Picked up Ackbar at Walmart. Left Lando. No Royal guards.

I've seen a total of 3 ERGs...and those were on Force Friday around midnight.  One guy took two and I got the remaining one.  Since then it's been nothing but Landos (I took one of those as well) and Ackbars.  Great figures, but probably should have been packed a bit lighter in the case.

I'm also seeing a few FO Stormtroopers here and there...kind of nice for the army builders.
This is the way.


I have spoken.

As I guessed, none of my Walmarts had these on the shelves when they were supposed to. They were all sold beforehand despite their being barred from sale before 9/30 or 10/2 depending on whom you believe.

How do you know they were sold?  I don't think a few of the WM's near me have gotten theirs yet.

My bad. Sold or stashed. I held some in my hands, local friends texted pictures during the week prior representing all four of the Walmart's near me in the San Fernando Valley, so we know they had 'em. None of us were able to purchase them. None of those stores had them on the selves since. I know some were stashed and picked up later and one of the hot wheel guys bragged about using Finn to purchase a full case.

I ordered two cases of the online only wave, the second case solely to get a second Royal Guard. I ended up selling the extra Ahsoka to McMetal, popped it in a bubble mailer and it apparently got crushed in transit to him. Always felt bad about that one so I'm glad he has a chance to get a MOC one (or for me to make that one up to him).

Wow, I had almost forgot about that! No worries, I got another one today.  ;D

Fantastic!  :D

How have the paint jobs been on these? I found ERG, Lando and Ackbar over the weekend and grabbed the two ERGs the store had. One was perfect but the other had the visor kind of off. Not as bad as any of the FO Stormtroopers though. Didn't look at Lando or Ackbar since I have the TVC versions.

Has brickseek changed its code for stock checking?

So if I took one of the ERG's and I used the alternate helmet and weapon and put that cowl-like around his neck, who is that supposed to be?  I have a few of these now and was thinking it would make sense to display one as the 'other' character?

You would have a super-articulated version of the Royal Guard Trainee dudes from the Crimson Empire comicseries. 

Personally, I like to call him Fred.

Okay, that was kind of my guess based on the helmet, weapon, and shoulder thing, but I wasn't sure because of the cloak.  Thanks!

Seems like this wave is making a comeback. I've been to 3 Walmarts over the last week for various reasons and I've seen maybe 20 Landos, 20 Ackbars, 2 Ahsokas, and 0 ERGs. They have to be new because I never saw this wave locally, and haven't seen it period since I grabbed my set in a small town WM shortly after Force Friday 2016.

Gives me hope that we'll see more of the Rogue One figures and the Proto Fett wave eventually.

So this means some people are still buying up all the Ahsokas and Royal Guards...even at $13?  ::)

I'm over this Royal Guard... it's all about that new Target 3-Pack version for me.  I've bought 8 of them so far.
