I picked up the Dagobah X-Wing at TRU on Friday afternoon.  It really does look sweet in the box (and it is a heck of a big box).  I open pretty much everything, but I was half tempted to leave this in just due to the overall presentation.  I might try to use the cardboard bottom/backdrop included or something, because it does look kind of neat.

Stopped at an out of the way K-mart this morning and it paid off. Found a UGH Fett and UGH Snowtrooper just sitting there on the pegs. Must have been old stock that they found as there wasn't much of anything else...

Picked up my first Target Exclusive Demise of Grievous figure for the lofty sum of $0.47, which is about all it was worth to me.  Now for the surgery to make him 1 1/2" taller like Hasbro should have....

Wow, you found him on clearance for that price?

Now I feel pretty stupid for paying full price...

If you had to have it, you did the right thing by buying it when you saw it.  No guarantees you'd have found it on clearance.

I, on the other hand perhaps, did not have to have it.  I could take it or leave it, whatever.  For under a buck though, I'll take it.

I have never, and will never, pay Target $12.99 for a 3 3/4" figure.  Just ain't happenin'. 

There's principalities up in here.

Well that makes no sense.  Clearance is part of Target's strategy.  They even put food that does not expire in the near future in clearance.  Oh well. ::)

Holy crap! And I thought picking a bunch up at $3.24 was a steal. NICE! Maybe i'll cruise the Targets near me on the way home...

I received my HasbroToyShop.com order today! I got 10 DSG, 1 Emperor, 2 Chirpa and 1 C-3po  ;D. Surprisingly enough they were packaged very well too! Each figure was individually bubble wrapped.

Check out TRU which hasn't put out new stock in about 2 months.  They had their $5.99 sale going on and actually had filled pegs with the Endor wave.  Bought 6 Death Star Gunners.

TRU only stocks their pegs a few times a year, so I had to take advantage.

Dressel you lucky son of blaster.  Great score/price. 


Went to local Target last night, they ususally have lots of pegs for Star Wars at this Target-'bout 20 or so.  And they were full---full of  :-X I mean.  nothing but bugs 3 deep on each peg, and 2 Padme's.  Haven't found anything but GB's really at other locations.
