Does anyone know if Walmart or GameStop are getting Wave 2?

I opened my Dewback last night only to find it has a horrible blemish on the head, looks like some kind of abrasion. It's too ugly to tolerate so now I have to go find another one to exchange, ugh.

Mission for the day complete: I got a nice new Dewback from Walmart and it looks great. This beast is really fantastic, articulated as a mofo. Hopefully we've covered all the pauldrons now...black, white, orange, grey.

Problem is finding space for this thing on the same shelf as my landspeeder.

I want a Tarkin for my T man focus but man I saw nada of this line but the Kylo centerpiece and Dewback.  The Kylo CP is another one that might work as well for 4” as it does 6” when it’s on clearance.

The thing that strikes me odd about this Centerpiece set is that the one figure you need to complete the scene (Poe) wws released 2+ years ago and clearanced out as a Target exclusive. That doesn't work well for those who never got Poe.

I went out of town today for a spring college football game and we hit a local Walmart beforehand to get water. I hit the jackpot, finding the entire 6 inch wave priced at the $5 clearance prices! Of course I grabbed everything.

I'll probably return the Tarkin I got at Gamestop for $23, unless someone here needs one

If you had told me this morning when I woke up that I would be buying 11 6" Jyns and Cassians today, I'd have called you crazy.  :P

But then my local Walmart went and dropped the price on their Black Series 6" figs to three cents. THREE CENTS! ($0.03)  :o

So yeah I had to clean them out at that price. I already had a bunch of these but who cares. That may be the best deal I've even gotten on any Star Wars toy, or any toy for that matter! :)

I've seen reports pop up about this at RS too, so it must be a nationwide thing...happy hunting!

I stopped by my local ThinkGeek store today.  They had lots of the first wave of Solo figures, along with LOTS of Han's.  I saw the reissued Jawa as well as the Death Squad Commander, and the facial printing looked awesome.  I wound up getting the SOLO version of Lando.

I got Han, Lando, Range Trooper, Tarkin, Death Star Trooper and Jawa all for $5 each today!

I also found the 6”scale porgs and 4-LOM. Saw the black series Vader helmet.

$4 First order Snowtrooper. Marked over UPC.

Funny, looking on ebay, these things aren't worth much.

I’ve been out of the Star Wars collecting game for a little while, but recently picked up the new Han, Lando, Tarkin, Range Trooper, Death Star Trooper, and have a Dewback arriving soon.  Fantastic figures all around!

I found a 40AC Death Squad Commander on sale at TRU for 40% off.  For $12 it was well worth getting.

All the Walmarts around me have raised their prices on 6" figures back up to $17.97 except for one, which I happened to check this morning and lo and behold, they turned out to be the first and only store I've seen yet that has put out this Solo shipper. No Tarkins, but they had nearly two full cases of everyone else from Wave 1. Yep, three cents a piece.  :D

Walmart doesn’t know if it’s shot at and missed or **** at and hit.

Got a shipping notice for the 6" Qi'ra I ordered off HTS a few weeks back...should be here today.  ;D

Sure wish they would put 4-LOM up because I am all but convinced this wave will never show up at retail. Baze/Chirrut Pt 2.

Which is weird since Qi'ra is in the same wave as 4-LOM.
