I went to my local WM and they still have tin packs :o! They can't get rid of them at $18.99 :o!

There's tons of cantina ones and the biker scout and sandtrooper sets as well left ::).

the several creppy things I do....


Especially at Target..
- I like to compile all the pegs with 1-3 figures onto just a few pegs, making them full and leaving 5 open pegs. I do this before I ask the employee for cases in the back. When they say there's none, I tell them the pegs look thin(because they always say they cannot stock unless there's room on the pegs). When they see the pegs sometimes it works and it gets them to draw a case out of the back- it's worked enough times for me to keep trying it. Works especially great if you have a store that still has buttons on the floor mounted scanners-if you punch in the DCPI verifying quantities in the stock room and then coupled with peg quantity reconfiguration you have all their anti-lies at the ready!

At Walmart..
- I reconfigure the figures on the pegs to create 'room' when I notice cases on the pallets, then I ask a toy person for help stocking cases. If they help me fine, I offer to help stock 'em. If not I get the cases anyway ;).

A rare trick I tried and it worked a couple times...at any retailer I get sick of seeing the pegwarmers. So what I do is I place them all on their own pegs then call a clerk for help, complaining that 'these are the only ones you have?', ' I already have them' Do you have any more to stock?' Like I said, sometimes that method got me a case too.

Sometimes of course I get bored and just rearrange all the figs on respective pegs to see who the real pegwarmers are ::)

Why, does he look like like you? Or was it his personality that's not as cool as yours?

I cracked open my animated debut Boba today, He's pretty cool.

My only drawbacks were the unmoveable wrists, the gun was a real tight fit in the holster-(I can fix it with a blade), and that his left leg won't bend to 90 degrees for a good kneeling position. His waist joint is really loose too- but I have been seeing that on a lot of figs this year.

His left leg cannot bend fully due to the cargo pack on his belt.

I like the moveable sensor scope, the separated tubes on his arm sculpt, cloth cape remnant, wookie pelts, rocket packet and new gun and 2 prong trident accessory.

The case says wave 4.75 but I think this equates to case 4 rev. 4.

sorry, I didn't realize anyone was waiting.... I got 6 total sets of wave 4.75 UGH last night(3 UGH types).
At one store the 4 sets of UGH purchased(droid boba, mcchewie, AB trooper) were 4.95$ each. I wish I did have at least 1 complete set.

No, they were not vintage :P.

sorry for the confusion

Yeah it is weird Anthony..it concerns me too. I hope stores don't get too much from one revision wave causing them to miss their auto order for some of the other revisions and end up skipping some waves.

Just the UGH's or all wave 4 figs?

I believe the TAC is that price(wave 4)... Legends are still 6.63 though

I'm a little concerned that stores may skip revisions of wave 4 because of the store volume on figs not allowing for auto orders- hence 'skipping' waves. So I got extra sets for trade if this indeed becomes the case. However, if I'm totally wrong-- which does happen often, then I'll 'sell off' my extras.

This can possibly be a single store price setting malfunction/error. Anyway though it was woth mentioning..

Picked up 4 sets of UGH at a Walmart for 4.95 each!!
