I did pretty well a a couple months ago on the first 2003 wave (Obi, Dooku, Tusken, Padme) and the POTJ rehashes (RFT, IO, Teebo, Eeth). Then a couple months of virtually nothing. Then finally my big Collection 2 score last week. Still haven't seen Coll. 1 wave 2 in stores (Boba, R2, etc.).
Every new figure I've found this year was at one of two Target stores. Not a single new figure at any other store chains (TRU, WM, KB, K-Mart, etc.) And that's saying a lot considering I hit a good 10-20 stores on my runs. I know a few other local collecting brethren have had a little more success than I though, so the new stuff is apparently hitting, if but barely.
One good sign that I've noticed over the past week though, is that it appears that the pegs have been widely cleared out. Lotsa empty space, and most of the crappy old pegwarmers seem to have disappeared, so hopefully Hasbro's reps have been stopping by and pulling the garbage out to make room for some new stuff. Hopefully all the new stuff that must be sitting in the back stockrooms is put out soon...
