Snagged Boba Fett at the super-shady K-Mart across town today, still on sale for $17.59 too.

The Clone Wars '08-'13 / Re: Recent Clone Wars Finds/Purchases
« on: April 25, 2014, 01:16 PM »
I have pretty much cleared out all of the 5 Belows around here of any interesting TCW figures other than Anakin or Yoda, but I did find a few still on the pegs at Tuesday Morning today for $6.99. Not as great as $5, but I picked up another Phase I Clone Trooper for kicks.

The Vintage Collection / Re: $5 Vintage Collection @ Five Below
« on: April 25, 2014, 08:23 AM »My local Five Below had no Joes at all, but they did have the Celebration 4 exclusive McQuarrie Concept R2-D2 and C-3PO. $5 each, still in clamshell packaging.
As luck would have it, I actually spied a couple of these at Tuesday Morning yesterday as well. I believe they were $5.99 there.

That picture looks cool. What kind of music is Ghost?

It's not actually all that hard if you have a more or less full case to pick from. I'm not sure what the distribution of figures is per case, but I was able to pick up all of them without any trouble at all really. Just time consuming.
Has anyone heard if there are any mini-sets planned for release around May 1? Or is that just the official drop date for the mini-figs?

Only 1 of our stores around here got those, and I was amazed how fast they sold...only took a couple of days. Still had the Celebrations sticker on them and everything. I debated picking one up but they looked like poor fodder for customizing.

The Amazon page I have bookmarked currently shows $34.99 with free shipping. It has definitely started coming down a bit the past 2 weeks.
Wish HTS and TRU.com would get their acts together though.

Wow, surprised they resurrected that. Seems like a weird day and time for that show though, they really need to move all of their animated original programming to the Sunday night block.
Where's my new episodes of Squidbillies, Aqua Teen and Metalocalypse?

1:6 Scale Figures and Collectibles / Re: Disney Exclusive 12" Electronic Figures
« on: April 23, 2014, 09:11 AM »
These do not look like 12" figures to me...they seem larger. I would guess 18" or better.
I don't like the shiny hard plastic look either. It's not so bad on the Stormy and Vader but it makes the humans look like ceramic figurines.
Guessing these will only be available at Disney stores anyway, so an easy pass for me.

Saw the new screaming Hudson/Xeno 2-pack today at TRU for the first time.
Looks like the alien is exploding with mud or possibly chocolate milk. I don't get their obsession with brown tones for those guys...

Saw a HUGE display of the newest wave this morning at TRU...they must have had 5-6 of each Jaeger and nearly as many Kaiju. So beautiful...
Alas, I have them all already and my spare Cherno, so I left emptyhanded, but it was a nice vote of confidence in the line to have bumped it up, the previous waves only hit 2 cases deep at most.

Went back to TRU over the weekend and picked up the rest of their Separatist Speeder Deluxe Sets for $6 a pop. No more Clone Wars at that store!

LEGO / Re: Simpsons

I completed my Wave 1 collection tonight with the final 8 figures, and no dupes among the lot. Took me about 30 minutes this time around, some of those guys like Ralph and Milhouse were tricky. But it all paid off in the end. The Walmart price reduction ends Sunday apparently, so I was happy enough to have the lot for $50 total all said and done.
So are Target/TRU/Walmart gonna carry the house too?

I picked up 8 of the 16 new minifigs tonight at Walmart. I probably could have gotten more but 20 minutes of fondling was enough for me. 
I only guessed wrong on one as it turns out, thought I had Mr Burns but somehow ended up with Maggie. Maybe I just picked up the wrong bag, I had like 3 different piles going...(need, don't need, can't tell) It felt a little creepy but what the hell, better than ending up with a bunch of dupes.
Anyway, these are freaking awesome and I definitely plan on going back when I have more time and picking up the rest tomorrow. Even better, they all rang up at $2.97 because of some kind of discount due to an ad discrepancy on another Lego item.

The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars Episode VII
« on: April 17, 2014, 02:11 PM »
Im not liking the Ben thing if true, I think if he had had a child with anyone it would have been Satine. But more to the point, it just changes his character significantly I feel like. He was always the classic warrior monk, live-by-the-code type guy. I also don't like the idea that he would have abandoned his kid, or even been oblivious about her. Plus how does that fit in the whole timeline? Would have had to have been on Tattooine right?
They should have just made her Lando's daughter and made things simpler.
