Hey, TRU is far more at fault here, but I truly believe Hasbro has mismanaged this brand. Then it turns around and blames us.
Pete and I can tell you how bad it's been in our area. And when he's seen a Hasbro rep, he's given him/her what for. They know not what they do.

All the new deluxe look tight. Will they rerelease any on new card?

Got my TRU.com order of four more Firefighter Droids yesterday - that means I'm done with Clone Wars until August!!!! Yeah!!!

Thre three I got from anotheR Site came Thursday, so I'm done with the exception of another AT-RT I'd like.

At the store I started at, endcap meant that the two EU cases they had were sitting in the box on the shelf of the endcap.
These people (Hasbro, Toys R Us) don't care. They don't want to be bothered. To them, it's still 2007.

Put me in the camp happy to hear these are only $30...  I really expected higher than that.  $30, not so bad considering what you get.  I was wanting 2 of each set too, so that eases some financial pains I was expecting there too. 

Can't wait to get those and the EU figures out of the way.  Then a nice casual Summer not spending money on gas hunting for stuff.  I can relax, maybe put a little extra into the house or something.  I need a new computer too, so maybe 2010's the year for that to happen actually.

$30 is good. I just hope we can find them now.

I would hold out a bit more. This weekend was the first time I saw all four battlepacks from that case at once in the same store. So they are still shipping.

I'm in the same area as Pete and I have seen them several times, particularly at Toys R Us.

I don't think corporate executives actually care enough to check out local stores even if they actually knew their was a case of toys that had a shelf date. That's someone a lot lower on the food chain's job if there was a position at all. I think store managers are pretty much left on their own as long as the store makes a profit. No one cares outside the store's stockboys.

...or us.

Hey Jayson - did you have to ask for the case to be brought out or was it sitting on the floor waiting to be stocked?

It was a sealed case in the employee's hands waiting to be put on the pegs.

Wow! Not where Pete and I attempt to find figures. :-\

Anyone spot these at a Walmart yet?

Not a single one has shown up locally at TRU or Target, starting to get concerned...

I've seen a bunch between three TRUs. If you need, I could pick up for you.

Excellent ship. This is the best of what the deluxe should be. The worst: Obi-Wan speeder w/ sidecar. C'mon!

They indicated on the slides that the two Comic 2-pack convention exclusives will be "very limited" did they indicate how limited?

I mean they indicate they will be available on both Hasbro Toy Shop and Star Wars Shop, so how limited could they really be?

Is this going to be like trying to order the Sideshow Exclusive 12" figures on the days they go up on the Sideshow site?

My thoughts exactly. They keep giving these answers specifically aimed at producing panic. It's not right.

The new Obi Wan w/Cold Weather Gear, Magna Guard, Clone Trooper w/Cold Weather Gear and the Firefighter Droid figures are previewed in the current issue of Toyfare (152).

The clone is actually Cody. I pray they make the generic 501st snow outfit.

I believe the clone is actually Rex.  ;)

Whoops! I'm so used to saying Cody because of his association with Obi-Wan from Episode III. Sorry.

Yaaay! Mine arrived today. First mail-away promotion I've ever participated in. I hope these continue into the future.

Sent a check Monday and it was cashed Thursday.
