Like Jesse said I am cloned-out.  There is only so many time I canl buy the same figure before I feel like a moron.

Right there with ya- As much as I love amassing troopers, these non-stop repaints are driving Hasbro and I further apart. One of each trooper for me (OK sometimes 2), and even then I'll be shaking my head at myself when I do it. I've skipped more than 1/2 the figures in the last couple of assortments.

 At least the target battle packs (Mace, skirmish, clone attack) provide multiple clones of the same type for a decent price. I hope they continue that pattern in 07.

Hmmm.  The dirtmall report is starting to seem more dubious.  The only wave 9 in-hand auctions seem to be from the UK.  Even for a repack like Yarael Poof.  Aside from that I saw a couple of wave 9 figures from Arkansas that *might* just be from some buyer for WalMart.

I concour about the dubious nature of the reports, but these should still be right around the corner.

Perhaps the army builders are rebelling against non-movie Clone Troopers?

Or maybe just "Cloned out" - too many new Clones to keep up with and giving up.

I haven't even bought one 442nd or 5th Fleet clone.  Had they had even a 5 second fight sequence with the 442nd fighting on Cato Neimodia or something like that, I'd have bought about 20 of them for sure.  I'm tempted, but no screen time, no space in my collection.  With very few exceptions.

I believe he's talking about the Appo wave. And that post was made a week or so ago. Hard to believe that they were found there and nowhere else besides overseas.
I remember my dream now.

Ah ok, not the WM wave then...  Well, I'm still waiting for a picture with a receipt before I go too nuts pulling my hair out that I haven't seen anything but the first wave of the final 22.

I was looking around over at Hasbro Toy Shop, and it looks like they have some of the figures from the first wave (Wave 7? - the one that has been found at retail) of the "Final 22" available and in stock.  Some are sold out, but part of the wave is there if anyone is interested.

Any sign of the Kashyyyk clone/Appo wave yet, even on the West coast?

Actually, per RS's post yesterday, Chewie with 3PO is being switched out with the EIII "Wookiee Rage" Chewy.

In one of the BBTS newsletter e-mails not too long ago (last week maybe) they said they were expecting their Appo wave (Wave 9) at the end of this week...

A guy at sandtroopers.com found the Appo wave at a comic-book store in Santa Cruz. No reliable (i.e. retail store) sitings yet.
