The tru website now has the geonosian w/bike and rebel sled in stock and for sale.

Found the rest of these today at Target. Two of the packs I was on the fence with changed my mind when I could see them in the packaging. The Grievous is new thanks to several JD members for that. I may have not even looked at this set if it were not from the posts here. Kix is a nice repaint from an episode I really like and Rex has the blast mark on his chest from where he was shot with the sniper! I almost dropped the box. I figured that was going to be the figure the dog ended up with. The defend Kamino pack has the 501st Fives and Echo, and what I thought was a repack of the yellow arc trooper from last year's set, but it is redone with a new Kama and paint job and named Blitz. I can't see if it says Blitz on the card yet or not. My son's birthday is in three weeks and they will not be openers until then. I also thought I would skip the assume in geonosis back until I saw the trooper is not a repack of waxed or boil but a more generic arf trooper, something I wanted but did not ever expect to see. The Obi-won has a great sand weathered look and would be a great piece for a landing at point rain display. The geonosian is just a nice sculpt. Yo can never have too many of them. The bane is cool, but that pack is the stinker of the bunch. I only got it because we have been waiting for that figure so long. So long story short don't dismiss all of these before you get a close look at them.

I wish I had that kind of luck. Here I have rarely been able to find a final wave figure on a peg. I have switched to buying the last wave online. Tons of Visla, Flamethrower clones, and Obi-wons though.

I have season tickets in Tampa. I can give you a heads up on what hotels are within walking distance and what deals are available when you are ready to get a tan and have a world class hockey experience in the same weekend. Our new owner is putting 35 million into upgrades to the arena. From what I have seen so far it will be very nice. A new party deck will provide a breathtaking outdoor view of the downtown area, new seats, and a great atmosphere.

I had to go back again because I missed the wampa the first time chasing r2. I have to admit it looks more like a dark crystal character than a wampa.
 I guess mr. Lucas was not kidding when he did the special edition restoration that if he waited any longer the film would have been beyond repair. All it is missing, for anyone old enough, is the 4,3,2...at the beginning and I would have thought I was sitting on the gym floor.
Great stuff.

With the Mando armor there will not be cleavage. That should be enough for one to be bought out of the back room at Target before it ever makes it to a peg, and then is never re ordered in favor of 24 arf troopers that were shipped from a warehouse overstock. Maybe she will shoot Lux and save us the trouble of finding him in a store as wel.

Looks like the new hoth set is a 94 dollar exclusive at TRU. It is new on the website, but not in stock online as of this morning. It looks pretty awesome though.
