Battle of Geonosis Wave

Now that was very clever and funny

[Darth Slothus]

My WM that got the 10 cases of geo in last Saturday night is already down to 60 figs . Just can't believe they're selling THAT well.

[Ryan]

That is actually pretty impressive. 60 figures sold in less than a week, that's good for a movie year, let alone a wave full of repacks.

[Dan]

I can't find a store that puts out more than one case at a time, despite the pegs being empty. And that's checking about a dozen stores more than once a week. You live in a fortunate area-

[Jeff]

Yeah, I hear you Dan.

I can safely say that the only time I have ever been to a Twin Cities Wal-Mart that put out that many cases (10+) was Midnight Madness events.  If I stumble across someplace that puts out 2-3 cases, I consider myself extremely lucky that day... 

[Jeff]

I found a Utapau Clone at a St. Louis Walgreens today...

Wow, so by sheer dumb luck I managed to score a Scorch (the only figure they had on the pegs) at a Minnesota Walgreens when I stopped in to buy contact solution on my way home from work.

And then, the next day, you stop by a St. Louis area Walgreens to pick up some medicine and you manage to score a lone Utapau Clone Trooper.

Freaky. 

[CHEWIE]

Awesome find Jeff.   

I was a manager at Walgreens for over 3 years... they never get in full cases of figures, unless it's a movie year.  They get in just 1-3 figures at a time as their distribution centers bust up the cases and split them up.  Looks like we both got lucky in finding the clones rather than a Yoda or a Poggle.

I stopped by a local San Bruno area Walgreens to pick up a box of Trojan Magnums and a refill on my Prozac prescription and to my wonder this is what I located suspended in the child’s play thing lane:





This was the only figure they had on the pegs and praise Allah, it’s a Scorch! Finding this lone EU (which is Star Wars talk for fake) clone was kind of fortunate.  It was surrounded on the pegs by Massengill, Power Rangers, and a cuticle remover. You never know what you can find when you take the time to stop at Walgreens.

[Ryan]

Wait you found 2 red X's, or did you find a Scorch?

Wow I guess it is time to check those Walgreens, 3 clone finds at Wal-Mart in  the last few days.

Walmart's got the cheapest price on the magnums by far, don't pay the extra few bucks at walgreens.

[Ithorian Clergy]

My Walmart just put out a couple cases of the Geonosis wave.  Here's a few thoughts on this subject:

1.  The paint job on the Utapau clone grunt in my opinion is a little too fluorescent, too bright.  It looks more dull in the movie, almost like an orange with a little brown mixed in.  The paint job on this guy is easter egg orange.  I picked a couple up, but I am a little disappointed.

2.  I think Sun Fac is a generic enough geonosian that you can army build with him.  I have about 6 of him and probably will continue to buy 1 or 2 every time I go shopping.

3.  Sora Bulq and Scorch would be a lot better if they were properly articulated.  Who makes these decisions to articulate some parts and not others?  In my opinion, everything should have 14 points by now.

[Ithorian Clergy]

Look at the dull brownish-orange paint on the armor of the clones to the right or Cody:




Now look at the more fluorescent bright orange on Hasbro's figure:

[Dan]

Newforce has re-listed cases (wave 4) with 2 scorch and 2 U- troopers! You also get a couple of Yoda's and 4 Carkoon figures, but at least no Bob For-tuna!

So in your excitement of finding Scorch, you forget to pick up the rubbers and drugs? 

[Jayson]

I was thinking the same thing
