Went out to Walmart to see if this story about them clearancing SL already is true....only one store around here even carried them to begin with. I did indeed see the $3 clearance tag, but they still rang up at $5.88. So I just got them to price adjust at the register by showing them the tag and walked out with a $3 Shock Trooper.

Wish they would get that Wave 2 in at those prices...

I got 4" Azog, Radagast, and Invisible Bilbo in the mail from the UK last week. Azog is a great looking figure, and it's a real shame it didn't get released with the white Warg as originally shown at Toy Fair last year.

Oh man, I just got my 4" Azog from the UK today, and I couldn't agree more! He is superb!

I'm still holding out hope that at least the rest of the dwarves get produced one day, even if only overseas. Beorn, the Bard, and Smaug would be icing on the cake, but highly unlikely it would seem.

Good points by all, thanks...and wasn't she carried forward in Wave 3 as well?

I don't think any of the BS figures have been very easy to find at retail after Wave 1, so I guess I figured there would be more "heat" for that stuff in general.

It seems weird to me that Mara Jade has almost no secondary market value whatsoever compared to other female EU figures. It can't just be the hair...Bastila Shan had an ugly 'do too. Do people just not gravitate to the character?

Saga Legends / Re: Saga Legends "Mission Series" Figure 2-Packs

Agreed there has been a noticeable shift the past couple of years. I recall getting the Clone Wars Republic Assault Sub deluxe set and being stunned how poorly that scuba trooper was painted. I think they must have shifted a lot of their production to inferior factories.

I feel lucky to have gotten a couple of good Maul/Obi-Wan 2-packs, but I had to do a careful comparison among the multiple sets to find any that were passable.

The Legacy Collection / Re: Clegg Holdfast still on the pegs

LOL, I just spied a Rieekan on the pegs at Rite Aid last weekend. Right next to a SOTDS TCW El-Les. (which I would have bought if it weren't $14, WTF?)

Ah yes, thanks, that sounds right.

They're missing at least one 6" figure, since those are coming in groups of three.

Agreed it's too many Lukes...

I thought from here on out, the new waves would consist of 3 new figures and 1 carry forward from a previous wave.

That's 100% correct, they only had eight 6" figures listed, so they were missing one somewhere. (3+3+3=9)

I can't remember who it is supposed to be, but I'm pretty sure it has been floated out there somewhere.

LOL, the door is shutting on the Tom Bradys and Peyton Mannings of the world. It's a new day.

I for one enjoyed the hell out of that game, because those are the kind of Super Bowls I grew up with mostly, good old fashioned woodshed jobs.

Yeah, I was sorry to see Richard Sherman get a ring, but at least Champ got denied. Super happy for Russel Wilson and Michael Robinson. The 'Hawks absolutely deserved it.

Denver was very obviously not prepared to play, and I think a lot of that blame lies on the coach. BTW, WORST DECISION EVER not going for that easy FG at the end of the first half. That will get glossed over because of the final score but holy crap, that was idiotic.

I don't think I ever even heard of the guy that won MVP. I would have given it to Harvin or Chancellor.

Oh man, Dr Reinhardt has gone to that big Black Hole in the sky...

RIP, Maximilian Schell.

Picked up the TRU exclusive Trilobite/Battle-Damaged Engineer Prometheus set with the extra 30% clearance price for like $14 I believe. Looking forward to opening this one up tonight!

Walgreens near me restocked with three more Glenns. Obnoxious.

Yeah, I saw SIX at one near me yesterday. Great figure, but sheesh!

Where are the rest?!?!

Pete, thanks a lot, very helpful info. I am headed down there again in a few weeks and Hollywood Studios is finally on our To-Do list. I have been looking forward to some BAD fun. Good to know Downtown Disney is a better bet than inside the park.

Were the boxed Star Tours sets marked down? I think I heard that somewhere...

Have started seeing Lego Princesses sets showing up on the shelves now post X-mas. I got my first set for my daughters today, the one with Merida and the 3 bears. They loved it, guessing we will be getting a bunch more of these.

It action figure isn't in the video. It's in the photo slideshow (4th photo)

D'oh!  :-[

Thanks, that actually looks really cool. At least with astromechs reduced articulation isn't an issue.
