Over on Scum, Las Vegas and Phoenix have reported finding the Clone and the Sith Evolutions on the shelves of Walmart. Now the hunt begins for me for the Clones!
The info is under the ROTS Recent Acquisition Thread and includes pictures. Seems that the yellow clone from Ep. III's helmet does not cover his chin!

I'm surprised to see the other two Evolution packs being found already too.  The Anakin to Vader set still hasn't shown up around here, but I'm really hoping it will pretty soon.  Wal-Mart and Target have both done their resets, but no signs of the Evolution packs yet.  They have 500th Vaders and the Jedi vs. Sith Battle Pack, but that is about it.  Oh, and the same ROTS pegwarmers ;).

Looks like I'm caught up no more. I'll be on the lookout for the clone set...

With the way these are flying off the shelves, does anyone feel that we might see more of these after all (and I might actually get my Christmas wish*)??

Perhaps, however I'd just like to find the 3 official ones at this point...   ::)  These have been nothing short of a bastard to find in my area, and it's frustrating beyond description for me since this is the kinda stuff that makes collecting worth it to me.

Matt's sending me one he got, but I'm watning at least 2 of each, and now I know some kids who want these sets too after seeing me look at them online...  And the Clone set I want a ton of, I'm just dreading the thoughts of trying to find it.  :(

I have not even seen Anakin's set yet, nor any new waves on the pegs in 5 weeks.

Not at Target, not at WalMart, not at KMart, not at TRU, not at KB.  Nowhere.

What the hell?

I've decided that I'm not going to go crazy army building with the Clone sets. I know they'll be a bitch to find in the first place, and the $20 price tag will be hell, especially since there's a bunch of other stuff out that I want.

Finding these will be the worst part though. I'll either have to be at the store at opening time, or find a "veteran" employee, who knows how to look things up in the back, and is nice enough to and get one.

Then there's the whole DCPI fiasco... ::)

I really think if the distro works on this, they won't be that hard to find. Consider that for now in the case we have 2 Sith and 2 Clone, then IF I remember right, we get 2 Anakin and 2 Clone, then a case of 4 Clones I think we'll find em.
I am hoping to find the Clones tonight or tomorrow when I make my runs to Wally, but I am passing on the Sith.

Does anybody know what the case assortments are. All weve got around here are the Anakin packs. Are they shipping cases of 1 set each or are they mixed?

Hmmm... we'll see what happens, but I want to get 4-5 of the Clone sets and 2 of the Sith sets... all openers of course.   :)

I have no idea what the case assortments are.   :-\

All I know is that the Anakin sets are currently shipping in cases of four (a full case). I have no idea what the others are, but I think there are mixes and a full case of Clones.

According to EE, the will be:

Wave 1 - 4 Anakins
Wave 2 - 4 Troopers
Wave 3 - 2 Troopers, 2 Sith

That would be an ideal ratio... I hope it holds true!

Current ratios are 2 Clones and 2 Sith.
