Title: 30AC Pegwarmers?

Yep, nothing to be found in stores now except Obi.  He ain't moving folks, so be prepared. :P

Actually, we've got more R2's than Obi-Wan's on the pegs (and nothing else).  Again, Canadian locale.

Yes, R2 was the second last to go, preceded by the Lava miner.  Sorry speedermike, just poking fun.  But it's still information that's useful.  If someone can't afford them all in one shot, that's likely the three to remain on the pegs.  Go figure, troopers sold first. ;)

Good to know who to pounce on first if the budget's tight...  Though it wasn't rocket science that the SBD and Clone would be in there...  At least first waves usually are easier finds.

Nah... let the Canadians have their fun. While they're having Obi-Wan's pegwarming (while we don't see them), they haven't gotten the last of the TSC waves. Hopefully they're getting help from us friends south of the border.

rebel honor guard, yavin solo, obi, R2, umpass, academy biggs, and both lukes will totally warm.

over in SJ since the basic figs arent out yet the only TAC thing shelfwarming is the episode 6 tin set, as I predicted.

All VTAC

Rebel Honor Trooper



I gotta disagree with Quack and Artoo, I don't think the Rebel Honor Guard will be anywhere near pegwarmer status.

I guess that all depends what your definition of "pegwarmer" is.  I think you have to have 4 or more of the same figure on the peg for 2 weeks before a figure attains that classification.

Recent pegwarmers:

Bib Fortuna
Poggle the Lesser
General Riekkan
Bren Derlin
Jerjerrod
3P0 ewok chair

I mean, those are really the dregs.

Personally, I don't plan on leaving many Rebel Honor Guards behind.  That's a great lookin' figure with army builder potential.

Also, to say "all VTAC," nuh uh think again.  That snowtrooper won't be considered a "pegwarmer" by any definition, even the most lenient.

I saw 1 or 2 sit on the pegs for maybe a week as opposed to 20 of other figures that was sitting there.

What's your definition of a pegwarmer?  Are you suggesting that the VTSC scout is on par with Jerjerrod?

I disagree. The Scout was hard to find on our pegs in the Twin Citites.

the only time the scout peg warmed was when they first came out in my area. and thats only because nobody knew they were out yet. :-\  But i disagree with the rebel and the lukes and the vintage figures warming. the snowtrooper and luke will be hard finds for sure.
Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: Daigo-Bah on February 19, 2007, 12:27 AM
I can see VTAC Bossk warming for a while, and possibly the Endor Leia.  That won't stop me from buying 1 Bossk and 3 Leias for dioramas though  ;D

Post by: Darth_Anton on February 19, 2007, 11:45 AM
I completely agree with Dressel. On the snowtrooper and Rebel Honor guard thing. I know that I will be buying multiples of each, and if I'm buying multiples, lots of others are as well.

UK update.

I visited two TRU today and both Obi and Mace were warming the pegs, no sign of a Galactic marine anywhere.
Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: David on March 9, 2007, 11:37 PM
TSC warmers:

Jerjerod
3PO w/chair
TPM ObiWan
Naboo Soldier
Rieekan
Boushh Leia

and LUSHROS, LUSHROS, LUSHROS!!!

as for TAC, only vehicles and BPs have surfaced around SJ. BPs are all illum and vehicles are actually all white TIEs (lucky for me when i hav some extra money).  :)

yesterday my dad and i went to target. we saw the last hailfire droid, but my cool dad snatched it from me! the two of us are such battlefront addicts, and that has made dad more of an SW fan (used to be a big trekkie).  8)

TAC has been out for a less than a week and Obi-Wan and R2 are already peg warming. :P
Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: Jesse James on March 10, 2007, 02:18 AM
That's been my experience...  Obi starts sitting first, R2 a close second...  I think his interaction with the SBD helps him slightly, but once that novelty wears off with people he definitely starts sitting. 

The Clones, even at 2 per case, go immediately as does the McTrooper...  The SBDis a great figure and obviously it too goes.  The Lava Miner and Mace have been somewhat scarce here too, at 1 per case.  Good figures in general too.  The Lava Miner seems "substantial" in the package.  Definitely looks like a value though his poseability is supsect.  :-\

Same in the UK - except that everything has been selling out eventully. Maybe they got the stock levels right or maybe people are buying for the coins but at the mment stuff is selling out.

The lava miner is apparently SA, judging from the pics ive seen at that otheR Site.

He looks cool to me from seeing those pics, and I'm excited to pick him up.  ;D

Sadly I have seen zero TAC yet, and it sucks to hear that when I do itll be all obi wans.  >:(

I don't think any figure being on the pegs for just 1 week constitutes pegwarming.

Granted, they're probably heading there.  But why don't we give it a weekend of Mom and Dad wheeling little Timmy down the aisle in the shopping cart to see if the kidlets start demanding these.

But when they do, just make sure your 18 is where it belongs, and not in hand  ;)

I don't consider a figure to be a pegwarmer for at least 6 months after it's release.  Having a figure on a shelf for 4 weeks to 6 months is just good availability.

Believe me, when figures hit here in my area, everybody starts hitting the stores and to have a brand new figure sit for more than a day, let alone several, it's pretty unusual.

Around here nothing peg-warms at first.  But a few weeks from now, most of this first wave will be sitting around.  Nothing says pegwarmer like a bunch of Artoos and Super Battle Droids.

I never had a huge problem with the old SBD's.  Mine didn't fall over...  compared to the regular BD's.

The new SBD stands ok though, but with R2 on his shoulders I'm not so sure on that Rob.  It'd be a tough one.  Lot of weight on some thin legs.

I have ran across Mace,Obi,R2 from TAC, the R2 is "tempting" but not on my list of "must haves"  forgett Obi and Mace same reapcked figures from TSC and ROTS. There are to many "new" things coming out this year to waste my money on re paints and re packs. I bought ever single figure from the last two lines not this year.

Yes. Mine's been standing for over 5 minutes. You have to position the legs in a certain stance due to the sculpt, but it CAN stand.

Post by: Jesse James on March 16, 2007, 04:25 AM
BTW, I mentioned putting the R2 on the SBD's shoulders...  It DOES fit.  Weird, but true.  And it can hold it, but I think the weight and stuff will topple the SBD eventually.  It obviously is made to be over the torso though, not over the shoulders...  It just can go over the shoulders.

Post by: Since1978 on March 16, 2007, 03:19 PM
My concern lies with Obi-Wan and R2 - with them both being packed two per case, and from what I've seen in terms of leftovers so far, those are almost always what's left.  While the new Obi-Wan has some redeeming qualities, we've had too many of them in the last year. Fortunately, it's only the first wave, we'll see how they do in the initial wave of popularity for the 30AC.

Should have included another McQuarrie Trooper and one or the other of the clones (probably the Marine) - I think even the SBD will cool off in the short term.

The proper ratios you speak of take over with the Wave 1 revision wave.  At the end of this month the shipments should switch over to:

2x Galactic Marine
1x R2-D2
2x Mustafarian Lava Miner
1x Obi-Wan Kenobi
2x Utapau Airborne Trooper
1x McQuarrie Concept Stormtrooper
1x Mace Windu
2x Super Battle Droid.

Well, now I've read both extremes.  Of course, I've just found this topic and started from the back.  I would't go to this extreme, but 1-2 weeks does not a pegwarmer make.  I've yet to see any figures in my area (St. Louis), though I know several have... I've just been two steps behind so far.  But eventually, I bet Obi & R2 will pegwarm here.   But I like that "good availability" phrase.  Maybe having figures on a shelf 2-4 weeks is good availability and depending on how many of each figure is on the peg.

I hate DS Trooper but even I know it'll go very quickly with fans that don't hate this sculpt and have been 'quality blinded' if you will simply by the long wait for a redone version. I actually think the POTF2 version is better, and thats just sad. But a lot of people probably disagree with me, so yeah, it'll go fast.

You are most certainly entitled to your perspective.  But I really want to understand this so I gotta know how you can justify this statement.  Particularly in terms of sculpt, likeness, and articulation.

Post by: David on March 19, 2007, 11:11 PM
I dunno, just my opinion. I see this figure as Moff Jerjerrod with slightly better arm articulation, a new head, and a helmet that doesn't fit. It just doesn't grab me at all from the pictures! My opinion is out, and I aint changing my mind unless I see it in person and love it which is unlikely.

And don't even get me started on that Rebel Honor Guard.  :P
Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: Darth_Anton on March 19, 2007, 11:22 PM
I kind of think that Greco is not entirely wrong. I wouldn't go as far to say the new DS Trooper is awful, but one can argue that it's not the most solid sculpt.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm buying lots and it's far and away better than the POTF2 version. But, you can hardly blame anyone for not being in love with it.
Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: Brian on April 5, 2007, 04:19 PM
We've just started to get more TAC in our area (aside from WM that is), but from what I can see at our Target and TRU, it looks like Obi-Wan and R2 are definitely the pegwarmers.  Obi-Wan in particular is sitting in good numbers, and doesn't really seem to be moving.  Its not a bad figure either, but I think we've seen so much of ROTS Obi (even the well done Pilot version) over the past couple years that everyone has their fill at this point - collectors and kids alike.  I've seen R2s a lot as well, and to a lesser extent, Mace Windu.  I wouldn't call Windu a pegwarmer though.  Other than that, it seems like this wave is selling through pretty well.  Still no sign of the McQuarrie trooper at all, of course.
Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: Phrubruh on April 10, 2007, 07:44 PM
I would say Mace is definately a big peg warmer. Not as big as Obiwan and R2 but still very significant in my area. Most stores only have these three figures.
Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: Jesse James on April 10, 2007, 09:15 PM
That's been my experience.  Obi takes the cake, R2 next, Mace 3rd, then I'd say a tie between SBD's and Lava Miners.  Still two tougher figures to find usually though.  Marines and Airborne are just luck into them if you see them and don't pass them up (at the moment) if you want them. 

Wave 2's non-existant.  I heard one report of them showing up here, maybe two, and never seen any of them in person myself yet.
Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: David on April 10, 2007, 10:17 PM
I went to Target today, and finally found the Order 66 2Packs.

There were:
x10 Obi-Wan
x5 R2-D2
and a bashed up, destroyed McTrooper.  :P

As for Wave 2, I have hardly seen it yet and currently own Biggs and Concept Fett, but my family has been telling me of many Hans and Lukes, which is what I figured would happen.

When I saw the two-packs, they were at an endcap by the registers.

There were:
x2 Palpy/Thire with some icky substance all over them
x1 Mace Windu/Gal. Marine in perfect shape. (I grabbed it!!!)

Im very happy with this 2Pack its certainly up there among the six. You know, ROTS Mace actually is a very decent likeness of Samuel L. when you think about it, one of the best around. The sculpt is whats wrong with him, and the sculpt has a negative impact on the articulation. The Marine's pretty neat though. Its a sharp set. Nowhere near Vader/Bow, though, Vader/Bow's the BEST!!!  8)

But cool nonetheless...  :)
Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: Brian on April 11, 2007, 09:07 AM
The pegwarmers are definitely similar around here - with Obi-Wan far and away first, R2 closely behind, and then Mace.  The others are really hit and miss.  I've seen all of them (except for the McTrooper) on the pegs at some point, but they seem to sell pretty quickly.  No signs of Wave 2 around here just yet, but judging by what sells/doesn't sell at HasbroToyShop, I'm going to guess Han will be the biggest pegwarmer of Wave 2, followed by Luke and Biggs.  You never know though, but those three have been in stock since last week when they first popped up over there.  The other three (Fett, DST, Rebel Honor Guard) have been sold out whenever I have checked.
Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: Brian on April 16, 2007, 10:10 AM
We had a little time to kill at Target this weekend, so while checking out the TAC pegs, I arranged the figures by character.  There was over 1 full peg each of Obi-Wan and R2, 2 Mace Windus, and 1 SBD.  Obi and R2 are really starting to warm around here.  They are the only two figures on the pegs at TRU here as well (aside from 7 Jerjerrods from TSC), and Wal-Mart still hasn't seen a sniff of the TAC figures.

I attempted to do that at our TRU a couple of times, putting all 7 Jerjerrods on one peg, leaving 6 or 7 other pegs empty - but somehow when I would come back a week or so later, they would be spread out again :).

I do that too, at  TRU one time, I put each of the 6 Jerrords on their own peg. Now I arange all the TAC figs together and Saga figs together, usually putting similat charactres on the same peg and putting the onesie twosies of a figure at the front of the peg. I used to work at TRU 20 some years ago during the Ghostbuster, original TMNT etc days.

Yeah, arranging figures is a good way to console oneself when finding out there's only pegwarmers about, and nothing new.  I always put characters on their own pegs too, but I guess the stocking idea is to spread them out over the whole area to give the appearance of large stock.

Anyway, I wish we'd get some TAC 2 out here pegwarming - still nothing.

Well, it seems early indications are that when Wave 2 hits well enough to peg warm, the winners are going to be Han and Luke.
Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: Brian on April 17, 2007, 10:28 AM
Yeah, I think you're probably right on that.  Han is going to pegwarm for sure the way it looks.  He is the only figure that has remained "in stock" at HTS.com since that wave first went online a couple of weeks ago.  I think the rest of the wave is out of stock, or at least has been at some point.  As a fan of Han, it kind of saddens me that he is so frequently a pegwarmer - but maybe it has something to do with the same type of ANH Han look that we've seen so many times in the commtech version.

I totally agree with Jesse and Paul on the wave 1 warmers-especially in Jesse's order too. As far as the Target 66 packs go, the most I see is the Palps/Shock Commander set. Oddly enough, the least I see of those is both types of 501 packs..Vader or Annakin types. I thought the worst looking trooper- the Kashyyk one with Yoda- I see few of as well.

Oh I'm seeing wave two just fine, but none of the army builders. Okay a scant Death Star trooper here and there, but rarely a Rebel Honor Guard. Lukes and Han are abundant. Still seeing a bit of wave one on the pegs, but again, not much for the army builders. Not too many Airborne troopers, and hardly any Galactic Marines.

Thankfully there really is only the one AB in wv3, the Stormtrooper. But you just KNOW he's going to be impossible to find. Thankfully though, all the ones I mentioned that are HTF now are going to get easier to find, as they are being packed in later cases along with the new waves.

Really? Can you help me out with the Rebel Honor Guard then? (Ask Jesse about me if you need to, I've known him for awhile on our local boards-that crashed about a month ago.) In fact he and I have a pending deal for next weekend.

Suffice to say I can be trusted. I'm a mod on another collecting site. So I won't stake my rep on making a bad deal.

Post by: Brian on June 1, 2007, 04:28 PM
Although I still see some of the Wave 1 warmers from time to time, the majority of the pegwarmers here now are Wave 2 Han, Luke, and Biggs.  Wal-Mart still hasn't stocked a single TAC figure (aside from the album), TRU now has tons of Wave 2 on the pegs (mainly the three mentioned), and Target is much the same.  I occasionally see a Rebel Honor Guard, and I actually saw 8 Fetts at one point at TRU (gone the next day).  Other than that, its pretty much been Han, Luke, and Pilot Biggs warming the pegs - in that order (most to least).

Biggs pilot


Stick more than a few days at a clip:

DST
RHG
Galactic Marine (due to repacking w/ Wave 3)
Airborne clone (due to repacking w/ Wave 3)
Vader w/ Obi Wan cloak
Vintage Leia
Vintage Han
Vintage Luke
Vintage Bossk
Vintage IG-88

 
You're lucky if you walk into TRU, Walmart, Target or KB and see:

McQuarrie Stormtrooper
McQuarrie Fett
Super Battle Droid
R2-D2
Jawa w/ LIN
Stormtrooper removable helmet
Biggs Academy
McQuarrie Chewie
Luke w/ Vaporator
Vintage Snowtrooper

The figures in the last category will be moving into the 2nd category in 2 weeks time, except R2 and SBD.

Also I'm seeing a lot of the Appo wave, including Appo himself and the Elite Corps clone.  Here we are in June and about 15 cases of the Saga stuff have been put out between 2 Targets, 2 Walmarts and a TRU in the past week.

TAC Figs:
Han Solo (Gunner)
Ceremonial Luke Skywalker
Mace Windu
Oddly, there were no Obis or R2s there, but Im sure they'll show up again.  ::)

Comic Packs:
Pink and green RFT and Darth Vader are back!!! The one crappy two-pack of the series.
both Stormtrooper Disguise packs (I thought sure theyd go quicker)
Villie/Vos??? Very weird.
Obi/Alpha and Tarkin/Stormie are both gone super quickly here but I managed to get openers of each.

Vintage:
Hoth Han Solos and Leias have sat for days now, which is weird because they are easily two of the three best figures of the wave.

Oddly enough I have not seen any TAC warming nowadays.  However, I can find a Ceremony Luke fairly regularly and of course Kenobi but not more than say 6 hanging on the pegs at a time.  That's been about it among the 6 stores I seem to frequent on a regular basis.  They basically hit and get snagged in days.  I finally saw a Galactic Trooper stay on the pegs for over 1 week.

Thanks DA, I got it and replied.


Pegging in my area:
Tons of saga stuff-to much to mention
TAC:
wv1-Obi, Mc, R2, Vader w/coin
wv2-Luke, Han, sometimes

wv3 is just hitting in my area, so I don't expect too many pegwarmers at first, but I'll guess that Vader, Biggs and the Jawa will peg, then Luke. The Stormtrooper will not peg in my area. There are too many army builders (myself included) who will snatch them up.

Post by: Brian on June 11, 2007, 09:50 AM
I have to say, I haven't seen a lot of pegwarming for the TAC lately here either.  Sure, I could probably find a Han/Luke from Wave 2 pretty easily, but even those seem to be selling through slowly.  I've started to see a few more Rebel Honor Guards as well.  Surprisingly, I think Obi-Wan and R2 have dried up, and the only Wave 1 figures I've seen recently are Mace and the two clones.  It looks like Vader might hang around a little longer from Wave 3 (and possibly Biggs), but I haven't seen much of that wave yet.  The VTSC doesn't seem quite as plentiful here (yet) as many of you have seen.  I think there is about 8 figures at our local Wal-Mart now, and three or so at Target.  I haven't been to TRU recently, but they didn't have them the last time I was there.

Of the figs from wave three I think we'll see Vader pegwarm. The stand is cool, but I just don't see the average person going crazy over it just because of the new stand(obi robe). Next I see Biggs and Luke. Sure at first Biggs will sell, due to the novelty of having a cut scene fig. But again the average person doesn't even know who this guy is, or if they did only as an X-wing pilot and not the cut scene outfit. Luke has a strong point in the vaporator, and that will be his only saving grace for a little while. The figure itself is not that great.

I do agree that the Jawa is going to be harder than the previous three. It's been awhile since we've had Jawas. Let alone a great Jawa fig like this. Toss in a new never before made droid and I see every reason for people wanting this figure. Army build it? Hmm, maybe. I'm planning on getting 4-5 myself, so yeah I guess you can say army build. But for m I'm going to customize the paint apps on the extra. I won't really need the extra LIN droids. (So they will be available for trade/sale later as I get them).

The Stormtrooper shouldn't peg, however I've seen several people on various SW collecting boards go either way on this. Mostly due to the helmet. All I can say is good...heh heh. More for me and the others out there who WANT the figure. I don't think the helmet issue is all that bad and I can easily overlook any shortcomings of it.

McChewie of course is the gem in this wave. I don't expect him to peg at all. If you see him, get him.
Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: Brian on June 14, 2007, 09:20 AM
Its been kind of strange around here.  Looking at the stores, WM is still out of the picture - they still have only the old TSC pegwarmers from the Enboo and Greatest Battles waves.  Last time I was at TRU they were pretty well stocked with Wave 2, but pretty much just Luke and Han.  At Target, at one point there was just gobs of Obi-Wan and R2, and now those are all gone.  Then there was gobs of Han and Luke (Wave 2), and now those are all gone.  When I stopped in yesterday, all they had on the pegs were 2x Mace Windu, and 5x Galactic Marine, along with older TSC figures that they've had for awhile.  I guess it shows that things - even pegwarmers - seem to be selling eventually.
Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: David on June 14, 2007, 11:33 AM
Obi-Wan and R2 seem to have sold through pretty well around here, too.  They lingered at first, but not anymore.  But I've noticed that some of the wave 3 Vaders are hanging around for a little while.

And here in SJ, which I think is very strange because they both suck.  ;D

The pegwarmers here now seem to vary at different Targets. At all TRUs and the Target closest to my house, its all Ceremonial Lukes, Gunner Hans, Vaders, and the occassional dozen Mace Windus. At another Target a few miles away a couple weeks ago, I was surprised to find a ton of DSTs and RHGs. And at the other Target it is nothing but an Obi every other full moon and a trillion Saga2 figures (Threepio, Jellyjar, and Power Droids).

Title: Re: 30AC pegwarmers
Post by: Brian on June 25, 2007, 03:27 PM
It seems like the pegwarmers are really specific to the individual stores around here.  For example, here's how things looked the last time I visited the "Big 3":

Wal-Mart - No TAC, same TSC pegwarmers (Enboo, H&V, and now a few of the "Final 22") Comic packs of Vader/RFT, Tarkin/Stormtrooper, and Vos/Grahrk.  A handful of VTAC left (just laying on a back shelf, away from the rest of the section.  I think there is 3 Leias, 2 Hans, a Luke and a Bossk.

Target - TAC Mace Windu and Galactic Marine are the only TAC figures there for the past couple weeks.  Every once in awhile I'll see and Airborne Trooper or a Wave 3 Vader.  There's still a few TSC figures, mainly Enboo stuff, but not as much.  Pretty good supply of the Wave 2 comic packs, but ARC/Obi sells out.  VTAC figures in decent supply, but Snowtrooper and IG-88 disappear quickly.

TRU - TAC Luke, Han, and Biggs in good supply.  There's also a few Rebel Honor Guards.  A handful of TSC figures here too, mostly Jerjerrods.  Some comic packs, mainly Vader/RFT and Vos/Grahrk.  VTAC - again, everyone but Snowtrooper and IG-88.

Wave 3 has been slim to none in our area.  I've seen Vader a few times, Biggs twice, and I picked up one Stormtrooper as I happened to be at Target as it opened on a Saturday morning.  Otherwise nothing else.  Wal-mart will be lucky to get rid of those TSC figures by Christmas, unless they finally clearance them out.  TRU has been more consistent than usual this year, although they do have a lot of Han/Luke/Biggs on the pegs right now.  We'll see.  I just hope we see more Wave 3 showing up.  I'd like to get some extras of the Stormtrooper, Jawa, and one more McQuarrie Chewie to keep carded.

I think the biggest pegwarmer around here now is the Galactic Marine, which I wouldn't have guessed at the beginning of the year.  There are others that hang about quite a bit (Vader, Mace, Han, Biggs, and sometimes Luke).  Actually, the Stormtrooper is a fairly easy find lately here as well.

Post by: Jesse James on September 14, 2007, 02:54 PM
For a while, all that shipped was wave 1, and wave 1 revisions...  I'm not shocked at the pegwarmer status of AB's and Marines now.  They're right there with all the other wave 1 figures.

Wave 2 and 3 around me are fairly scarce.  DST's are wildly abundant of course, but Honor Guard's are  downright rare.  Stormtroopers are here and there, but really not much is sitting.  I see really only the odd Han from Wave 2 other than those DST's and not a whole lot else...  Wave 3's uncommon, wave 4 and 5 are non-existant practically.

1) Biggs Darklighter (Tosche Station)--Terrible pegwarmer, in my area he's as bad as Lushros was last year.
2) Leia in Boushh Disguise--Both the TSC and Saga Legends versions! Yikes!
3) Darth Vader--I knew the Saga Legends version would warm pegs, especially when it's out at the same time as the SA Vader w/cloak base in Wave 3.
4) Obi-Wan Kenobi (Red Leader Pilot)--Not too bad yet but he's certainly getting there, this sculpt has just been released too many times over the past three years, everyone has it!
5) General Rieekan--This is the worst TSC pegwarmer around here, at any given store there's at least ten.

As for comic packs, it's pretty much either Vos/Villie or Luke/Artoo. All the others are still moving pretty fast, but are still easily acquired.

Same around here which leads me to think of the question, who are the most unexpected peg warmers? I'm pleased, but shocked and a little annoyed that armybuilders are peg warming finally. They're actually beginning to clog the pegs and prevent new waves from being stocked well.

Frankly, I'm shocked at the pegwarmers around the Mpls area.  There are a few Obi-Wans, R2s, and Bens, which is to be expected.  Vader is always available - not a surprise since there's 2 versions of him shipping between TAC and Legends.  But I'm surprised to always see Galactic Marine, Airborne Trooper, Stormtrooper, and DS Trooper.  People always complain that there aren't enough army builders, but when Hasbro makes them, no one is buying them up.  I have 30+ DS Troopers at this point and I STILL see them all over the place.   :-\

I stopped at WM this weekend to check for the new comic packs, and its amazing to me to see the basic pegs filled almost exclusively with Biker Scouts.  There are still a couple pegs full of older TSC figures, but the "new" stuff they have is almost all Legends, and almost all Biker Scouts.  I've seen them around at Target and TRU a fair amount as well, but I never thought I'd see the point where the most common basic figure in town right now is a super-articulated Imperial troop.  I'm always tempted to pick another one up when I'm out, as its one of my favorite figures.
Title: Re: 30AC Pegwarmers?
Post by: JACKOFTRADZE on January 14, 2008, 12:18 PM
I have been seeing a similar trend but not just Scouts it's pretty much all SL wave 1 at WM & Target. I have yet to see wave 5 at retail and anything past wave 6 is very scarce. Wal-Mart does seems to have a lot of Scouts more than the others. It's a great figure but I would like to see more of the other waves now....

Oh yeah.  I think I could go out right now, hit 2 Walmarts, 2 Targets, TRU and KB, and come back with about 75 scouts.

Most abundant figure on the pegs at this moment.

Post by: JediJman on January 20, 2008, 04:20 PM
I'm never dissapointed to see troopers lining the pegs.  The fact that you can probably find a stormtrooper, DS Trooper, or Biker Scout at every other store right now says that they've done a great job with assortments this last year.  I'd bet more troopers are bought than anything else out of these lines because everyone wants at least one and a lot of us get multiples.  I'd also bet that they could cook through any current stock of troopers in no time with an itial clearance markdown - not always the case on more of the character driven figs.

For pegwarmers around the twin cities, plan on seeing pretty much any Wave 4 or any Wave 6 figs outside of the McSnowtroopers.  :P

all the figures are selling out fine in my area except at places like TRU. Although I did notice that the WM closest to my house is still sitting on about 15 marines with a couple of biggs and a mcchewe mixed in their.

Post by: Brian on January 22, 2008, 10:44 AM
Stopped by TRU yesterday and all they have on their pegs for the most part are the two Cantina aliens (Elis and Onith), and a couple Legends figures here and there (oh, and TSC Jerjerrods).  I'm not really looking for anything now until the 2008 stuff shows up, aside from possibly the Keller/Marine pack at WM and maybe the Vanguard Trooper - sadly, just so I can complete my coin album ::).

The Wal-Marts around here are stuffed to the gills with Stormtroopers, SBD's, 3PO's & DST's.  But the figure I spot the MOST at stores (Wal-Mart, Target, etc.) is Jedi Luke (hands down). 
Title: Re: 30AC Pegwarmers?
Post by: CHEWIE on January 22, 2008, 11:57 AM
Hmmm... it varies from retailer to retailer in my area.

Wal-Mart - Mostly Galactic Marines, AOTC and ROTS Legends Clones, and Tatooine Biggs

Target - Mostly Lando, Death Star Trooper, and tons of Legends figures

TRU - Just a few Wave 4 remnants
Title: Re: 30AC Pegwarmers?
Post by: Pete_Fett on January 22, 2008, 03:38 PM
Well, based on my runs this morning, I would consider the following peg-warmers:

TAC
Stormtrooper
M'iiyoom Onith
Elis Helrot
Fireside Gown Padme
Vooolvif Monn

Saga Legends
AOTC Clone Trooper
Leia Boussh

Those are the figures I see the most of. WalMart has most of the troopers. The Wave 4 and Wave 8 peg warmers are at the TRU I frequent. One Target I go to is pretty bogged down with AOTC Clones, whereas the other one moves stock pretty briskly.

There are other figures I spot here and there, but nothing in enough quantities for me to consider them a peg-warmer.

Title: Re: 30AC Pegwarmers?
Post by: David on March 31, 2008, 06:57 PM
Thought I'd bump this back up to see what the pegwarming trends have been like lately. In my area I've been seeing these guys the most:

TAC:
Biggs Darklighter (Tosche Station)
Padme Amidala
and the occassional Stormtrooper

Saga Legends:
Imperial Officer (all versions)
Battle Droids (lightsaber sliced)

And a single Jedi Evolutions set that's been sitting there forever.


Title: Re: 30AC Pegwarmers?
Post by: Jesse James on March 31, 2008, 07:08 PM
30AC figures:

Wave 8 Remnants (training Clone, sometimes a Destroyer Droid though I usually buy it if I see it), Stormtroopers (though sporadic), etc.  I wish we saw things like Biggs Anchorhead around actually, that'd be refreshing.

Saga Legends:

This is the most...  I see lots of ROTS Clones (501st and plain white), sometimes shocktroopers, lots of AOTC Clones (white mostly, sometimes some officers, and usually all the same color for that store), Imperial Officers are abundant, Series 2 Pit Droids (all 3), R2-D2, etc. 

Legends is by far and away the pegwarmer central around me...  Lots of them, and a pretty healthy mix at that.  Lots of troopers which is good, but there's lots of everything else too.

We also still have routine sightings of about 6 to 12 2006 figures in the area at almost every store.  Target, Wal-Mart, and Toys R Us all have their share, and it's almost always Jerjerrod or Riekean.  No Vader's, no Naboo guys (I would've liked some on TRU's sale actually), and not much else.  Just Jerjerrod and Riekean.
Title: Re: 30AC Pegwarmers?
Post by: DoctorPadawan on March 31, 2008, 08:20 PM
The closest Wal-Mart to me is apparently still laboring under the delusion that the eight pegs crammed full of 2006 Jerjerrods and Endor Threepios are going to sell at full price, despite the inch or so of dust that has accumulated on them in the last 18 months and/or the damage that the cards have sustained over the several aisle resets done in the same time period.  This is the absolute worst pegwarming situation I have EVER seen in any SW line, dwarfing the 1997 Reign of Xixor by a longshot.  The four pegs that are actually able to be stocked (read: not jammed full of Jerjerrods and Threepios) with 30AC/Saga Legends figures are packed to overflowing with 7th Legion Clone Troopers, Training Fatigue Clone Troopers, Hawkbat Clone Troopers, and Holographic Vaders. 

Target is easily rearranged to show the degree of their pegwarming situation.  They have the following on their pegs:  4 SL Imperial Officers, 8 7th Legion Clone Troopers, 2 Rebel Vanguard Troopers, 6 Anchorhead Biggs Darklighters, 6 Holo Vaders, 3 2-1Bs, 3 Po Nudos, and 1 each of the SL Biker Scout, SL Boba Fett, McQuarrie Rebel Trooper, and the 2008 Darth Vader (Anakin).  Toys R Us has peg upon peg of Holo Vader and the repaint wave, in addition to at least 30 SL Sandtroopers.  They have yet to get a single case of 2008 figures whatsoever. 

And just think: later this fall, we'll have THREE separate lines going at the same time and I'm sure retail will do a great job of keeping them separate in both their ordering and on the pegs themselves!  ::)
Title: Re: 30AC Pegwarmers?
Post by: Brian on April 1, 2008, 11:56 AM
Around here, its mainly been the Saga Legends filling the pegs at all of the "big 3" stores.  Target is actually fairly picked over for figures, and the pegs haven't been super full lately.  Wal-Mart has mostly Legends (lots of Biker Scouts actually), as well as a smattering of the repaint wave/wave 8/and occasionally a few leftovers from 2008 Wave 1.  They also have at least two pegs overflowing with TSC Jerjerrods and a few other TSC figures.  TRU has recently stocked a lot of basic figures, mostly Legends and the repaint waves.  I think figures like Holo Vader, Spirit of Anakin, and others have entire pegs just to themselves.  They did have the newer SA 501st there in decent numbers though.  They also tend to have several Anakin Evolution sets on hand.
Title: Re: 30AC Pegwarmers?
Post by: Adam_Pawlus on April 1, 2008, 05:41 PM
The Saga Legends Imperial Officer is the most consistent 2007 figure that's hanging in my findings.  A few Targets have two to three dozen of the various head variants, and 1-2 other figures in the mix.   Today, he seems to be the one that rears his head the most to the point where I have little doubt it's resulting in the store not reordering more Saga Legends.

...and a few stores still have pegs of Lushros Dofines, so go figure.

TAC seems to be doing OK overall.  If it's sitting, wait a week, it'll probably go away.

I never thought the army builder people would have their fill of these two, but they are just piling up on the pegs...  it's one thing when the EU clones pegwarm, but when bona-fide movie troopers sit for weeks?  I guess everyone really has finally had enough clones.  :-X

I'm with you guys.  I can't believe how often I see these figures on the pegs, the Biker Scout in particular (especially at Wal-Mart).  I have to admit its tough for me not to pick up another one every time I'm out, especially if there is nothing else new on the pegs.  That Biker Scout is one of my all-time favorite figures, so its tough not to buy them up.

I noticed at our local Target store, the pegs seem to be dwindling down pretty good at this point.  Unless they start getting more shipments (I haven't seen any 08 figures at this particular store), things will be cleared out before too long.  That said, the pegwarmers there have mainly been Elis Herlot, the ROTS clone, and a couple Jerjerrods.  Its getting pretty picked over there though.  Other Targets in town have the same - mainly Legends (Sandtroopers and clones surprisingly, with some others), and I've seen a little bit of the 08 stuff there.

Wal-Mart still has a peg or two each full of the Naboo soldier and Jerjerrod.  They also are just packed with Legends, mainly Biker Scouts the last time I was there (though it has been a little while now).

TRU has a ton of stuff right now, again mostly Legends.  They also have a peg full of the Holo Vader and some of the others from that repaint wave.  They also have pegs full of Elis Herlot and Miyoom Onith.  Overall, throughout town it seems like its Legends warming things up more than anything else, although none of the newest (Shadow Stormtrooper/Zev/etc) releases.

Lando, Genral Mcquarrie, and even 4-LOM seem to be hard sells. They are STILL on the shelves in my stores. I have another target that has a ton of Po Nudo. I think it really depends on how many boxes the stores order, when, and from which series (Saga/TAC). I have a Toys R' Us that restocked all there shelves with saga stuff and there are probably 60 501st troopers keeping the pegs company.

Oh! And I still run into poor Moff Jerjerod.

I have had the darndest time finding Force Unleashed stuff. I have managed to get my hands on a few, but I see Juno Eclipse fairly often.

Speaking of which, am I the only one here that thinks Vader's apprentice in the FU Sith Evolutions looks aweful and needs to be completely redone? He looks NOTHING like the actor on whom the apprentice was based. Ugh!

I stopped at Target today over lunch, not looking for anything in particular but hoping to find a Shadow Stormtrooper or two.  I took notice of what was left on the somewhat empty Star Wars pegs.  There were 9 Elis Herlots, 3 Biker Scouts (which I grabbed one of), and 1 polka dot Clone from the repaint wave.  They've had those same figures for at least a couple of months now, so I'm wondering if they're waiting out for the relaunch in July from this point on.  The Star Wars section at our closest Target really hasn't changed much in awhile actually.  The Galactic Heroes and Comic Packs seem to be the same ones as always too, and there aren't any vehicles in the aisle at all (except Aayla fighters on the clearance endcaps).

I continue to be surprised at how many of the pegwarmers seem to be army builders this year.  I took a second while I was at TRU yesterday to count up, and they had 27 Sandtroopers on the pegs.  Other than the Holo Vaders, I think the second biggest "pegwarmer" there is the 501st or Biker Scout.  Target's pegs are dwindling down (mainly Elis Herlot at this point), and WM still has quite a few Biker Scouts (and TSC Naboo Soldiers/Moff Jerjerrods), and a mishmash of other Legends stuff.  I still get tempted to grab the Sandtroopers or Scouts each time I see them, but I've been trying to hold off.

Chicago is pretty dry overall.

The TRU nearby has an ample supply of 7th Legion & Hawkbat clones with a few Padmes &  Vangaurd troopers sprinkled in for good measure.

Targets still have some Pharls, Landos and Battle droids with some leftovr Tac 08 wave 1.

WM has Pit droids, Battle Droids, Vaders and yes plenty of Saga2 Reekiens.

Overall there is plenty of room for new product come 7/26. I am really looking forward to that date.....

It is really funny seeing how different the pegwarmers are from region to region.  I've seen a lot of people talk about the piles of Pharls, Smuggler Landos, and 4-LOMs, but I don't think there is a single one of any of these figures at any store in town here.  Here it is pretty much all about Legends figures, for the most part.

- Anything from the Repaint wave

I've also noticed all of the 2008 figures (except TFU Vader and the TFU Troopers) starting to sit.

I continue to be surprised at how many of the pegwarmers seem to be army builders this year. 

Yeah, me too. I'm having the same TRU experience, lots of Biker scouts, sandtrooers, Hawkbat and 7th legion clones.

Chicago is pretty dry overall.

The TRU nearby has an ample supply of 7th Legion & Hawkbat clones with a few Padmes &  Vangaurd troopers sprinkled in for good measure.

Targets still have some Pharls, Landos and Battle droids with some leftovr Tac 08 wave 1.

WM has Pit droids, Battle Droids, Vaders and yes plenty of Saga2 Reekiens.

Overall there is plenty of room for new product come 7/26. I am really looking forward to that date.....
the latest Hasbro Q&A that to make room for the 7-26 release date a lot a stores will have to clearence the old stuff...well according to the hasbro rep...

Believe it or not, Hasbro also has an exchange program. Stores can send back unsold product for credit toward new product.

That's pretty smart, it would also save money for Hasbro when they put those same figures into battlepacks.
