Got a boatload of Wave 6 and 7 tonight at Wal-Mart and Target respectively.

One of my WM's got no less than 4 cases of Wave 6 in I'd guess, just based on the number of new AOTC Clones I saw.  I also saw Wave 5 remnants too that weren't carry-overs.

A Target near me had one lonely wave 7 case out, pretty fresh.

Found a case of Wave 7 at TRU last week and then another at Target this week. I have a case on pre-order as well, so besides grabbing extras of the Rebel Fleet Trooper and ARC Commander, once I get that case I'll be "done" with the rest of the wave.

Now I just gotta get caught up on Clone Wars....  :P

Buddy of mine picked up wave 7 for me at TRU. Not happy about the price, but I'm actually concerned about the line waning.

The Target where I picked up Wave 7 remnants last week restocked over the past day or so - they had another full case out today at lunch. They must have been unpunched too...most were still attached. Dang.

I picked up another RFT and a Fordo for openers, officially done with this wave now. WHEW!

Found all of Wave 7 at Times Square TRU minus Fordo over the weekend. I grabbed the five as those are the ones I want, but really reluctantly due to their price. Not much for selection in the city, unfortunately. It's nice to have them in hand, but if I can find them cheaper I'll definitely be returning them.

Yeah, Times Square TRU really hurts.

$11.49 a figure is really tough to stomach.  But it was the first place that I ever saw Barriss Offee and Bom Vimdim.


On a lighter note, I finally scored my final holdout from TVC wave 7, but at Target thankfully!  Logray is in the house, makin' medicine and all that.

I was shocked to find Bariss tonight at target and none of the other figures from this wave.  So now I am all set with Han and Bariss - which is good because so far those two are not being carried forward.  havent seen the others from the wave yet.

Still no signs of Wave 7 for me here in Denver. I did however pick up 5 Vintage Sandtroopers for $21 shipped from the Black Sheep Toy Store. Now if he'd only get some Rebel Fleet Troopers in...

Stopped in a collector store at the mall today just to see if he'd scarfed up anything new to put out, and low and behold he had the Dagger Squad B-Winger for $4.99, so I grabbed him.  I already had one and sold the ship, but now I can give him a squad-mate to sit with.  That was a nice unexpected find today for so cheap.

K-Mart ROCKS! They have been consistently getting in new waves of Vintage, Class 1 assortment and now the B-Wing!

I picked up:
B-Wing x2
Fixed W5 Stormtrooper
#45 Clone Trooper (Up to 56 now and climbing)
AT-RT Driver
Sirk-Fetch-Erk-Koplaw-Rot-Lop-Fan or whatever that Nikto's bame is.

Over the past two days:

2x K-Mart B-Wing
1x Rebel Fleet Trooper
1x ARC Trooper Commander

Only three more RFTs and I'll be done with that figure....

I picked today tvc 4 Lom at E .Wong in Lima, Perú at a price of S/.20.97  ;)
that means US$ 7.5 at current price. Normally toys in Lima from USA cost 2.5 times the States price.

Well, I´m glad with the offer cause I didn´t pick the tlc 4Lom, perhaps I gonna look for the original coin at retail.

I used my discount I'd acrued at K-Mart tonight and nabbed 3 extras from Vin Wave 6.

Got AT-RT Driver (first time I've ever seen him at retail at all), AOTC Clone, and Stormtrooper repack.

They had a full case though, $9.99 a pop.  WIth my discount though it was about $23 for 3 figures.  Not toooooo bad, these days.  :-\
