Here's what I saw at Target this morning. They did their reset:



No new figures at all, but man, was it a great feeling being the only SW collector at the store at 8am with new stuff to be found. Good times.

At one of my local Wally's today I found a ton of Zett Jakassa, Capt. Antilles, plenty of Utapaun Warriors, and a few Tarkin's (seem Tarkin was short packed in those cases but I did not see the case as I found the stuff on the pegs). Found plenty of 46 and 47, Ask Aak and Meena Tills. Tons, I mean, I stopped counting at like 25 of the AT-TE's.I also found a blue guard (left it) and 1 red guard that I picked up.
I walked away with
Clone Shock Trooper (hid from the other day)
Green Clone Commander (hid from the other day for my son)
Tarkin
Red Guard
and
Red Eye Anakin #28!
Now I can return my other #28 and get a new figure (I hate the eye shadow and that is why he was never opened as I wasn't sure if I would keep that figure).

Also, saw and passed on a Jedi vs Sith Battlepack. Anakin looks way too girlish in the face, its horrible. The Obi Wan looks horrible also, and Grevious I have one of the deluxe (best version I think) and one of the single card. That's enough. Only figure I liked was Asjaa. Only compliant on her is that her tatoo's on the side of her head are missing. So $20 for 1 figure is not worth it.

Overall, a good day. Now I need to find the Clone Evolutions 3 pack. Still undecided on the Sith one.

Good hunting.

Here's what I saw at Target this morning.

Hey, it looks kind of like my Target, with the obvious exceptions being that the shelves below the figures are empty, and there are about three times the amount of Neimoidians and Clone Pilots!  So, actually, it looks nothing like my Target.   :-\

As far as recent purchases go, I guess the Holographic Leia figure (when it arrives) will be my latest purchase, but I'm not even sure why I got that to begin with.  Caught up in the moment I guess.   :-\

Oops, I don't think that's a Red Royal Guard.  I think it's a maroon palpy.

Pretty good scores today:

Anakin Skywalker Evolutions
500th Vader (my MIMP version)
AT-RT Driver, Obi-Wan Pilot & Mustafar Sentry.

Oh, and my Holo Leia's arrived today.  ;D

Well Target this morning was the place to be.  They had a bunch of clones and by a bunch I mean like 20.  Commanders, #6, SAs and of course pilots.  Unfortunately they were all the older "variants", so I'll have to wait on the new paint schemes.  Antilles is not warming the pegs as I originally thought, he is selling as good as jedi the kid.

I am surprise how go the Sith/Jedi thing is selling.  The only figure that even looks good is Assaj, the rest are either rehashes or crap.  Look at Ani's face, pleaseeeeeeeeeeee.

Yeah, the Anakin's face is pretty bad.  I've thought about getting an extra Anakin Evolutions set just to do a head swap with this figure.

Picked Obi-Wan's Blue Jedi Starfighter at TRU today. This was at the TRU in Eatontown, NJ -- they had a stack of 'em, I would estimate about 20 or so. So I'm set with my two... Now if I could just find some new basic figures!

Picked up

2 AT RT, 2 Obi Wan Clone, 1 Shock Trooper for fellow collectors tonight.

I got the only shock trooper out of 22 cases on the Walmart Floor. The others had the all white #6. 

Watch a scalper take the 20 other AT RT's out of each case, about 12 Obi Wan Pilots, 12 Green Commanders.  Was a nice guy but I sure hate scalping.
