I ordered Evazan, Nikto, Tarkin and Kithaba (not sure which version I'll get, but hope it's red bandana) off of Amazon. 

With the 3 orders, I got Evazan alone and he came in a small cardboard folded box and he was quite protected.  Tarkin, Wedge and Kithaba came in a big box with a bit of packing and there was some creasing on Tarkin.  Kithaba was brown headband variant, so I might send him back.  Nikto was sent separately in a bubble mailer with squished bubble. 3 orders, 3 different results.  I'm an opener so it doesn't matter too much to me, but I do like to have nice cards since I keep them.

With my luck and how NYC sucks at getting anything new (and the lack of places to find it), I ordered Evazan, Nikto, Tarkin and Kithaba (not sure which version I'll get, but hope it's red bandana) off of Amazon for $12.99.  They had the EU stuff up there (Malgus, Vizla, Starkiller, Nom Anor etc.) for the same price when I ordered, but now looks like they've sold out of those figures for that price.  I'd say keep checking back.

I have a feeling that, if at all possible, Hasbro has axed those on vinty cards... 

I'll be upset if that's the case since I avoided those so I could get them on the vinty cards since that was my preferred method of getting them.     But I totally get that.  I'm tired of finding all 12 TPM figures pegwarming.

Waterloo, ia walmart.  Of course, being in the area, I hit the other one nearby since I had just been at the one two days ago and didn't expect any refreshing any time soon. 

Thanks for hooking me up with a few new figures the other night.

extras- I'm afraid my Kubrickitis is terminal, but fortunately not fatal. 

Damn... you have some I want (vinty TIE and Leia), but they are all tied up in the set.  Plus, I have three of Dlx 4 coming from Justin... if I didn't, I probably would just pick up that set.

Since we're on the Alien topic, I love the avatar, Eric.

I have yet to see Prometheus, but I've been spoiled, so no biggie to me.  I read somewhere that the Engineers were using the humans to spawn the xenomorphs so that the Engineers could figure out how to defeat them...  whether that's accurate or not, I don't know.

Shaw running around healed is more of a suspension of disbelief requirement than a plot hole (it's the future after all  ).  What are some other examples that people had problems with?  I thought it was pretty solid.

So it could be more like Luke in a bacta tank.  Quick, painless healing.
