See I was going to buy the Zillo Beast Battle Pack but only really wanted the Yoda, and ended up putting it back once I found some TVC figs I needed. I did a price check and I think they rang up at $22 something too, yet the signs all over the place said $17 whatever. There were two different signs for Legends/CW figs too, one had them at 30% off, the other 10% so I was ready to argue for the lower price if it came to that at the register.

Our stores put out nothing for the new sale because they just do not want people's money apparently. All this stuff about "Stores have held back stock for this special event" is a load of BS, IMO. It's a wasteland.

All the Wave 6 was "new" here, and lots of CW/Legends stuff that wasn't there as well...  I'd guess they held that stuff back, but "new" was from a certain POV I guess. ;)

TRU is slinging out the coupons like crazy!  Yesterday I got a for one day only (yesterday) $5 off coupon when you spend a combined total purchase of $25.

Today I got a 20% off one single item coupon good from 9/22-9/25

They are doing a pretty decent job at getting me to buy things from them again.

HTS is still only selling by the case?  Hasbro said in the Q&A that they would continue to offer single figures for sale as well - wtf?

Maybe they're waiting until they fix the case assortments in 2012 before they go back to that.  Because right now, HTS would sell through fast with the new/good figures, and then lose money on the ones that would just sit there.

I noticed it is back up (shipping 6-8 days).  I just got a case of these via BBTS, and although there are only a handful of new figures in there, the repacks really aren't too bad.  I'd like to get some extras of Walrus Man and the Echo troop, so I was almost tempted to get another case, but I really don't need all those extras.  Hopefully they'll turn up at retail eventually, especially with Hasbro possibly cleaning up some of the pegwarmers out there.

Should be fine to use coupons on top of it too.
