Well that's a miscommunication though...  Dealing with people overseas is "difficult" at times.  I can attest to this myself personally.  It's easy for things to get misconstrued.  It's disappointing though that it seems to happen frequently.

So can I. But in my experience, it's the language barrier and the "better be safe than sorry" attitude. The supervisors run into a problem and in stead of getting clarification, they just do what's been done before. Sounds like the problems Hasbro's having is the same exact problem I had.

Lots of purchases this week:

2x "Under the Helmet" Rex & Fives 2-pack
2x "Under the Helmet" Cody & Echo 2-pack
2x Octuparra Droid
2x Imperial V-Wing
1x K-Mart "Clone Squad" 4-pack
1x WM Clone Commandos Evolutions Set (so I can have a second one open)

and I found one each of Obi-Wan, Amidala, Gungan Warrior, the Pod Racer and Holo Sidious from the TPM wave. For some reason Rum Sleg was missing when I found them...

Pretty expensive week...

Found the Phantom Menace wave today, I bought the Gungan, Rum Sleg, and Obi Wan who are all awesome.

I passed on everything else because I just do not think they are worth $8.50.  I feel that Holo Sidious and the podracer are practically pack-ins or accessories for other figures.

I'll buy more Gungans when I see them.

Got 'em at Target.

No ****?  These are still shipping?

In recent days I've gotten...

-Octuparra Droid (CW, I know, but it's realistically sculpted)
-Evolutions sets (most for $17, one for $24.96)
-4 Target 2-packs (which are sitting in a UPS station about 40 minutes from me...  I want my ****, brown man!)
-Hoth Rebels (bearded, obviously) bringing me to an almost respectable number...  not enough yet though.
-$3.99 30AC figures at TJ Maxx...  Takin' it to the max!

I cannot find...

-2 Gunship Ball Turret battlepacks.
-Latest Comic 2-packs (Kyle Katarn w/Vong, Luke/Lumiya, and so on).  I'm hoping to get a couple Kyle/Vong packs...  2 or 3.

I can't find the Snail Tank Droid either...  I haven't looked as hard for this, but I also haven't seen it at all when I am out and about.

Over the past week I've got shipment notifications for the TPM and ROTJ waves as well from BBTS, so those should both be here within the week.  Also grabbed Wedge's X-Wing at Target a week or so ago.  Other than that, not much showing up locally.  Stores are really stocked up with the newer CW waves, and I did pick up the Han/Chewie (sandstorm) Legends figures a couple weeks back, but that's about it.  The only WM exclusive that has shown so far is the Octuparra Droid, but I haven't decided if I'm going to get that or not.

TRU came through again this week as I found one Geonosis Assault BP. I found and received too much crap this week to really enjoys it. While I am thankful I am finding everything I want I really hate the onslaught of releases after the long drought.

How did I miss this drought you speak of?
This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full, and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within

Thank you. Factor in gas and time saved you will actually get ahead.
