Just thought I'd start a thread here for folks to brag about their recent TSC buys. Similar to the episode three recent purchases thread that I like to view so I know when to start hitting the stores
-
The stores around me have so much ROTS stock that there has been no sign of the "final 5". Therefore, I'd just like to preemptively post that when you all start finding the 1st wave of TSC I will not be finding them for like 3-4 months after that... :P
-
Some stores in my area are well stocked with ROTS, others are not. So who knows... I am sure that TSC will start leaking in before Christmas at some locations though.
:P
-
I just noticed that rishakra and CHEWIE's avatar gifs are very similar in theme.
Do you guys shop at the same kid getting hit in the head with a ball gif shop? ;D
-
I was actually inspired by CHEWIE's gif. The way that kid arches his back after getting popped in the head. :D Man that is too funny!
-
Agreed! Priceless! ;D
Back to topic- I just found the Carkoon Wave at TRU in Toronto Canada!
We aren't getting the fianl ROTS 12 up here, but at least there is something for under the tree this year. ;D

Nice find, Tedious! Pretty cool that these showed up north of the border already. 8)

Pretty uncool they have the ****** Canadian non-picture cardbacks though.

Hey! >:(

Actually, I don't mind them. For OTC, I preferred the US picture cardbacks over CDN starbursts (and collected US), but the star background works well here. It doesn't distract from the figure.
-
The starburst cards are sought out by international collectors. :P
-
The starburst cards are sought out by international collectors. :P
Cause they look better. ;D

For sure. I am an opener, but I keep my packaging. These work out pretty good for me because I only have to keep 1 card per wave.
BTW, DSJ, your avatar is mesmerizing... :)

Hey Aaron, nice score! Is it unusual for you guys to score stuff first?
-

Hey! >:(
Heh, sorry if I offended you. I just don't like 'em is all.
-
Oh no offence taken. ;) I do like the pictures on the cardbacks, trying to get a complete set of Canadian carded is a bitch at times tho. :-\

Or two lava lamps...
Anyway, yeah, Canada misses out a lot on distro. For one thing we don't have Target up here of K-Mart, so all those exclusives never make it this way. :(
Hasbro Canada is not distro-ing the final 12 ROTS figs up here either. I think that's why we just happened to get TSC so soon. It has happened a few times before that the final wave of a line didn't come up here to regular stores. Transitional OTC wave comes to mind as well.
As far as getting stuff first, unless there is a solid release date like with the ROTS line, things usually show up State-side first and slowly filter their way up here.
That answer long enough for ya? ;D
-
Damn...beaten. I scored Bib at a con today. :D I never do that, but I haven't been out to one in a while and I was in a buying mood... All done with ROTS, and...I dunno, it's the holidays, that spending time of year. :P I paid about $10, but he's BEAUTIFUL! :-*
-

LOL, understatement of the year there, here's the Canadian history lesson for modern:
POTF2 - last two waves never made it (RH Vader, etc.); also never saw the EU figures at retail
Commtech - two figures never made it locally, though they were found elsewhere
Episode I - last two waves - R2-B1, etc.
POTJ - last two waves (seeing a trend yet?)
Saga - everything after Djas Puhr or so - more than two waves
Post -OTC - final wave, though the first POTC wave came
ROTS - final 12.

Why the hostility Slothus? Or rather insecurity? :(

Sorry 'bout that. I am defensive about Canada, as a lot of Canadians are I guess. ;D
Please accept my apologies, I just didn't get it. :(

It's all in good humour.

Someone in the Michigan threads found Han at Target.
Well that doesn't work well. The quoter's name can't been seen on the black ground. It's a post (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=1548653&page=&view=&sb=5&o=&vc=1) from the sightings thread on RS.

Tedious? I'm over it already ;) (NP)
-
Tedious, don't feel bad or anything, Jon(Slothus) just busts balls... But let's play nicely and remember not everyone here is familiar enough to "get it". Takes time, so be kind to anyone just starting out because it's never easy starting out and getting familiar with how we all interact.
Just a message of peace and happiness... And Brent's old I guess.
-
Yeah Aaron, 9 times out of 10, people are just busting one anothers chops around here with zero callousness intended. Much, much different from scum.
-
Thanks for the understanding, dudes.
I am slowly catching on to just how different these boards are from RS.
I am going to stop now before I start to sound like an actual whiney Canadian. ;D
I think I've derailed this thread far enough. ;D
-
The "derailment" has turned this into a rather amusing thread. :D Keep up the good work! ;)
Wilk.....I hate it when I forget one last thing and have to edit my post.... >:(
Also Wilk.... I don't know why I keep using these silly "emoticons" ::)
Also, Also Wilk.... I would NEVER use emoticons if they weren't so conveniently placed right above the typing area... :P
Note: I don't know what "wilk" means but I saw it in Monty Python and the Holy Grail and I thought it was funny. :)
-
LOL- I love it when folks get jealous over emoticons use.
Hah! they weren't placed there to not be used.
I'm so glad they conveniently placed them there- At least I don't have to go outside the thread to get more.
Emoticons are awesome. Show some non-flaccid creativity for once-use an emoticon! ;D

Sorry, I'm a little unclear here.... I thought you said MOMC ShopStarWars.com clone but I guess you really meant the banged up one with the creases, is that right?I am going to stop now before I start to sound like an actual whiney Canadian. ;D
That is, and shall remain my job, thank you very much. >:( ;)

I dunno...when you're ancient a position COULD be opening soon.
The pink sweater, the pink sweater! I wanna it, yeahhhhhhh
-
Does the Holiday Vader count as Saga? Well, mine arrived today.
-
I guess Wedge is Saga2. Just picked mine up.
-
I picked up Boba Fett with the dooku holo at Walmart this morning. I also got the Darth Vader Transformer. They had all six figures up there and they looked good but I think I am going to collect certain figures this go around, mainly variants and army building figures. If anybody is wondering about the prices, the basic figure I bought at Walmart was $5.88 and the Transformer was $14.97.
-
Found the entire SAGA wave at TRU this morning. $6.99 each sucks though.... Only picked up Leia and Fett.
WM had nothing. REALLY want the new Republic Attack Cruiser... :-[
-
$6.99 is going to force me to be a good bit more choosey with what I buy... Army building is going to be a bit more calculated, custom fodder too... And figures like Fett won't be on my "to buy" list now whereas they likely would have been picked up at the $5-ish price range... Things start jumping in price and I gotta alter my habits to accomodate.
I'm hoping a competition war will cause some drops at Target and Wal-Mart at the least... TRU hopefully will come to the $6 range and KB and KM can just suck it.
-
$5.88 @ Wal Mart ;D
-
I stopped to pick up a couple of things at Wal-Mart today, one place I really didn't want to go (insane busy), but I was glad I did. They had some new stuff on the pegs, and I picked up 3 of the "Battle of Carkoon" wave...Leia (Boussh), Bib Fortuna, and Barada. They had one other Barada on the pegs, but the rest were gone. I was hoping to get Han (and Chewie), but its nice to have a few picked up. They rang up $5.88 at Wal-Mart here too. Also saw a few of the Transformers, but didn't pick them up. The hunt is on!
-
These hit Utah today/tonight at Walmarts. $5.88 also here. Picked up the ones I wanted leaving the ones I didn't. I would have to say that even the $5.88 price range still greatly alters my buying habits. I will purchase only the figures I really like/want and leave the rest. If they were the $5 dollar range, I would probably alter that. I'll be surprised if we see prices drop at Walmart on this wave.
-
$5.88 isn't too shabby... About what we paid all year... That $6.99's gonna suck though if TRU doesn't budge on price. It'll just be another reason not to go to TRU ever.
-
picked these up in northern cally tonite @ WM 10 minutes prior to closing off the pallet- got all 6 fresh out of case. Case was wave 1 rev 1.5(1.5!!? there was already a rev. 1?)
notable holo's were Maul, Boba,Dooku/ Yoda, Obi, Solo
glad these are done..phew ::)
I saw 2 more unopened cases at a 24 hour WM in the next city
-
I scored the Saga wave at TRU. They rang up at $6.99, but my wife insisted that they charge me $5.99 since there were no $6.99 tags to be seen.
-

Yep, that is where ROTS started, and at that time I had no intention to buy one of everything in that line (for the single figures) and that did not change until the price dropped. Luckily, when the price dropped I was able to find everything I needed (I did buy some at the $5.88, but again, only what I wanted). The difference is 6 figures at $5.88 and tax here are $37.61, while 6 figures at $4.77 are $30.51, or a $7 difference. Times that $7 over 10 waves and $70 is alot of collecting money to spend on repack figures. Thus the price for me makes the difference of picking up a repack or passing on it, even a modified repack like Fett.
-
I SCORED A TSC BIB FORTUNA AT TRU!!!!
I'm ******* giddy. Northern VA never gets figures early. Review posted.
-
I got Bib fortuna and Leia.
I am really wanting to get 2 fetts.
I havent seen Fett, Barada, Han, or Chewie at any store.
-
Saw the wave today at Walmart. I was surprised to see most of them still on the pegs. I almost got Fortuna but I did not. The lines were way too long for a single SW figure.
-
Okay, my two WM's are officially swimming in this stuff as of today. Both stores had about 10-15 of each figure on the pegs which look to be the same figs from the last few days. Was able to score my Chewie and Barada which makes me officially caught up and ahead of the game. I was quite surprised to see them sitting for a couple days since the stores are crazy busy in my area. On a side note I noticed some younger kids at one store upset that there were no ROTS figs left. They could of cared less about the OT stuff.
-
I got Leia at Target on Monday, I'm still looking for Boba, and I think I'm going to wait to get Barada and Bib at Wal-Mart. I'm not really too interested in Han and Chewie.
-
Finished off my set at Target this afternoon, grabbing a Bib and Chewie to keep carded and a Boba and Barada to open.
Unfortunately, because I wasn't paying enough attention when I bought the "opener" figures (Boba and Barada), I am now the proud owner of THREE Count Dooku Mini-Holos. ::)
I was so busy worrying about the paint jobs on them because I knew I was going to open them that I completely forgot to flip them around to check the mini-holo too. Turns out they both had the Dooku Holo, which I already had from Bib last week... >:(
-
I scored Bib with a Stormie holo the other night at Target.
-
Scored the entire first wave of TSC between Walmart and Target over the last few days.
-
Found Wave 1 at my local K-Mart today. I cast aside the holo figs, would have kept them if they were in neutral poses. My only complaint (so far) about this line.
-
The new figures have turned up in WalMart and Target here. The prices at Target are 6.99 and at Walmart 5.99. I bought Bib, Leia Boushh and Han Carbonite but did not buy any of the repacks, and that will probably be my policy for the Saga figures.
-
So two waves are available now, Hoth and Carkoon?
-
Only Carkoon I believe.
-
hte hoth wave is available at a couple of online stores, but is way over priced. carkoon wave is the only wave available at retail stores right now.

I may be a young and new collector, but I started with the Vintage Original Trilogy Collection so I am a bit spoiled, if you will, and I shall not be purchasing many repacks. The majority of the figures in the Power of the Force 2 line are simply not something I would like to have in my collection. I will buy some repacks on figures I missed out on in past lines that I like, but for the most part, I will only be buying the new sculpts.
-
Although I hadn't planned on stopping there (since it was bare yesterday), I did quick run into Wal-Mart after lunch today and happily found the figure pegs with something actually on them. They had all the Carkoon wave aside from Barada (which I found there a week+ back), so I was able to pick up Han Solo (Carbonite) and Chewbacca. I was half tempted to get the Boba Fett as well, but I hadn't originally planned on it and stuck to that. One of the Fetts they had had the Fett holo as well, which made it a little more tempting. At any rate, its nice to say that I'm caught up until the Hoth wave hits now.
-
Ughh, I still don't know what to do with this line once it hits here.
Half of me wants to buy them all and keep them carded like I did with the OTC line and the other half of me wants to just buy the "new" figures to open...
My better half wants me to do neither....
-
I picked up Bib at WM tonight... One of 3 Bibs and no other figures on the pegs. At least I could pick out a reasonably non-horrific face paintjob.
I'm seeing some of the flaws people are up in arms (no pun) about with this figure. It's far from perfect. I'd give it a mediocre, and when compared to Meena Tills, Ask Aak, or Mas Ameda from last year this figure is a major letdown really.
I won't say letdown for me personally but I see some of the points out there... He's passable by my standards on figures like this, but yeah I can see how it could have easily have been done better for poseability and not lost much in looks.
-
FINALLY scored my first TSC figures yesterday. picked up most of the Carkoon wave except Barada ;D
-
I keep finding stashed Bib Fortunas at my WM. I don't have it but I get that "Bust the stash and buy it" feeling when I see it. I don't like it but it's SO tempting.... I think I have a problem. My wife "knows" I have a problem w/ Star Wars addiction... :P
-
Found much of the Hoth wave today at Wal-Mart. I picked up Veers, Derlin, Gonk, Snowtrooper, and 2 AT-AT Drivers. Very surprised to find them already (just got Carkoon last week), but I'm happy to have them. I wonder if we'll continue to see them come out this quickly.
-
Picked up Bib Fortuna at WM, it was the only figure they had. They have been waiting for new shipment to come in, which has now been 2 weeks.
-
Saw 8 cases of hoth wave on pallets at 4 Wm's tonite...took 1 case for myself to get the full set ::)
Jesse J- You're right..this is where to get stuff with minimal
competition ;)
Additionally picked X3 TH titanium ties
Counting all the craptastic transformers, bikers, Unleashed battle packs.. there was alot of SW received at my area stores today :o.
-
Finally went looking for TSC the last few days and found 'em today. Got:
Leia
Han
Veers
Derlin
AT-AT Driver
Gonk
R2
:)
-
Today I got 2 x AT-AT Drivers, General Veers, & a Power Droid. That's all I really wanted from the Hoth wave, bring on whatever is the next wave!
-
Picked up today the members of the Hoth wave I wanted (so they hit Utah today). Also saw that they put out about 3 cases of the Carkoon wave with 1 case of Hoth.
-
Picked up my first TSC figure at Target today. Boba Fett with Stormie holo.
-
My girlfriend surprised me tonight after work with a few figs from the Hoth wave. She picked me up 2x AT-AT Driver, Vader, Snowtrooper and Veers ;D.
-
I picked up Han yesterday. These new figs look cool, but I'm not really in the modern line too much any more, unless it's for clones or Han stuff. However, I may pick up a sandtrooper or two when they come out.
Also, I'm looking now, does anyone know if there will be star cases made for these figures? It kind of pisses me off that the current figures won't fit in the case that every other figure from the beginning to the POTC fit in the same case and these recent ones don't.
-
picked up 2x veers & 1 derlin.
-
Picked up all Carkoon wave except Fortuna and also AT-AT Driver, Veers, Snowtrooper, & Derlin at WM.
-
I picked up Veers, Derlin, R2 and a Snowtrooper today. The others had been scupped up.
-
Picked up Bib Fortuna, Han in Carbonite, Leia, Barada, and Chewbacca
-
Picked up:
Veers x2
At-At Driver x2
Hoth Vader
Cliff Clayven
Power Droid
This morning at Target. Damn that 7 bucks made me pick and choose. >:(
-
Wound up picking up the second half of the Hoth wave yesterday. A few more AT-AT drivers and I can put this wave to rest.
-
Picked up Vader, Snowtrooper and AT-AT Driver for myself. The price is going to keep me from army building Troopers.
-
Yesterday I picked up the Hoth wave minus Vader, R2, and General Rieekan (who I didn't want anyway) plus an extra AT-AT Driver for a total of two. Two white Titanium TIE Fighters, and some more clearance ROTS stuff from Target.
-
picked up General Veers and got an AT-AT Driver from JayDouble :)
-
Toys 'R' Us, KB Toys, and Target have steadily had nothing since all of you have been finding the Hoth wave, but this morning I finally found the Hoth wave at Walmart.
I must say that the AT-AT driver and General Veers are the winners from this bunch, and I think that the Derlin has potential to customize into a nice SA Hoth Rebel Trooper if you take the backpack and rifle from the POTF2 versions.
-
Picked up Han, Boussh, and Barada today, completing my wants from Carkoon. Now waiting for the Hoth wave to arrive.
-
In my area I have noticed a trend. The waves are hitting Walmart, then Target, then TRU. After that the Saga waves disappears and we did not see more figures until the next wave hit. Then it was a ratio of 3 Carkoon to 1 Hoth in many Walmarts, some getting a 3 to 2 ratio of Carkoon to Hoth.
My question is has anyone seen a Wally, Target or TRU restock a Saga wave after initially receiving their first shipment?

Yep, Super Target here put out 2 solid cases of the Hoth wave today, same store put out 2 cases of the Hoth wave last week when it started to hit, with no sign of the Carkoon wave this time around.
-
to 1 Hoth in many Walmarts, some getting a 3 to 2 ratio of Carkoon to Hoth.

I have seen Target restock the Carkoon wave so far.
I have a feeling my Wally World is finally getting with the program now too with Saga. Got Hoth there today and there was plenty of it.
-
My question is has anyone seen a Wally, Target or TRU restock a Saga wave after initially receiving their first shipment?
The Target across the street from me sucks an inordinant amount of ass, so it's not entirely typical, but I check it in the morning at opening and in the evening (I walked through it to get to the train station). They have not restocked the wave since I grabbed a case from them a few weeks back, as far as I can tell. They'll probably only get a single case of Hoth as well. ::)

Targets in my area don't seem to be lacking the Carkoon wave. Check 4 different Targets over the weekend. All of them restocked but only two of them had the Hoth wave. The other two stocked 2-3 cases of the Carkoon wave. We have nearly full sets of wave 1 peg hanging here.
-
I got the Hoth wave at Walmart on Sunday. Veers is the bomb!
-
I got a Bib Fortuna last week, but this week I got a Barada (someone got it for me), and so since it was bought for me I opened it... He had a CHewbacca Boussh Prisoner stand though however.
And I got a Han Solo tonight at Wal-Mart. Everyone was reporting Carkoon Wave around our area though, and smatterings of Hoth Wave remnants. So that's a plus. Bodes well for me finding something at some point.
-
Ordered a couple of cases from Newforce to resolve my issues, I think after shipping a little over $6 per figure:
SW 3 3/4 IN BASIC FIGURE, 2006 wave 3.4
(2) Darth Vader Hoth
(1) Fire Pilot
(1) Commander Cody
(1) Neimoidian Pilot
(2) Clone Trooper
(1) Foul Moudama (Muftak Jedi)
(1) Anakin Skywalker
(1) Ki Adi Mundi (hologram)
(1) General Grievous (Bounty Hunt figure)
(1) Scorch (Bounty Hunt figure)
SW 3 3/4 IN BASIC FIGURE, 2006 wave 1
(2) General Veers
(2) AtAt Driver
(2) Rebel Trooper
(1) General Rieekan
(2) SnowTrooper
(1) Darth Vader Hoth
(1) R2D2
(1) Gonk Droid
Ok, what's next?
-
Hey Morbug, I'm about to move to Italy so I'm going to have to resort to ordering cases like that. I've never had to order whole cases. I don't know what I'm going to do w/ the ones I don't want like the lame repack of Anakin and Vader Hoth... That case should have more of Cody! Cody REALLY needs to be over packed. Why doesn't Hasbro get it? You could put 4 Cody's per case and still not have enough!!! ::)
-
I too am also really considering ordering cases for the waves I want. Just saves the time of running to get them. Guess I'm lazy . . . . no, I have other things that I want to do with my time. For my extra's I'll either give them to my son if he wants em, or I have a 4 year old that my 11 year old son has corrupted (our neighbors son who is 4 saw my son's Darth Vader costume at Halloween, and he came over in November and played with my son for about 4 hours. All they played was Star Wars. It was actually cool because we had an older Vader costume from when my son was that age and we gave it to him, well, my son did as well as an old he won't fit Jedi costume; my son has newer ones). The 4 year old would love the figures!
Question I have. Those who have ordered from NewForce have you had any experiences of not receiving a preorder? I have never not received product when ordered from EE (though I pay slightly more). Any input on NewForce I would appreciate. Always willing to give someone a try.
-
Well, I'll probably give the worst report on Newforce of anyone here.
Please remember though that I am in Canada. I've dealt with Rick a lot in the past, all the way back into the POTJ era. I've only rarely had an order cancelled and when I did, I was far from the only one. Some people did receive their cases, but not very many and Rick is always very upfront about it. As soon as he hears he will not get a fulfillment of an order, he tends to post it and email as well.
My problems stem from missing out because he has to handle Canadian shipments differently and in the past seem to have slipped his mind. This is not an isolated occurrence either, as many others have had the same scenario. I took to emailing him reminders whenever I knew shipments were in, but often to no avail. I eventually gave up on Newforce because Hasbro was seriously shafting them and then Rick's need of reminders for my shipments.
To be fair Rick was usually dependable, shipping was always exact, no handling fee and he was a good guy via email. That would be why I'm trying again with them, good customer service in general. I have changed one thing in that I am getting them shipped to a buddy in the US and then having them forwarded up here. It ends up costing me a bit, but I'm hoping I get treated as a regular US based customer meaning I can order and they show up.
I think you'll find that Jeff and Scott have had good service from them in the past as well. I think any problems Newforce may have in your case would stem from them getting screwed by Hasbro, something entirely out of their power.
-
I highly recommend New Force because I've purchased a lot of Star Trek and Simpsons figure cases from him since 2000. I've never purchased Hasbro products from him but I imagine if there are problems it won't be his fault.
-
Cool, thanks for the input. I'll give em a try and place a order next week. I did score 3 more AT AT drivers, 1 for me (gives me 4 for my AT AT), 3 for a friend and 1 for another friend. Hooked up another local collector with a gonk droid. Now I'm done hunting until the next wave if I don't order it online.
-
Got Major Bren Derlin this morning
-
Just curious...but for those of you finding TSC, do they keep getting re-stocked? I've been fortunate enough to find the Carkoon wave, as well as most of the Hoth wave, but I think it was a case of just being there at just the right time. The figures have been totally sold out the next day (or maybe the same day, who knows), and the pegs have been bare since then. I have yet to see any figures at Target, so this has all been at Wal-Mart. I was just curious if anyone else has been seeing this pattern. I don't know if its just because they are just starting out, or if they need to ship more or what, but the figures sure seem to be selling great (even the repacks), so you'd think they would want to keep those pegs stocked a little more regularly. I mean, I'm not complaining, the only figures I haven't seen on the pegs yet are the Hoth R2 and Vader, but I think that's more just been dumb luck than anything else :).
-
Brian,
I have only seen them at Walmart once (Hoth), and the Carkoon did the same thing, hit once at Walmart then nothing. When Hoth showed up, the ratio was 3 Carkoon to either 1 or 2 cases of Hoth depending on the volume of the store.
Targets here have put out the Hoth wave on Saturday, and then either yesterday or today they put out the second shipment. Same thing with Carkoon when the hit. Target seems currently to be putting out 3 cases of Carkoon to 2 cases of Hoth. So, yes, the have hit multiple times. Bad thing is they are hitting multiple tiimes at Target and that means paying more per figure.
-
Outside of a freak visit to a KB that was STACKED for some odd reason, I've only ever seen scant remnants, some Bibs, Baradas so the first hoth 'scrap' I came upon I had to gobble up without hesitation. At least I never bought the deluxe Riekan from the defunct 'saga' line. I think you have to get there 15 minutes early with your nose on the door and run for gold to get them when they are 'released'. I'm not conducting funny business with the stockroom, so I don't know what's when and who's who. The only folks who practice that do so because time is money, and money is playing some role in their collecting habit. *cough*scalpers *cough*
-
On an unscheduled WM stop, I picked up some At-At Drivers and the Varient Vader.
-
Got anothe AT Driver, love this dude!
-
I picked up a couple more At-At drivers, and with that, I am caught up. Again.
(Don't worry Jon, I still want yours. ;) )

I went on a toy run this morning and the 4 stores I visited were simply rich with figures ::)
Walmart:
4 peg hooks, totally empty.
Target:
8 peg hooks. 1 Bib Fortuna figure dangling from one of them, ripped card.
Toys 'R' Us:
3 peg hooks. 1 Mon Mothma figure.
KB Toys:
Nothing. Apparently there's not even a star wars section anymore.
How about that?! Nice morning haul eh? I visited 4 ******* stores, found 15 peg hooks total and just one Saga figure, Bib Fortuna.
You really have to wonder what the hell is going on. Why are these stores so bad at this? First of all, there aren't enough facings or peg hooks for THE hottest action figure line at present and probably of all time. Furthermore, of the limited peg hooks they have, they could at least put some lousy figures on them. Even the bad ones. EIII figures were easy to find here in just about any multiples I desired them. And when EIII went out, Star Wars pretty much went with it. I did see the Hoth wave one time 11 days ago and have not seen another blessed thing in any store KB, TRU, Wally, Target since.
-
Ha Ha went to 7 stores yesterday they had a total of 30 saga figures ...sure they were pegwarmers..leia,han, and bib(they been sitting a couple of weeks now) but I think the stores are pausing before ordering the geonosis line. Some no doubt have factored that their store inventory time is coming up shortly.
-
Went to a local Target... looks like they had put out 2 boxes of the Hoth wave just before I got there.
I picked up:
Veers (x2)
Snowtrooper (x2)
At-At Driver
Reeikan
Vader
Left R2 and the gonk behind. Got Derlin at a different Target a few days earlier... was the only Hoth guy on the pegs amid the Carkoon wave.
-
Got a shipping notice from SWS on the Bounty Hunter set today.

The pegs have been empty for the most part since Thanksgiving here as well.
I just wish that in these non-movie years Hasbro would pull their heads out of their asses and just get the assortments adjusted and actually ship a decent amount of the figures that we all know will sell.
-
Was actually surprised to find 2 At-At Drivers, 2 Snowtroopers and a Riekkan at Walmart this evening. Well not surprised about the General but the army builders yes. ;D
-
I think it's a sign of the times when the repacks, packed 1 per figure, go first and the new figures sit longer.
Even in OTC when it first started shipping, the repacks still sat and new figures were the hot ones. Now all of a sudden nobody cares about the new figures while the repacks are gobbled up... It stinks of people reselling them I'm afraid. That's just my observation though.
I can't even find Fett's for the kids. It's downright frustrating.
I found the 3 new Carkoon figures one at a time... Eventually though I saw that they really sat to some extent while you couldn't find a Chewbacca in chains to save your life. It's almost comical really. :) But yeah, Hasbro's supposedly making this line and these repacks for kids... This is what's here to keep the peopel from ROTS who got into it because of that film and aren't die-hard collectors right? Wellllllll, I'm thinking that's more a load of **** with every passing week.
-
I think it's a sign of the times when the repacks, packed 1 per figure, go first and the new figures sit longer.
I've been thinking about this as well, Jesse. I walked into Target on Monday night to find 4 Veers and 4 Derlin hanging on the pegs, along with one Riekeen. So not just one case of figures had been looted, but two. Of that, only a lone Riekeen, which can still be found in his Deluxe incarnation online, was left of the rehashes.
That one Target then has had 12 cases of Saga I've counted pass through the store. (I live across the street from it and sometimes check twice a day).
I fing it hard to believe that fans had their fill of a new, cool figure like Veers but are gobbling up a repainted R2-D2. Those should be hanging, or at least selling at a consistent pace with the new figures. Same with the previous wave - Boushh is left over while Barada or a (not very good) Chewbacca is scooped up?
Odd. And fishy.
Hasbro finally ships some good ratios of figure packing and speculators show up on the scene? I can see the potential for mass hysteria breaking out when the supposed Bounty Hunt cardbacks/repaints/turd-in-a-plastic-bubble shows up. :-\

Picked up my Astromech Driods yesterday.

What I have noticed in recent history is that eventually, maybe a month or two after a wave is supposed to have first started showing up, is that the supply starts to overwhelm the demand and there is a stretch of a couple weeks where you can pick up just about anything you want.
I think right now (I hope) what I'm seeing is just the first trickles of waves hitting the pegs, and that soon there will be at least some kind of stock available.
Right now it literally looks like locusts came through the Star Wars section of TRU, Walmart, and Target, with just bare peg hooks remaining. And as you look around the toy section, pegs are STUFFED full of every single other toy brand including Wrestling, Marvel Legends, GI Joe, McFarlane etc. But Star Wars is completely bare.

I saw basically the same thing at Target yesterday. Within the past week, they've finally stocked (missed Carkoon, straight to Hoth wave at our Targets), and there has been 4-5 Derlins, a couple of Veers and a lone Rieekan on the pegs for now. I still haven't ever seen R2 or Vader on the pegs here, and figures like Gonk, Barada, and Chewie I have only seen the one time when I picked them up. It does seem strange. Our Wal-Mart here is barren also, which is always disappointing to see. Hopefully things will start shipping a little heavier pretty soon.
-
Selective locust hit stores last nite...opened 5 cases of hoth saga,left 2 unopened
-picked up x10 ATAT Drivers
Picked up TH gunship and darth vader tie out of 1 titanium case as well
Saw new cases of unleashed BP's = frowned on them
several stores received x6(2 cases of 3 each) Titanium Gift packs-the ones with "raw metal Falcon"
-
Had a pretty lucky morning at a Target store near work today. I found two sets of the new Unleased Battle packs, a couple complete sets of the Hoth wave figures, and the last couple of Titanium Series sets with both a white TIE Fighter and the ARC Gunship. Days like today make me wonder if I should just sign my paycheck over to Uncle George. ::)
-
Got the AT-AT Driver, Derlin, and Veers last night at Target...
That plus a kick ass sock monkey valentine's card = near $25.
That's a rape at retail.
-

Is that $25 for the AT-AT driver, Veers and Derlin PLUS the monkey? Or a separate $25 for the monkey?
-
Slothus hooked me up with another At-At Driver. :)
-
My Bounty Hunters arrived yesterday. :D
-
General Veers
Cliff
Power Droid
-
Opened 4 cases of Hoth last nite with employee, no "standing there" Vader variant :(-think I missed the boat on those-it must have been an early correction.
Opened a case of titanium wave 3, revision 1 ....took the republic gunship TH.
-
Saw nothing at Walmarts the last two days. This morning Targets had 2 or 3 cases of Hoth on the pegs.
-
Due to a counting error, I had to pick up another At-at driver for myself and bought the new figures from the Hoth Wave for my neighbor.
-
I BOUGHT GENERAL VEERS!!!
I finally found him! Oh **** yes.
-
Picked up another At-At Driver. Now if I could just find another Hoth R2 Id be set.
-
Sounds like the Geo wave is showing up at a few Targets on the west coast...and I thought I spent a lot of money last year. I may wind up spending twice as much at this pace.

Three waves in two months... damn.
-
I saw a report online (from Texas I believe) of the Geonosis wave being found at Target as well. Just when I thought I was done looking for a bit :). I picked up the last Hoth wave figure I wanted this weekend, when I found R2-D2 at Target. They had the entire wave packed on the pegs, aside from the Vader, which I still haven't seen. Not so sure I want it anyways, so I think I'm "caught up" for now...until the Geo wave starts showing up here. It kind of hurt to pay that $6.99 price for a basic figure though, I had found the rest at Wal-Mart. Oh well, happy to have the figure though.
-
Oooh, Geonosis wave 8)
Picked up four Hoth figures (in addition to the case I bought). I snagged another couple of AT-AT drivers (is this just a repainted Saga Tie Pilot?), another Veers (armor on, armor off) and an extra Gonk droid.
-
I saw a report online (from Texas I believe) of the Geonosis wave being found at Target as well.
Good grief! I guess we should expect that since we are now in February and all and these seem to be coming out at a lighning pace, but dang my wallet needs a break (especially paying $7 a figure :'().
-
morgbug that's what i thought when i saw it online but it is different, not by much but enough for me to army build him. :)

Nah, there are pretty big differences in the helmet sculpt particularly around the helmet eye lenses, and the poseability of the right arm at the elbows.
The TIE Pilot right arm cannot be straightened out and fully extended like the AT-AT Driver's. Plus, the left arm is sculpted permanently straight with no joint on the TIE Pilot.
Looking at these 2 figures in my hand right now...I LOVED the TIE Pilot when it first came out, but now that I have the AT-AT Driver, it is light year's better.

AT-AT Driver
Snowtrooper
-
I have all of the Carkoon wave and half of the Hoth wave. Still need:
AT-AT Driver
R2-D2
Power Droid
Darth Vader
Now the Geonosis wave is out! :P
-
Bought a set of the Geonosis wave for Jamie, 2 Clones and a Scorch for myself and a Scorch for my buddy today.
-
I finally scored a Power Droid/Treadwell Droid 2-Pack at Target. Expect a review soon. Target also had a Snowtrooper, 3-4 AT-AT Drivers, 3-4 General Veers, and a Battle Of Geonosis Yoda, proof that the BOG Wave had been there.
-
This week I snagged Veers and 4 Gonk Droids/Treadwell Droids. The Hoth wave is here in abundance, having seen all of them in multiples for the past 2 weeks. I only bought the 5 figures as I have no interest in any of the others.
When the Geonosis wave hits, I only plan on getting Sora Bulq, Sun Fac, and a quartet of Republic Commandos (for customizing purposes, I'm not a Clone fan in the least but they'll make good base bodies for armored mercs ;) ).
-
Minnesota seems to be stuck between waves at the moment, but I did grab another AT AT driver and hoth gonk to add background pieces. It is tough to think about multiples at $7.00 each with the number of figures coming out.
-
Jesus ****. I just got the Geo wave today and there's a thread on RS saying that VOTC has already been found?!
(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c325/DarthNate/1140355009250_greedo1.jpg) (http://threads.rebelscum.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1686705&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1#1686705)
-
A local Target store had three sets of the Geonosis wave, minus the Clone Trooper and Scorch of course, as of 9AM this morning. I only purchased a single Sora Bulq figure as he was the only one I wanted other then Scorch and the Clone Trooper, so everything else I left on the shelves including both versions of C-3PO.
-
WALMARTS IN SoCal finally hit tonite for Geo wave.
Came in a weird cases not called wave 3 instead was called wave 2.5 and has 1 hoth figure(major derlin ::))
Scored ALOT of quality Geo figs
tonite ;)
The stores additionally got some more Hoth waves mixed in with no vader statue variants :((need that var. still)
-
This morning I went to Target and found only 2 figures on the pegs, both from the Geonosis wave, a Scorch and a Yoda. (Weird right?) I bought the Scorch.
-
I got Sora, Jango, Scorch and the Utapau Clone today. Missed more at another store.
-
Picked up another Veers at TRU.
-
This weekend I was able to score from Walmart my Scorch, Utapau Clones, Sun Fac, Sora Bulq. Seems the Wally's here had 2 cases of Hoth and 1 case of Genosis that had the 2.5 breakdown.
Case Breakout was:
1 Scorch
1 Utapau Clone
1 Jango
2 Yoda
2 C3P0 (1 of each variant)
2 Poggle
2 Sun Fac
1 Sora Bulq.
With only 1 case per store its hard to build more than one of Scorch or the Clones because by the time one drives to other stores, seems other collectors have swepted em up!
-
Saw a lot of left over of the Geo wave but was able to grab one of each of Yoda, Poggle, Sun Fac and Sora.
-
Since toysrus is having there sale I went ahead and picked up leia, chewbacca, han, and barada. They had boba fett yesterday and I was planning on getting him today but he was gone. The only other figure they had was bib fortuna which I may go back later on in the week and pick him up if they still have him.
-
I scored Scorch, Sun Fac, Sora Bulq, and an Utapau Clone at Wally last night. I left behind the rest of the case.
edit - Wow... it took me 7 months to catch my typo.
-
Scored another set of 3rd wave clones today at Target.

That's odd the case says wave 2.5 isn't it? Mine said the same thing at my Wal Marts. Our four Wm stores got 3-4 cases of 2.5 each store and 2 of the stores additionally got 2 cases of hoth.
Now there isn't one Geo wave fig on the WM pegs 3 days later although you can find them pegwarming at the 2 Targets in my area ::)
-
I had a chance to stop by the Target that is across town from us, and they had some of the Geonosis wave on the pegs. I saw 2x C-3PO (1 with BD head), 2x Sun Fac, 2x Poggle, and 1x Yoda. No clones of course. I picked up a Poggle since I skipped the box set version. I just about got the Sun Fac as well, because it sounds like its a very nice figure, but one Geonosian was enough for me and Poggle was a little more important to the movie(s) I guess. Anyways, nice to see something new. Our closest Target is still full of the trifecta of Veers, Derlin, and Rieekan. Wal-Mart is bare of anything outside of Unleashed Battle Packs.
-
Picked up an extra Derlin for customizing and a Chewie to open, but I think I'm going to return the Chewie.
-
Got and opened a Veers. He is not as cool as I thought.
-
My loose figs arrived today in the mail. I got Barada, Bib, Han, Boba, Derlin, and Veers.
-
I have all of the first two waves with the exception of Darth Vader.
Now the search begins for the Geonosis wave! :o
-
I'd like to give a shout out to the fine folks who dumped all thier Wave 1 figures at my Target over the weekend -- likely doing so after buying figures at TRU for 4.99 and dragging their old reciepts and new (old wave) purchases into to get some cash back on the difference. Hurray for your savings, and F you for clogging the pegs of my local store with Bib Fortunas for the next three months. Jackasses.
-
F you for clogging the pegs of my local store with Bib Fortunas for the next three months. Jackasses.
I'll totally agree with you there Jared.
I don't want to get into whether it's right or wrong, but it sure sucks ass when you go to Target on a Saturday and find 1x Poggle and 1x Derlin on the pegs, only to return to the same Target on Wednesday to find 11x Bib Fortuna, 3x Derlin, and 3x Barada hanging on the pegs.
You know there is no case assortments that could have arrived in the last two days to get to that point, and you know it's going to take weeks to unload all those Bibs. >:(
The best part comes when those same inconsiderate people then feel they have the right to piss and moan when they can't find the Coruscant wave at Target next month... ::)
-
I got Poggle the Lesser today at Target, even though I had the old one. He is a great figure, and I couldn't pass up the new one @$5.89. Not SAGA2, but I picked up a SAGA Arena Padme over the weekend at TRU for $2.49. It came with the backround and she had the mole on her face. I just need Scorch, the Jedi, C-3PO, Jango, and at least two of those clones and I'll be done with Geonosis.
-Gregory
P.S.- Don't know if this is old news, or if it is just my store, but my Target had SW SAGA2 Figures on sale for $5.89. They only had Poggles, Derlins and Reikans, though. Might wanna check your Target if you want a discounted pegwarmer. :P
-
picked up Sora Bulq yesterday at target, pretty decent fig. passed on the others Yoda, Poggle, and Sun Fac since i already have the last two and didn't want another Yoda, maybe another time though.
-
picked up all Geonosis wave and orange clone commander. I assume he's from the ROTS wave.
-
I was able to pick up Sun Fac, Poggle, Sora Bulq, Jango Fett, and Darth Vader at a Walmart for the toysrus price of $4.99. Now all I am looking for is Scorch and the Utapu Clone.
-
picked up all Geonosis wave and orange clone commander. I assume he's from the ROTS wave.
He's NOT a commander
-
Scored a Poggle at Wal*Mart.
-
Was hooked up by a collector with a #026 (Utapau) Clone Trooper. Love it man!
-
picked up all Geonosis wave and orange clone commander. I assume he's from the ROTS wave.
There's no commander in this wave. That's a Utapau grunt.
-
He's NOT a commander
Sorry about that I meant trooper
-
I found a Boba Fett at a TRU so I went ahead and got it since they are on sale for $4.99.
-
Picked up these figures at 2 different Targets in the area:
Poggle
Sun Fac
3-PO
Sora Bulq (x2)
Utapau Clone (x2)
Scorch (x2)
They had all the other figures, but left them behind.
-
Found a Poggle and Sun this morning at Target. Everything else gone-
-
Picked up x1 annakin SF,x1 mill. falcon, x1 naboo royal cruiser/starship titaniums yesterday at Target. ;D
-
I was finally able to pick up most of the Geo wave this morning (minus the Utapau Clone). Can't wait for those to start shipping in bigger numbers!
-
Picked up x9 each of the scorch and grunt at 2 Wal Mart stores last nite. A buddy of mine picked up x5 sets. One WM got in 10 cases of 2.5 :o. Here come the pegwarmers(I think Jared was right...tell your sister you were righttt).
-
I picked up 4 Utapau clones and 3 Scorches at WM today. I'm finding more to the pattern of WM holding onto stock durring other store sales.
-
Picked up x9 each of the scorch
What for?
-
socialist reasons of course ::)
-
Picked up x9 each of the scorch

Don't worry, Slothus speads the wealth. 8)
-
I was able to find the whole Geo wave yesterday (minus the Utapau Clone). Only one Scorch though.
Picked up x9 each of the scorch
What for?
Slothus is a good guy. Helps A LOT of us SoCal collectors out.
-
Problem is, the figures that people want (Scorch and the Clone) won't peg warm. They will continue to fly off the shelves either by scalpers, collectors who army build, collectors buying for other collectors etc. Thus what will peg warm are the Poggles the Sun Facs, the C3P0's, Yoda's and eventually the Jango's. What I would be worried about if I was seeing huge case volumes at a store is that if a Walmart has only 4 pegs set aside for 3 3/4 figures, you could see a delay of the next wave being put out if the pegs become too fill. Other point is that if the pegs pegwarm with these figures, more figures being sent to the store from the warehouse is highly unlikely, htus maintaining demand for the figures.
-
Your points are well spoken, Dog. Good thing is I have 4 WM's to shop at. Funny thing is..last week this same wM got in 5 cases and sold them out! Unfortunately the 5 hard core collectors in my area have all the reg. figs now so now I do expect that store to be pegwarming heaven for 2 months unless they set up end caps...all this and only 8 pegs at that store!
Think I adressed this issue last night in other forums in this TSC thread. Jared pointed it out first though. Maybe it was the geonosis wave thread?
-
This is only amazing to me because i just today found the hoth wave. :( Iowa sucks if you're trying to find figures.
My answer to the pegwarming problem: absolutly that is a problem, and every non movie year it has been. But frankly if Hasbro would put out an armybuilder case (I.E. Scorch x4 Clone x8) we would be in great shape!
/soapbox.
-
1 x SCORCH!!! Love this FIGURE!! 8)
-
Our area got hit heavy Sat night with 2 to 5 cases per Wally so most collectors got what they wanted. They also hit a local Marketplace (Smith's) that use to be Fred Meyers.
-
I got a Utapau Clone at TRU. And of course after finding it I went to several other palces looking for figures but came up empty.
-
Here's a story for ya...
So, I wake up this morning and in the process of putting in my contact lenses, I use up the last of my contact solution. I make a mental note so that hopefully I will remember to buy some when I make my daily trip to Target to look for toys. Well, it was one of those busy days at work and I didn't have time to run out to Target over lunch. I figured "no problem". I'd just hit Walgreens on my way home and grab a new bottle or two to re-supply.
Now, I drive past this particular Walgreens every day on my way to work, never giving it a second thought most of the time, that is, until days like today when I actually need to stop in there. So, I pull into the parking lot, hop out of my car and head into the store. I moved past a few old ladies milling about in the entry way and check out the overhead signage. I see the sign for "Eye Care" and off I go.
Now, the path from the front door leads me directly past the toy aisle. I figure, what the hell. I'll check it out and possibly get the chance to mock the dusty Ep1 figures still on the pegs or something. Here's where the fun begins.
What do you think was hanging on the pegs?
CLICK ME for your answer! (http://www.jedidefender.com/image.pl?http://www.jedidefender.com/jsmentek/photos/coolscore.jpg) I know what you're thinking - it's nuts. Still can't believe it myself.
It was like Karma reached down from the Heavens and said, "Here you go dude!" They only have ONE Star Wars figure in the whole damn store and it's freakin' Scorch? Unreal. He was surrounded by a bunch of Power Ranger and Ninja Turtle crap on a lone peg marked "Star Wars Series - $7.99". No Yoda, no Poggle - just one lonely Scorch. :o
I asked the employee in the store if they had any more. She checked the back and said, nope. They got a box in last week and that is all that's left. So, thank you to all the old ladies of Oakdale who picked up Poggle or 3PO or Jango for their grandkids and left Scorch behind. :)
-
Very lucky find Jeff. I work at a Walgreens and I wish we would get some of the new figures in. My store is suppose to carry the figures as a basic item meaning we should always have some on the shelf and get them in if we dont. We did not have any figures since Christmas and now they finally got some in and what are they episode 3 figures 2 Vaders and 1 mufustar sentry neither worth the $7.99 for me. I keep hoping though that I will find a case of newer figures in our stock room our open up a tote while stocking and find a figure I want.

Today I found the first new thing in 2 weeks in my area and picked up the Boba Fett die cast figure. Vader was there as well, but I left him, because enough is enough with the Vader figures already. I wasn't going to buy Fett either, but it occured to me that this is the first action figure rendition of Boba Fett with a removable helmet, and that's just cool.
As far as future die cast figures though, I probably will not be buying any of the characters that aren't metal to start with. For example, a metallic Bossk does not interest me, but a metal IG-88 will do just fine.
But buy Boba today!
-
Picked me up another Utapau Clone and a Scorch for one of my Twin Cities JD buddies.
-
Sun Fac (x5)
Sora Bulq
-
Picked up a set of the Titanium figures tonite and the new GH wave
-
Picked up an extra Madine for customizing. :P
-
Picked up an extra Madine for customizing. :P
You mean Derlin, right?
-
Picked up the new set of GH, a Scorch and Titanium Anakin's Starfighter this morning.
-
snagged x2 UGH titanium slave 1 and X2 obi-won SF titanium.
-
Finally have a Scorch thanks to Ray(BobaFett77). Now if I could find a couple more.
-
Bought a Sun Fac and Sora Bulq earlier today
-
I found a U clone this weekend, that was definately the highlight. I did find the GH wave last week with Maul and company. One of the targets I stopped at had raised their GH prices to match the Saga figures (5.89). Something to look for, as target had been 4.79 for these every other store I checked.
-
Picked up Greedo, Han Endor, and Luke X-Wing VOTC at Walmart this morning. The Tusken Raider and Biker Scout were gone already, and those were the 2 I wanted the most by far. Rest assured though, I will be checking daily for restocking. They were $9.96 each. They also had the remnants of the Geonosis wave including Poggle, 3P0, and Sun Fac.
-
I recently picked up a Sora Bulq and Scorch. I should have grabbed a few of the Sun Facs that were there now that I think about it. Still haven't found a Geonosis Yoda yet...
This question may be a little off-topic for this section of the forums, but I've been wondering whether or not Hasbro has made any plans to produce figures of the other members of Delta Squad. The Scorch figure looks great on his own, but to have them all, each with their respective weapon type, would be awesome.
-
Picked up an extra Madine for customizing. :P
You mean Derlin, right?
I picked him up last week. ;)
Picked up one more, and possibly my last At-At driver today.
-
finally found a Sora at WM
-
Picked up the early Darth Vader's Jedi Starfighter titanium today at Target. (The green one)
-
My gf picked up almost the entire Hoth wave (sans Power Droid) for me. She's great :)
It seems though, that places are severely understocked all the time...urgh....
-
I got a couple Sun Fac's today at Target.
Of course no Clones to be found.
Scored tons of other great goodies at the Toy Show... But Sun Facs were a bit of a surprise. That whole wave has been a pain to find here irregardless of character.
-
I picked up a Sora Bulq at KB Toys this weekend, so now its just that pesky Utapau Clone to find :). The Geonosis wave is starting to show up around here a little more, but its always just the bugs when I've found them (aside from the lone Sora at KB). Our local WM continues to have bare pegs, and is filling them with other stuff at this point. They are stocked full of Titanium, Transformers, and Choppers though :). I also picked up the Titanium Millennium Falcon (Battle Ravaged). I always wanted to get this one, but I have to admit I was tempted a couple time this weekend to collect this line further and pick up the Gunship, AT-AT, and a few others.
-
I bought my first true saga figure on Saturday. I got the C-3PO with battle droid head (it's the version with the battle driod head already attached). I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am not going to do what I did last year and drive around, wasting an a**load of gas just in the hopes of finding a figure. No more 8 AM Target/11PM Wal-Mart runs on the weekends either. It's just too stressful and expensive. I will collect the VOTC stuff and I don't care if I really get any UGH or bounty hunt or whatever they're calling it this week figures. If I luck into them great and if not oh well. I think I just hit the shows and work out some trades with dealers for anything I want that I can't find. I'll get what I come across that I find cool. Otherwise if Hasblo wants my dollar they can make this stuff easier to get.
-

Ooooooooookay then!
(Agreed, definitely time for you to hang it up then.)
:)
-
believe it boys and girls the coruscant wave is hitting. found lushros about 10 minutes ago at local target. ;D but the only bad thing was i go around to the next isle over and i see a mom w/son and there's 3 other figs in the cart. from what i saw with the brief glance that i took 1 definately had orange markings so it was either Cody or a grunt. i go the next isle over and here the kid tell his mom about getting a video game instead and she says but we'll have to put the star wars back. so needless to say i spent the rest of my lunch basically stalking this lady and kid to see if they put them back/down somewhere. If I was only 5 minutes faster I could've grabbed them they only one row down when I got there :'(
-

Lucky bastard.

I picked up Obi-Wan and Holo Ki this morning. Just missed Cody and the fire pilot.

Man I've; only seen/held ONE Geonosis wave figure. I'm not ready for Coruscant wave! Yarrrr!

Yeah, I agree with Ithorian Clergy.... you won't be able to get much for trade with a c3po at a convention...it's too much gas....no need stressing out....time to hang it up; more for us ;D
-
Otherwise if Hasblo wants my dollar they can make this stuff easier to get.
Hasbro is not responsible for 'how easy it is for you to get', retail is. Hasbro simply fills the orders for retail's requests. It's retail's fault for not recognizing a higher demand/insufficient production. It's a big selling line and retail mistakingly determined the line would lose interest in a non movie year. There's 4 pegs for basic at most of my WM's-Is that Hasbrow's fault too?
-
Man, and I thought this was the civil board. Looks like I could have been wrong...
As for "easy to get" what I meant was ( and I should have just stated what I meant) is that instead of putting out 30 figures at a time or in weekly waves they could put out less figures and increase the carton counts. something along the lines of what they did with POTF2. I don't recall having issues getting star wars figures in the 70's when they first came out either.
But to blame Wal-mart for blank pegs....Come on, star wars is probably 1/10 of a percentage point of their sales revenue. They could care less but blank pegs are not exactly because they don't order enough or stock the shelves appropriatly. It's the scalpers, the hot wheels guys, the geeks living in mom's basement who do the ebay thing (or grandmas doing the ebay thing-I've seen them stalk the aisles too) and those that think they need to snag avery single one of the hot figure to trade and pass on to their friends because if they don't the "scalpers will get them" are snagging them up. Oh and the kids, since toy's are general for kids. No, that couldn't be it. It's Walmart's/Meijer's/Target's/TRU's/KB's lack of vision for not wanting to over order on a non returnable item so you can hold out and wait for it to go on clearence to get it on the cheap costing them retail dollars by sitting on shelves and not moving.
And I never said the C-3PO was for trade, I know better than to try to trade a new figure like that but I'm sure I could get some stuff out of this sealed AT-AT I've been looking to move......
We now return you to your normally scheduled board......Let's try to keep it on topic.
-
There's 4 pegs for basic at most of my WM's-Is that Hasbrow's fault too?
Actually it is.
Their sales people are the ones who garner space at retail based on historical data and sales pitches.
-
I picked up the entire set of Courescant figs from one case today. What was interesting is that I got the case and it's marked wave 3.
-
I picked up the entire set of Courescant figs from one case today. What was interesting is that I got the case and it's marked wave 3.
When I got my Geonosis wave case from New Force it was marked "wave 2.5".
Leave it to Hasbro to use creative numbering... it's not the first time (500th Vader?). ;)
-
I remember when we got the initial case assortments list from ahh another site.. it showed coruscant in wave 3. Then, it turned out geo was wave 2.5 ::).
Probably just a good bet to open any case.... just in case.
-
2 Soras and a Jango today. ;D
-
Picked up 3 Scorch, 2 Utapau Clones, 1 Jango and 1 Sora today. ;D
-
Hit a local Target near work this morning around 9:30AM. Found the Anakin, Obi-Wan, Lushros Dofine, Holographic Ki-Adi-Mundi, & General Grievous from the Battle of Coruscant wave. They also got in two Hoth Vaders, a Carkoon Han, Leia, and Boba Fett. Regretfully, I did not see a single Firespeeder Pilot, Foul Moudama or Cmdr. Cody figure but there was one guy walking around with a lone Clone Trooper.
Alas, the only figure I picked up was the Holographic Ki-Adi-Mundi as he is the only one from this wave I want besides the three that I did not see today.(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/DarthAcroyear/bloodwing-smiley-010.gif)
-
WOOT! I hit the local Target store today over lunch and BAM! Coruscant, baby! ;D
Instead of just a lone Bib staring at me from the pegs today, they had:
One of these cases:
2x Scorch, 2x #26 Utapau Clone, 2x Yoda, 1x Jango, 1x Sora, 1x Han, 1x Leia, 1x Chewie, 1x Fett
And one of these Cases:
2x Vader (Saber Out), 2x #26 Utapau Clone, 1x each of the Coruscant wave figures.
I grabbed all the #26 Utapau Clones, #21 Scorchs (or is that Scorches?), and all the Coruscant figures, so I'm now finally done the the Geonosis Wave and half-way done with the Coruscant wave.
Good day indeed! :)
-
WOOT! I hit the local Target store today over lunch and BAM! Coruscant, baby! ;D
Nice find, it is surprising to see these still hanging on the pegs at lunchtime with an 8 AM opening. Very lucky.
-

Not really(surprising)..some targets stock between 10-3 like my 2 stores, others everything is stocked before they open. Not likely stocked and sitting since opening that long as hot as these are now unless he is the only collector in his area, he isn't.
-
Yeah, this particular Target likes to stock things from about 9am-11am and really only does over-night stocking on the weekends so it's the perfect spot to hit at lunch. ;)
-
I figured...wasn't shocked at all..nice score Jeff
-
I bought my first TSC fig today (yeah, it's March... yikes), the AT AT Driver. He was part of a case that must have included figs from all three of the first waves. No Cody wave yet, unless they were all gone.
-
I would like to thank the collecting gods for allowing me to score the Firespeeder pilot and Commander Cody this morning at Target.
-
grabbed a couple U. clones last nite, just missed cody wave at WM.
-
went to 3 WM's last nite
one had 4 cases of coruscant-cody(already stripped)
another store had 3 cases of coruscant
lastly the last store had 1 case of geo wave 2.5 rev 3
got x14 u. clones
x2 scorch
x2 Cody( thanks to Darth Gambola ;))
x1 annakin
x1 Obi won
Also ..one store got in three cases of 2005 wave 3 titanium ::)
and another store got in 3 cases of Titanium figures wave 1.5 rev 1
Will pick up the rest of the Coruscant wave tommorrow..
(Darth Gambola hid them for me) I had the family with me tonite so I kinda forgot them :P 8)
-
I picked up my opener Cody and Fire pilot. All I need is one more Fire pilot and I'm caught up with everything.
-
i dont have jack! :'( :'( >:(
-
Grabbed a U. Clone from a fellow collector this morning! ;D
-
No Coruscant here in Utah. Our Walmarts all got mutiple cases of the Wave 2.5 (Genosis) with 1 Ut. Clone and 1 Scorch in each case. Clones and Scorches were cleaned out by 11pm. I got 2 Scorch's and 2 Clones and then got a Clone for a fellow collector.
Man, I wish it had been the Cody wave . . . now we the waiting begins to clean out the rest of this Genosis Wave.
-
got x14 u. clones
x2 scorch
x2 Cody( thanks to Darth Gambola ;))
x1 annakin

Will pick up the rest of the Coruscant wave tommorrow..
(Darth Gambola hid them for me) I had the family with me tonite so I kinda forgot them :P 8)
Good idea, those extra 5 figures would have really made you look bad if you added it to the 20 you had in your cart already...
-
Yeah Utah ot screwed on the waves at Wally.
I think Hasbro should have traded the U. Clone with Comm. Cody so we could have two shots at getting a Cody.
-

I love the sarcasm!! Those army builders will be all gone after this weekends SOCAL swap meet. Oh and that's my results from 3 different WM's last nite. Could have had 4 more Cody's but someone beat me to them so..it's all good SOMETIMES the other guy wins..LOL. However if you attended our local swap shop everyone wins ;D
You're right though that would have been a picture deserving cart if I had that many figures in one store!!!!
-
Went back to WM to pick up my hidden set of Coruscant + extra Cody fig.
-
I found Sola Bulq today. Not a bad jedi but I had customized one a long time ago. No clones but no worries ;D
-
Went back to WM to pick up my hidden set of Coruscant + extra Cody fig.
Got a Cody for trade? I need one. ;D
-
I had a Great Score yesterday. On my way to Work, I found an Un Open Cruscant Case, Scored Cody, Foul Moudama, Utaupa Clone x2, Grevieus Repaint, Nemodian Captain, Fire Speeder Pilot, kiadi Mundi Holo. Then on My way hamo I hit another Target and Scored Scorch x2, and Utaupa Clone x 2. That 8 Clones in one Day. It's nice tyo have a payoff after hitting Store after Store, Day after Day.
-
After about a month of seeing 4 Derlins and 3 Riekkans on Targets pegs, I went in there this morning an hour and a half after they opened and saw boxes out for stocking the pegs. There were 4 cases, the first three that the employee opened were all a mixture of Carkoon, Hoth, and Geonosis (1 Scorch per case, but no Utapau grunts) and then the 4th case was the brand new Coruscant wave and I scored Cody, 2 Utapau grunts, Foul Moudama, Firespeeder Pilot, Lushros Dofine, Anakin and Obi Wan robes, 2 Scorch. I left the Grievous and Ki Adi on the pegs. Great morning!
-
Great story and great finds. Wish it would happen here.
-
Utapau Clones x 4
Cody x 1
Foul x 1
Firepilot x 1
:)
-
Pre-ordered a Lushros Dofine off SciFiGenre.com.
-
First time poster... ;)
I keep hearing how people are finding Orange Clones and Scorches. I've been looking for weeks now and NOTHING....
Then this morning at the local Target....
I FINALLY found the Orange Clone and Scorch! ;D
Woo Hoo!
For those still looking, don't get discouraged, those figures WILL show up.
Ok, now the hunt is on for the Coruscant wave!
-
I wasn't going to buy one but alas, I found a lone Sun Fac last night and decided to buy the little bugger. I don't really care for the character but they seemed to have done a nice job on the figure.
I also got another TAC OPS Trooper at my 501st Garrison meeting yesterday.
-
picked up another Cody
and x 2 Utapau clones 8)
-
I ventured out for some groceries after the snowstorm, and I'm glad I did. This morning I was able to pick up 2x Utapau Clones, and I picked up a Scorch as well. I always said I'd only get Scorch if I found him on the pegs, and they had a few, so I decided to pick one up. There were 3x Utapau clones on the pegs when I got there, as well as some Yodas and a smattering of the Carkoon wave. They rang up at $6.63 though, so the price hike must be in effect here as well too (the pegs aren't labeled otherwise).
-
I went to Target as they opened this morning and I scored. I got 2 Utapua(sp) clones-i left 2 more- I also got 1 snowtrooper, 2 more AT-AT drivers, 1 Foul M(sp), 1 Obi Wan Jedi, ! Anakin Jedi, 1 new Greivous, 1 firespeeder pilot. They also had Holo KI-Adi-Mundi, Power Driods, New Vaders and a whole load of stuff but I only had $65 so oh well.
-
Picked up another Utapau Clone Trooper from a local Target store this morning before I went to work.
-
I picked up my frist UGH, Han. But he's a bit dinged, so I may have to upgrade.
-
I picked up my frist UGH, Han. But he's a bit dinged, so I may have to upgrade.
Han VTSC?
-
I picked up a couple AT-AT Drivers the other day... Other than that, there's nothing to really buy around here. New stuff's not hit in large numbers like some of you guys have found. At most, a case here and there.
I got a couple Utapau Clones in a package I received, but as for point-of-sale I haven't bought hardly anything. It sucks out here.
-
I picked up my frist UGH, Han. But he's a bit dinged, so I may have to upgrade.
Han VTSC?
No, no. the foil figure. :P Didn't mean to mislead.
-
Cody, Dofine and a couple troopers.
-
First time poster as well ... :)
I know people are finding Cody and the Battle of Coruscant wave. I've been looking for weeks now and NOTHING....
Then this morning at the local Target....
I FINALLY found the 2 Coruscant waves however no Cody, no Firespeeder Pilot, no Lushros Dofine and no Foul Moudama; only 4 clone troopers, 2 Holographic Ki-Adi-Mundi, 2 General Grievous and like 6 Anakin Skywalker and 6 Obi-Wan Kenobi...what is going on?
-
Ok, well after a dry spell, I finally found all of the Scorch wave and Cody wave. Picked them all up this morning ;D So i guess for now, I am all caught up.
-
Hit a couple of Targets today and picked up a Holographic Ki-Adi-Mundi & General Grievous for a friend and fellow collector here in Indy and a Foul Moudama and another couple of Utapau Clone Trooper for myself. Alas, still no Cody of Firespeeder Pilots yet.
-
Did pretty well over the past few days - found four of the foil variant UGH figures at my local Target: Cody, AT-AT Driver, Boba Fett & Snowtrooper - basically four of the six that I want REALLY bad as foil variants. If I can score a Scorch & Vader now, I'll be happy, I never expected to find four so fast.
I've also managed to score almost 2 complete sets of the Coruscant wave - I'm missing a Cody and Holo Ki-Adi Mundi opener and then I'll be done with the wave from a regular figure standpoint.
Of course, I'll keep scouring the stores to find as many UGH foil variants as I can get my hands on... even if I keep seeing the same figures over and over, I'll use them to trade for the rest of the 10.
-
Scored my 1st U clone this morning (1st of many, not 100 but maybe 5). I had to wait for the hot wheels guy to put it down and pick up the Galatic Hunt Boba Fett but once he did it was all mine.
The stock "boy" at this Target collects SW so only about half of the case makes it out at a time. I have seen him bring out only 3 or 4 figures in his hand before while keeping the rest for him. But screw it, I gots me a clone. ;D
-
Hey Gatillo! Which Target did you hit this morning? I'm in Columbus and I figure if the store has a guy collecting than our options are always going to be minimal unless he only gets one or two for himself and passes on the rest.
-
Just got a phone call from a friend here in town and I now have a Firespeeder Pilot!!! 8) Now, I just need to find a Cody! ::) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/DarthAcroyear/bloodwing-smiley-010.gif)
-
Today I found utapau clone, regular variant vader, general grievous, boba fett (probably the regular variant-flames packed under his feet) and a ki adi mundi holo figure. I also spoke to the guy at one of our local TRU and discovered they are behind on waves so they won't have the hunt figures any time soon so I may hold out that I'll get lucky there. I didn't care to hunt these down before but now that the galactic hunt is on I figure I'd have a better chance of finding the harder to find regular figures now. There's a toy show I'm hitting this Sunday so I'm curious to see what the Hunt figures are being taxed at. Probably $50ea as mentioned on another post, I'll bet the vaders are taxed at $100 after seeing what some have gone for on ebay.
-
Hey Gatillo! Which Target did you hit this morning? I'm in Columbus and I figure if the store has a guy collecting than our options are always going to be minimal unless he only gets one or two for himself and passes on the rest.
I was at Lennox. Since I work at OSU that is the one I hit in the morning. My wife went to the Sawmill one on her way to work and said the pegs were clogged with new figures but I will not make it that way today. There were no clones there but a lot of figures she had never seen, probably the coruscant wave.
-
Hit Target after work and found the renmants of the Coruscant wave. There were 5 Kenobis and 6 Anis. I got me a Lushros and left one there. There were a lot of Hoth and Carkoon figures there. Overall I was happy to see the pegs fully stocked.
-
Picked up 2x Cody and 5x U. Clone this morning.
Yesterday I was able to get 4 of the UGH figs thanks to some assistance from my girlfriend. I can now check off Han, Vader, Obi wan and Snowtrooper.
-
First time poster as well ... :)
I know people are finding Cody and the Battle of Coruscant wave. I've been looking for weeks now and NOTHING....
Then this morning at the local Target....
I FINALLY found the 2 Coruscant waves however no Cody, no Firespeeder Pilot, no Lushros Dofine and no Foul Moudama; only 4 clone troopers, 2 Holographic Ki-Adi-Mundi, 2 General Grievous and like 6 Anakin Skywalker and 6 Obi-Wan Kenobi...what is going on?
Welcome aboard! As far as your find, I haven't memorized all the assortments, but I'm fairly confident that you just happened upon the cases assortment W/O Cody or the fire pilot. The fact that upi found Clone troopers is a good sign that you were the first one there.
-
Neat story to share. Out hunting and found no Cody's but parts of Coruscant wave. Anyway, they also had 2 Scorches and 6 Utapau Clones. As I was pulilng some UGH figures for a fellow collector, a mom came around and was looking. I offered to help and suggested some figures and she said that her son had those (she was looking for a b-day party for her son). Anyway, I said kids like clones and she said, yeah, that's ture and took a Utapau Clone. I then reached up and pulled a Scorch out from the behind the figures and said, here is a clone from a video game called . . . and she said cool and took the figure.
Nice to hook up a kid with a figure made for a kid.
-
Found the remaint of Coruscant at Target,Foul.I quickly scooped him up & searched to see if someone hid a stash,no stashes today.I like Foul but I would of prefered Foul being a brand-new figure instead of a rehash.
-
Saw the remnants of the Coruscant wave at Target, Cody. I passed on him. First time I've seen a figure on the pegs in weeks. Still looking for the Firespeeder Pilot and EU Talz Jedi. Fortunatly, I preordered my Lushros and it will ship March 31st!
-
Was able to pick up:
2 Codys
2 U Clones
1 Foul Moudama
1 Lushros Dofine
1 Scorch
1 Holo Ki Adi
1 Firespeeder Pilot
1 Obi Wan
1 Grievous
Thanks in part of our SoCal get together. ;D
-
Picked up another AT-AT Pilot today.
-
I've got revision waves hitting the stores here they contain Carkoon,Hoth ,and Geonosis. No Corusant yet but I finally got the Jango I needed.
-
Slow weekend for finds, but I continue to deplete stocks AT-AT and Sun Fac's when I find them.
I ran into a UGH Obi last week at Target, but nothing since despite some pretty dedicated hunting.
-
Got hooked up with Firespeeder Pilot, 2x TH Titanium Slave 1, Titanium Obiwan's Starfighter and 2x #41 Clones from friends at the meet yesterday. ;D
-
Scored UGH variants of Anakin, Obi-Wan, Darth Vader and Han Solo!
Only need two more UGH variants and I have a complete set!
I have these available to trade:
and I need these two:
-
I got myself the UGH Commander Cody and UGH At-At Driver plus a second Firespeeder pilot and Holo Mundi (finally!) today.
-
Scored six more UGH figures for my second partial set: Cody, AT-AT Driver, Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker & Darth Vader.
The only "plus" to finding some of these is that I now have:
UGH Han Solo w/Silver Han Solo Holo
UGH Obi-Wan w/Silver Obi-wan Holo
UGH Commander Cody w/Silver Stormtrooper Holo
I already had
UGH Darth Vader w/Silver Darth Vader Holo
UGH Boba Fett w/Silver Boba Fett Holo
There are enough "bad guys" to get all six Silver Dark Side Holos plus one repeat, but there are only three "good guys" so in order to get a complete set of 12 Silver Holos you're going to need to double up on the good guys.
Damn my OCD - it's making this whole thing all the more frustrating!
-
I picked up the Geonosis C-3PO and Jango Fett on Saturday, and I really like them.
-
At Wal-mart yesterday I picked up Obi-wan,Grevious,Lushros and an Anakin that was hiding behind some vader helmets.
-
Received my newforce case of wave 4, which is actually wave 2.5. I finally have a UT clone to open, and a scorch. :)
-
Finally got a Utapau Clone on Monday and also spotted my first UGH figure...Han Solo.
-
Picked up another UGH Obi-Wan Kenobi this morning. I'm doubling up where necessary so I also have a complete set of all mini-holos with the silver/pewter deco. I have at least one of each mini-holo in silver except Luke and Rebel Trooper now.
-
Finally got a Sun Fac. He rocks. I want 4 more. ;D
-
Unbelievably, Sun Fac is hanging around here (I have 3 open looking at me now). If you need me to pick a couple up, drop me a PM-
-
Picked up a TSC Cody to finish off that wave. Also scored UGH Han and Vader. I almost blinded myself while trying to clear the fingerprints off the foil logo in the light. Guess I can't blame that on the HW guys though as I'm sure they wouldn't have been on the pegs to begin with.

I ordered a few of Cody and the Firespeeder Pilot from KBToys.com last night. No more empty runs to Target for me. Now I'm waiting for Walmart to get in some UGHs.
-
This weekend I am getting Cody and 2 Utapau clones.
Its sweet!
I have yet to find a scorch.
-
Pick up another Clone Trooper. I saw six and bought only one. In retrospect, I should have bought at least one more but it's not that big a deal. ::) I also saw two Scorch figures and left both. No sign of Cody, the Firespeeder Pilot, or the UGH variant chase figures but I have a pretty good ideal of who did. >:(
-
Picked up a Vader an upgrade Han UGH yesterday. Two more to go, Boba and Snowtrooper.
-
Picked up two more Utapau Clone Troopers. :) A couple more I should be hitting my limit. I think. ::)
-
Picked up a Holo Ki Adi for trade.
-
Scored 2 Han and Vader UGHs.
-
Need anything in trade for mr. vader :P
We're dragging up here with the Hoth wave, so I bought a snowtrooper and AT-AT driver to help with the sales. Don't need them, but the more the merrier.
-
I picked up a Cody and At-At driver UGH today. These are extras, I need Fett and the Snowtrooper to polish off my collection, so if you got 'em and need mine, let me know.
-
Thanks to a friend of mine, I now have one Cody and two more Clone Troopers. 8)
-
Picked up a TSC Cody to finish off that wave. Also scored UGH Han and Vader. I almost blinded myself while trying to clear the fingerprints off the foil logo in the light. Guess I can't blame that on the HW guys though as I'm sure they wouldn't have been on the pegs to begin with.
Heh,maybe the Hot Wheels guys didn't have that much money so they fingered them up. :P Oh yeah,cool IZ avatar too!
-
Whoa, I just openned a Cody (normal one, not UGH)... are you f-n kiddin' me?! I mean, "YES" I love it... but articulation is better. You know I'm right. The LEGS HAVE TO MOVE!!!!
I'm NOT complaining Hasblo.... but... seriously.... I WANT A SUPER ARTICULATED CODY AND SO DOES EVERYBODY!!!! Also...
Where's the TRU ATAT, or ATTE????
Sorry, but let's get serious.
PLEASE GIVE THEM TO US!!!! (I know you're reading this.)
8) 8) 8)
... A VEHICLE TO STOCK OUR CLONE ARMIES....
... AND LET THE FULL DESTRUCTIVE ABILITY OF THE "GRAND EMPIRE" LAY WASTE!
-
Was able to pick up a UGH Snowtrooper from a friend today.
-
Scored the Talz Jedi and an Utapau Clone on Wednesday, then Friday night I picked up Lushros and Obi-Wan, and I found another Utie Clone that I left behind.
Done pretty good this week. Now if I could locate a Firespeeder Pilot, Scorch, and Cody, I'd be set.
-
Scored Cody, holo Mundi, Firespeeder Pilot, and an Utapau Clone today at a small town WM. I suppose it was a case that didn't have Obi-Wan, Grievous, or Scorch, since those were the only figures that weren't there.

Found a surprise tonight at Walmart. One lone fig. A Galactic Hunt Cody. My first Galactic Hunt fig. I did not even realize it was one til I got to the checkout. I was just excited to finally find a Cody. The only thing that makes any sense it that someone hid(?) the figure in the stockroom and another employee put it out.

Nah, other things make sense. It's not always an evil employee man. I see lone figs scattered all the time in other aisles from kids who get their little mitts on them and run around with a figure until their mother tells them "no," then it gets tossed 6 aisles away and put back on the pegs during cleanup sometime later.
-
Scored an extra Scorch at Target tonight while picking up Narnia.
-
Go figure, the day that I receive my Geo and Corscant wave from NF, I decide to order the same figures from HTS.com.
Good news is I got my figures for $5.25 with free shipping from HTS!
Maybe I can take them back to Wal-Mart...
-
Lushros Dofine (x2)
-
Got 5 Sun Facs from HTS.com
-
For anyone in Arizona along the 10 between Pheonix and CA, my wife picked up a set of vintage figures for me at a Target.
-
picked up VTSC Han and Greedo at Target.
-
Snagged my first Scorch yesterday. There was an Utapau Clone right behind him on the pegs that I actually had in my hands and was debating on picking up for trade bait, but gave it up to a little kid and his mom who saw it in my hands :D
-
Scored a TSC Snowtrooper @ Target.
-
Picked up a VTSC Scout, Tusken and Luke to complete the set on my way home from work tonight. Now I can send away for the Lucas Stormtrooper! ;D

I got VTSC, yay!
-
picked up all UGH at 2 Wal Marts last nite pending a trade for a vader-then I'll have 'em all! Phew that's done :)
-
Does that mean you'll pick up anymore that you see for me?
:D
-
Scored 2 Vintage TSC Biker Scouts! I could of grabbed the whole case or a full set, but I was just going for a Biker Scout appetizer since I preordered a case from Newforce.com.
-
Received my Lushros Dofine I ordered from SciFiGenre.com in the mail today. Best. Neimoidian. Ever. I'll post a review soon.

They're currently for trade in my Swap Shop as I really have no interest in them but would like some Scorches ;)
-
Picked up a Biker Scout and Tusken Raider VTSC today at Target. ;D
-
Picked up another Scorch and Clone Trooper.
-
Picked up several Cody's, two for me, and four for other collectors. These were at Walmart in elongated cases that had displays in them. Done with Coruscant and only wanting 3 from the next wave (1 of each of the Catinia, and maybe 1 Sandtrooper). Other than that, I think I am done for this year except for a battle in the senate, and 1 ARC exclusive.
-
Grabbed my 3rd VTSC Scout trooper. Man I love these things. Hasbro should rerelease the speeder bike.
-
Picked up the last Scorch I need to do my Republic Commando squad customs.
-
Picked up 1 more VTSC Tusken Raider and 4 more VTSC Biker Scouts! ;D
-
Picked up a set of VTSC today + an additional scout for my boy. :)
-
Yesterday I picked up a case VOTC from Target and this morning I got 2 more Biker Scouts. I'm willing to bet that this initial shipment is going to be scarce soon, but hopefully in a week or two they'll get more.
BTW, again, Target has it's own case and the quantity is 3200.
-
Found some U clones today at Target and got some AT-AT drivers at the TRU 3/2 sale.
-
Holy ****. I know you're not gonna believe this, but...
I SCORED A VTSC BIKER SCOUT AT TARGET!! WOO!! WOO!!
It rang up as $12.99. They also had all the other VTSC figures in the series.
-
Today I picked up a couple of the senate battle packs at Target. :)
-
Picked up utapau trooper and (Muftak) jedi
-
Picked up all the new vTSC figs plus an extra Biker Scout today.
-
I picked up the Skirmich Battleback yesterday. Didn't have to ask anyone to pull it out, it was on the shelf.
-
Coruscant jackpot!
I hit the same Target where I found the VTSC wave yesterday, and they restocked with ALL of the Coruscant wave. Strange thing was, they had two full pegs of VTSC yesterday, but when I looked today, there wasn't any VTSC figures at all! Glad I got my VTSC Biker Scout when I did... Back to Coruscant, I picked up Foul Moudama. The Fire Pilot looked tempting, but I only brought money for Foul and a bottle of Vault.
-
Got the Target Grevious today and I got a PM notice that my UGH Boba and Snowtrooper on the way. With that, somehow, I'm completely up to date on basic releases.
Now, for some more Army Builders. :P
-
Got a notice today that my UGH Vader is on it's way...I'll be complete with those when I receive it.
In other news... today I got x2 Greivous, demise of, figs today with another Biker scout VTSC fig. at Target. Now I'm complete with everything currently available again(until tommorrow when something ELSE comes out ::) :P)
-
I finally found another Scorch today. What's weird is the U.Troopers were not present, but all the other figures from the Geonosis case were. Odd.
-
Yeah I am seeing strange case ratios. Before my Dentist this AM I was first in at my closest Walmart and opend a case on the floor. The contents were:
UGH Fett
UGH Cody
UGH Snowtrooper
UGH AT-AT Driver
Utapau Clones x 3
Anakin
Obi-Wan
Grievous
Foul Moudamma
Firespeeder Pilot
-

Entertainment Earth shows a case called wave 3 rev 1 which has no U. clones in it, but does have a scorch...assuming it's that one?
The one Jim found, though..that sounds wild. 4 UGH's in one box?! What the? :o
-
I stopped by TRU over lunch today and I was able to pick up most of what I wanted from the Coruscant wave. I got the Firespeeder Pilot, Foul Moudama, and the repacked Obi-Wan Kenobi. Plus, they had the buy two get the third free, so it didn't end up too bad. TRU was well stocked, the first time this year. They actually had almost all of the Coruscant wave, aside from Anakin and of course, Cody. I stopped by WM as well, and after having bare pegs for weeks they were fully stocked as well. It looked to be the Carkoon/Hoth/Geonosis assortment, and then as I was leaving there was a little side endcap (8 pegs or so) filled with parts of the Coruscant wave. Everything but Cody, Grievous, Obi and Anakin. I actually saw 4-5 Utapau clonetroopers today, although I left them on the pegs. I need to cut back a little, and I already have two. Now if I can just find that pesky Cody, I'll be caught up (aside from the VTSC).
-
Today's haul included a VTSC Biker Scout and the Demise of General Grievous. I would hae bought more of the VTSC if they weren't $12 a pop.
-
Used the DCPI number at target and scored 1 luke and 2 biker scouts fresh from a new case, I left the rest. Now like most other folks I'm still trying to find Cody.
-
Picked up the lone Firespeeder Pilot I saw at Target this morning. The store had quite a few Battle of Hoth, Geonosis, and Coruscant figures this morning around 10:30am but I didn't see any Cody or UGH figures. They did have four or five Clone Troopers and a couple of Scorch figures which I left on the pegs.
-

**** you.

-
Had a Great Score this Morning! I found 3 Cases of the Coruscant Wave on the Pegs. Picked Up 1 Cody, 3 Utapau Troopers, 2 Fire Speeder Pilots, 3 Scorches, and 2 of the Scorches are the UGH Chase figures. I left 1 Cody, 2 Utapau Troopers, and an UGH Grievous. I stiil have Not fountd the Target Exclusives or the VOTC figs.

I was able to snag a couple of the Skirmish at the Senate Battle Packs today.

Finally some new figs. No Senate set but that cool. I got Cody, Foul M, Fire Clone and saw several U clones that I resisted like a mad man.
-
Finally snagged Cody, both, saga & UGH and Firespeeder Pilot.

They did have a couple of Scorch figures which I left on the pegs.

What the frell did I do to get that? ??? I have one opened and one carded and I've already help all my friends who didn't find one on their own to get one. Am I to buy eveyone I see from now on so no one else here in Indianapolis may do so???
-

I'm just angry that I can't find Scorch.

From what I hear Scorch is crap, is like Commander Baccara, 50:50 good:pure crap
-

Bacara wasn't crap! He was my favorite ROTS Clone!
-
I am really sorry to hear that. :'(
-
Scored the entire vintage wave plus 1 extra Tusken Raider. NICE!
-
Picked up 2 Cody's (both spoken for by fellow collectors) a Firespeeder pilot (my 2nd), 2 Utap. Clones and a Dofine (fellow collector serving in Iraq).
Also picked up as posted in the ROTS thread, 4 Jedi Temple Assults from Kmart. They are hitting again but cost more; $29.99 minus 10% so $26.99 plus tax or $28.77. Sure like those 501st better than the Tac Ops though!
Edit: I have 2 JTA's so I am going to return the other 3 and keep only 1.
-
Foul Moudama
Commander Cody
UGH Scorch
Utapau Clone Trooper (x3)
Firespeeder Pilot
-
My two loose Biker Scouts arrived from China today. YaY!
-
Target near work put out another case of figures today. I picked up a Cody for a friend of mine in Ohio and a Foul Moudama w/Yoda and an UGH Anakin w/Vader for a friend of mine here in Indy. The Anakin UGH was the only one I saw there and I only saw the one Cody. There were no Firespeeder pilots. Other then that, they had the rest of the Coruscant wave
-
My UGH Boba and Snowtrooper arrived today! I might try to upgrate the snowtrooer, but for all intents and puposes, I have a complete UGH set.
-
found the vtsc
-
They did have a couple of Scorch figures which I left on the pegs.

Same here.
-
Finished off my US carded UGH set this morning and got the vtsc figures yesterday.
Walmarts have been putting out shippers full of sw figures. They are long boxes like the rots ones that they put on the shelves in the aisle or up front. Each one has 2 UGH figs, cody, firespeeder pilot, I think scorch and the orange clone are in there too. But hit em up everyone
-
Yeah, we got those last week ..the long cases. Funny thing was on last thurs. night they put of 5-6 cases of them per store, then the next night each store got in 3 more cases. Now, a week later, 90% of those coruscant figs are sold already :o!
-
Got old Saga stuff in the mail today. ;D
-
Scored the Sandtrooper titanium this morning. Be on the lookout.
-
I reluctantly bought a Lushros Dofine yesterday so I could get the Emperor mini-holo to complete my set. Wish I could have found a more exciting figure though.

Pffff! Second-biggest pegwarmer in the current line next to Hoth Vader! Awesome my hydrospanners! ;D
Seriously, he's a great-looking figure and all, just not my cup o' tea.
-
Senate and Grievous. 8)
-
Scored another Scorch.
-
Picked up a VTSC Raider, Han, Greedo and Luke X-wing from TRU this morning and another Skirmish at the Senate BP this afternoon thanks to a friend ;). Also finally picked up my package from China at the post office w/ my VTSC Scout Troopers.
-
With the TRU Sale I decided to stock up some. It brought figures to roughly $4 and change after tax, not tooooo bad really... COnsidering this year's crappy prices and weaker figure efforts I figured it was the only way I'd really cave on some custom fodder and army builders.
I got:
5 AT-AT Drivers, 2 GONK droids, Major Derlin, and a SNowtrooper. The snowtrooper was for my gf's son. I'm refusing to buy that POS kitbash. Super articulate it or don't put it out there, that's my opinion on him.
I went to another TRU then last night, they'd had some COruscant Wave and Carkoon remnants... They have 0 figures. The one I got all the above stuff at has barely anything left now I hear tell as well.
When will these stores realize that $4 and change moves figures well... $7 let's them rot. The only way my TRU's make room is when either the figure is rare and moves like Scorch and Cody, or when there's a sale. Otherwise finding stuff (if you aren't picky) at TRU has been a breeze. They're the only store with a lot of dedicated peg space for Star Wars these days.
-
$4? They cost me $5.04 here in CA after tax.
-
5 AT-AT Drivers, 2 GONK droids, Major Derlin, and a SNowtrooper. The snowtrooper was for my gf's son. I'm refusing to buy that POS kitbash.
Hasbro won - you still bought it! ;D
-
It makes me happy :) and sad :'( to say I got a Skirmish in the Senate Battle pack today. Why sad you ask? Because Hasbro duped me into buying the freaking ROTS Palpatine and Yoda, again.
-
TRU had the Courasant wave case laying open the floor just after open so I helped myself to Cody, Firespeeder pilot, and holo Mundi.
-
Picked up a "Skirmish in the Senate" battle pack this morning at Target. :)

No, Hasbro won irregardless because Retail bought it...
I won because I got it at a price I found "acceptable". :) $4+ isn't shabby to me on most figures despite shortcomings. BTW you're right Anton that it was closer to $5 but they were still under $5 a figure for me... The Sales Tax in PA is substantially less, though for cost of living here it evens out to the majority I'm sure.
Anyway I'm ok with that on a lot of those figures, and the AT-AT Driver is pretty decent even at $7-ish. I felt like I came out on top... Oh and the kid was disappointed in the Snowtrooper when he opened it. I tried telling him it's not like his Clones... He wanted something though, so he took that and now the Snowtrooper's acting as a target for all his figures he likes.
-
I found about 11 cases of Vintage TSC figures at the Super Wal-Mart last night set up on an endcap. They were in those long shelf display boxes 4 wide and 3 deep, but with only 10 figures per box, 2 cardboard spacers were used to keep them tight. The display box had the UGH logo and Mail away offer printed on a raised section in the middle. These boxes looked cool so I grabed a couple to display my figures.
-
Anyone know when Florida is getting these mass amounts of Coruscant/VTSC?
-
2 x Scorch and Orange trooeprs
-
2 Biker Scouts, 1 Tusken Raider, 1 Luke X-Wing and 1 Endor Han.
-
Alot of VTSC + Titanium silver death star 5 pack at WM + 1 Scorch
-
4 Utapau Clones...
I've yet to catch VTSC anywhere. Jon, can you let me know (PM if you'd like) price you got the VTSC at WM by chance? If not it's ok, I'm just curious since that's the first I've heard of Vintage at WM.
BTW our WM's got figures in man... Finally. Every one in the area seems to have gotten those 36 figure cases. Some got less than others it appears, but all at least got one case in... And of course got picked over irght away and nothing any good was at them but the 4 Clones I ran into. :) It's ok, it wasn't a toy run anyway.
Funny though that stuff started to surface... finally, at our WM's.
-
Last two days have been pretty good...
Yesterday: Two full sets of the VTSC figures.
Today: The three Skirmish in the Senate Battlepacks I wanted and the two Demise of Grievous figures I needed.
-
10$ (or $9.99) is the pre-tax price of VTSC at Wal Mart. Jesse- these were actually found a week earlier by a few people in various areas at WM's.
-
Picked up two more Scorch at Walmart.
-
SITS Battlepack
VTSC Tusken, 2 Biker Scouts at Walmart for $9.96 each
:)
-
Finally had a person at Target check stock for me. Brought DCPI for Grievous and Vintage and they brought out 3 cases of each. Bought two of each and walked away happy for once. ;D
-
I also had luck with a Target red-shirt today. He looked up the DPCI for the exclusives and brought out 1 each of the Demise of Grievous and Skirmish in the Senate.
He said since they had a "street date" of 4/30 he could only bring out 1 of each, but 1 of each is better than zero of each. ;)
-
Hmmm...April 30th, eh?
Happens to fall on a Sunday so maybe they will be in the circular.
-
I picked up a set of the VTSC today and mailed out for my Lucas figure. Also picked up the other version of C-3PO i needed.
Nothing with Target yet though.
-
I picked up two Scout Troopers, a Tusken Raider and a X-Wing Luke all for $9.99 each at Toys R Us. They had a full case but that is all the money I had.
-
Picked up two more Biker Scouts at WM.
-
I picked up three more Biker scouts today. 2 from Target, 1 from my friend who picked them up at WM.
-
a set of vTSC and an extra Biker 8)
now gonna crack them open and send off those points for the Lucas Stormie ;D
-
Hmmmm...
3 x Demise of Grievous
2 x VTSC Biker Scouts
1 x VTSC Han Solo
1 x VTSC Luke Skywalker
2 x Skirmish in the Senate Battle Packs
-
Walked into TRU at 11 AM, and thought I scored the motherload when I saw 10 VTSC figures hanging on the pegs. Promptly grabbed 2 tusken raiders and 2 biker scouts and was on my way...
And then went into Walmart where BAM, came across an endcap over-*******-flowing with the long VTSC displays. There was 30 of each figure. I took 12 biker scouts and left the rest there. I paid cash.
Let me tell you, pulling out the credit card would have been a very bad idea, because I would have bought all 30 scouts.
Now, to begin painting the Kashyyyk BARC camo to display some with my Preview Wookiee army...
-
I got one of each of the 5 VTSC. Here is my Tusken on Bantha:

Picked up another Battle pack today. I hope it's my last one.
-
One set of the VTSC and a couple of extra Biker Scouts from Walmart and a Cody and a Firespeeder Pilot from a friend who met me at that very same Walmart so that he could buy a set of VTSC figures.
-
Picked up another full set of VTSC. Now all I need from this wave are a pair of Biker Scouts, for my four-man squad.
Helped a friend pick up the Demise of Grievous and Skirmish in the Senate battlepack at the same Target - I got an employee to pull all three things, the Targets here in NJ have not been putting them out unless you ask.

Hey Pete, whioh Target(s) are you doing this at? All the Targets I've been to in NJ tell me that they can't get anything from the back room ::)
-
I made a stop at TRU this morning, and found my first VTSC figures. I picked up the three they had out (Han Endor, Luke X-Wing, Greedo) for $9.99 each. They were the "taped shut" ones the way it looked, haven't gotten a chance to open them or anything yet. Happy to find them, hopefully the rest will show up now. I'm debating whether to cancel a preorder I had through BBTS for a set of 5, although I still haven't found the other two - and actually want several of the Scout, and extra Han or two, and a couple of Tuskens. We'll see. Hopefully this series won't be too tough to find.
-
Picked up a couple Biker Scouts and a Han at KB. They were taped.

Toms River and Brick. Check the store reports over in the NJSWCC, they are getting put out now at a bunch of stores throughout the state. I think someone even found the VTSC figures at a WalMart in South Jersey.
-
Oh well, I live way up north from there, in the Hoboken/Bayonne/Jersey City area... damn.
-
Picked up two more VTSC Biker Scouts and one more VTSC Tusken Raider. Now I'm all done with VTSC Wave 1.
-
Got hooked up with two more VTSC Biker Scouts today from a friend.
-
Picked up VOTC2 Han, Lushros, Grievous, Anakin, and Obi-Wan at Wally World today.
-
Picked up my first 2 UGH figures, Vader and Han Solo. They must have just put them out on the pegs becuase they were right in front. I wasn't even looking for them, I actually went to Walmart to find the Marvel Legends 2=packs.
-
Well, I've had some good finds in the past week or so... and since I'm new, I'll just post them all.
Easter: U troop + Grievous
Tuesday: Lushros Dofine
Friday: another U troop + FS Pilot
and the week before last, I got a Scorch and a Vintage Biker Scout 8)
I'm happy :P
-
Scored 6 VTSC Biker Scouts early this evening. YAHOO!
-
>:(
-
Picked up 1 more VTSC biker scout. I will stop here at 15. I think.
-
Yeah, I have 15 extra/18 total (got 14 in one day)
-
scored my first b. scout yesterday @ d-land. :-\
-
Wow! How much do THEY charge for them? Are they 10$ like WM?
-

My local stores still haven't stocked the Utapau wave. :( I managed to pick up a few Utapau clones a few weeks ago, but it sounds like they were released early. So I'm still waiting to find a Cody and FS Pilot...
-
I just went to Wal-Mart and they must have just put out about ten cases. I only bought 4 Cody's, but they had a bunch of the Ultimate Galactic Hunt figures, more Cody's and everything else.
-
I almost acquired the skirmish BP, it said they were in stock, but the employee started rambling on about how he couldn't put these out until the release date, and the manager said not to sel therm until that day. I asked him when the date was, and he said "I'm not sure, but you could probably find it in on the internet somewhere". I'm guessing the date is April 30th, which is their reset date.
-
I almost acquired the skirmish BP, it said they were in stock, but the employee started rambling on about how he couldn't put these out until the release date, and the manager said not to sel therm until that day. I asked him when the date was, and he said "I'm not sure, but you could probably find it in on the internet somewhere". I'm guessing the date is April 30th, which is their reset date.
The jackass couldn't even tell you the date? Great customer service.
-
tell me about it...
-
I believe it's April 24th. At least that's the reset date in my Targets. There may be regional differences.
-
that was yesterday. :-\
so apparently that wasn't THIS Target's reset date.
-
Mine either. On the phone today, they refused to even admit they had any SW product. I called about VTSC and was about to give the DCPI when she asked me what it was. I said "Star Wars figures". She tells me, "We don't have any Star Wars". I said, "No Star Wars product at all?" "No, we don't have any Star Wars yet". ::)
I got a second Tusken at Walmart. They had a ****-ton of nothing but Han and Greedo. (My Tusken was already on layaway.)
-
Picked up a Sun Fac at Target.
-
Picked up the Target Grievous and the Senate pack today ;D
-
Just picked up all VTSC at WM this morning. Now I can send in for GL Stormtrooper.
-
I stopped by Wal-Mart yesterday afternoon and they had those end cap displays full of the VTSC. They are all packed in the cardboard displays, so I even got to take one of those home too. Not sure what I'll do with it, but I thought I'd take it just in case. I picked up 3x Biker Scouts, another Han Endor, and a Tusken Raider. I'd like to get a few more extras, but thought I better cap it at 5 figures for the day since they are $9.96 a pop. But, either way, I'm caught up with the VTSC for now, so I'm quite happy for that. Still no new basic figures, just looking for Cody at this point.
-
Using the DCPI, picked up all VTSC figs except Greedo... just can't bring myself to pay for that felt vest yet. Picked up 2 Biker Scouts. Guess I'll have to break down to buy Greedo so I can get the GL Stormtrooper. Still looking for Skirmish BP.
-
Just snagged the Demise of Grievous and Skirmish at the Senate.
Man the Grievous figure is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETA!!!!!
-
I picked up 2X Scorch 2X orange clones, Sora Bulq, Sun Fac and Poggle the Lesser at a couple local WalMarts. ;D
Still no VSTC figures in sight here.
-
Just snagged the Demise of Grievous and Skirmish at the Senate.

Really? All I have heard is that it is pure crap. I left it on the pegs myself.
-
Picked up a Firespeeder Pilot, Commander Cody, and Utapau Clone at Walgreens today.

I originally thought our Rodian friend would be hanging around for clearance, but by the looks of TRU, Walmart and Target around here, he's never going to make it that far.
-
I stopped by Wal-Mart yesterday to pick up a few extras of the VTSC. I got a third Han (1 to keep carded, 2 loose), as well as another Luke X-Wing and Tusken. As I expected, the Scouts were all picked over and gone, but they had a few of everyone else - and lots of Greedo. They also freshly stocked the basic figures on the opposite side of this "middle aisle display", but of course they had plenty of all except Cody. The only figure I need to get caught up at this point, at least until Mos Eisley/Tatooine shows up.
-
Not realy a recent purchase/ more like a recent acquisition...
last night traded to HW TH straight across for 2 UGH, a Grievous and ATAT driver
in another trade.. acquired 1 bossk and 1 sandtrooper titanium for future pending deal at CC + cash.
-
Picked up a Clone Wars Gunship today. Cost is $44.99 plus tax or $47.96 in my neck of the woods.
Edit: Let me clarify. My 12 year old son was with me, and he works with us in cleaning my wife's work 1x a week and earns money for doing this. He has a CD that he saves into (30% of the $50 he gets a month) and saves the rest so he can buy stuff when he sees something he wants.
Anyway, he pointed out to me that I DID NOT buy this, but he did and it is his. I wrote a check and he had to go with me and withdraw the money so I could deposit into the checking account. Long story, but its important to him so thanks.

I think thats awesome you do that with your son TBG. I wish my parents had done the same thing with me. Nice find by the way.
-
Found the Senate battle pack. To be honest, my wife found and bought two sets for me. They had Grevious and VTSC Greedo but I passed.

Congrats to BlackDog!
I'm new on the JD forum. My Jedi MAster TheBlackDog65 brought me over here. I am young in the ways of the Force, as I have only started collecting since ROTS. If you want to know more about me, and believe me YOU DO, check out my profile.

Picked up a Skirmish BP this evening.
-
Great Find! I got:
1 Commander Cody
3 Utupau Clones
2 Skirmish in the Senate BP's
2 Demise of Grievous's
2 Firespeeder Pilots
;D
-
Picked up my last BP today.
-
1 Demise of Grievous, my last (hopefully) Utapau Clone and Firespeeder Pilot.
-
Picked up my last 2 Skirmish BP this morning.
-
Found Heroes and Villains figures as three separate Walmarts this morning. I managed to miss the Clone Pilot at every single one.
-

I originally thought our Rodian friend would be hanging around for clearance, but by the looks of TRU, Walmart and Target around here, he's never going to make it that far.
Also remember that he's got articulated elbows, ankles and wrists this time as well.
-
Scored a Firespeeder Pilot at Wal*Mart.
-
Hoth Vader.
And I like him. :) Still need to get an Evolutions Anakin set though.
-
Hoth Vader.
And I like him. :)
;)
-
Really? All I have heard is that it is pure crap. I left it on the pegs myself.
I actually love the flame look onthe Grevious figure.
As for the Senate pack - I could do without the Emperor figure, but the Shock troopers and a senate pod are great ideas. I can't wait to see someone do a custom diorama with the senate filled with these.
-
I just Received my Vintage Collection Biker Scouts in the Mail today. They were Loose, but I had no need for 6 Carded Biker Scouts. I got them from a Guy over in China Through ebay. Here's a link to his Store:
Black Sheep Toy store (http://stores.ebay.com/Black-Sheep-Toy-Store)
I recived my Items Quickly and the shipping was reasonable.
-
My Early Bird set finally arrived in the mail this morning so that started my day in a nice way. Then I saw six of the "Heroes & Villians" wave figures at Walmart. I picked up the Clone Trooper and Cmdr. Bacara for myself and some other guy got the Mace Windu, R2-D2, Destroyer Droid, and Anakin. I think he was a little put out that I got the two that I did but that's his tough luck. Lucky for me, these are two of the only three figures I want from this wave, the last one being the black Clone Pilot, so I think I did pretty well.
They also had a few VTSC figures left so I grabbed yet another Biker Scout and Sand Person figure.
-
Scored two Scouts, one Endor Han, and one Pilot Luke at WM last night.
'Bout damn time us Iowa folk got in on this VTSC love.
-
Picked up som more VTSC bikerscouts. Seems their was a flurry of sightings in my area yesterday.
-
VTSC HAN SOLO!!
Bwahahahahaha!
"I have you now!"
Sorry, just kinda happy about it ;) He's one great figure. The only things I've found to dislike are that I'm afraid in messing with his waist joint that I'll eventually screw it up and it'll get all floppy and loose, and that his belt hangs kinda weird. I don't think they glued it in the right place...
But he's soooooooooooo awesome! Mwahahah!
Sorry >.<
POTF2 Trenchcoat Han is so very, very retired.
-
Got a Gummi Mundi. Never even saw him in ROTS pegs.
-
TRU CW Gunship yesterday afternoon ;D
-
Three more Biker Scouts today, two from Target, one from Newforce. Theoretically, provided Newforce doesn't cancel the second half of my order, I'm done with the Bikerscouts.
-
I've gotten jack and **** from Newforce so far... I have a case on order so I'd better get the damn thing. >:( I'm not lookin' hard for VTSC simply because I get my doubles and triples out of my case order... It's irritating getting no word on those though.
-
But he's a great guy.
::)
-
But he's a great guy.
::)
Yeah and so is Red5Sixx.
-
;D scored my skirm @ the senate. man that was a long dry spell of not finding anything new.

Glad I went with EE for my next wave. I've always heard how nice NewForce is but that due to issues beyond his control he sometimes cannot deliver. So I guess I have to go where the consistency is. Business experience would tell me that in time, if NewForce cannot get this issued resolved, they are going to really be hurting as customers shy away from them, which is unfortunate.
-
But he's a great guy.
::)
Yeah and so is Red5Sixx.
;D 8)
-
Picked up the 3 Clone repacks in the Hero/Villain line (SA Clone, Bacara and Black Pilot). Also picked up another Senate pack for trade.
-
My Lucas Family pack arrived today, same day I got notice of shipping. :P
-
Thanks to JayDouble, i finally got my hands on a Senate BP :)
-
VTSC Luke.Best...Luke....EVER! :P
-
My gf got her son the JTA battlepack...
I picked up a VTSC Scout and Sand Person for myself tonight.
Not much else on the pegs worth buying though... Other VTSC but restraint got the better of me.
-
Well, I haven't really picked up much but this weekend I was out and about and picked up UGH Han Solo, then a UGH AT-AT driver. This got me in the search mood so I ended up going all over the place and ended up with 3 more UGH, scorch, snowtrooper and grievous. I also ended up picking up the Demise of Grievous. I had hit 3 Targets and when I got to the last one they had 2 on the pegs. I figured I'd rather pick it when I saw it since all the other stores had empty pegs for it than wish I had picked it up later. TRU had just put out a fresh case of VTSC so I picked up the biker scout (since I figure he'd be harder to get later) and the tusken raider (which is my fav of the set). They were around the $9.99 price point. I'll pick up the rest later when I can swing the extra cash so I can get the lucas trooper. I also ended up ordering a shadow trooper of sws.com. I got to thinking with the VOTC figs that I would like to see them release a 12 back set like this. Do the original 12 figs in VOTC style with vintage repro's of the original 12 backs, just with the new figs instead. Not that I'm all excited for this to happen but I think it would be cooler than the card backs they are using now.
-
TRU CW Gunship from Amazon ;D
-
I received my opener Early Bird kit. Can't believe that the alternate Chewie head made me want to get another set, but there you go.
-
I picked up another VTSC Biker Scout at Target this morning. I also ordered a Commander Cody off of Amazon. The price was more than steep ($8.99), but he's the only figure I can't seem to track down around here and I was ordering something else from there anyways. Once he's here, I should be caught up until the Tatooine wave - aside from the Skirmish in the Senate pack.
-
I bought 2 Biker Scouts, 1 Tusken, and 1 Luke, as well as Obi's starfighter in the new packaging, all at Target.
-
I had a very successful toy run yesterday! (although 1 store hardly counts as a toy run) ;)
I went to Target, ansd saw tones of skirmish packs. Then I see tons of DOGG figures. Then, I see pegs and pegs full of VTSC! Well, I only had 12 dollars and some change, so I got Luke VTSC! He rules! 8)
-
Picked up the repacks of #41 Clone, Bacara and Cody today from TRU.
-
Skirmish Senate Pack x 2
VOTC Biker Scout
DOGG
CW Gunship in hand! ;D
I see a dry spell coming soon. The only thing that is keeping me coming back is 3 UGH's I need to complete the set. Boba, Han and Vader. I found most of them so i have to finish now.....curse you Lucas/Hasbro for this crack like addiction!
I need more..........
-
Picked up the new Gunship today. Great to have that out off the way.
-
My last Biker Scout, another Cody and a Titanium Slave 1 (ESB colors)
-
curse you Lucas/Hasbro for this crack like addiction!
I've been feeling like this lately. I almost want to focus my spendings on other things, but I would seriously go through a withdrawal. I just can't take going into Target or WM without looking at the SW figs!! ;D
-

My girlfriend gave up, she knows that when we enter a store the Toy aisle is first!
I actully just had my fix...The Lucas family arrived today!
Give in man there is no point to resist...or save $$ for that matter! ;)
-
I'm far past "giving in"... I'm to that "If I give it up, I die" level now.
-
Picked up Skirmish at the Senate, VTSC Luke, Greedo, Sand People, and Biker Scout tonight.
-
TRU CW Gunship
Commander Bacara H&V Line
Clone Trooper H&V Line
(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c349/Tallman101/CompleteGunship.jpg)
-
Picked up two TRU Clone Wars Republic Gunships this morning. Got my case of Titanium Figures Wave 2.5 from EntertainmentEarth today as well. This is the case that has one of each type (both figures painted and patina finish).
Also got some items from an auction I bid on to finish up what I needed in UGH figures. Unfortunately the items came crushed and the silver foil on one figure was torn, so I'm not exactly pleased.
-
Well, after just getting my VTSC Luke, I acquired VTSC Sand person! Actually, I have a story to tell (I always have a story to tell)...
I went to the SW section of wally world. I saw tons of basic figures. No seriously, There were about 12 pegs stocked totally full with Geonosis and Coruscant. Well, the only thing I was looking for were the VTSC figures (specifically the sand person), so I was just about to leave when I saw, behind some random other items, a single peg with 2 sand people, 1 han, and about 10 Greedos. I picked up the sand person when I saw something fishy...
Ok, here's the thing: I've been collecting since I was 5. I have heard of swapouts for a year or two now, and then all of a sudden i hear TONS of stuff about VTSC pop's being stolen. But, luckily, I have never encountered any theft of any kind regarding SW items as of yesterday.
Back to the Story:
I look at one of the Greedos to see that it is very, very different than the other figures. The obvious difference is that there is NO CLAMSHELL on the Greedo figure. For a split second, I thought "why would someone take it out? Oh well". Then I realized exactly what happened. The pop's are clearly taped inside the clamshell, as everyone knows. Well, someone moronically removed the clamshell, and removed the pop (he might have taken the clamshell with him as well, because I speculated the area to see no empty clamshell). I am so furious! I know some of you guys have been putting up with this for months now, but now I realize truly how wrong it is now that I've seen it in person.
Well, at least I like my Sand person.
-
Got some more U clones (I said I was done but shiz happens). Got a FS clone and a VTSC Han. I was going to pass but I broke down.
-
I finaly found some VTSC ($12.99) and some Couruscant wave figures at a KB today (we were making a diner run and I stopped by KB) I bought two Scout troopers (the last two ;D) a Endor Han and one Saga Obi Wan, shoulda bought two more though. But I need to save up money still for the camera so I couldn't splurge.
-
I picked up a "ROTS Heroes and Villains" Chewbacca at TRU on Friday. It was the only figure they had from that line, although they did have a peg dedicated to it. Just a repack, but the cards are spiffy, and it was sort of an impulse buy. I thought I'd at least pick up Chewie, but probably not any of the others (unless I find the upcoming Shocktrooper or maybe some of the other clones). I also received my Lucas set from SWShop.com on Friday, and Commander Cody should be on the way from Amazon sometime this week. Then I'm caught up, aside from the Skirmish in the Senate box set. Hopefully Target will have it in stock this week.
-
picked up the new Gunship thanks to JayDouble
Also found at TRU, a Cody and Black Pilot on Saturday 8)
-
It never fails :), I had an order placed through Amazon that included a Commander Cody (the one basic figure I was missing) for $8.99 that I received yesterday. I didn't want to pay that much, but haven't seen them around here at all and wanted to get caught up. Of course, I stop by Target this afternoon and find two on the pegs. I did pick up another, since I wouldn't mind having an extra, but isn't that always how it goes? :P
-
Picked up 4 more VTSC Biker Scouts and Gunship yesterday.
-
Picked up 7 SA clones for customizing (and to keep 1 clean). Saw plenty (24) of the new Unleashed wave, Coruscant Wave and the Hero's and Villians. I will post this in the ROTS thread but the Walmart I went to had 2 ROTS figures; a Shock Trooper and a Sith Eyes Anakin. I scanned em and they were only 50 cents (53 cents with tax). So I had to get the Shock Trooper and the Anakin for some customs.
-
Picked up the Heroes and Villians Clones after looting a sealed case. :)
-
Got the newest REAL(7 inch) Unleashed figures tonite at WalMart
-
I just found the new Unleashed wave along with the POP cool display case at WalMart but passed on the Chewie. (Seems to be the case verywhere. They only repainted the base the other 2 at least have new bases. He is the Asajj of the 3 and may also doom future assortments......
Han is the best of the lot. The shocktrooper's head is too small compared to the rest of the body. Overall he still looks ok. My favorite part of my find was the display case that holds 12 packaged Unleashed figures.
-
Picked up a Titanium Gunship.
-
Got a set of the 7" Unleashed. Thank God that these are back now Hasbro can get rid of those smaller ones. ;D
-
Hmmm...
2 x VTSC Biker Scouts
1 x VTSC Luke
1 x Scorch
1 x Utapau Clone
1 x UGH Fett
1 x UGH Snowtrooper
1 x Unleashed Han Solo in Stormtrooper armor
1 x Unleashed Chewbacca - Revenge Of The Sith
1 x Unleashed Shocktrooper
-
Skirmish in the Senate
VTSC Greedo
-
Got a set of the 7" Unleashed. Thank God that these are back now Hasbro can get rid of those smaller ones. ;D
Don't get so excited, there are still many, many waves of the 2 in. Unleashed yet to come.

Picked up a second Hem and Garinden and upgraded my Han and Vader today. Also, found the last two figures at WM, so get out and check 'em.
-
Thanks to Starkid500 and Mister_Palpatine for the birthday wishes!
-
You're quite welcome. I hope you enjoyed yourself.
In other news, I picked up a Commander Cody and another Utapau Trooper at Kohls today. It's really funny with those Utapau troopers. I couldn't find one, and in one week I have 5. It's crazy.
-
Picked up mos Eisley wave all but Luke, R5, and hammerhead. Picked up Cody with red hologram
-
My local Target had 20 U clones yesterday, that is crazy. It had only one today so Tatooine wave should be in soon.
-
Had some good luck over the Memorial Day weekend. I found and picked up the new Unleashed at Wal-Mart on Friday (picked up Han Stormie and Shocktrooper). I saw them at two different Wal-Marts over the weekend, stuck away on an aisle away from the action figures. I also was able to pick up the Skirmish in the Senate battle pack at the Target across town from us, and I couldn't resist picking up another VTSC Scout at Wal-Mart when I saw it. Those things are so tempting when you see them in the stores ;). I think I'm basically caught up to the Mos Eisley/Tatooine wave, which hasn't shown up here quite yet. Also got to catch X-Men: The Last Stand - so a nice weekend overall :).
-
scored big time on these over the weekend. went to wal-mart, one that through most of ROTS had sqaut so i had virtually stopped going there, scored 1 luke, 2 Hem's, 2 Garidan's, 2 Firefighters. There all on layaway of course cause it was like $50 at Wally's higher prices. there were plenty of hem's, garidan's, luke's, & of course han's left over.
no R5's, Mowma's, or Sandies to be seen. also finally scored vtsc Pilot Luke only the second time i'd seen him.
-
Today was a good day! I went to Wally World, and saw pegs and pegs of TSC, yet there were only 2 Tatooine wave figures: Hem and Garindan. I bought them both.
I also saw the entire H&V wave minus the black pilot. I didn't buy a single one. Other than the SA clone, these are all crap. I might end up buying the SA clone later just to customize, but other than that, I'll be waiting until waves 2 and 3 to get excited (shockies and 501st troops--w00t!)
And lastly, I saw tons of VTSC. Luckily, I already have all 5 of mine, but there were just TONS of these babies. There were 4 or 5 pegs, and each peg had to have had at least 10-12 VTSC figures on it. Anyone army-building the scout would have been in their own little version of heaven.
Well, that's all. Now I'm just hunting for R5-D4 and the Sandy.
:)
-
Passed up 2 overpriced Bikers at Target for a Sand Person at Wal-Mart.
-
Just got a Dutch Vandar, Aayla Secura Holo, Plush MPire Clone, and a Titanium ARC-170.
Also got a SAGA Pilot (AOTC) from stormtripper.
-
TATOOINE WAVE BABY! ;D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
1 of each except Han, Lukes or Vader - they had none of these, go figure.
-
I just picked up the following figures from a local Walmart. Momaw Nadon, R5-D4, Dem Hazon, Garindan, Luke Skywalker, and two Sandtrooper. I had to make two trips tonight to do it (they didn't want to sell me any the first time around ::) ) but at least I found them. Send in the next wave! ;)
-
Just a heads up...The Hunt for General Grievous Battle Pack has been found in Idaho.
-
Picked up 2x Hem and a Garindan from Target yesterday afternoon.
-
Just a heads up...The Hunt for General Grievous Battle Pack has been found in Idaho.
That's good to hear! I can't wait for this baby!
-
I had to get to the office early today and couldn't make the 8 AM Target run, but while I was at work I saw a lot of you guys were finding Tatooine. I stopped in there at 6 PM tonight and saw a Han from the Tatooine wave hanging on the pegs, no sign of any of the figures I wanted (Sandtrooper, Garindan, Hem Dazon, Hammerhead). While I initially thought it to be, and intended to be internal monologue, I blurted out "This is _______ !!!" when I realized I missed my figures to be at work first thing in the morning. Within moments I realized that I pretty much yelled it. My first clue was the surprised look on the face of the customer standing to my left. Whoops! :-X
At any rate, I wasn't giving up that easy. I started scowering all of the adjacent aisles and endcaps for stragglers. On an endcap an aisle over I saw 2 figures laying on top of some Superman crap. Which? Hammerhead and Sandtrooper.
Thank you very much!
:D
-
Found my first Sandtrooper today.
-
Picked up an Unleashed Han Solo/Trooper at Walmart. 8)
-
I went to TRU today to avoid the traffic due to the Memorial and found the toon gunship. I was pretty happy. They had about a dozen or so. I was going to pick up a sand person but them I saw Grevious' silly string blaster under $10 and I went for that instead. I guess I am a kid at heart.
-
Lol...Picked up 2 Sandtroopers at a local Wal-Mart! ;D
-
I picked up a H & V wave black Clone Pilot. 8)
-
I picked up another VTSC Sandperson/Tusken Raider at WM last night, I think I'm done with the VTSC for this round now - but those Scouts are always tempting when you see them :). I really hope the rumored second wave becomes a reality later this year though.
-
Picked up the Tatooine wave Darth Vader. I like the packaging and the accessories on this one. Plus I only have the one 500th Vader open, and it's best left in the Meditation Chamber. So I'll pick this one up for $6.99.
-
Picked up a Demise of Grievous yesterday at Target.
-
Picked up the Tatooine wave today at walmart. I grabbed Momaw, R5-D4, Hem Dazon, Garindan, Sandtrooper, and Luke. I left behind the Han and Vader. Not really new enough for me. I really enjoy the Luke and all the accessories. I wish the Jedi Training Remote actually came out of the case though.
-
Got a sandtrooper today. Niceeeeeeeeeeeee ;D
-
I found a Garidan at Walmart yesterday.
I bought A Sandtrooper, Vader, and Hem Dazon today.
Seems to be going backwards. Should Han and Luke be still on the shelf?
-
Picked up the entire Tatooine wave minus R5-D4 yesterday at Walmart.
-
Picked up a Garindan for upgrading today. I'm almost done with this wave.
-
2x Sandtroopers
2 R5-D4s
1 Hem Dazon
1 Hammerhead
1 Luke Skywalker
1 Vader Bespin
Just need 3 more Sandies to open and Garindan MOMC and I'll be done.

Scored x4 The Hunt For Grievous BP today at my local TRU.
It was the stores' first shipment..they only got 1 case(x6) that I split with Darth Gamboa here. I power walked it and beat x5 scalpers to the treasure. I thought their bottom jaws were gonna hit the floor with envy when they saw me taking away their precious money chances with my haul ;D!
Darth Gamboa and myself done some 'intel' and knew the product was coming in this morning..it pays off to do the research when possible. ;).
I'm sure the store will get further shipments..and larger but it's nice to have this set out of the way.

Good.
But the funny thing is, I really think that scalpers are making below minimum wage with their antics. Star Wars figures are expensive right now. It's hard to mark them up that much more than they are already. Plus, the daily hunts these losers conduct must be a bitch in the wallet with the fuel costs these days. I really think that for 99% of the two bit scalpers out there, it isn't even close to being worth their while. And when they get stuck with some stuff that they can't sell, more gas to return them. You'd have to move a very large amount of figures to make a decent buck off this stuff.
I maintain to this day that a scalper has never been able to prevent me from getting the figures I want in the quantity I want them, at retail.
-
Got my second Sandie this morning. Several more and I'll be done. :P
-
must've scored somebody else's stash over the weekend, because i can't imagine finding 6 VTSC scoutroopers just sitting out there half assed on the pegs, but lucky me. ;D
-
Picked up R5 and Hammerhead at Target now I'm caught up, that was quicker than I could have hoped for.
-
Picked up the CW Gunship, still no sign of the Tatooine wave.
-
Snagged most of Tatooine with some other collector help
Just minus the Luke and R4 now..sure I will get them soon.
-
Our local TRU had a few VTSC figures clearanced due to someone stealing the papers/stickers from them for the George Trooper offer. I picked up an extra Han Endor for $6 and change.
-
Picked up another Sandtrooper on Sunday.
-
Picked up a Hunt for Grevious BP today.
-
I went to TRU to find quite a few Space Whales, but no BP's. Then I went to Target, and they had every Mos Eisley figure except for R5-D4. I got Momaw and the Sandy, which brings me to a total of 4 Mos Eisley wave figures. Once I find R5, I will be getting him, too.
EDIT: And you know what's weird? My change for my Target purchase was 66 cents. Y'know, how today is 6/6/06 and everything? Just kinda weird.
-

-
Artoo, you were in Pittsburgh? When? Why? And where? :)
You seem to be almost as betrayed as I was when the authorities didn't inform me that Morgbug had entered the states.
Someone's falling asleep at the wheel here.
-
bagged yesterday a commander cody, firespeeder pilot, scorch, utapau trooper,VOTC scout trooper and 4 clone troopers
-
I got a couple of the crystal clear Momaws today. Strangely the Hems had the painted blue glasses, and I can tell they just opened two cases this morning.
At least I finally got a Luke and three Sandtroopers.
-
Got another Sandtrooper in the mail today. ;D
-
Artoo, you were in Pittsburgh? When? Why? And where? :)
My cousin's HS graduation.Alot of my family lives up there as well. :P
-
If you're up in the area again let me know... Especially if you're around for any length of time, just drop me a line... The Toy Show is coming up in a month so maybe you'll make it up around then. It's usually pretty good.
What part of town are they from if I may ask? I live Northeast of the city proper...
-
I got 3 more Sandtroopers today! I wasn't expecting to find anything and stumbled upon 3 of them, I love pure dumb luck.

Eh,I'll probally be back next year,but I don't know yet.
-
Yesterday I got Sun Fac, a Firespeeder Pilot, and the new Anakin Skywalker. Last week, I found and purchased the new Obi-Wan Kenobi.
-
Picked up a Republic Gunship yesterday at Toys R Us.
-
I hate the dry periods but its always fun to back a get some older stuff that I missed or passed on. But I snagged:
Hunt for Grevious pack - Quite dissapointed in that one) So much potential lost.
Sand Trooper
Garandian for customs
-

Bethel,my cousin's down here for the moment.He's going to the army in 2 weeks.
-
Received a Hunt for Grievous BP in the mail. ;D
-
Ah ok, that's the other side of town from my area, but I've been out that way for certain. I live in the boonies... :) Cool knowing at least someone from the boards comes to this area.
I get lonely when all these freaking California or Minnesota guys talk about their great meetings and Star Wars parties. Bunch of freaks.
-

The comradity in that Minnesota group is awesome.
-
I cleared up Tatooine wave I needed tonight... Even did a little army building on lay-away.
I gotta say this wave's grown on me some... MOmaw Nadon still is a heavily flawed figure out of principle but the others really stand out to me.
-
The main complain I have about the cantina aliens is that they cannot put the drink down in the table they came with. I love the table accessory (like any other accessory) but with a bit of elbow articulation the figures would be perfect IMHO.
-
got my first sandie today
-
Congrats!
I am on number 4, I think I might be done with him now but a few more never hurt.......
-
Target started some clearances today. VTSC, Senate BP, Choppers (thank God) all at 15%. It is not much but not the VTSC are roughly $10 and some change. The senate packs were around 16 I think.
-
Bought a VTSC Luke on clearance at Target. Figure I might customize at some point.

Really? I got a VTSC Luke for $8.38 today. Those Greivouses were also being clearanced, as well as Attactix stuff and Vader voice changer.
-
Is that all?I may need to start hitting Target to do a lil' scout army building.

I did check Targets out by me, no clearances yet. Full price on the Senate BP and VTSC.
The same 12 Senate BPs have been on the shelves at my closest Target for a month now.
-
Found some more Sandtroopers today between Target and WM.
-
4 more Sandtroopers for me as well.
-
Found a little bit of the Tatooine wave this weekend, and picked up some extras since I have the wave (without Sandtroopers) coming in the mail this week. No sandtroopers (or R5s) at our WM, but the rest of the wave was there. Also got a set of the latest Galactic Heroes via BBTS.
-
Over the last two days, I found four more Sandtroopers. The nice thing is that I left some behind.
-
Finally found some more of the Tat wave today finally. No sandtroopers or Garidans so I picked up a Hem.
-
Received a shipment from HasbroToyShop, so I'm caught up on the Tatooine/Mos Eisley wave - aside from the Sandtroopers. I also picked up an extra VTSC Luke X-Wing this weekend, these continue to be stocked pretty heavily around town - especially at Wal-Mart now. Target's have been slowly selling through, and TRU has had the same figures hanging about for a little while now.
-
It's not really a Saga purchase, but I picked up a Titanium Ultra Gunship for $7.00 at Wal-Mart tonight.
-
Came across the first Bikerscouts I had seen in a while and picked two more up.
-
I got a General Veers, a Garindan, and another Sand Trooper today. Brings my total number of Saga Sand Troopers up to .... 2! Go me! :)

Lucky...

Ordered the SWS.com Shadow Stormtrooper a few hours ago.
-
I picked up a Sandtrooper yesterday, and today the EE clones I bought on ebay arrived. Now my AotC army is almost as big as my RotS army. If you don't count the Utapau clones. Or the 327th clones. Or the Shock Troopers. Or . . . ;D
-
Picked up another Sandtrooper today.
-
VTSC Han Solo
-
Found another sandtrooper at a WM.
-
Sheesh Anton, how many million sandies does that put you at??
-
I got "caught up" on Friday when I found a few Sandtroopers at Wal-Mart. That was short lived though, as it sounds like the Endor wave might be starting to hit now? Aside from that, I think I'm all caught up now - for the first time in a long time. The Tatooine figures continue to sell really quickly here. When I was at this WM on Friday (around 5) they had at least 2-3 of each of the figures in the whole wave. I was back at the same store on Sunday morning, and they had one Han left.
-
Finished both the Tatooine Wave and the Vintage series this past weekend. Finally found Luke Skywalker and Tusken Raider, and the Lucas POP was just sent away half an hour ago. On Saturday I popped over to the US Wal-Mart (I'm on the Canadian side) early at 7am and found nothing new... Just as I was about to leave I saw boxes waiting to be put out. The guy working over at rec said that the toy "associate" wouldn't be there until the afternoon to put them out but just when I couldn't slip any lower he asked which box I wanted to see and then he opened it up and left me to my own devices. Garindan, Han, Tatooine Luke, and my second Sandtrooper later the wave is complete. Unlike the Sith line I'm opening all of these and not buying doubles (one to keep sealed and one to display). What's the ETA on Endor?
-
I had to get to the office early today and couldn't make the 8 AM Target run, but while I was at work I saw a lot of you guys were finding Tatooine. I stopped in there at 6 PM tonight and saw a Han from the Tatooine wave hanging on the pegs, no sign of any of the figures I wanted (Sandtrooper, Garindan, Hem Dazon, Hammerhead). While I initially thought it to be, and intended to be internal monologue, I blurted out "This is _______ !!!" when I realized I missed my figures to be at work first thing in the morning. Within moments I realized that I pretty much yelled it. My first clue was the surprised look on the face of the customer standing to my left. Whoops! :-X
At any rate, I wasn't giving up that easy. I started scowering all of the adjacent aisles and endcaps for stragglers. On an endcap an aisle over I saw 2 figures laying on top of some Superman crap. Which? Hammerhead and Sandtrooper.
Thank you very much!
:D
Well, it's been 5 weeks since I posted this and found Tatooine. Guess it is time for Endor after all.
:)
-
Indeed it is! I'm bored of seeing pegs and pegs of Hem's and R5's. Even the Sandie has been warming around here. I need my Gunners! I need my 3PO's! I need my Moffs!
-

>:( >:( >:( >:(
-
Yeah, I've seen tons! I mean, I could just go out and find at least 20 hanging on the pegs...heck, maybe even 30! Or even 40!!
:P
-
Snagged X4 VTSC Biker Scout today for under 40$(no tax) at my local Base Exchange store 8)
-
Even the Sandie has been warming around here.
That's a good problem to have!
-

Yeah, I'd be happier if I were army-building him. I mean, some people are army-building him, and they have a hard time to find him. But since I was only planning on getting 1, I'm getting sick of seeing so much of him!
-
George Lucas Stormie in the mail today. ;D
-
Picked up two more Sandtroopers today and left 8 on the shelf at a WM in Ashville, NC.

-
Picked up a senate pack for 13.48. I was going to wait to 9.98 but I do not know if they will still be around and 13 for 2 troopers and a senate pod is not too shabby.
-
I wish they'd drop to that here... so far it's $1 off and that's it. Oddly though the Grievous' have flown the coupe it seems.
-
Qrievous's are still at $13.99 (And there's a ****load of 'em) and Senate BPs are still at $19.99 (And there's a ****load of 'em).
:P
:-\
-
After the buck and change drop the DOGG figures vanished from all my local Targets. The senate pakcs are moving quite well at 13.48.
-
May pick up an extra Senate pack now that it's $13 bucks.
-
Came home from vacation to find a minty Lucas/Stormtrooper waiting for me.
-
I wish they'd drop to that here... so far it's $1 off and that's it. Oddly though the Grievous' have flown the coupe it seems.

-
Scored an Imperial Gunner and Jerjerrod this week. I was shocked that all the Chirpas were gone by the time I got there, but the Gunner was still there. Shocked!
-
People haven't seen Ewoks in forever! Kids like them too. That might help you. :P
-
Picked up the max 501st's at Comic-Con, found a Moff J at WM in SD, Jared hooked me up with an opener Moff and JediMac hooked me up with some Gunners.

-
I went searching for Chirpa and 3PO and the new Greatest knockers wave at an out-of-the-way WM. Didn't find them, but I did find a small cache of Utapau Clones of which I bought two.
-

Sorry you didn't find Greatest knockers. :(
-
I found 3 figures from the Endor wave (Chirpa, 3PO, Jerjerrod) at our local WM yesterday afternoon. No sign of the Gunners, so I'm still on the look out for those (and for an extra 3PO). Hopefully these will start showing up more frequently now. I also received my Shadow Stormtrooper via SWShop on Saturday.
-
I saw the Mace JSF and Vader's Tie at Target yestarday. I thought about it but did not pick them up. They had about 3 or 4 cases of Tatooine and I got 2 sandies. No endor figs but I did see a great set of knockers :P
-
Was able to pick up 8 more Gunners this morning.
-
Picked up a Shocktrooper, R2 and Palpatine this morning to polish off my GB collection.
-
Found most of Tatooine wave figures here, in Finland! (Amazing but still true!)
I bought those 2 Sandtroopers. I hope that we'd see the whole Endor wave too! ;)
-
I got quite lucky tonight and came away with 2 DS Gunners, 4 Sandtroopers, 1 Scorch, 1 Blue Guard, and 2 501st Troopers. It was a pretty good haul if I do say so myself. :)
-
BrentS picked me up a Vader Tie Advanced last night at WM. The strange thing is that it rang up for $19.96. I thought that this was in the $29.99 vehicle assortment? If not, then I saved myself $10 + shipping instead of ordering it from EE.
Got 3 Skirmish Battle Packs last week too for $5 each.
-
Both Vader and Mace's fighters are in the 19.99 range.
-
Picked up the Titanum Shocktrooper today. They're out.
-
I picked up Mace's Jedi Starfighter at Target today during lunch. I know they're just repaints, but I'm just a fan of this ship overall, so I decided to pick it up. Nothing else new otherwise, just Obi-Wan fighters, some Tatooine/Heroes and Villains waves. Totally missed the clearance deals at our local Target, they must have went quickly.
-
Picked up the Titanum Shocktrooper today. They're out.
Don't you mean the 501st trooper titanium?
-
Got my Blackhole Stormies from FedEx today.
-
Picked up the Titanum Shocktrooper today. They're out.
Don't you mean the 501st trooper titanium?
Yes. :P Sorry for the confusion.
My Shadow stormtroopers arrived yesterday.
-
Picked up the new C-3po and Jerrod from Walmart and Mace's Starfighter and a $3 clearanced VSTC Greedo at Target this morning.
-
Picked up Moff Jerjerrod, and recieved my shipping confirmation for my Shadow Stormtrooper.
Didn't want to double post, my Shadow Stormtrooper just arrived.
-
I may go to WM soon to see if they still have those Jerjerrods.
-
GB Dooku :)
-
Finally saw Scorch on the pegs. Actually I saw 12 of him at 3 different Targets. Good ol boy is warming now that the squad is coming out.
-
Got x2 endor ATAT at TRU in bakersfield at store opening.
-
Finally saw part of the Endor wave. Picked up DSG, C3PO, Chirpa, Moff Jerjerrod and the Emperor (only because I'm trying to complete this set.
-
I received both the 501st Stormtrooper (from HTS.com) and the mail away George Lucas Stormie in the mail today. The Georgetrooper was smashed up pretty good unfortunately, but it could be worse. 501st was minty mint though.
-
Scored a Chief Chirpa at Wal-Mart.
-
x5 shock troopers,x1 501 trooper
-
I've noticed some kickass army builder repackaging going on in the line lately so I have been picking up, again, Utapau Clones, Firespeeder Pilots, and Sandtroopers out there... Mostly at WM in my area.
Also the Epic Battles figures have some good army builders in there like Wookiee Warriors, blue Senate Guards, etc... Expensive to army build at $7 each so I sort of am being picky but still there's some stuff I just can't pass up.
Tonight I got a Sandie, Utie Clone, and customizing fodder Scorch (this was, seriously, the first Commando Scorch I ever saw at retail... That's how much of a bitch that was to find for me since I'm out there routinely and NEVER saw it till just tonight). I got all 3, left several Utie's and Scorches on the pegs too... Should've bought more Uties but I'll live.
Good army building times if you act on it.
-
I picked up the new Unleashed Boba Fett and a H&V Dooku yesterday evening at Target.
-
Hey guys, in the the time I was away, last week I got my hands on 5 utapau clones and 2 cody's! I used the codys in customs but the troopers look so nice and I am especially happy to have found clones, they are so hard to find up here! Yet there are so many of them its almost disgusting.
-
I picked up a "Greatest Battles" C-3PO at Target over lunch today. I had one from the ROTS line, but always wanted a second, so I decided to pick it up. Dooku is the only other one I saw from this collection though, and some of the figures from the "Heroes and Villains" line.
-
Got the Saga DVD trivial pursuit at TRU for $15.
-
Picked up the Endor wave minus the DSG @ WM and the Tie Interceptor, B-Wing and Executor Titaniums @ Target.
-
Picked up the new Dagobah X-wing from TRU yesterday evening.
-
Received my mail-away GL In Stormie Disguise today.
-
I picked up:
- TSC Sandtrooper w/Stormtrooper holo
- (4) Skirmish in the Senate BPs on clearance at Target
-
VTSC Scout for $4.25
Moff JerJerrod for $3.00
and another set of new Titaniums for the local guys.
-
Picked up the new TSC Emperor and Jerjerrod for $3 each this morning at Walmart.
-
Darth Bonk hooked me up with the At-At and X-Wing yesterday.
-
Picked up two DSGs, Moff Jerjerrod, AT-TE Tank Gunner, VOTC Han Solo, and VOTC Tusken Raider. Got the VOTC figures on clearance for $5 each. Was the only two VOTC figures I saw in the store.
-
Got the VOTC figures on clearance for $5 each. Was the only two VOTC figures I saw in the store.
What store?
-
It was a Super Walmart, they are remodeling and resetting shelves. The new toy layout had no spot for the VOTC figures so I guess they decided to clearance them. They had like 5 DSGs, 4 Jerjerrods, 1 Emperor, and 1 Chirpa from the latest wave. It seemed rather weird to me that the 1 army builder of this wave was the figure they had the most of besides Garindan and of course Major Bren Derlin.
-
I picked up the new Xwing Saturday morn. Presentation looks awesome.....too bad it's soo big a box that I have to open :P
-
I picked up the Dagobah X-Wing at TRU on Friday afternoon. It really does look sweet in the box (and it is a heck of a big box). I open pretty much everything, but I was half tempted to leave this in just due to the overall presentation. I might try to use the cardboard bottom/backdrop included or something, because it does look kind of neat.
-
Stopped at an out of the way K-mart this morning and it paid off. Found a UGH Fett and UGH Snowtrooper just sitting there on the pegs. Must have been old stock that they found as there wasn't much of anything else...
-
Picked up my first Target Exclusive Demise of Grievous figure for the lofty sum of $0.47, which is about all it was worth to me. Now for the surgery to make him 1 1/2" taller like Hasbro should have....
-
Wow, you found him on clearance for that price?
Now I feel pretty stupid for paying full price...
-
Wow, you found him on clearance for that price?

If you had to have it, you did the right thing by buying it when you saw it. No guarantees you'd have found it on clearance.
I, on the other hand perhaps, did not have to have it. I could take it or leave it, whatever. For under a buck though, I'll take it.
I have never, and will never, pay Target $12.99 for a 3 3/4" figure. Just ain't happenin'.
There's principalities up in here.
-
My Target puts nothing on clearance...
-
Well that makes no sense. Clearance is part of Target's strategy. They even put food that does not expire in the near future in clearance. Oh well. ::)
-

Holy crap! And I thought picking a bunch up at $3.24 was a steal. NICE! Maybe i'll cruise the Targets near me on the way home...
-
Picked up another Saga Sandtrooper and Scorch at Target.
-
Hasbro came through and I finally got in my 2 SDCC 501st Stormtroopers. ;D Still no signs of Endor near me...
-
I received my HasbroToyShop.com order today! I got 10 DSG, 1 Emperor, 2 Chirpa and 1 C-3po ;D. Surprisingly enough they were packaged very well too! Each figure was individually bubble wrapped.
-
Wow, Palps! :o
-
Check out TRU which hasn't put out new stock in about 2 months. They had their $5.99 sale going on and actually had filled pegs with the Endor wave. Bought 6 Death Star Gunners.
TRU only stocks their pegs a few times a year, so I had to take advantage.
;)

Dressel you lucky son of blaster. Great score/price.
Went to local Target last night, they ususally have lots of pegs for Star Wars at this Target-'bout 20 or so. And they were full---full of :-X I mean. nothing but bugs 3 deep on each peg, and 2 Padme's. Haven't found anything but GB's really at other locations.
-
Is Walmart clearencing the VTSC yet, mine has a ton of Scouts & I want them for a cheap price! Are Codys starting to warm too? He seems to be shipping in a lot of cases from now on until the end of the year.
-
yeah my locoal wal mart in brick usualy has 5 codys when ever i go! But i dont kow if the VOTC is going on clearence yet i sure do hope so that i can get some scouts for a cheap price as we all would ;)
-
Is Walmart clearencing the VTSC yet
It depends on the Walmart. Most of my local Walmarts have clearanced them out already, but then there are those that aren't so local that still have them at full price. Your best bet is to scan them every once in a while. They should clearance eventually.
I picked up the H&V Greivous variant, Shock Trooper, Green Clone Commander and a Saga2 Sandtrooper this morning at Target.
-
I scored 5 VTSC Scouts at $4 each tonight. That's the first time I've ever had a clearance deal that good. :)
-
Darth_Bonk hooked me up with the TRU Tie fighter yesterday. Apparently there are reports of finding the OTC version pilot, but mine had the POTF2 version. :P
-
Chief Chirpa
Death Star Gunner x2
ROTJ C-3PO
Emperor Palpatine
4th Commander Cody
-
Picked up a Death Star Gunner, 2 GB Shocks and 1 GB Tac Ops thanks to Darth Slothus. ;D
-
I grabbed a GB AT-TE Gunner and Tac Ops Trooper this morning at TRU.
-
Picked up another Derlin on clearance at WM for display, some Gunners from Slouthus and Some more Gunners from WM this morning.
-
Grabbed 2 GB Royal Guards at TRU.
-
I picked up a VTSC Scout Trooper at Wal-Mart yesterday, and got two Utapau Troopers and a Sandtrooper at Target today.
-
FINALLY found a Scorch at Target today. Quite needless to say, I picked it up.
-
4th Commander Cody
4 Codys!? :o
-
grabbed 2 GB AT-TE Tankgunner and 2 GB Tactical op and my toys r us ;D
-
Got all caught up (for now) after finding a couple of Death Star Gunners at Wal-Mart over the lunch hour. I'd still like to get another Endor 3PO, but I'm kind of waiting to see if I can find the painted knee version.
-
I left behind a couple of painted knee 3POs the other day in Fargo. Oops. :-\
Only thing I bought was a removable helmet 501st and as I was removing it the leg popped off >:( I managed to re-attach it, but the quality on that figure purely sucks, his legs are very, very loose.
Question, is the helmet on the re-release shock trooper removable?
-
Question, is the helmet on the re-release shock trooper removable?
Not that I know of, but I personally don't have one I guess. I actually saw a couple (for the first time) today at Target, and wanted to pick one up, but left it behind after finding the DSG earlier, as well as a couple SMC figures at Target. I'm supposed to be tightening up the spending, so I didn't figure the wife would be thrilled with me coming home with a $6.99 figure that I already have four of :). I might pick one up eventually if I get the chance though. Anyways - I haven't heard of the helmet being removable, and I thought it was actually the same as the initial release (#6 sculpt) - but I could be mistaken.
-
The first clone of the year (excluding the SITS clones)! Guess where? Walgreens!
It was a 501st Trooper, there was also another 501st,AT-TE Gunner & Mos Eisley Han.
I'm surprised.

It is the original #6 release. Although the pic on back of the card shows the #41 repaint.
-
That sort of sucky for Hasbro to do that. Maybe they might do what they did with Grievous?
-
Found the Endor Wave on clearance at WM. Had to pick up a Gunner.
-
Found the Endor Wave on clearance at WM. Had to pick up a Gunner.
Wow, already? How much???
I finally got an Endor 3PO. It was the unpainted knees which is fine as I only got it for the chair. I was unhappy to see that the hips were unpainted as well. Looks like crap standing up...
-
$3.50 for basic figures. The GB figs were full price.
-
:O I need to go to Walmart! They have a ton of both basic & vintage!
-
Well the clearance isn't at every Wal*Mart. Anthony is just lucky. :P
-
Yeah,but like I said I have a ton basics just waiting to be plucked off the pegs. :P
-
I picked up a Shock Trooper and a couple of Sandtroopers at WM yesterday. I found a painted-knees C-3PO at Target.

-
I scored and a Naboo soldier.
Lucky!
-
Finally score an Endor 3PO, did not see the officer or the ewok. I did leave behind some gunners (I have not decided whether or not to buy any), the weird gungan senator and the naboo soldier (up close it looks plain weird). ::)
-

Aw, I think the Naboo soldier is pretty cool. His arms are too long, but I think he looks like a escapee from a mental institution that's armed himself with a nifty rifle. I kind of regret not grabbing a 2nd one.
-
I didn't know the white rebel was shipping.
-
Picked up Ewok Throne C-3PO and a 501st Trooper at Target.
-
I didn't know the white rebel was shipping.
In fact, I got 2 of him today and no sign of the black rebel. I also got a Luke Endor who is terrific. The soft goods look great!
-
Got the Endor/Naboo/Tatooine wave (Luke, White ERS, Black ERS, Vader, Been, Holo Maul, Bolt/Guo, Graga, the Psychotic Naboonian) at Wal-Mart this morning. Still on the lookout for the new Titanium figures (IG-88 and 501st Clone).
-
Got partial Naboo wave this morning - Luke, Endor Soldier (AA varient,) Holo Maul, Obi-Wan, Naboo Soldier and the Gungan.
-
I have plans of going soon to get SW Lego II, hopefully I'll find this wave & some troopers! :)
-
Found an At-At driver and two Sandtroopers on clearance. I couldn't resist.

-
On sale like the rest of them or is that just for older waves?
-
I picked up some troop-builders at Target yesterday, but nothing new. A scorch, Cody, Utapua, and sandtrooper. I know the sale isn't that great, but next year I'll be thinking "why didn't I pick up more troops when they were on the pegs?"
-
I just bought two more SWS ShadowStormies (carded) from someone over at Scum for $11.50 each. ???
-
Got 2 Biker Scouts VTSC, DSG & Sandtrooper from Hasbrotoyshop.com - 25% off and free shipping. Not too bad. The code to use is FALL25
-
Picked up all three of the new BP's at TRU today.
-
So is TRU getting these first or have they been seen anywhere else?
-
Received four more Bikerscouts, another Shadowtrooper, an At-At driver and three Sandtroopers in trade in the last few days.
-
White Endor Rebel Trooper, and that's all I've managed to find from the Endor II/Naboo Wave.
-
Picked up Rep Been this morning. Glad he was $3.00 can't really say Id pay the 6.63 for him.
-
Picked up Rep Been this morning. Glad he was $3.00 can't really say Id pay the 6.63 for him.
?? How'd you get him for $3?
-
My local WM clearance a bunch of figures months ago and they never fixed the price so for like 4 months now the figures there have been $3.00
-
Wow. I wish that kind of thing would happen around here.
-
I turned the corner on an empty Star Wars section in Target today to find myself, on October 3rd mind you, smack in the middle of the Christmas Department surrounded by Christmas lights and ornaments.
-
Picked up another Sandtrooper and DS Gunner on clearance.
-
3 Sandtroopers
3 DSGs
-
Not really a purchase, but I got the folling in a trade today :

-Carded Scorch
-Separation of the Twins Obi-Wan
My thanks to Mr. Bosskmr, who helped me out with these and quite a few more figures.

-
Picked up a Rogue Two Snowspeeder this morning before work.
-
Picked up a grievous UGH in a HW treasure hunt one for one trade off with local scalper.
What does a HW treasure hunt look like? I wouldn't mind using this trick on them (the HW guys that is - the ones that beat me to the UGHs 80% of the time.)

They put that **** out on Sep 1st now. I've seen it for the last few years, at least. :-[
-
I'm changing the name in this thread to acquisitions. I feel since myself and many others acquire our new Saga stuff through alternate means (trades, gifts from others ect) as well as purchases that purchases alone was not a good fit here. I was stupid to not realize it sooner ::)
The DS
-
Bought the WM exclusive Unleashed Luke today!
-
A reasonably good score tonight. One each of the following:
Naboo Solider
Rep Been
Dud Bolt & Mars Guo
Gragra

GB Kit Fisto :)

Endor Rebel Trooper (afican american version)
Is there an Africa or America in the SW Universe? :)
I got notice from EE that my Wave 7 case has shipped...the last 3 cases I pre-ordered from them I ended up cancelling becuase I found the figs locally first. I haven't even heard of them hitting locally yet...
-
Thanks to a trade on another board I was able to get:
1 Mars Guo and Dud Bolt
1 Holo Maul
1 White Rebel Trooper
1 Gragra
Now all I need is a few more Troops for customizing, and a Endor Luke and I'll be set on this wave.
-
Picked up a lone At-At driver from Target today. It was the only new item stocked in a week.
-
Using the DCPI trick (thanks for the number JD), I was able to pick up the Rogue 2 Snowspeeder on Sunday. I also picked up the Endor/Naboo wave Darth Vader, and an extra VTSC Greedo and VTSC Tusken Raider on clearance at WM.

Is there an Africa or America in the SW Universe? :)
dunno...why do imperial officers have british accents :D
p.s. anyone willing to fork over any Wave 6's or 7's over for say a FF Captain Piett or a SAGA 03 Rebel Trooper no-beard variant? i'm an obsssessive completist and these figures have been disrupted by all the ****in GB's in my area... ;D please???
-
Received some more 501st Stormies from Hasbro Toyshop from using the 25% off code. Also received some more At-At drivers from a trade.
-
Found that Targets were flodding with Fisto's fighter and the new snowspeeder. Could not resist and got 1 of each.
-
Got my Kir Kanos/Carnor Jax 2-pack in the mail yesterday :D
-
Our local WM finally dropped the prices on the pile of VTSC figures they have to $4 each, so I picked up an extra Han and Tusken Raider. No Scouts or Lukes there, of course, but plenty of the other three.
-
Gragra and the black Rebel Trooper came from kbtoys.com today.
-
Endor Rebel Trooper (afican american version)

If any of you that have this wondrous situation would be willing to pick up some figures for me, I would gladly pay cost+shipping(loose), and I would be greatly appreciative. Just PM me and I'll let you know what figures I would want.
-
Thanks to Master Phruby, I picked up another Moff Jerjerrod of customizing. I'm just going to paint him black.
-
-One Naboo Soldier at Target on Friday, 10/13

-
Picked up a Gargana and Pod Racer 2 pack from a friend who bought them at Target.
-
Amazon has Nabor Wave in and free shipping on orders over $25. If you need help getting to $25, they also have $2.20 VOTC Lando's!
I just ordered 2 rebel troopers, 1 at-at driver & 2 landos (needed the second to get over $25. I had forgotten about a discount amazon had given me for the whole "Hunt For Grievous BP" trainwreck and my total came to $7.32!
-
Endor Rebel Trooper (afican american version)
Is there an Africa or America in the SW Universe? :)
Yes, they are in a Galaxy far far away...
-
Got another Enodr Rebel soldier. One more Gargana and Pod races set and I'm done with this wave.
-
Of course, on the same day I order the figures from Amazon (and too late to cancel), I found the whole Endor/Naboo wave at our local WM while picking up some groceries. It works out fine, since I wanted a couple extras anyways, so I ended up picking up Endor Luke and an Endor Soldier (White). I also picked up an extra VTSC Greedo for $4 and a Greatest Battles Shocktrooper. They seemed to have the whole Endor/Naboo wave there though, aside from the Vader and Obi-Wan I saw a week or so back. They must have just stocked the rest of the case or something.
-
Yesterday I got a Firespeeder Pilot ( ;D Yay!) and a Commander Cody ( :-\ Yawn).
-

I would but with my work schedule now its hard for me to get there at 6am when my WM opens. And theres never any figures left when I go in later in the afternoon.
-
Picked up a Command Gunship Titanium at Walmart tonight.
-
Scored a TSC Chief Chirpa at Target.
-
No clue that Naboo wave was there, besides the revision case w/ Anakin & Grievous. Of course the Naboo figures were gone. ::) VTSC was finally gone, there must of been a clearance & I missed it. :(
I'm going back tommorow to pick some figures up, I didn't have money today so I hid the figures. :P
-
Pod Racers, Luke and black Rebel Trooper came from Amazon today. Already got the black one from KB online, but I took my chances because Amazon pictured the white one on their site. I might pull the neck out and pop the bearded Saga trooper head on it, if I can find out for sure whether it'll fit, first. All I need from the wave is that white guy, now...
-
Tonight I got an Endor AT-AT, a pack of gum, a bag of popcorn, and a 44-oz Diet Coke.
-

Ahh... misplaced comments: the simplest form of humor.
Anyway, last night I picked up:
Titaniums: Command Gunship, B-Wing, and TIE Interceptor
Basic Figures: Death Star Gunner, Sandtrooper, R5-D4, Jerjerrod, and Tatooine Luke for $5 each!
Unleashed: Boba for $13 and change.
A pretty good night in my opinion.

-
Found some Naboo wave at Target and picked up a couple of Naboo Soldiers and a Vader for trade.
-
Picked up a Veers for customizing
-
I received an Endor Luke and Endor Soldier (variant) via Amazon yesterday. Aside from any extras I might pick up, and the OT tins, I think I'm caught up until the "Final 22" start to hit.
-
My KB toys is running a Buy 1 Get 1 1/2 off sale, and they've been stacking cases of an army builder assortment apparently that involves:
AT AT driver
DSG
Utapau clone
Ithorian
Sandtrooper
Scorch
I wasn't aware of this assortment till I came across this stuff at KB and hatched some cases open myself. And the price is right.
Oddly enough, still no sign of Naboo/Endor, and that is highly unusual for me to wait this long as my area is usually top notch. I expect to find them in the next few days.
-
Picked up an At-At driver yesterday. A local new Target seems to be putting out a case of basic figures every day. Also picked up a GB RED clone commander (14 of 14.)
-
I picked up an extra VTSC Tusken Raider on clearance at WM this morning for $4.
-
Picked up a lone Naboo dude today. At least I can now say that I've seen a piece from this wave.
-
Got my Crimson comic 2-pack in the mail and picked up Titanium Lava Vader, Fett and IG-88 for 3.74 each. Not too shabby. ;D
-
still no endooine wave figs on the pegs in my area
-
Picked up another At-At Driver and Sandtrooper from an Endor Revision case.
-
Pretty nice score at KB as I got a hold of an unopened case at KB Toys while the Buy 1 Get 1 1/2 off Sale was still going on. Cracked the case open and bought:
1 x Luke Endor
2 x White Endor Trooper
1 x Gragra
1 x Mars 'n' Dud
1 x Rep Been
------------------------------------------------------
I put the 2 Naboo Soldiers (blech!), Obi Wan, Holo Maul, and Vaders on the pegs. No interest there. Not even at the $5 sale price.
-
White trooper.
-
I caved in and bought a *gulp* Naboo Soldier. He's not so bad, actually. :)
-

When you're on a toy hunt and catch the back end of the case on the pegs, you gotta do what you gotta do.
I won't hold it against you.
-
Finally found,
Gragra
Naboo Soldier
Dud Bolt & Mars Guo
Rep Been
Black Endor Rebel Trooper
Endor Luke Skywalker
-
Lucky you! Naboo is still nowhere in sight.
-
YES!!! found the ugly wave 7 darth vader and moff jerjerod on the pegs at the GOOD target yesterday. bought them. :) ;D
-
I went ahead and picked up Momaw Nadon, Hem Dazon, Garindan, and Bespin Vader at TRU's sale, and I got a White Endor Rebel, Foul Moudama, Sun Fac, Power Droid, Chewie, Lushros and VTSC Greedo in the mail.
-
Picked up an At-At driver yesterday. A local new Target seems to be putting out a case of basic figures every day. Also picked up a GB RED clone commander (14 of 14.)
Hey Mr. Anton. I was wondering, if it's not to much trouble, if you could post a picture of this figure if you haven't opened it yet. Thanks.

Variation hunters with red/green color deficiency are going to have a hell of a time.

Thanks Dressel Rebel! :)

I finally got a Black Rebel trooper via a trade!
-
I just scored the Mace Windu's Attack Battalion battlepack! On a hunch I decided to punch in the dpci no. and to my surprise they were in stock. Cool set.
-
Received 4 VTSC Biker scouts and a Han At-St Drive via trade yesterday, as well as my Crimson Empire two packs.
-
I picked up the Mace Windu's Attack Battalion this morning before work. I had to use the DPCI number to get one as they just came in on the overnight truck.
-
It was a fairly decent army building day. I scored a couple of GB Shocktroopers, a DSG, 2 Endor Rebels and 2 Naboo Soldiers. Add in another Coruscant Obi-Wan (great figure) and it was a good day.
-
Scored Mace Windu's squadron battlepack and 6 more sandtroopers. :)
-
Black Endor Trooper

Scores like that don't happen every day. The last time I made a score like this was Midnight Madness in 2005.
-
Nice score there Nicklab!!
As for me, Walmart exclusive wave. :)
-
Tinally got a Titanium C-3PO today. It was at a comic shop price, but this piece has been so scarce that paying another $7 for it seemed like it was saving me some time and trouble in finding it.
-
Went on a serious toy run this morning and hit up 2 WalMarts and 2 Targets:
Wally: 3 x Kitik Keedkak (gonna need a few Yam'rii to attack the bandana wearing, sniper rifle toting pre-cyborg Grievous when he comes out).
Permanently passed on the 4 other "Walmart 5". Terrible figures the rest of them.
Target: 4 x Elite Corps clone, 2 x Appo, 2 x Combat Engineer, 1 x Felucia Betrayal
Also I noticed that there must be 30 of each anniversary tin at a Walmart, shouldn't be long before they hit clearance now. KB has dropped them to $15.99
-
The end of this week brought the end of the Saga Collection for me. A friend got me the Clone Engineer at a local comic shop, and a Thursday visit to TRU surprisingly turned up my one each of Holo Obi-Wan, the Elite Clone, Vader's Astromech, and Commander Appo. Another friend picked up Mace's Astromech at a Wal-Mart out west, so I'm doing until the 30th Anniversary stuff starts to hit. Always nice to see the end. :)
-
After hitting our Target stores a couple of times over the weekend, and traveling to the Wal-Mart across town, I'm basically caught up again (aside from some extras). I had good luck and picked up the following at Target on Friday:
1x Commander Appo
1x R4-K5
1x Holo Obi-Wan
Then, on Saturday we traveled across town to the "other" Wal-Mart, and I was able to score the exclusive wave there (which shows little signs of showing up at our local store, since we have a metric ton of Enboo figures):
1x R4-M6
1x Kitik Keed'Kak
1x Nabrun Leids and Kabe
1x Labria
Then, on Sunday morning we hit Target again while we were out and about and I picked up:
2x Elite Corps Clonetrooper
I'd like to get a couple more extras of the Elite Corps and Appo, if I can find them, but its nice to at least have one of each. I was kind of surprised, but the only figures I didn't see anywhere this weekend were the Padme and Yareal Poof.
-
Does Vintage still count? I picked up 4 Hans and a Greedo for a buck apiece at Palmdale SWM.
-
A friend of mine sent me Aurra Sing and R4-M6 now if I could find Wave 9.
-
Yesterday I got Appo, Elite Corp, Vader's astromech, Labria, Leids/Kabe and Felucia. Appo has a paint error, though, so I still need to find another. Only other TSC I want is Poof.

No, it's the little stripes that go on either side of every trooper's helmet.

On the lower part there [Tac Ops pic for reference], that's sort of tubular. They're completely missing on the helmet's right side. EDIT: Apparently those are vents, not "stripes".
-
Save it Ook, people will pay for that varient. Too bad I'm dead serious. :P
-
Picked up another 442 Clone and 5th Fleet Trooper today at Target.
-
Save it Ook, people will pay for that varient. Too bad I'm dead serious. :P

Picked up two more Combat Engineers this morning. Funny that someone left them but took the other clones. :-\
-
Had a decent score at WM and picked up some more Engineers and Scouts. All the Appo's had been picked.
I can check the Engineers off my needs list.
-
I picked up a Holo Commander Cody at Target this weekend. I saw that wave at a couple of different stores, but I haven't seen Wave 9 again since the one and only time a couple weeks ago. I wouldn't mind picking up another Appo and/or some more BARC Troopers if I would happen upon them.
-
I picked up an R5-J2 and the mini-Unleashed Jedi Masters set at TRU with the bogo deal.
-
I picked up a Holo Cody and 442nd Trooper at TRU with the BOGO offer. Would have passed on both otherwise, but for seven bucks... I kind of like the green trooper anyway. I decided to make him one of Plo Koon's clones. He's got to have some somewhere. :)
-
I picked up another Appo plus one Clone Engineer, and an Elite Clone Trooper today at Target.
-
Found remnats of the appo wave at Target. Picked up another Vader droid to use a Generic Imperial fodder and an Engineer for my neigbor.
-
Got the last Elite Corps trooper from BBTS. I tried to buy two, but it would only let me get one. After I went through the checkout, the figure was listed as sold out on the site. Got damn lucky there.
And, as I was going through and cataloging what I have for carded figures from this past year, I discovered I had two Utapau Clones. So now I have another one of those to open. ;D
-
Walked into a Target this morning that hasn't had a new figure on the pegs since October to find 6 cases of Appo wave on the pegs. Went ape**** and spent $114.87.
Now if you'll excuse me I have a guilt trip to go tend to.
-
Found and picked up a randon Elite Clone at a Target I don't normally go to yesterday.
-
I got one step closer to completing my Kubrick collection today thanks to a fellow JD collector. Thanks for the Royal Guard Jay! ;)

Elite Clones are so damn elusive !!

Elite Clones are so damn elusive !!

Nice. I'm debating over whether or not to buy the TAC Basic figure wave from EE. It seems a bit pricey, but you do get two Galactic Maroons.
-
I picked up another Elite Corps Clonetrooper (BARC) at TRU this weekend. They had one hanging on the pegs, with a few of the other Final 22 figures. Also picked up a couple of Galactic Heroes 2 packs.

Was able to pick up a couple of Elite Corps Clones this morning at TRU. Took me awhile but I was able to finally find some on my own.

Picked up another Appo today and what I think is the dark visor Elite Trooper. Hard to say for sure...
-
I found an Appo today... First One I have seen on my own. ;D
-
Picked up another Appo and Elite Clone Trooper at K-Mart last night/this morning.
-
A friend hooked me up with 4 Elites and an Appo today.
-
I'm thinking I should try fleshing out my other Clone groups... I wanted 10 or 12 of the 5th Fleet, 10 or 12 of the Engineers, 10 or 12 of the Siege Batallion... I'm nowhere near that on any of those groups though.
Appo's are like gold out here, and disappear fast.
41st's are a little easier to come by, but I have a whopping 6, which I would've liked to have come to 10 or 12 of those and BS'd them as an OT spec. forces unit. Seems unlikely though with TAC stuff surfacing now unless WM still has a lot in the pipeline.
-
Don't forget Jesse that saga will be shipping through May, so we still have two months to find more.
Incidentally, I'm doing the same thing with my Elites.
-
Picked up my fourth Commander Appo today, as well as a Titanium Bossk for $2.
-
Picked up two each of the Elite Corps and 442nd Clones. Still haven't seen an Appo. I must have found one of those weird case assortments, since two of the Elite Corps Troops were there and no Appo in sight.
-
My wife found a lone Elite Trooper at target for me today. :)
-
friend found a ds gunner for me :P
-
Picked up one more Appo and three more Elite Clone Troopers today at Walmart.
-
Picked up one more Appo and Elite Clone Trooper today at Target. I think that brings me to nine Appo figures and about 12 or 13 Elite Clone Troopers.
-
Nine Appo ?
You doing customs ?
-
I've found only 3 Appo's so far but 2 were last night, and picked up 4 more 41st Elite Troopers too. My nearby WM put out a TON of figures including all of the final 22, some in bulk, so I stocked up on what I could. Got an Appo for the boy and another for me. Someone had seemingly gotten to all the Appo's already though for the most part.
I have a feeling I'll see Appo's in a couple weeks at the Pittsburgh toy Show. ;D
-
Nine Appo ?
You doing customs ?
Not yet. For the moment, I just remove the paldron and use the figure as a SA 501st Trooper. It's not perfect as is but it will do till Hasbro brings out a real SA 501st Trooper. ;)

-
Picked up 5 more Elites and an Appo at Target today. All done with the Elites, now I just need 6 more Appos to wrap up Saga.
-
WOW ! THat does look hot !
I wish I could do that with Elites :P
-
you said you have 9 appos but i can only count 5 :-\
-
My local toys had the exclusive At At today. Walked in around 2 30 and they had ten sitting on the self. I picked up two.
-
At Target:
442nd Seige Clone Trooper
Clone Trooper Sergeant
Came in looking fo TAc, they ahd them!.....
In the backroom & not until 3/25. ::)
-
At Target, I snatched the last camoflauge SBD.
A couple hours later, I acquired an Elite Corps Clone Trooper from a trade.
They look quite nice displayed next to eachother.

I was pretty happy with that Super Battle Droid sculpt when it was first introduced in the Yoda/SBD 2 pack. But as you can see courtesy of this pic from Rebelscum.com, the SBD you speak of needs to have it's mold melted down and tossed away for good:

Picked up a varient BD 2-pack just because there were lots to choose from at Target.

Well thanks for that, you make me feel so good about spending that $7.50+ on it... :P
I'm not opening it, duh, I wouldn't after TAC Wave 1 being out with that SA one. Im keeping it in the package, it was hard to find!
-
Scored 3 SA VTSC rodians at Wally for a buck each. The bargains don't get any better than this folks. Life is grand.
(http://www.jedidefender.com/gallery/files/gallery/Collectibles/Modern/The_Saga_Collection/Vintage_Saga_Collection/Greedo/vtsc_gree_ac2.jpg)
-
TRU up here still has him for "sale" at $9.99. ::) Sweet find.
-
The Appo/Elite Corps clone wave is really starting to hit here, both Target and Walmart. I'm to the point now where I have 20 of each and am starting to pass on both. I never thought these would hit in the quantity where I'd start leaving them on the pegs, but that officially ends the theory that nobody will be able to find these because 30 AC is coming.
-
I picked up the "ROTJ" Tin on clearance at Target for $12.98.
-
Picked up another Appo today. 4 down, 5 to go. One's at least pending.
-
I went out looking for TAC figures this weekend (no luck), but I did pick up a couple more TSC clones. I saw the Elite Corps troops a few times, and picked up another - and then on early Sunday I happened to see an Appo on the pegs (2nd one I've seen so far) and grabbed that one as well. I was hoping to get another extra of each of these, but decided I would only if I saw it at retail and wasn't picking anything else up. Now I am officially, officially done with TSC :), bring on TAC.
-
Got another Appo today via trade.
-
Picked up another Appo and 3 Elites last night.
-
Picked up another Appo and Elite Clone Trooper at Walmart.
-
I'm done with Saga! Last night I bought two more Appo's and I have one more on the way from a trade with Jackofaltrades.
Now I'll probably see Appo everywhere. :P
-
Got Yarael Poof a couple days ago.
That was gonna be it for TSC, but now I think I might get Fisto....
Yeah, scratch that. I'm not buying a figure with no elbow joints. :P
-
Well, he's no different from the Clone Wars Kit, so if you have that one you don't need another. Personally, I think that's the best Kit Fisto fig to date.
-
I got the Order 66 A New Empire unleashed BP today at Target. I like the Anakin in his light saber light pose. I able to save a buck because it was on sale...
-
I was given 3 Clones as an early "Easter" gift tonight. :) Gotta love mom and the random gifts.
I got a 41st, an E2 Sergeant, and a Combat Engineer. I must say, I know some guys didn't dig the eu repaints but that Combat Engineer is a pretty neat figure when you look at it... SA, removable helmet, plus he's got the pouches on his bicep like he's got extra gear for demolitions and stuff. I love that figure. I gave some of mine some "gear" I have around and they look cool running alongside other Clones to do some damage to obstacles or whatnot.
I'm sorta surprised at how slow the Sergeant sold by the way... I can't speak for everyone of course but my area I've seen him rather frequently, and given he's an SA E2 Clone in a color that wasn't terribly common... I figured he'd have sold well. Great figure to have a lot of too since Sergeants of course would, theoretically, be common sights.

Me too, considering the green striped seargent heads up squads of 9 clones, 8 white grunts and 1 green seargent to every squad. The blue lieutenant I would expect to sit a little more, being that he's only 1:36 with the other clone, 1 to a platoon (4 squads).

What an excellent gift. I can't wait to find me a couple Combat engineers, they look great! 8)
As for the E2 Clone, I thought he'd be far more rare but I've seen him ten times and counting. I even saw him at Walgreen's! But, good for me, he's a great fig for my upcoming photonovel, especially because he is the main component of one of the main characters. ;D
Maybe its the incorrect helmet coupled with the incorrect base?... ???
-
Picked up a couple of $5 Felucia BP's at Target today.... Not such a bad deal.
-
Picked up a couple of $5 Felucia BP's at Target today.... Not such a bad deal.
Scored a couple of these as well. If we have full price ones, can we still return those and then re-purchase them at clearance? Anyone had any luck getting the Target folks to just credit you the difference and let you keep it?
-
The Target around here stick to the 14 day price adjustment rule, so we're out of luck. Might work in more rural area's though.
I know I said I'm done with Saga, but did some inventory/custom experiments and discovered I can use more Jerjerrods and Veers' to make non-rank insignia officers and various ranked officers. So I picked up three more Jererrods and two more Veers yesterday. Will need to pick up a bunch more.
-
Here's the work around. You can buy whatever they have on the pegs on sale at $6, then take the bag straight to the service desk and return them using your old receipts. I found a receipt for 16 Saga figs in late Feb, so I bought 16 today at $5.96 and immediately returned them for $6.64 each. Not a huge money saver, but I got about $12 back after taxes.
Used my $12 for two "Free" Death Star Gunners...not a bad deal.
-
Picked up two elites and an Appo for trade fodder.
-
1x Camoflauge Super Battle Droid
1x Camoflauge Battle Droids 2-Pack
from Target. Couldnt resist opening them. And I dont regret it either! ;D
I am gonna return #35 Cantina Han and Titanium Dewback tommorrow or maybe Friday to get a Mace Windu/Galactic Marine 2-Pack, because Target didnt have them today, despite it being the shelf date (thats what I went for today!)
Target sucks. :)
-
Another big thanks to Bikerscout for the tip on another group of Jerjerrods. Picked up 5 more yesterday. 3 more to go with one on the way and the other two pending.
-
Once again, I proclaim my doneness with Saga. Traded for the last two Jerjerrods I needed. Hopefull I'm "done" done this time. ;)
-
Last night I purchased four loose Elite Clone Troopers and a sealed Mace Windu's Attack Battallion Battle Pack from one of the nice ladies I met over on another board and the cool thing is she only charged me Twenty Dollars for the lot. :)
-
5th Fleet Security trooper
-
got the Ep 2 clone
egineer clone.
both from a comic shop. small selection but surprisingly a lot of clones. to bad they were $12 a piece CDN
-
I finally found the WalMart wave at the Livermore WalMart yesterday, or at least the remnants of it. I picked the Kabe/Nabrun 2-pack and, of course, Kitik, in memory of my late pet mantis. There was a nice selection of good Final 22 stuff, and lots of army builders of previous waves there. Anyone in the area may want to check it out. 8)
-
Picked up a Scorch and Clone Trooper Sgt. tonight at Target.
-
I decided this weekend that I'd do my part to help clean out the last of the Saga figures by buying any AT-AT drivers, Death Star Gunners, Clone Techs, or EII Greenies that I run into.
Which means I bought a Tech, and two Gunners this weekend.
-
I'm gonna wind up probably putting stuff like that on a wants list at some point. $$$'s too tight for me to go nuts with Saga extras right now but man I'd love more of it. Just way too many good army builders to deal with at retail right now! :o Between Saga and 30AC, it's overload.
-
5th security clone.
-
Wound up picking up and extra Appo, just because.
-

Wow, I haven't seen an Appo on the shelf in ages! Nice find. I have a lot of extra Saga figs that I'm going to have to return before Target gets wise and clearances them.
-
went to a toy show and picked up a clone trooper evo set, and a white clone trooper.
-

Check Target this week - I saw him in 4 different stores this weekend.

UGH - I hope Target is not still getting cases of Saga after all this time... ::)
-
Target had all the Saga2 army builders and droids I couldve ever wanted today. Pegs were full. Unfortunately, I have very little money right now so I could only get Appo and Vaders droid. I wouldve bought more if I had the money.
-
i got a tusken figure for $5. clearance has finally met these little guys..again :P
even at $5 the Greedos wont sell. kinda sad, it was a good figure too.
-
got another DSG
-
Bought a Titanium Clone Trooper w/vintage finish at a local comic shop today. It'll probably go up for trade soon, but I got a very good deal.
-
Not exactly a recent "purchase", but I received a Gragra for Christmas.
-
I've put the word out recently for some more order 66 troops and just picked up a Kashyyyk trooper, At-Rt Driver, Airborne trooper and Marine inexpensively.
-
Got even more Order 66 troopers, polished off my Kashyyyk trooper and At-Rt driver squads.
-
Finally picked up a Death Star Briefing 7-pack last week at the FAO in Las Vegas. :)
-
Scored the Lucas Collector's Set from SWS.com this week. Four figures I didn't have for $16 shipped was an OK deal to me.
-
yesterday I bought the vtsc Han Solo in Trench coat (rotj) original release. I always try to buy the first version of a figure and avoid repacks, cause they omit some paint applications frequently on the reissue.
5 years after the launch of this figure, seems to be a durable interpretation of the character.
-
Steel City Con... Picked up two more Death Star Gunners. :) This guy's gone up in value it seems, so getting two for less than $5 each was a deal IMO.
Also got 3 loose Mace Windu Legion Troopers... Part of a much cooler deal, and appreciated in their own right since he's not the most common trooper army builder, and Mace looks badass with a squad behind him.
-
The DS gunner in the TSC line was one of my favs in both presentation and design. Throwing it, or the Imperial Engineer (http://www.yakfaceforums.com/TGuide2004/ActionFigures/TLC/BD22/lf16.html) from the Legacy line, on a Vintage card would have been the cat's ass.

The Death Star Gunner, to this day, marks my "minimum" level of quality to make a truly nice figure.
He has:
-Lots of gear... basically two or three ways to display him, which is great.
-A great working holster... Maybe the best Imperial holster ever done on a soldier of the Empire. It holds the E11 blaster perfectly, and hides it. Why can't Sandtroopers and the like have these?
-The minimum articulation count and sculpt/pose.... He's a model for future figures, and a model that Super Articulation isn't necessary to make a pretty darn poseable figure.
He has the minimum points... He has elbow joints that allow him a neutral pose, but also allow him to look natrual with a blaster in two hands, or like he's working on something like a computer screen or other gadget. He has ball jointed knees for sitting. He has ball jointed neck and a regular waist joint. He has wrist joints.
What's really key is he has no ankle joints, but his feet are sculpted nice, flat, and neutral. He's able to be posed walking or "lunging", or moving while crouching. He doesn't need the ankles for any of it.
Some will cry foul on the elbow joints being angle-cuts, but angle-cuts work... They really do. Not always though. It depends on how sharp they are or not. If they're done like the Death Star Gunner though, they're perfect IMO.
Ball joints are better, but if the line saw a price drop by a couple bucks, I'd be ok seeing some second or third tier guys cut down to this level of articulation. Cantina aliens? I'd be happy to see them like this.
That new Snaggletooth is great, but did he really NEED all that articulation? If that set was $20 I would've done happily with angle-cut elbow joints and no ankles on the new Snaggletooth.
-
picked up today the saga 037 Sandtrooper in john chipana shop. 8)
-
Picked up Yarell Poof and Hammerhead for $3 each at a garage sale...MOC. (And R1-G4 from 2002?)
They had Han with carbonite, too...maybe someone else...Poggle! Why didn't I buy them? Foolish...also, going too long without eating affects my judgement.
I went back the next day got Poggle, Han was gone, baby, gone.
Also got Mas Amedda (POTJ), K-3PO (POTJ) and Pit Droids (30th annivesary/legends) that Celebration Amidala (OTC/post transitional whatever)
