. I've seen it for the last few years, at least. :-[

I'm changing the name in this thread to acquisitions. I feel since myself and many others acquire our new Saga stuff through alternate means (trades, gifts from others ect) as well as purchases that purchases alone was not a good fit here. I was stupid to not realize it sooner ::)

I just ordered 2 rebel troopers, 1 at-at driver & 2 landos (needed the second to get over $25.  I had forgotten about a discount amazon had given me for the whole "Hunt For Grievous BP" trainwreck and my total came to $7.32!

Of course, on the same day I order the figures from Amazon (and too late to cancel), I found the whole Endor/Naboo wave at our local WM while picking up some groceries.  It works out fine, since I wanted a couple extras anyways, so I ended up picking up Endor Luke and an Endor Soldier (White).  I also picked up an extra VTSC Greedo for $4 and a Greatest Battles Shocktrooper.  They seemed to have the whole Endor/Naboo wave there though, aside from the Vader and Obi-Wan I saw a week or so back.  They must have just stocked the rest of the case or something.

Pod Racers, Luke and black Rebel Trooper came from Amazon today. Already got the black one from KB online, but I took my chances because Amazon pictured the white one on their site. I might pull the neck out and pop the bearded Saga trooper head on it, if I can find out for sure whether it'll fit, first. All I need from the wave is that white guy, now...

My KB toys is running a Buy 1 Get 1 1/2 off sale, and they've been stacking cases of an army builder assortment apparently that involves:

AT AT driver
DSG
Utapau clone
Ithorian
Sandtrooper
Scorch

I wasn't aware of this assortment till I came across this stuff at KB and hatched some cases open myself.  And the price is right.

Oddly enough, still no sign of Naboo/Endor, and that is highly unusual for me to wait this long as my area is usually top notch.  I expect to find them in the next few days.

Nice score!

My wife picked up the new GH Geonosis set and the purple clone BP for me at Target over the weekend.  Unfortunately, I have to to wait til X-mas to open them...

I am stoked that she found the Geo set - there are a lot of figures in there that I need.

According to her, there's only 1 each of four sets in the case - and being that no one wants anything to do with the other three, I'm glad she found it.

Then on to Walmart where I managed to get one Holographic Clone Commander Cody, one Clone Trooper Sergeant, two Clone Trooper (442nd Siege Battalion) and two Clone Trooper (Fifth Fleet Security). I wouldn't mind getting a few more Clone Troopers and maybe one more Sgt. but outside of that, I just want these six figures and I'll be done with 2006!  ;D

SAGA-059: R5-J2
SAGA-064: Clone Commander Appo

Went on a serious toy run this morning and hit up 2 WalMarts and 2 Targets:

Wally: 3 x Kitik Keedkak (gonna need a few Yam'rii to attack the bandana wearing, sniper rifle toting pre-cyborg Grievous when he comes out).

Permanently passed on the 4 other "Walmart 5".  Terrible figures the rest of them.

Target:  4 x Elite Corps clone, 2 x Appo, 2 x Combat Engineer, 1 x Felucia Betrayal

Also I noticed that there must be 30 of each anniversary tin at a Walmart, shouldn't be long before they hit clearance now.  KB has dropped them to $15.99

1x R4-K5
1x Holo Obi-Wan

Then, on Saturday we traveled across town to the "other" Wal-Mart, and I was able to score the exclusive wave there (which shows little signs of showing up at our local store, since we have a metric ton of Enboo figures):

1x R4-M6
1x Kitik Keed'Kak
1x Nabrun Leids and Kabe
1x Labria

Then, on Sunday morning we hit Target again while we were out and about and I picked up:

2x Elite Corps Clonetrooper

I'd like to get a couple more extras of the Elite Corps and Appo, if I can find them, but its nice to at least have one of each.  I was kind of surprised, but the only figures I didn't see anywhere this weekend were the Padme and Yareal Poof.

Is that the gray area I see in the center of the blue chest stripe 501st logo?  Some of mine have it.

No, it's the little stripes that go on either side of every trooper's helmet.

On the lower part there [Tac Ops pic for reference], that's sort of tubular. They're completely missing on the helmet's right side. EDIT: Apparently those are vents, not "stripes".

And, as I was going through and cataloging what I have for carded figures from this past year, I discovered I had two Utapau Clones. So now I have another one of those to open.  ;D

I'm thinking I should try fleshing out my other Clone groups...  I wanted 10 or 12 of the 5th Fleet, 10 or 12 of the Engineers, 10 or 12 of the Siege Batallion...  I'm nowhere near that on any of those groups though.

Appo's are like gold out here, and disappear fast.

41st's are a little easier to come by, but I have a whopping 6, which I would've liked to have come to 10 or 12 of those and BS'd them as an OT spec. forces unit.  Seems unlikely though with TAC stuff surfacing now unless WM still has a lot in the pipeline.

I've found only 3 Appo's so far but 2 were last night, and picked up 4 more 41st Elite Troopers too.  My nearby WM put out a TON of figures including all of the final 22, some in bulk, so I stocked up on what I could.  Got an Appo for the boy and another for me.  Someone had seemingly gotten to all the Appo's already though for the most part. 

I have a feeling I'll see Appo's in a couple weeks at the Pittsburgh toy Show.  ;D

Not yet. For the moment, I just remove the paldron and use the figure as a SA 501st Trooper. It's not perfect as is but it will do till Hasbro brings out a real SA 501st Trooper. ;)

The Appo/Elite Corps clone wave is really starting to hit here, both Target and Walmart.  I'm to the point now where I have 20 of each and am starting to pass on both.  I never thought these would hit in the quantity where I'd start leaving them on the pegs, but that officially ends the theory that nobody will be able to find these because 30 AC is coming.

I was given 3 Clones as an early "Easter" gift tonight. :)  Gotta love mom and the random gifts.

I got a 41st, an E2 Sergeant, and a Combat Engineer.  I must say, I know some guys didn't dig the eu repaints but that Combat Engineer is a pretty neat figure when you look at it...  SA, removable helmet, plus he's got the pouches on his bicep like he's got extra gear for demolitions and stuff.  I love that figure.  I gave some of mine some "gear" I have around and they look cool running alongside other Clones to do some damage to obstacles or whatnot.

I'm sorta surprised at how slow the Sergeant sold by the way...  I can't speak for everyone of course but my area I've seen him rather frequently, and given he's an SA E2 Clone in a color that wasn't terribly common...  I figured he'd have sold well.  Great figure to have a lot of too since Sergeants of course would, theoretically, be common sights.

Me too, considering the green striped seargent heads up squads of 9 clones, 8 white grunts and 1 green seargent to every squad.  The blue lieutenant I would expect to sit a little more, being that he's only 1:36 with the other clone, 1 to a platoon (4 squads).

What an excellent gift. I can't wait to find me a couple Combat engineers, they look great!  8)

As for the E2 Clone, I thought he'd be far more rare but I've seen him ten times and counting. I even saw him at Walgreen's! But, good for me, he's a great fig for my upcoming photonovel, especially because he is the main component of one of the main characters.  ;D

Picked up a couple of $5 Felucia BP's at Target today....  Not such a bad deal.

Scored a couple of these as well.  If we have full price ones, can we still return those and then re-purchase them at clearance?  Anyone had any luck getting the Target folks to just credit you the difference and let you keep it?

The Target around here stick to the 14 day price adjustment rule, so we're out of luck. Might work in more rural area's though.

I know I said I'm done with Saga, but did some inventory/custom experiments and discovered I can use more Jerjerrods and Veers' to make non-rank insignia officers and various ranked officers. So I picked up three more Jererrods and two more Veers yesterday. Will need to pick up a bunch more.

Here's the work around.  You can buy whatever they have on the pegs on sale at $6, then take the bag straight to the service desk and return them using your old receipts.  I found a receipt for 16 Saga figs in late Feb, so I bought 16 today at $5.96 and immediately returned them for $6.64 each. Not a huge money saver, but I got about $12 back after taxes.

Used my $12 for two "Free" Death Star Gunners...not a bad deal.

Another big thanks to Bikerscout for the tip on another group of Jerjerrods. Picked up 5 more yesterday. 3 more to go with one on the way and the other two pending.

Last night I purchased four loose Elite Clone Troopers and a sealed Mace Windu's Attack Battallion Battle Pack from one of the nice ladies I met over on another board and the cool thing is she only charged me Twenty Dollars for the lot. :)

I finally found the WalMart wave at the Livermore WalMart yesterday, or at least the remnants of it. I picked the Kabe/Nabrun 2-pack and, of course, Kitik, in memory of my late pet mantis. There was a nice selection of good Final 22 stuff, and lots of army builders of previous waves there. Anyone in the area may want to check it out.  8)

I decided this weekend that I'd do my part to help clean out the last of the Saga figures by buying any AT-AT drivers, Death Star Gunners, Clone Techs, or EII Greenies that I run into.

Which means I bought a Tech, and two Gunners this weekend.

I'm gonna wind up probably putting stuff like that on a wants list at some point.  $$$'s too tight for me to go nuts with Saga extras right now but man I'd love more of it.  Just way too many good army builders to deal with at retail right now!  :o  Between Saga and 30AC, it's overload.

Target had all the Saga2 army builders and droids I couldve ever wanted today. Pegs were full. Unfortunately, I have very little money right now so I could only get Appo and Vaders droid. I wouldve bought more if I had the money.

yesterday I bought the vtsc Han Solo in Trench coat (rotj) original release. I always try to buy the first version of a figure and avoid repacks, cause they omit some paint applications frequently on the reissue.

5 years after the launch of this figure, seems to be a durable interpretation of the character.

Steel City Con...  Picked up two more Death Star Gunners.  :)  This guy's gone up in value it seems, so getting two for less than $5 each was a deal IMO.

Also got 3 loose Mace Windu Legion Troopers...  Part of a much cooler deal, and appreciated in their own right since he's not the most common trooper army builder, and Mace looks badass with a squad behind him.

The DS gunner in the TSC line was one of my favs in both presentation and design. Throwing it, or the Imperial Engineer (http://www.yakfaceforums.com/TGuide2004/ActionFigures/TLC/BD22/lf16.html) from the Legacy line, on a Vintage card would have been the cat's ass.

The Death Star Gunner, to this day, marks my "minimum" level of quality to make a truly nice figure.

He has:

-Lots of gear...  basically two or three ways to display him, which is great.

-A great working holster...  Maybe the best Imperial holster ever done on a soldier of the Empire.  It holds the E11 blaster perfectly, and hides it.  Why can't Sandtroopers and the like have these?

-The minimum articulation count and sculpt/pose....  He's a model for future figures, and a model that Super Articulation isn't necessary to make a pretty darn poseable figure.

He has the minimum points...  He has elbow joints that allow him a neutral pose, but also allow him to look natrual with a blaster in two hands, or like he's working on something like a computer screen or other gadget.  He has ball jointed knees for sitting.  He has ball jointed neck and a regular waist joint.  He has wrist joints.

What's really key is he has no ankle joints, but his feet are sculpted nice, flat, and neutral.  He's able to be posed walking or "lunging", or moving while crouching.  He doesn't need the ankles for any of it.

Some will cry foul on the elbow joints being angle-cuts, but angle-cuts work...  They really do.  Not always though.  It depends on how sharp they are or not.  If they're done like the Death Star Gunner though, they're perfect IMO. 

Ball joints are better, but if the line saw a price drop by a couple bucks, I'd be ok seeing some second or third tier guys cut down to this level of articulation.  Cantina aliens?  I'd be happy to see them like this.

That new Snaggletooth is great, but did he really NEED all that articulation?  If that set was $20 I would've done happily with angle-cut elbow joints and no ankles on the new Snaggletooth.

Picked up Yarell Poof and Hammerhead for $3 each at a garage sale...MOC. (And R1-G4 from 2002?)

They had Han with carbonite, too...maybe someone else...Poggle! Why didn't I buy them? Foolish...also, going too long without eating affects my judgement.

I went back the next day got Poggle, Han was gone, baby, gone.

Also got Mas Amedda (POTJ), K-3PO (POTJ) and Pit Droids (30th annivesary/legends) that Celebration Amidala (OTC/post transitional whatever)
