Yeah, just cut a notch in the back and it comes right off.

-DD

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE, Thanks!
Did anybody see that custom on FWOOSH.net or whatever that site is?  the guy cut the lower abdomen off of the #41 SA Clone Trooper and replaced it with the lower abdomen/legs of the AT-TE Gunner...I might have to try this.  (I hope I don't mess up, that'd be a waste of 2 good figures)

Thanks Jesse James!
I'm working on a Shocktrooper (I'm probably the last guy to tackle this one) and a V-Wing Pilot right now, hope you guys like when I finish them up 

Does anybody know how to separate the belt from the #41 SA Clone Trooper?  Can I just cut a notch in it and pull it off?

-The Kay Bee Clone would be the Target Clone with a big KB sticker over the Target logo on his chest.

Nice 

I think that DoctorPadawan's point in his initial post (and if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me) was that he was frustrated that after 2 major movie launches as well as 10 years of selling Star Wars figures, Hasbro would have worked out some better case assortments. 
Based on 10 years of sales records and marketing research, I'm sure that that a better balance of mass-market items and "collectible" items could be achieved in their case assortments. 
I think that with the combined resources of the various retail stores and hasbro, people shouldn't have such a hard time picking up the popular figures. 

You also have a couple of artificial factor that's being applied on stock levels at stores.  Those are the speculators/scalpers and the army builders.  Add in fairly zealous collectors who are at the store every morning and you've got a tougher environment for collecting.  Give it time.

Absolutely true.  The hype is certainly something to factor in for an issue like this.  With good and saturated marketing comes increased sales. 
I don't think that people's patience is a problem with these posts.  Personally, I have found all of the figures that I am looking for and have been able to buy multiples of the ones of which I want multiples.  The figures have only been out for 6 weeks, but the fact that several TRU's are still putting out old stock from the April 2nd release date should say something about poor planning. 
I think that topics like these need to be brought up, because it is frustrating to not be able to pick up the good figures that you want and then to see them on eBay for crazy prices, etc etc.  It is a bit early to go into full-on panic mode, obviously, but not everybody can check their local stores during their lunches (like I am able to do) or go to Targets when they open and get first "dibs" on figures.  There are many things that must be factored in, but I think DoctorPadawan brought up a good point with the case assortments.

As for the upcoming clone sets, hopefully they will be put out in abundance, but I'm not going to hold my breath for them...

It's not as bad as it sounds 
the TRU had some Omega Knight Stikfas on sale for $3.97 ( !!!) but they went fairly quickly. 
I have a few extra stikfas sets if you want one.  They come with lots of extra upper arms and thighs so you can build a Stikfas and use his extra parts for customs.  Send me a PM if you want one.
I also have tons of extra stikfas parts that I would be willing to send to you for free, let me know.

doooo itttt! 

Is it just my computer or are there no pictures?
Man, I was going to start up on your photonovels tonight!

Haha, DoctorPadawan and I are "wordy"
