Target was DEAD, it was me and another guy (who I assumed to be a collector) in the isle. I saw at least 3 of each figure except for the Royal Guard (Both Red and Blue). I ended up getting each fig I wanted though, so I'm happy.

Not exactly a MM, but it worked for me.

I feel like I should elaborate on this some.

I was 10 when TPM came out, so obviously no MM there, though I did pick up some figures like 3 days after they came out. In 2002 I was just getting into the Internet and was on collecting hiatus, which ended in June. So I was looking very forward to the ROTS launch.

I didn't get to go out at midnight, however, since my family had scheduled a garage sale for the morning of April 2 (we had moved a few months earlier and were selling off the junk we didn't need), so in exchange for helping out there I got a free trip to Target that afternoon. We made like $400 at the garage sale, and some was given to me for figure funds, so that was another plus.

I think all they had was 1-24 at the time, which is weird since some areas saw up to 40, but my area is slow like that. We caught up by the end of the month though. I stocked up on army builders and a few other figures I wanted. Never did see the Guards, and still haven't, except for one Red near Christmas and the KB 9 Pack. Target had everything else that was 1-24 though, along with a few cups, vehicles, Attacktix, Force Battlers, and Unleashed. I remember picking up 3 #6 Clones, 2 Battle Droids, 2 Super Battle Droids, 2 Grievous Guards, #9 Grievous, Emperor Palpatine, Chancellor Palpatine, Dooku, and C-3PO. Not much, but I'm not a completist, and I wait for the Ultimate versions of main characters.

As I mentioned over a year ago too, there was another guy there, though I wasn't paying much attention to him, I was too busy making sure I got the figs that I wanted. Afterwards I went home and had what I believe was my first online chat with Famine, then it was off to a Texas football scrimage. A very busy day, but very fun as well.

Fun times, fun times.

Oh, ****.

Endor AT-AT Revealed

The Biker Scout is new... it's the Flip Up Visor figure from the Fans Choice a few years ago. $90 for an exclusive figure? Thanks Hasbro.

 

Sounds great, but also sounds a bit too good to be true as well. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. If true, I'll be buying a hell of a lot of figures next year.

There is no way they'll ever make a scaled Infiltrator. I'll have to dig out the Episode I Incredible Cross Sections book for confirmation, but I remember seeing that Maul had a giant cockpit that could seat like 12 additional people.

I think what we'll get is a redone TIE Fighter made to look like the Infiltrator, with a Probe Droid and a Maul packed in. And you know they'll either have to pack a Maul with it or recard one, since I bet kids/newer collectors don't have one yet.

No.  I don't care how cool they are, I just refuse to start over at a whole new scale...

Bigger figures take up more space and after 10+ years of the modern stuff, I'm running out of room as it is.

One hundred percent agreed. I can't even buy the vehicles I want because of space issues.

Hot stuff. Bummer about the R2 missing, but I'll still be getting it.

Just watching the local news, the 19 year old was interviewed today. He said that the girl lied about her age, and he thought she was older, which is making him think of "taking legal action" as well. Very brief, but it helped prove that these people are idiots.

Call me crazy, but I still want the complete Droids/Ewoks cartoon series released on DVD.
