30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Recent 30AC Purchases
« on: March 25, 2007, 07:34 PM »
hey in what states and or city's are you guys finding stuff I'm (dreadfully) in Texas and all I'm finding is the ever peg warming repack collection(saga).

i continually read about ppl's finds and must ask myself how corrupt is this place? are they really just selling this stuff out the back door? or em i just in the wrong place?
Im from So cal. East of LA.  Today was the "official" street day for the TAC ( at Target atleast) U might want to keeping checking Hasbro.com/shop they have the figures on there, but are sold out right now. Put in "Exclusive collectors coins" in the search field. You also might want to check out Starwarsshop.com.  But trust me, let me say it comes down to hand to hand combat in my area with the scalper/ebayer scum.

I just cannot bring myself to purchase yet another SBD. I have not had good experience with these and in the end super glue the ones my son doesn't play with to a stand so they stay up. I saw one yesterday and I passed on it.

The Marine is an ok figure, but one that is easy to pass on in my opinion. The fact that it is a clone from a scene will drive it. I do llike the Airborne Clone overall.  Mace is okay, but not a huge change from the past. Obi Wan is a pilot body with a hole in the mouth.  The McQuire is nice, I took one and left 2 others. Darth Vader was a pass as I will not be keeping or collecting the coins. I don't need another Vader unless they improve on the VTSC or the Evolutions Vader. I did like the Mustfar Miner as he is something different. Artoo is a pass, because I have enough Artoo.  So like most waves this year, I bought piecemeal. I'll probably pass on wave 2 and just pick up 1 or 2 from each wave from here on out. I have to say that I am rather disappointed overall in this year's selection. There are some interesting ones, but also some that I just don't need. Then again, what is different than any other non-movie year.
Bingo! This is a good series if you have never collected StarWars figures, but if you have its like..been there, dont that with some of the figures. Mace,Vader Obi..I just do not need more! I did break down and buy R2 only because he goes with the SBD..if he did nt I would have passed.  This seems to be the weakest wave they have announced, the rest seem be average or above average.  But my god how many Obi have had over the last two years! TO MANY..time to put him to bed for a while.

I picked up Mace/Palpatie/Vader ..the Anakin one was "ok"  the other two...well they are going to  be self warmers I think.  I was really happy with the Mace/Galactic Marine..

Whoa Walmart is really starting to unload the 30 AC onto the pegs.  Wave 1 is not going to be tough to find, especially since it's mostly repacked into the next 2-3 assortments.

I've already picked up between 15-20 of each of the Super Battle Droid, Galactic Marine, and Airborne Trooper and I'm gonna stop the hunt for a month and just pick up maybe 1 or 2 figures when I'm out food shopping or whatever.

The SBD, Marine and Parjai are really top notch 1st rate VOTC/VTSC quality figures.  What a wave.
How many of concept stromtroopers are u finding?

Picked up my Order 66, ran into a "tough" stock manager but once she realized that we were honest people she was relaly cool. She started to describe a really bad scalper (one that I have had many runins with) and I said, ya dont worry we dont like him either and after that..she was really cool..Its a new store so its best to keep good realtions with the natives.

picked up Order 66 at Target today. Looks like Target is NOT sticking to their street date.  Had to ask the Stock Manager to bring some out..WOWO she was actually nice about it..and she hates the scalpers type people. So we made sure she understood that we are not part of the that group..just collectors trying to collect not much more.

Its just horrible here in So Cal. Even with 7 Targets, 2 Wal Marts, Two ToysRus, two Kaybe, One Sears Grand, 3 Krmarts in a 15 sqaure mile radius its just impossiable to find anything with my work schedule.  Forget the weekends the scalpers are in full force. I dont mind people getting their fair share, but when you know people have X's of certain figures and have had them for weeks and you see them just inhaling these things it makes you ask is it worth all the crap? I have already given up trying to find the 30th Boba from wave 2 and just ordered the 1st two waves minus two figures from StarWarsShop.com came to a little over 100 for 12 figures. By time I pay for the gas and add up the time its well worth the waite. I had to order the WalMart 5 from Ebay, I knew I didnt have a shot in hell of every finding those on the pegs.  I walked into a Kmart today and found wave 9, of course after going through hell to find them over the previous month..there they were..but of course they had the dam price tags on the cards ( why does Kmart do that)  :-X

I have ran across Mace,Obi,R2 from TAC, the R2 is "tempting" but not on my list of "must haves"  forgett Obi and Mace same reapcked figures from TSC and ROTS. There are to many "new" things coming out this year to waste my money on re paints and re packs. I bought ever single figure from the last two lines not this year.

Get this we get a new Target and the price on the basic figure is $7.64! I want to tell the mamager but im nervous he is going to call the other store managers in the area and they will raise their prices.
