I found a couple cases of the Hovertank Pilot at TRU earlier today, so they're getting out in distribution.  They also apparently offer 10% with a TRU Credit Card on Thursdays and Saturdays now.

From this moment for all my life. What could I say? Was born to be this way. And what could I say?  Just livin' for today

I found a fresh case of R1 Wave Two 6" figures over lunch today at Target.  :)

I only just saw a store report yesterday of this wave popping up there, so the timing couldn't have been much better. They look terrific in hand, especially Krennic, by whom I did not expect to be wowed. Stormtrooper Squad Leader is multiple kinds of awesome.

Looking forward to comparing 3PO's tonight...

Good stuff!

Found the Death Trooper/Cassian/Jyn set at Target tonight. There were four on the shelf.

Picked up Krennic, the Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader and TFA C-3PO today at the one Target I checked.  And oddly enough, I found some 6" Black Series First Order Stormtroopers and even an Atsy today while I was searching for the Walgreens C-3PO.  No luck with Threepio yet!

Local comic shop had the Krennic/Scarif/3PO wave out the other night, but I passed at $30 a pop. I'm hoping for Krennic and 3PO to warm pegs so I can grab them for $15 or less on Amazon, but I do kind of regret not snagging the Shoretrooper.

I bet you'll be able to find loads of all three at Target in the next week or two...

I had to call it a day around lunchtime, but I managed to hit up at least seven different Gamestops here with no luck on the Revan wave. I did find the Krennic wave at three different Targets I hit though.

And I found the Hovertank Pilot at TRU again, so that was cool.

Still no luck with the Revan wave, but I scored big on Walmart Scarif Stormtroopers today at lunch! Terrific figure, I don't think he edges out the Hovertank Pilot for sheer awesomeness, but it is close.

The store where I found him had two full cases out on the pegs...which means I've already seen more of this guy than I did the 6" Shocktrooper. Hopefully that bodes well for army builders.

Good hunting!  :)

Found Krennic and 3PO at Target tonight, buried among a ton of FO Snowtroopers, Kanans, and ANH Lukes.

A local TRU had at least six of the Hovertank pilots on the pegs for the $19.99 price, so I picked one up.  Have not seen the Wave 2 stuff around my area in central CA at mass retail, but likely it has arrived, been snagged by others, and I've just not come across any of it yet.  I did get the Scariff beach trooper and Krennic figures at a specialty retailer a couple weeks ago, but paid a bit more for them.  They were too awesome-looking to leave behind.

Found a lone Exclusive 3PO at a Walgreens last night but ended up not buying it; the checkout line was too long because some guy was buying like all of his Thanksgiving groceries and they weren't honoring his coupons or something. I'm banking on these being as plentiful as the Vader ended up being, so I left it there.

Was out on a business trip this morning and decided to hit a few Walmarts and Targets on my way back to see what I could find.  At the Walmart in Patterson, CA, I found some Director Krennic and TFA C3PO figures.  At the Target in Los Banos, CA, I found some Ashoka Tano and Kannan Jarus figures as well.  I did not see any sign of the Walmart exclusive Scariff Storm Trooper or the Scariff Storm Trooper squad leader figures.  Nevertheless, I had been looking for all of the figures I found, so it was a really good haul  :)

Sorry for the double post, but I went out today to one last Walmart in a neighboring rural community and found 10 of the exclusive Scarif Stormtroopoer figures and took home a couple of them.  I've had better luck these past two days checking Walmarts and other stores in more rural, isolated communities than I have in more urban areas.  Possibly a good strategy to employ if you are looking for these figures and can't find them in your area.

I think they normally start flowing out in sections of the country (by retailer).  What state are you in?

I'm in California.  The Scarif Stormtroopers were found in the small community of Kerman, CA, about 20 miles outside of where I live in Fresno in the central part of the state.
