BIG scores last night...one of the local Targets had gone ahead and fully stocked for the reset. They had TVC figures, TCW figures, Legends, all the new vehicles, deluxe sets (Wave 1 only), PLUS the 4 new Battlepacks AND the new AT-AT!!! 

I drooled over the AT-AT for a few minutes, but I had already made the decision to hold out for the Vintage packaged version. Hard to walk away from that bad boy though.

I did go ahead and pick up the Droids & Clones BP as well as the Anti-Hailfire Squad - they are both marvelous. I also picked up a very minty Boba Fett from the TVC line to replace the 2 slightly dinged ones I had already procured from TRU.

They also had the Rex and Ani Force Battlers or whatever. Still can't decide if I want these or not. They look pretty cool though, and are definitely in the animated style, so it's a maybe.

I have a feeling the proverbial flood gates are about to open. Yee-haw!

I made a few Target runs last night with varying levels of success.

About half of them had started the section reset - 2 rows of pegs for TVC, 1 each for Legends and TCW. (Sorry, this is just not enough space for TCW, it is hard enough to find those waves as it is)

One location had the new vehicles on the shelves - Cloud Car, Interceptor Tank, etc. All were badly beat up boxes.

Another location had the new GH 2-packs, I sort of hate these things but I had to buy the Aurra Sing one for my focus.

None of them had new figures at all.

Oddly enough, I scored the new Obi-Wan w/Barc Speeder and SideCar Deluxe set tonight at TRU. I had not heard of the Wave 1 Revision 2 hitting yet, so this was a cool surprise.

What sucks is it also means I missed the Mando with Speeder set that I am really stoked for...durnit. 

In all the hubbub surrounding SDCC last week, I negelected to mention my latest Vintage score - the Imperial Sniper. 

This completes my collection of mini-rigs, and a fine addition it is too.

One step closer!

Didn't see a separate thread for this, but Walmart.com has the new Clone Troopers and Droids BP in stock and up for sale now - $23.99. I am considering the site to store option now, except I dread getting a dinged box somehow.

They have a boatload of other swag up now too, including the RC Hailfire Droid.

Thanks for the alert on the front page guys - great scoop!

I believe the Hasbro slideshow presentation is slated for this evening, but not sure about the exact time. Anyone else have a clue?

Yep, the K-Mart buzz got me motivated too...I drove across town last night and scored all the new Deluxe sets for around $53. (Ouch, BTW) Great to have these, all in very good condition packaging-wise too.

No sign of Jodo Kast yet, but apparently he has been spotted already out of state, so the Hunt continues.

Nothing new whatsoever at TRU. Kinda weird they are not trying to capitalize on their corner of the market by restocking the TVC stuff around here, they kidn of shat their wad and that was it. 

and no sign of Kul Teska or the AT-AT either.

Bump for SDCC.

Did anyone else see the Aayla Secura figure on display at Comic-Con?  I could SWEAR they have revised her facial paint apps in some way. I never liked the eyes on the ones I bought, but the new re-release version they showed looked really good. It's subtle, but very noticeable to me as I am really keen on this figure.

Guess I'll have to compare side-by-side to be sure.
