Yikes, he got 20 AT-RT drivers?  Good God.  That's just sick.

I was able to get 2 AT-RT drivers and 2 of the Shocktroopers tonight at a Walmart.  Big relief finding the Shocktroopers.

Yeah, what sucks about it is the stocker is really cool but he did not want all 22 cases opened because they were having to take a good part of them to the back. The stocker opened about 10 cases and said 12 had to go back. So I got what I needed to cover local collectors, and then left. I came back and the scalper had opened all the cases and was taking ALL of the AT RT. I hope the stocker doesn't now turn around and stop opening cases for us, and helping us out.  Only consoluation is that he kept saying how nervous he was that these would not sell or sell at a profit. Here's hoping they hit everywhere in sufficient quantity that ebay is not a factor and that he has to return them. Looking at ebay that just might be the case.

Heh. I'm so far behind it's just pathetic.

Today my first ROTS purchase in quite some time--the TRU MegaBuy 2-pack with Mas Amedda and Agen Kolar.

I was able to pick up a few figures this weekend at Target....#51 Captain Antilles, #52 Zett Jukassa, and #53 Utapaun Warrior.  They had a couple of the first two, but the Warrior seems to be the best seller of this wave...I got the last one.  Otherwise, nothing much else new...no signs of Evolutions here yet, and I haven't seen the clone repaints either.  There did seem to be some more #6 (white) clones, Vaders, and a Grievous show up that I hadn't seen for quite some time.  Target seems to be the only place I find anything new anymore, Wal-Mart is stuck in a bit of a glut right now...at least ours is.

Well I picked up 51-53 and the Jedi vs. Sith battlepack this morning at Target. I was hoping for the clone repaints as well but no luck. I hit up 2 targets, but the second one had nothing new.

Today was hunting by default, looking for supplies we need for camping the rest of the week.

1 Target had not reset but had put out the Wookie Flyers. Passed on that, way to big IMO.

Other Target  had reset and SW had 1 end cap, and about 20 pegs in the Toy isle. They had 2 Jedi vs. Sith Battlepcks, 1 500th Vader left, and the build your own lightsaber. I swore off buying a Jedi vs. Sith Battlepack, but I was right, my son REALLY wants one so I'll know what I'll be buying soon.  The regular figures were worked through so if they had put out anything new either scalpers or hopefully a few collectors got the new stuff.

Nothing new at Walmarts.

You are never alone when there's a clone.

My buddy picked up an extra Obi-wan fighter for me Yesterday and my visiting Brother picked up a set of the Disney Wave four figures for me. They didn't have the Micky 2 pack though.
