Cutro, over at RS, has reported that the comic packs have been pushed back until January.

Hmm, I'm actually glad to hear this. Money is tight right now anyways. This will give me a little time to recover from all of the spending now, to afford these when they hit.
I'll get one of each and an extra 4 of the Keller/Marine set. (I won't need the extra Keller's either so they will be up for trade/sale.

Good to hear that these have been pushed back to January.
Plenty to pick up this month already.
I'm hoping these won't be too hard to find. I want to score at least two of each. If I can grab a third Commander Keller/Marine set I will.

Ahhh, I can relax and cross WalMart off of places to visit for the next couple of weeks, at least.

My sentiments exactly. I'm kind of glad to see these get pushed back a bit as well. There has been more than enough spending the past month or two trying to keep up, and a break would be welcome. Now I just have to find the last 4 or so basic figures that I'm missing, and I think otherwise, I'm set for the rest of the year (unless 2008 stuff starts hitting).
-
Odds are my walmarts will never see these. Walmart exclusives have a way of never showing up at my stores.
-
I'm also glad to hear they've been pushed back. My wallet needs a break... I'll still be hitting Walmarts though I'm sure for random figures.
-
Yeah, I saw the band packs en masse last weekend. I could only wish I would have spotted the Cmdr Neyo set like that earlier in the year.
-

What is it with our region? I'd say the same exact thing.

Same thing in my area - just look to the left..

These have been found in Iowa.
-
Looks like I'm going to have to start up the lunch runs again for these... These and the McQuarrie Rebel are the last Hasbro figures I'm looking at getting...
-
I checked our local WM this morning before work, but they had the pegs packed full of older sets (from as far back as the Tarkin/Stormie Marvel set, as well as the newer Hobbie/Fel set). There won't be any peg space for these there any time soon, unless they get their own endcap or something.
-
The Walmarts in my area are pretty good for stocking their exclusives. I am sure these won't be too hard to come by in my area... though the Keller one will sell fast. I'll probably pass on the other two.
-
99% of the time my walmart does not get exclusives. The only ones they ever got were the cantina battlepacks and it looked like one case. My guess is ebay for me to get the 3 sets. :-[
-
I have to bend over backwards to find any WM exclusives - hence my glorious avatar.
Why oh Why can't you stock exclusive product while I swim in your filthy store ???

If you want, I can try and hook you up!

Hey Chewie, if that offer is for all takers, consider me in the Keller set ;D!
-
Ok, looks like two people so far. I'm wanting 4-5 of the Keller set, but will probably buy an extra 4 or so sets if I see them and offer them up.
-
The Jabba's Band sets have shown up on WalMart.com.
I consider this a very good sign for getting those Comic 2-packs.
Hopefully Hasbro didn't let WalMart get away with producing LESS of these three sets than any other comic 2-pack and they'll be on walmart.com eventually as well.
Have any case break-downs for these been determined? The standard case holds 8 sets. I could see it being 3x of the clone set, 3x of the Fett set and 2x of the Seperation of the Twins set.
-
I think the Separation of the Twins is only one per case.
-
:o AH! Man! I really need these too,but I've been having a horrible time finding anything :P I still have to get wave 4 comiv packs,and I still need 12 figs to complete TAC :(
-
I think the Separation of the Twins is only one per case.
In the first assortment. Someone on 'scum posted a revision assortment with that set at 2 per case.
-
I picked up the Keller/MArine and Fett/RA-7 sets today at Wal-Mart (Minnesota).
For a bunch of repaints, they are actually pretty nice sets. The clones are nice re-uses of good sculpts and a deal for $10. Fett is all covered in sarlaac goo, which makes him a nice unique Fett. Plus the RA-7 droid is cool too - one thing they don't do enough of IMHO is non-Astromech droids. Always nice to add another to the collection. :)
-
Bobo the clown fett and Prince's droid? No thanks. Already have Bail/Leia & Obi/Luke on saga cards. Just want 2 Keller/Marine packs.

Nice find Jeff. I'm looking forward to the trooper set and maybe Fett - is that the VOTC mold?
-

Heh Prince's droid, nice.
I'll get one of each then an extra 4 more Keller sets. Then I'll need to sell off the extra Keller's as I only want the Marines from those sets. (Anyone interested, lmk $5 per, plus exact shipping-oh and you can have the comic to for free with those if you want it. Loose those will be very cheap shipping.)

i was wondering about that. Still don't need it though. More $ saved.
-
A good friend of mine grabbed for me 2 each of the Keller and Boba Fett sets and 1 of the Sep of the Twins set.
He said there were a bunch of the first two sets but only two of the Sep of the Twins set on the pegs. Odd.

The twins sets are short packed.

Ah, that makes more sense.

Luke's eyes are open this time around, too, in case anyone cares. :)
-
One Walmart in my area got in a lot of these at once. I don't know if they'll even get a second shipment in. I picked up 6 Keller sets for myself, and 4 for friends - and there will still 10 of those left.
Went back tonight, all gone but a few Fett sets. Did hit another Wally that had one Fett and one twins set, picked the twins set up for another collector.
-
I found the wally packs today. I hit four wallies and came back with nothing. I went back to the first wally I hit with the family and the pegs were packed with them. go figure. they were 9.88 each so thankfully no price hike yet. that finishes 07 now bring on 08.
-
So it never fails, I ended up getting the Keller/Marine set from Chewie only to find about 8 at my local Wal-Mart this afternoon. I had never gone to this WM before (just moved to this area recently) and was returning some of my kids' duplicate Christmas gifts. Granted, they only had about 2 of the Boba set and none of the Twins set, but they had a ton of the Keller ones.

Wish mine had that problem. I haven't seen any of these yet. I need 5 Keller sets. :(
-
I checked this weekend, and our local WM is pretty packed with the last few waves of Comic Packs (anything from Wave 1 to the Hobbie/Fel pack). I don't know that we'll be seeing the exclusive packs anytime soon. I'd really like to get the Fett set, and probably the Keller one as well, so hopefully they won't be too tough to get a hold of eventually.
-
I just got a good look at the 3 new Wal-Mart exclusive comic packs at RS.....man they really suck big Rancor Balls! The Wookie & Trooper is a decent repaint set. But the red caped, peg warming VOTC Lando with a Blue forearm Stormtrooper is a real bottom of the barrel srappings set. How can I forget, we also have the horrible slashing Anakin with the ROTS Dooku with new cape, another peg warming homerun! In my opinion, Wal-Mart got the shaft on these 3 sets. 2 of these 3 are very easy passes for me.
What are your thoughts?
Between the Clone wars line and these sets it's becoming easier to pass on items and have more focus with my $$$$ towards large items like the AT-TE & the 25th GIJOE line.
-
*ugh* more sets exclusive to WalMart? When the regular Comic 2-pack line features some real gems, it's almost embarassing when they put out stuff like this along side it.
-
Even the Wookiee, while neat, is not great, nor is a ****** repaint of the BARC Trooper... If that's what WM wants, more power to them... The first and last sets are attrocious to me, and the middle one I wouldn't cry if I missed it.
Yay!
-
While I love the Comic Packs I can easily pass on these.
-
Lando looks pretty good, and the other two (while not terrible) are redundant for me and thus I pass with no guilt.
-
If the BARC Trooper featured a cammo deco or a green tint (LIKE EVERY OTHER Kashyyyk themed trooper to date) then that set would make sense. Right now, it looks like nothing more than a Commander Neyo figure. :-\
-
I'll pass on the Lando one. Only thing I like about the Anakin/Dooku one is the cape on Dooku. But I'll pass on it.
I will get a few of the Clone/Wookiee set. I'll use the redecoed Barc as Lieutenants for Gree's 41st Legion.
-
Those are hilarious! I will probably only want the Wookiee for the Kashyyyk diorama I'm working on.
-
Those wookies were kind of cool for the ROTS release. But nowadays they look a bit...well not bad...but they seem outdated to me. Maybe it's the articulation? Yeah, I am passing on those comic sets.
-
Yeah, I didn't think these comic packs were too impressive either. I'm likely passing on all three as well, although the Lando one might tempt me if I see it in stores. There's more than enough other stuff to pick up this year, so that makes it easier to pass on these.
-
Lando does have that Matador swashbuckling vibe going on with the red cape.....he may be worth picking up after all.
I will get the Wookie just to have more in the army but I really will pass on the other 2. Wal-Mart exclusives disappear so quick and you usually do not get a second stab at them in store but I have no doubt I do not want them.
The Droid Factory series is going to be a bitch to track down......

Well, for me if it wasn't for Walmart.com, I wouldn't have been able to score all of the first wave of WM exclusive comic 2packs. I'm not going to do site-to-store with them again 'cause they put a big sticker on the back of them, so if I have to for both this wave of Comic 2-packs and the Droid Factory sets, I'll order them online and have them shipped directly to my house.
However, something tells me that with all of these exclusives that WM is getting, Hasbro has convinced them to set up a pretty big Clone Wars section this summer. I'm sure the theatrical release of the cartoon really helped with things in that regard.
-
I absolutely adore the Marvel Comic-colored toys in both the Star Wars and GI Joe lines, so Marvel #44 is a must-buy. I can do without the other two.
-
im only picking up the lando set and the clone set. I need a good lando so of course that set is a must. and i notced since the clone has some purple on him i can use him as a commander unit for my mace windu clone squad.
-
WOW! I never expected to see so much love for Matador Lando, but more power to that set! I really thought it would be a unanimous backlash against it. Hopefully it will not end up like the Cantina Tin sets that's still in stores as we speak!
Regardless, Wally world has the best exclusives this year!
-

Well, I think it's pretty weird. I've never understood all these weird paint schemes Hasbro's coming up with for stormtroopers, even if they are from the comics. As for the Lando, I can understand people buying it for custom fodder. In fact, maybe I would :-X
I'm definitely gonna try to get a Wookiee set, but I probably won't pursue the other two.
-
I will .......PASSSSSSSSSSSSSS! There will be way to many other Comic Packs coming out that are way better then these REPACKS! Hasbro is doing me such a great favor this year, its becoming so much EASIER to pass on this stuff!
-
Looks like an easy "PASS"! Maybe next time if they include a bonus 1/1 scale Lando Mustache I'd be in for it.
-
Lando & Kashyyyk Trooper look good to me, but not very impressed with the other four. ::)
-
I can handle the Wookie, clone pack. The others look like passes to me.
-

I have a soft spot for the Marvel-styled toys too but because of the hours I spent reading those SW comics. I used to have every one of those 107 comics pinned to my wall, so any figures based on those comics are a guaranteed sell for me.
Besides, Lando's the original baddest ************ in the Star Wars universe. And now he comes with a red cape? Oh, hell yeah. :D
-
I highly doubt I will be picking these up. They do not appeal to me what-so-ever.
-
Those exclusives are lame, and that Stormtrooper is horrid.
-
These sets, for once, I'm glad my walmarts will never see them. My walmarts never get exclusives and I'm glad they are not getting these as well. Oh course, for those that really need all walmart exclusives I suggest their online order and store pickup service. They ship your item to a store for free for you to pickup.

I see the guys over at Yak have some new pics of the second round of Wal-Mart Comic Packs...
(http://www.yakface.com/2008/june/08walmartCPs/012.jpg)
(http://www.yakface.com/2008/june/08walmartCPs/010.jpg)
It sounds like they are hitting various parts of the USA... anyone find them yet?
If so, can anyone explain the differences/changes to the Anakin/Dooku set figures? They were supposed to be "more than just repacks", but I can't recall exactly what paint/deco changes were going to happen to them.
-
I was looking at a shot of the Anakin/Dooku set from an ebay auction, and couldn't tell a single thing that was different just by eyeballing it. I'm very glad I only want the Wookiee/BARC Trooper set. Take a couple of those if I find them I think.
-
I hate my walmart, i will have to track them down someway though.
-
The Anakin/Dooku set are repaints. Dooku's outfit is black with a red belt and all of Anakin's colors are dark, dark brown bordering on black. Both are the ROTS carded molds.
-
I saw pictures of the them on some otheR Site, the Kashyyyk one looks kinda cool. I know its a repack with different accessories of the Preview Wookiee from ROTS and basically Neyo with different armor, but its pretty cool looking. I especially like how the wookiee is holding what look to be Battle Droid arms, you know they've been known to pull your "arms out of your sockets when they lose..."
-
I actually was wondering if those were accessories, or added by the photographer for dramatic effect. I would dig them as accessories though for sure.
-
The otheR Site had packaged photos that clearly show the droid arms in the Wookiee's hands. I agree it is a neat accessory.
-
Too cool. I really like that set. :)
-

They're definitely accessories. I picked the set up today, and the Wookiee comes with two battle droid arms. Plus the Wookiee has a clearly different paint app scheme from the TFU Battle Pack Wookiees.
-
Both good things to know... Make the set a bit more appealing, though honestly it was the only appealing set to me out of all 3 of them, so I guess it didn't matter. But still, droid arms... That's a nice touch.
-
Just a question, how well does the clone mix with Mace Windu purple clones? Do the colours match? Because I was kinda hoping to use this clone as a squad leader.
-

Yeah, that was going to be my intent too. I'd make that Purple Clone the Commander of all of Mace's forces. Then I wouldn't need to army build this set. (Though if I do, it would only be 5 sets tops).
-
Picked up a mess of them today at a WalMart on my way to work.
Grabbed sets for myself and my friend, they put out two of those trays in the picture from YakFace, I grabbed all of the Kashyyyk sets (10 in total), one tray's worth of the Lando/Stormtrooper set (5) and three of the Anakin/Dooku set.
These are pretty nice, the real gem is the Kashyyyk set. I will also be checking to see if the purple color matches with the stuff we have for Mace Windu - I'm hoping it does 'cause that's where I was going to put them - in with Mace's squad of clones.
-
Picked up the Kashyyyk set today passed on the other two. I think the purple on the clone is darker then Mace's clones.
Have to pull my clone are put them side by side to confirm
-
I saw all of these at our Wal-Mart this weekend, just stocked with the regular comic packs. They seemed to have plenty of all three, at least at that time.
EDIT: Just thought I'd pass along a bit of info about the Lando/Stormie set, since a lot of people will likely pass on it. For some reason, I just felt like picking one up, and got a chance to open it last night and noticed that Lando's cape (which is red on the inside now) has the wire at the bottom similar to the O66 Jedi robes). Just thought I'd pass that along if anyone was interested.

Thanks for the info Brian. The Marvel figures have actually been my favourites, so Lando/Stormie may be the only one I grab from this wave. I really like that wired-cape used previously, so it's nice to know Hasbro's using it again.
-
Anyone finding the 3 Walmart sets in excess who has the urge to pick up a set for me so i can avoid paying that little extra that they are going for on ebay?
-
Evenflow,
Anywhere near Freehold? That Wally had them hanging off the pegs.

bit of a hike, at least hour. Dont think i will be able to hit that one up. Thanks though.
-
So i found the Lando set, all i need is the wookie set so if anyone finds one and wants to pick it up for me just let me know.
-
Evenflow,
I'll hit a few walmarts this week and see if they are still there, If they are grab one for you. email you if I find them, they were there last week hopefully they still are. One Question are you a MOC collector or are you an opener and don't mind the condition of the card? let me know
Chris
-
I am a MOC guy but not not one that has to have it perfect just in good condition. Thanks for looking ;D
-
I saw these for the first time on a rare trip to Wal-Mart yesterday. They had plenty of the other two, but none of the Wookiee set. I can't say the Lando set wasn't tempting in person, but I still passed on it.
-
I have a set of three for $40 plus shipping if anyone still needs 'em. Otherwise they're headed back to the store.
