I really think the only way any of us are going to "win" in this mess is to have each of us decide want we want, want we don't and how much is something worth to us. Or perhaps I should say, how much are we willing to spend on something. Hasbro will never make all of us happy and they have no desire to try. Who can blame them. Heck, even if they made everything I want from Star Wars or GI Joe for that matter, I don't have enough money to buy it all. I find SA Clone Troopers all the time any more and I wouldn't mind having another 20 or more of them but I can't afford it. I need whatever "fun money" I have for some of the final 12 figures, that new TIE Fighter, and a couple of those 5 figures sets.

This doesn't excuse them from doing some of the things they do but they are a business and all they really care about is the bottom line. They don't care about us. They never have and they never will but they do want our money. That they care very much about so perhaps the time has come for all of us to think a bit more about who we give are money to and why we want to give it to them. I know this really doesn't solve much nor does it take away the sting it seems that all of us are feeling but really, I don't know what else we can do. At least we aren't in this all by ourselves.

Has anyone actually found these sitting on the shelf yet? 

I'm may have read somewhere that someone has but I'm not sure. Most people that I know who have one had to ask an employee and give them the DPCI #.

Any ideals on when the hunt should start for these?

I really like the Target "Clone" pack. Not sure that I am going to like the price or how hard it is to find.

Lots of people from my Garrison are going.

I still kind of like this new figure but I am starting to talk myself out of buying one.

Now that's something you don't see every day, an Easter Egg Clone Trooper.

At $5.88 I would buy quite a few but at $14.00, I'll be lucky to get one.
