Recent Legacy Purchases

[King_Maul]

I picked up the Grievous/CB-3D and DM/I-5YQ Droid Factory sets at a local WM.  This is the first I've seen them in a while.  Now I've got to track the other 3 down.  I have not seen all 5 together.  Also, at $17 each, it was tough to pull the trigger.

Picked up a Legends Chewie (sandstorm version) so now my correct VOTC version can make fun of the sandstorm version.

Picked up Ambush on the Vultures Claw Battle Pack. (I just missed the Gunship Pod BP saw it walk away...... )

[Darth_Anton]

I picked up the Jedi Training Academy set yesterday.  I'm kind of regretting it.

[Dressel Rebel]

Bought the Yuuzhan Vong/Katarn comic pack and Gunship pod battle pack at TRU tonight.  Love them both, and also I love clone cash.

I left the rest of the comic packs, they're priced okay at 12.99 but the only other figure I'm at all interested in was the Darth Krayt.

[JACKOFTRADZE]

I picked up and set of three of the new comic packs for customs and army builders. The crazy thing is people on eBay are paying $28-$37 for Darth Krayt loose and $20-$27 for Lumiya. I plan on buying a lot of the Darth Krayt pack to customize the female Imp Knights so I can get you hooked up DR with the next set I get at cost opr I would be happy to buy the Imp Kight figure from you. I also plan on getting 1-2 more of the Lumiya packs for that Luke head to replace all of my VOTC Bespin Luke heads, it's a huge improvement from that lop sided eye head it has currently.

As for the extra Lumiya & Krayt I currently have I could not help but post them on eBay. My Lumiya already has a bid for $21.99, this crap is expensive and if someone is willing to over pay that much right now I am more than happy to oblige them. Feel free to throw stones but that one figure already almost paid for 2 of the 3 packs on it's own so I have no regrets.

Scored two of the Target Exclusive Wedge Antilles X-Wings this morning.

[JACKOFTRADZE]

I only scored one Wedge Fighter and I picked up x2 Imperial Knight comic packs for customs. I have done more than my part to clear the shelves for new figures thanks to customs.

[DoctorPadawan]

Picked up all three Wal-Mart exclusive Evolutions packs today.  $21.76, plus the Governor's drapery cleaning share.

[Pete_Fett]

Picked up the following this morning:

3x WM Evolutions Imperial Pilots Series II
2x WM Evolutions Rebel Pilots Series III
2x WM Evolutions Clone Commandos

Unfortunately when I got there, it was an incomplete case of them, otherwise, I would have picked up a third Clone Commandos set.

[Darth_Anton]

I found the WM Evo sets, had to convince them that they wern't recalled, then the said they were "on-line exclusives" and shipped to the store by mistake. Got 'em for regular Evo price.

[JACKOFTRADZE]

I scored x2 WM Octapurra Droids. No signs of the Evo's. The Droid box is pretty heavy so this has some weight to it. It should for $35 a pop.

The bs debates we have to get into with these Wally employees to buy these are crazy.

The damn things are right there on the sales floor, we pick them up and bring them to the register and then we have to spend 15 minutes fighting over everything from convincing them they're not recalled to convincing them they're allowed to sell them now to what the price is.

They need to get their **** together.

Got X-wing Wedge, Kyle & imperial girl comic packs, I pass on Dark lady with luke.

[Jesse James]

I think a lot of the reason WM's aren't letting them go out the door is because of toy recalls in the recent past.  That's been a big thing, and I think it's made many managers gunshy to let something that isn't in the system go, or that's bringing up a code.  It used to not be this much of a stone wall when something wasn't in their systems...  Now, not so much.

They obviously don't know one item from another.  I tried picking up a regular Evolutions set when they weren't in the system yet prior to the launch of the Legacy line, and they gave me the same run-around.  I know the manager at my nearest store and explained to her what the deal was, so she let me pick it up at the time, but she said all the toy recalls have caused them to be gunshy about just "pushing it through" the system.

I can believe that.  It makes sense.
