New 3.75" basic figures at WalMart.  Armor Up at TRU.  But at $14.99 each, TRU can keep the Armor Up figures.

Finally scored the Han/Rey/Hassk Thug and Rex/Unkar Plutt/FN-2187 waves this week. The Han wave was at Target and the Unkar wave was at WalMart.

I saw the new Han last night...first new figure I've seen in months. I can't seem to catch a break on Rex or the 5th Brother though, have been looking everywhere for those two. Every time I see counts change on Brickpicker I race out only to find it was another old wave.  >:(

Watching Amazon has finally paid off.  Managed to get Rebels Rex, Unkar Plutt and Stormtrooper Finn there for $7.99 each.  Also got Resistance Rey and the Snap Wexley 2-pack in a store this morning.

Grabbed a Tasu Leech yesterday at Walmart in the Boston area. Someone had already grabbed Ackbar unfortunately.

Had a similar experience this morning on my way into work - found the remnants of the Ackbar wave - mainly Tasu Leech and the Fifth Brother, which I grabbed.

Picked up the Sidon Ithono 2-pack because the figures look pretty darn cool.

Finally found Han tonite at Target. At this rate, I should see Ackbar around the time the Rogue One toys drop.

I finally decided I was sick of trying to find another Fifth Brother to open so I grabbed one off HTS just now. Still in stock if you need it.

Happy to not obsess over this guy anymore.

I picked up the WalMart exclusive Resistance X-wing yesterday.  I wish they could have made a functional droid socket with this vehicle, because the color scheme really lends itself to more pilots that just Poe Dameron.  Those markings work for pilots like Snap Wexley, Nien Nunb and Jess Pava.  And it was an X-wing just like this one that was in one of my favorite shots of the film.  It was very much like the gun camera style shot, like one out of TOP GUN, mounted on the fuselage of the fighter as it was rolling in on an attack run.

I was sick and tired of not finding this way PERIOD - I grabbed all three off HTS last week, used the SPRING16 promo code and got them with free shipping and less than $6.99 each.

Very glad to be down to just the unmasked Kylo Ren wave in the 5POA BAW line...

Stopped by a big-ish local toy store last Saturday. They must have just stocked. Finally came across a Phasma; pleasantly shocked to find Tasu Leech, Fifth Brother, and Ackbar; and rounded it off with the Luke that I never bothered with until now. A nice side trip with the exception of my niece and nephew guilting me into buying them something.  :P

Found Ithano/Quiggold and Snowtrooper/Wexley 2-packs at a Target a day later.

At this point I'm officially caught up. I ended up buying a second stormtrooper squad leader the other day. Just waiting on Takodana to hit.

I was able to buy Captain & Taneal off Hasbro's Ebay store, so that was nice.  It was one of the few things I REALLY actually wanted to own.

I would like the squad leader Stormie and the unmasked Kylo (to custom up one of my good Kylo figures from Wal-Mart).

Looking at the rest of the stuff I don't have, I don't think I'll care much then if I don't get it.  TVC Nein Numb is all the Numb I Nein, and Tassu Leech I'd like, but meh.

I'm still on the fence TRYING to custom a Han.  I want one, but the headsculpt is so-so to me, and he's gonna be a bear to add articulation to I'm afraid.  But I really really want an articulated TFA Han.  :-\

May buy a couple more Hassk's if I see them.  I dig those guys for some reason.
