I'm hoping we'll begin to see more of these show up as well, or even, any of these ;).  We had the Anakin set hit Target and Wal-Mart in the same weekend about 3-4 weeks ago, and those have since totally sold out in town.  No sign of the Clone or Sith packs yet, but hopefully these won't be too "limited" and they'll hit in decent quantities throughout the rest of this year and through the holiday season.

I'm highly concerned about the distribution of the Evolution sets, it's been almost a month now since I got the Anakin set and that has been the only time when I saw any Evo set. All the Targets in my area continuously have the item not in stock and haven't really gotten much new in stock in a few weeks. Wal-Mart is stocking some stuff, but now with the exception of the two "Jedi vs" Battle Packs, they haven't stocked anything in the 3.75" scale in 2 weeks. TRU doesn't even have a space for Evo sets, but has over 2 dozen of the Hoth battle packs. Normally, when something hits my area I start seeing evidence of it all over within a week or two, whether or not I find what I'm looking for. Around me the 500th Vader, Battle Packs, and Target TIES are relatively easy to find, but not hide nor hair of any of the Evo sets. It's becoming a bit worrisome since this is the only thing I really want for the remainder of the year.

The distribution does seem a bit odd. I would have expected the Anakin set to be clogging the selves before we saw the Clone set, let alone the Sith set. But, all of my stores have been getting these in one case at a time and they have been seeling almost instantaniously.

I still have yet to see the sith set.

I have only seen the clones once.  I got both packs and got screwed on the 2 lefties AOTC clones.  I was hoping to return them for good sets but have been carrying them in my trunk for over a week now.
You are never alone when there's a clone.

I've been finding these things just about everywhere I go. I found 10 of them today, 2 of them last weekend, 4 the weekend before that. I've given some away, am trading 2, returned one, opened 6.

This is in addition to the ones I already had - so, they're starting to pile up.

I found all 10 of these this evening at Walmarts - they were putting them out at each of the three stores I went to.

So, you guys might want to hit up Walmart in the morning.

My Wlamart's open 24 hours and gets raped by the scalpers that work at the postal distribution center next door. I rarely find anything there. I'm finally getting the clones in trade, thankfully.

And Pittsburgh is still 100% dry on Evolutions.  They were sporatically spotted, you hear a report about one or two cases showing up at most, but never any big payday on these and they sell immediately it seems.

I'm SOL on finding them at retail but SithLordChaos helped me get a set.  Now I'm just onto getting doubles and any additional extras I want.  I'm not very hopeful on these for some reason, but keep hoping they show up like VOTC some day and just pile up on us.

I've bought 6 different sets of Clones and I haven't had that problem with a snigle set yet, your's must be an error. You could try writing Hasbro and see if they will replace it for you.

I'm sharing the news today to take whatever lumps people want to give me over my alleged hoarding... I've got that many open ones - I've also shared 4 with other people and left a small number behind...
