I haven't bought anything since Saturday, but not because of the lack of trying. I'm still in need of a few items. But my question is, are they even re-stocking? The stores I've hit haven't seemed to restock since Saturday morning.
I think I may go back and get Vader's Med Droid...

You haven't actually seen that figure around here yet, have you Ant'? If so, shoot me a PM and LMK where, since I've yet to have a sniff of #'s 37-40 around SoCal yet.
...you passed up the AT-TE Gunner... oh I think I'm gonna be sick. :)
:P
Target did some mild restocking this weekend, so I picked up another #6 Clonetrooper (first one I've seen at the "Big 3" of Target/WM/TRU since 4/2), and also got the final cup set I was missing, the Grievous one. Target had two of this one, but none of the others. I don't know if it is the same in other areas, but Target seems to be the only one of the big retail places that is moving their ROTS product with any regularity. I'm sure some stuff sells at Wal-Mart too, but with as much product as they have in, and the general chaos of their toy/figure section, it doesn't look like anything moves. TRU looks about the same to me as it did on 4/2 :).
Picked up Vader's Medical Droid, AT-TE Tank Gunner, Polis Massan and Mas Amedda at a Kohls on Wednesday - they had the price of the figures down from $7.99 to $5.99.
I bought two each of the Medical Droid, Polis Massan and Mas Amedda and then I grabbed all six of the AT-TE tank gunners they had.
Thanks to Bob Dylan SW Fan, I found the Super Art Clone, Wookiee and Neimoidian at TRU tonight (along with all of the figures 32-40 which I left except for an extra AT-TE and the Chopper Droid which I hadn't bought yet, and Red Saber Palpatine).
The only bummer was arriving late at Target, I missed some third wave stuff, A hot Wheel guy bought them. >:(
It's so weird. There are literally TONS of commanders and pilots on the shelves at Target and WM here. No Tank Gunners, but I have to wonder how long that will last.
I'm real disappointed in Palpy too. He would have been a lot better if only he had ball jointed shoulders. He can't even stab and electrocute somebody at the same time. :(
Unleashed Stormie
2 Tank Gunners from Amazon
The Wookiee is very cool, although mine's right arm keeps coming apart at the elbow joint and I'm still trying to figure out what the hell that totem pole thing is used for.

I think that totem pole thing is a shield.
Just went into Target and got:
Deluxe Clone
Cancell
2 SA Clones
Neimoidian
They had all the new stuff; several op table Vaders; surprisingly, a TON of SA clones. Now I'm flat broke. ;D
BTW, all the new Wookiees were light brown. I didn't get any. I'm going to wait and see what color(s) I get in my HasbroShop order. Seeing all those tan ones there, I'm hoping I get 2 dark ones. Then I'll go back for a tan one, as I'd kind of like 2 dark and 1 light.
Redlands. I would've bought extras, but I spent my last dime and maxed my credit card on this stuff.Just went into Target and got:

Which Target was this?
And I cannot get the small weapon in their hand to save my life. Oh well.
That's nothing to ashamed about. I doubt they will ever go to clearance. I have a hard time not buying one everytime I see them. I'm up to 4 already. I figured that since I saw 12 x-wings, I can still play catch up.
Surprisingly, found 3-4 of the #41 Clonetrooper yesterday at Wal-mart, so I picked another one up. At another point, I might have picked up more...but I'm trying to keep the spending under control right now, and plus, there just weren't that many white ones actually on screen in this movie anyways. It is a really nice figure though. Our Wal-Mart seems to be scaling back on the Star Wars. The "feature aisle" display is not split in half, with Fantastic Four inhabiting the other side (which was previously filled with Legos, Attacktix, game controllers, and misc. stuff like that).
Blue Saber Palpatine out of a one of the TRU dump buckets. Sitting in the bottom and as I walked up the blue saber caught my eye. As I got a closer look, I realized what I was looking at and started digging though 4 feet of toys to get to it.
Hope you didn't pay too much for that custom cuda033. ;)
I picked up the Boba and Yoda cups on Thursday. Yeaaa!
Found the wookie helicopter today at Target. They also had all the deluxe figures including 4 white 3-packs. They had BBQ Ani and R2 but no Bacara. They had 16 Anis, so I guess somebody went crazy on the Bacaras. I thought Bacara had less arituclation than the clone commander, does he? Is he that cool?
I just want to know..I live in Virginia and I want to know if they have released Commander Bacara because I haven't seen any here?
9 White clone 3pks
7 blue clone 3 pks
thinking of returning them though. they kind of suck.
Before you return them, if you have an all-white 3-pack that is Mint-on-Mint-Card, I'd be happy to send you money for it plus money for shipping. I can't find the all white pack ANYWHERE in NJ - all I keep seeing is the color variant ones!
Crap. I just returned my all-white extra (MOMC) a couple days ago. I'll keep an eye out for another one for ya' Pete. Do you have the Red and Green 3-packs out there? I've never seen those out this way. Might come begging for some help soon if you do...

3 other figures that I believe are 2 Vaders and 1 Grevious but I could not be sure. Reason is there was a Dad there with his two sons and I told them about the new stuff. The oldest son collects the Galatic Heros, but then we opened up cases (there were 5 of the 85173A009 and 3 of the second one I listed) and each son took 1 of the Green Clone Commander, the AT-RT Driver, the Shock Trooper and the Obi Wan Pilot. Then one took an Anakin on Mustafar. The coolest thing was I had my 11 year old son with me and as we were walking out to the car, my son said "Dad, that is a great feeling to help others get excited about our hobby!" Let me tell you, I was extremely proud of my son.
Picked up the Jedi vs Sith Battlepack today at Walmart.
Weird how your case didnt have the QD Shocktrooper. He's supposed to come with the Green Commander.
Here's what I saw at Target this morning.
at least there is a lonesome red guard
Yeah, the Anakin's face is pretty bad. I've thought about getting an extra Anakin Evolutions set just to do a head swap with this figure.
:P
Picked up an Arc-170 for $14.99
I can't find a damned thing. >:(
Not a purchase but some info I thought I would pass on. I noticed that the southern and northern California locations on various boards are reporting finding the Mustafar Sentry at Walmart. Seems he is in with cases of Obi Wan Pilot and AT RT but the rest of the case is repacks. This is one I am passing on so hope the info helps.

2x Mustafar Sentry
2x AT-RT Driver
2x Darth Vader

Found one of each clone commanders at WM yesterday and counldn't resist picking them up for $2.94 each.
Did ppl who found the EVO Clones got both variants?

Are they marked down at all of them or just one store?
Pete, any indication on quantity of pieces? 2345 of 25,000 listed on the case for example?

The KMART AIM# is the equivelant of the TARGET DCPI#.

WOW awesome deal Robb was it from ebay? or sum secret site that you would like to share ;)
very impressive KBZ with the Clone EVO, did u get a find grey variant? im interested in one ;D
Well i picked up 2 Jedi Temple Assault pack and a Shocktrooper. and i got the Chewbacca M&M cup from Target. 8)
Holy crap
Wandered into Walmart this am and picked up Zett and the Utapaun Warrior. Got Obi pilot, Mustafar Sentry and Antilles from Dave in the mail.
No big deal right? Well, aside from the black pilot, I actually have one of every figure (which ends up being one of almost every figure) I want anyway. I'm missing a couple of Jedi, Anakin/Obi in the 20's, Mon Mothma and Padme but otherwise I'm up to date. How the hell did that happen?
With the help of Darth Slothus, I picked up two K-Mart JTA sets. Whew! I can stop whining about that one now.
Hey Ook. How much was it to get into that exhibit?
Score! Colletion 1 wave 7 broke at Walmart! I got all by Gree from the assortment with #57 - #63.
So I wonder what's so big about Oct 1st?

Pics please!
tonite picked up ( in a ****** Hasbro assortment COLL 1 WAVE 7/REV 2) has only 3 new figs x1 57, x1 58, x1 59( which I took all 3 of course)
also visited KB to get ecl. 9 pack (checked that one off the list)
I'm severely dissapointed that Hasbro is trying to repush all their pegwarmers back on us again instead of giving us multi's of the new product :(
The solid cases of Vader is a disaster waiting to happen. He's popular, for sure, but I don't think shipping him 12 to a case along side cases he's 2 or 3 in is necessary.
Solid cases, huh? Shouldn't they have done that during the movie's summer and not at its end....
those AWESOME clamshell things have yet to sell to anyone.

And I take it that the Collection 2 "find" that GH posted a few days ago is looking like BS more and more? Has anyone actually found these?
got a plo koon fighter 8) and almost got the two lava figures from a nice lady but the toy manager took it away from me saying it'll be out on the 16th :'(
I ran the numbers for the Target Exclusives today and all were in stock, but they refused to get me a set.
There are posters throughout the Figure aisle stating they will not locate collectibles out of the back for customers. Pretty lame. I can see if I requested multiples but I only wanted one. Fear of selling on ebay or flea markets at inflated prices. I told them I wouldnt be getting too rich on a couple figs.
I'm not horribly un-impressed.
I proceeded to do the worst customization ever on his skirt. One steak knife, one extremely shaky hand, and a Plo Koon skirt later, Plo Koon can now sit in his JSF without difficulty, although his belt is a little on the ragged side. ;D
when you wait , you're late-GL next week
This morning was fairly productive...
4 x Tactical Operations Clone Troopers
2 x Holo Plo Koon
2 x Holo Aayla Secura
2 x R4-P17
1 x Wookiee Heavy Gunner
2 x "Sith eyes" Anakin Skywalker
1 x AT-RT Driver
1 x Mustafar Sentry
1 x Utapauan Warrior
1 x Lava reflection Obi-Wan Kenobi
1 x Lava Reflection Darth Vader
1 x Plo Koon starfighter
1 x Clone Attack on Coruscant Battle Pack
1 x Yoda palmtalker
1 x Darth Maul palmtalker
...and that was just between 3 stores! ;D
A local Walmart put out the 3 packs that come out with the DVD today. The Clones in Gold went pretty quick.
Gold clones? What did I miss?
Oh, and I STILL can't find the stinking Commander Cody! >:( Why?? I look EVERY DAY!!!! >:(
Was able to get 5 Tac Ops, Both Holo Jedi, BK Mace and BK Obi Wan through a trade. ;D
Oh, the hunt for BK toys..... :-\
Oh yeah, I got 2 gray Clone Evos today.
Just picked up 2 Shadow Troopers. ;DGrumble, grumble, grumble.
Just picked up 2 Shadow Troopers. ;DGrumble, grumble, grumble.
I did find 2 501st's today.
I guess they didn't get the "final 5" but are the other figures from this wave not showing up in some cases?
I got the Commander Bly and Gree variants, plus a extra Shadow Trooper for the heck of it.
Though I don't have every figure in the ROTS line, I have every figure I'm interested in and as such I finally feel all caught up in the line. Now onto TSC 2006...
I got the Commander Bly and Gree variants, plus a extra Shadow Trooper for the heck of it.
Are they really different from the first ones?
As for me I picked up another Gray Clone Evo, Shadow Trooper and a R4 for a Xmas present.
Picked up a set of the Clone Wars dvd 3 packs today. ;D
Is the Plo Koon fighter on clearance too?
got some SA clones for Secret Santa ;)
Would still like to see what the Bly variant looks like but hope has almost faded on that.

Found a Wookiee Heavy Gunner in a return bin at Walmart for 4 bucks. ;D
I got a 500th edition Darth Vader figure from Wal-Mart for $5. I though it was funny, because they had the Hoth Vader, which is the same figure, for $6.63.
Picked up a Ask Aak from Target today for 1.99. I could of gotten it for cheaper as it didnt ring up but oh well. ;D

Hehe yeah. It would of been better had it been a 501st though. ;D
Randomly found a spider droid at WM today for $3. Had to pick it up.
Picked up a couple of the JTA BPs at Kmart after work. I almost didn't do it though with that $29.99 price tag :o.
Picked up a JTA set today. I wonder if it was stock from last summer or if Hasbro did another run of them.
I'm going to do some online shopping for more Revenge of the Sith items.
