Has ANYONE else seen these at a Ross?

I've been hitting them up every day and not seeing anything around here.  :(

Not happy that they play back-to-back games on Saturday and Sunday to start things off though...

"Smithers, kill the Rolling Stones."

Who's ready to pay $14.99 for these this Fall?  :D

Me neither.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6 Inch Figures?

Were't we just discussing earlier in this thread the $15 price point? That's a lot more in line with where these should be, IMO.

I think a good point of comparison is the Walking Dead figure line, which is sold at both TRU and local comic shops.

I consistently find these significantly cheaper at the local comic shops. TRU will occasionally run a good sale that makes them competitive, but in general, they are worse there than anywhere.

SW will have the benefit of Target and Walmart stocking them, so this should help, but frankly nothing would suprise me as far as pricing anymore. I can see these being $25 everywhere, or worse even.

Is that after SDCC? Seems like that would potentially affect the # of units they release for sale on HTS after the ComiCon is over.

Thanks a lot to Jeff on a great deal for some Clone Wars figures that will make a welcome addition to my loose collection and/or potential customs fodder.  :)

Recommended to all...A+!

Yay, 2 Game Sevens to look forward to! Best thing in sports is Game 7 in hockey, IMHO. (Worst thing is any sport decided by a $%^&* shootout, lamest thing EVER)

Also would have made a better Leia/Luke chat about Mom in Jedi if she escaped and died a few years later... instead "Mom was sad from the impression I got as a newborn for the 2 minutes I knew her."

Seconded, that line always rang hollow for me.

Bummer, I was 0-3 at Ross today looking for Hobbit figures. Maybe they just haven't arrived yet? Hoping it is not just a regional thing. Around here only TRU sold that line.

Finally saw the Endor AT-AT at TRU today. Can't say I was really impressed or disappointed, just disinterested. Nice to see a new Star Wars toy on a shelf again though.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Recent Clone Wars Finds/Purchases

Picked up another Commander Fox from TRU today, for no particular reason. They're literally the only place here still stocking new Clone Wars figures. I guess I just missed buying something.

Screw it, i find these tomorrow at Ross, and I'm throwing down. A man can only hold out so long!

Well done! A worthy effort for sure. Loved the hangar bay diorama.

IIRC everybody wanted a short, stacked guy with a bad attitude to play Wolverine and here comes Jackman, who wasn't exactly jacked up before the role, and he's like 6'2", and he was more famous for doing theater at the time.

He didn't really jump off the casting page as the type of guy you'd cast in that part.

   E...

Right, this was my recollection as well. Man, that was a LONG time ago...

I do recall a lot of people wanted Danzig, who would have been awesome but who knows whether the dude can act. Jackman was largely an unknown at that time I believe.

He's made the role his own though, hard to imagine anyone else doing it now. I give him props for a job well done.

Silk Spectre II arrived yesterday!  ;D

Nice figure, great likeness, and I love the translucent wrap over her costume, but I am still confounded by those extra leg joints. Man, those are an eyesore.

Bring on your Night Owl!
