Almost had a heart attack today when I found Sabine and Old Ben in a local Gamestop. No sign of the others. I hit 4 other locations while I was out but nada. Super happy and surprised to have even found these though. Pretty sure Gamestop is one of those places that has to sell through stock before they put out new stuff.

Hopefully the rest are not too far behind...

After a blitzkrieg run on local Gamestops last night, I managed to net two AT-AT drivers and a Leia.  ;D

Still no sign of Revan or the Snowtrooper, but they appear to be breaking up cases so probably just the luck of the draw...

A few more of my local Gamestops showed quantity for the Revan wave today so I got my hopes up.

The first store had two Leias.  ::)

The second store didn't have anything new out. I asked and the guy said he had two on hold for someone. He opens the drawer and shows me Revan and the Snowtrooper: the exact two I need. I've been going into this guy's store for two weeks looking for these and never once did he mention there was an option of holding these if they came in. There's no separate listing for this SKU on their website and none of the figures are listed out individually so I figured there was no way to put them on reserve. Rats!  >:(

At least I got within a few feet of them.

It can ALWAYS be worse. My stores are packed with Finns for $24.99.

I've stopped at a few Gamestops and they're jammed with earlier waves.   :-\

Gamestops have never yielded anything for me. Giant piles of last year at the ones here.

I checked out a nearby Gamestop and actually found a couple of 6" TFA General Hux figures.  It's really odd that I saw that wave ONCE at TRU, and it only ever turned up again at Gamestop.

Yeah, all the ones here have the older figures too, they just put the new guys right out beside them. Guy said they were arriving in a big box with other items, only 2 per store. Odd.

My persistence did pay off ultimately though as I found both Revan and the Snowtrooper at a different location after work. Had to look all over, they had 6"'figures in three different locations. Luckily while I was waiting in line to ask the cashier I spied them up near the registers and pounced.

I'd still like another Snowtrooper but I think I need a break from that store for a couple of days.

That is because you didn't slip him a fifty to "preorder".

Ha ha, in that case someone wasted their money because I went back the next morning when they opened and they hadn't been picked up yet so they handed both of them right over to me.  ;D

Spotted Wave 9 at my local comic shop yesterday! For $30 each. And no Revan.

I'm gonna order a case after Christmas, which is much cheaper than that price.

Picked up another Snowtrooper today at GameStop, think I am good on those guys now. Can't wait to pick up Chirrut and Baze in the near future.
