I checked my local Target still full price and still loaded with them. It looks like they did not even sell one in the last two days. They are also jam packed with the ROTS wave. I found a lone Rebela and Klaatu which I grabbed for customs.

I have been using the Rebel Commando a lot and I gave the extra Rifles to my other Hoth Rebls so now my army is finally properly equipped with the latest gear. I also gave the new camo packs to my Saga2 Endor Rebels. It makes them look more SWs.

Same here.

Yeah, clearance I may even cave on one just to have all the extras...  TIE Pilots, FX-7's, Hoth Rebels, the freaky alien Bespin Guard (who you can put Needa's head on, and it looks good, to make a generic white Bespin Guard...  That's your tip of the day folks), and others are ok to have extras of.

But only on clearance.  It's just not interesting to me otherwise.

How soon could we expect that?

Now that I've seen this in a store and had an opportunity to see it up close, I can weigh in on it. Personally, I'm glad there's nothing new so I can skip it, however, if I can find one mint on sale, I'll grab it with a Clone Cash coupon and my Target card 5-percent discount.
If Hasbro truly wanted collector interest, there should have been something enticing to this set. Nostalgia is not a tangible item. The repacks and minor repaints make it skippable. The painfully-cloying press release last week only exacerbates this issue. Hasbro is thinking big picture and wants to guarantee Target picks up all the packs it has planned, but needs these to do well. Judging from the fact that I saw four in one store today -- all banged up -- I don't know.

My store had the flyer up, but did not have any out.

Two women were dismantling the Star Wars marquee display so I asked them. One of the two women has given me attitude in the past. But unlike previous times, I had the flyer on my side. I think those Sunday circular ads are like the Bible to Target employees.

Once they saw the 9-pack ad in the circular, it was to see how fast they could run into the back and bring out the item.

They come in cases of six 9-packs per box and the outer box around the three 3-packs is entirely TOO BIG. But at least it's one less item I need for the MIB/MOC collection...

So you got it?

I think you're missing a word in your previous post, Pete.

Received my first one today, and it was double boxed. The inner was the thin one I think everyone has been talking about (it said rocket firing boba fett on the bottom front). The outer was double the thickness.
The card is wavy, but other than that it is perfect. I'll just plant some books on it and see what happens-
 

same here for me with everything you posted

My second came and they still manage to cave in the bubble in a double box. My first has a tiny, yet noticeable, bubble dent along its side.

I found AT-RT w/ Boil, Freeco speeder w/ Snow Clone and the mini-tank w/ TX Droid at a not-so-close TRU on my way into NYC today for the marathon.

Here's a question for anyone who's gotten this vehicle and opened it up...

Does this vehicle come with one of those Blue/Gray instruction sheets? I just opened up the one I found this morning and it wasn't entirely tied down in the packaging and there wasn't one of those sheets with the vehicle.

I'm gonna return it if it was supposed to have one of those sheets...

Mine did not have one, Pete, and I wondered the same thing. I think it's safe to say with just the guns, which kinda suck, Hasbro thought we could figure it out.

Republic Shuttle is a solid bet. I'd like a Twilight though as well.
Can we please have both?
