First, let me say I LOVE the Targets that have the new type of scanners lol
I scored the Figure w/Cup wave 1 Obi-Wan and Maul at the Stillwater / Oak Park Target here in MN today. There were none on the shelves, but a quick check of the DPCI # 087-06-0937 on the handy new scanners and I saw they were in stock in the backroom!
I found a helpful shelf-stocker gal and she had a case pulled from the back for me. The case pack was 2x Obi-Wan and 2x Darth Maul (4 total per case).
Some thoughts:
- $10 is a little steep for what you get, but I love the packaging and the concept. I love the look of the glasses, the little bio of the characters on them. Once I saw them in person, I decided I had to have them.
- Obi-Wan has the PotJ Obi-Wan with an Ep1 Obi Saber. Still has the little hole in his belt, but nothing to stick in it.
- Maul = pretty much the same figure as the Episode 1 version. Slight coloration change on the face tatoo, but that may just be my sample.
- The back of the packaging still shows the "removable helmet" Hoth Pilot Luke figure. I guess this is one time where the "Product and Colors may vary" disclaimer actually applies
-Overall:
A- for the cups. Woulda been an A if they were glass, not plastic.
C+ for the figures. While re-hashes, at least they are good versions of the characters. PotF2 Obi-Wan woulda sucked (like Luke probably will).
