Well they have that Nomadian from wave 3 of saga, but hey have put out waves 1,2,3 of TACYa you know something is "wrong" when Khols is getting stuff before Target. The main Target in my area (Rancho Target) has never put out Saga Legends.
Could it be because they have too much '06 Saga on the pegs?
Holy ****.Where are u from Dressler? they have had that stuff in socal for the past month. Guess we were lucky! only figure I need now is McSnowie!
Wave 3 was about the only thing out for a few months, then this morning I went to Walmart and BAM, 2 endcaps full of Saga Legends, Waves 4,5,6 Somehow, I left with only 16 figures. But I made sure to get the McQuarries and all of the figures that are tougher to find. Once I hit $100 I started feeling real guilty and stopped putting **** in my cart.
Hermi Odle, McSnowie, Yoda with the buck, PreCyborg Grievous, and Roron Corrob are my favs.
That is the kind of find where it would be impossible to buy that stuff with your wife or girlfriend in tow.
Check your Walmarts for those endcaps.
At least your Target stores have army builders... Here, Target is a sea of Obi-Wan, R2, and Mace Windu from Wave 1... Oh and the usual Legends pegwarmers too, but the army builders are long gone.Ya you know something is "wrong" when Khols is getting stuff before Target. The main Target in my area (Rancho Target) has never put out Saga Legends.
Couple of the locals have even backed off going to Target routinely because of their nosedive in distribution in the second half of '07. I still stop because they're so out of the way for me that if I'm going to TRU I may as well stop at Target too, but I've really become more hopeful at any other stop I make.
Hopefully it'll change soon though.
I saw wave 5 at Kohls last night, and for the heck of it went by Target. All they had was a buildup of Galactic Marines, Vaders and some of the Wave 3 pegwarmers. I really haven't been hitting Targets for the last month but from what I hear from local STL collectors, they are skipping Target now too due to the lack of new figures. Hopefully we'll be in for a pleasant surprise before too long though.Yes, I hit Khols and picked up Darth Raven,Precyborg GG, and Dark Trooper. they were on *sale*for 7.50 yes, I said *sale* They also had Darth Malik, but I bought him from Wal-Fart earlier along with a pair of StarKillers. ANd Yes, I went next door to Target, what a sad mess SL W1 and some TAC from W1,2,3
I was at one of the local Targets last night and there was still nothing new out. It's been that way for about a month or more. I did a DCPI search for 30AC figures and they showed stock in the back room. I got someone to do a location check and they came up with 'several locations', but the person asked the stockroom guy to bring a case out, he said that they couldn't do that... That's the first time I've ever had that happen. Anyway, they told me that they are going to be doing a re-set of the action figure aisle in the next week or two, so I should come back periodically because everything in the stockroom will be put out after the re-set.Ya, most likey W4 and they will become peg wrmers. I mean when there are reports Khols is getting w5 figures, something is really wrong with Target.
I personally think people are reading too much into this. In the next week or two, Target is going to catch up.I wish I had as much faith as you do, maybe your Targets are not full of Starwars hateing Nazi toy/stock room managers. They just hate us, you can see it on their faces, they regard us as freaks. I guess a couple years back, their was an incident with some HotWheels People and the manager, they didnt stock a single hotwheels car for 6 months. With that said I do agree with Mac, I hate HATE going to Walmarts. When ever I walk out of the store I feel like I need to take a shower.
