Title: Wal-Mart Value Two Packs @ $9.98
Post by: ruiner on January 15, 2007, 04:43 PM
So according to this site (http://www.deathstarplans2.com/Forums2/index.php?topic=1019.0), some lucky collectors are finding new value packs for $10.  Has anyone else found any sets other than Luke Endor/3PO or the AT-AT Driver/Sandtrooper?

I never saw any two-packs at Wal-Mart of any kind recently.  :(

As I posted in the TSC Discounts/Price Hikes thread, this is a fantastic deal considering that ONE figure is $7. I hope I'm able to find some of these, and it looks like they've made some good choices for figures unlike those TRU 2-Packs from 2005.

Dammit, I bought an AT-AT Driver and Sandtrooper last week at WM for full price too.  >:(

That's pretty interesting. I wonder if it's an overstock thing like usual, or a special arrangement.

How crazy is it that we're excited about $5 figures?  Remember when Hasbro did the Clone Wars two packs for $4.96?

 ;D Found these this morning.  There are some weird combo's but more over there are better ones then the ROTS TRU ones i'd seen.  I'd say the funniest was the Rep Been and DSG.  But they had Emporer & Endor Luke/Sora Bulq & Sandie/the Comm Cody & Sandie was cool.  The 2 I got was a Sandie & AT-AT Driver along with an AT-AT Driver & DSG.  So look all over the 2 I found were on the top shelf and the Cody/Sandie was hiding over in the discount toy isle.

It's going to be weird for me to see the Armybuilder packs and pass them up (since I'm at my max for the Saga2 armybuilders.)

Today, I saw yet another version of these at one of our 4 WM's. There was 6 cases of 'Enboo' wave two-packs. Each match was figures paired from that wave only. I half expected some of these to have UGH figures in some pairings ::).

Thanks for the note on that too Jon, I'm curious about these.  I've seen no value packs out here yet...  And I'm a little disappointed and hoping they just need to make their way over here yet.  I really am looking forward to finally some "cheap" (and boy do I use that term loosely) army building this year.  It's really been pathetic in '06 for what you have to pay per figure.

Though I've seen/bought these, are they shipping to Wal-mart like this or is Wal-mart simply recieving the plastic packaging and somebody in the back throwing the figs in the plastic and then putting them out on the shelf.

Post by: Brian on January 18, 2007, 12:17 PM
I stopped by our local WM yesterday just to check if they had these, but there was no sign of them.  They had however re-stocked with all sorts of Naboo wave - which was already sitting there :).  Hopefully these will sell through or something, so we can see some of the newer stuff once it is released more fully.

Have yet to see these here in Iowa.  I would like to get that Sora Bulq / Sandie combo if nothing else, since I don't have either of those.
Title: Re: Wal-Mart Value Two Packs @ $9.98
Post by: Nirvana on January 18, 2007, 10:24 PM
It would be nice if my local WalMart got these, especially the Sandie/ATAT pack.

Unfortuneately, I'm almost positive I'll never see these.

I saw an Utapau Trooper/Death Star Gunner 2-pack, but I passed.  I guess the price just isn't enough of a draw to get me to buy some of these figures again.
Title: Re: Wal-Mart Value Two Packs @ $9.98
Post by: Dressel Rebel on January 20, 2007, 06:30 PM
Found an endcap of these today at Wally.  The Utapau clone/DSG and Sandie/AT AT 2 packs are decent army builder buys for the $10, but as for all the rest of the combinations, they're just the leftover crap.  But it's a little better than it was when it was full priced crap.  Because now it's slightly cheaper crap. 

Thus, I am dubbing this the "Walmart Please Clear Our Crap For 25% Off So That Maybe Some Small Percentage Of Our Stores May Actually Bring You Wave 9 And 30 AC In A Timely Fashion Sale."

It's actually written on the UPC's on the endcap if you look closely.

Hit 4 Wal-Marts this morning (which are all across the street from a Target mind you) and found nada the two packs.  Same story with the Clone Wars stuff from a few years back.  Not too suprising though.

I like it.  Has a certain ring to it.  And it's totally true.  ;)

Found 3 Value packs with a Scorch inside. One was a Scorch with an Utapau Clone, but I passed and got the Scorch with Gargar instead I needed another of her ;D. The third had Leia as Boushh.
Title: Re: Wal-Mart Value Two Packs @ $9.98
Post by: Jesse James on January 22, 2007, 07:47 PM
I saw some last night...  Nothing great like you guys found though I did get a Sandie with AT-AT Driver and AT-AT Driver w/Jerjerrod (custom fodder)...  That was it though, and every other figure was paired with like Gragra, Jerjerrod, 3PO Endor (which I may buy one of), Leia Boussh...  There was a Veers I wanted but I passed because of his pairing too.

No Utie Clones, no Scorch, not many army builder only 2-packs...  I'm disappointed.

It was a couple days ago but I saw some mixed wave versions of this at another WM. 6 of the 8 2 packs was Cody with someone else-- usually Endor Luke, 3Po or Vader(lighning). It looked like waves 4-6 mixed up.

Saw some today on an endcap. The only interesting set was the Utapau Clone/Death Star Gunner. I saw a few sets with both variations of the Endor Rebel but they were either packed with Palpatine or any of the various Vaders.

scorch with gragra?! sweet! i have to track that down.
Title: Re: Wal-Mart Value Two Packs @ $9.98
Post by: Jesse James on February 1, 2007, 03:56 AM
Found a handful of these the other night at a local WM that were decent...  Couple army builder packs, mostly DSG's mixed with others, not many Sandtroopers, but at this point I'd like more AT-AT Drivers and DSG's than Sandtroopers and Utapau Clones... 

I think I got one with a 3PO too for the extra 3PO to hang in my rebel set-up.

Most of these around me though were a regular schmuck with an army builder...  It seemed a conscious decision by whoever packed them not to make too many desireable sets.  NO Scorch sets to be found either which sucsk because I'd have bought some to customize I think.

I can't gripe though, I wound up with a $5 Jerjerrod and 3PO, and I nabbed some army builders...  I gotta be happy with what's provided I guess.

I have snagged 2 so far Endor Luke with Naboo Soldier (ugh) and today, Endor Luke with Endor Trooper (a great 2 pack)....

I am holding out hope for DS Gunner and AT AT Driver or Sand Trooper or Endor Luke (I am collecting Camo smocks)

At one Wal Mart EVERY 2 pack had Naboo Dude in every pack.

Post by: Jesse James on February 1, 2007, 08:20 PM
I saw the first of the Naboo dude tonight in these 2-packs...  One was him and an Endor Rebel but I passed on that...  I wanted it but it was a tough $10 to part with so I just skipped it.
Title: Wal*Mart Great Value Basic Figure 2 Packs
Post by: Famine on February 7, 2007, 12:18 PM
Has anyone else come across these Clamshell packages containing 2 basic figures? The 2 packs I saw on the shelf beneath the pegs had either an Obi-Wan and Naboo Yellow Jumpsuit Guy, or the Two Pod Racer Pilots and Obi-Wan.

So, anyone else seen these?

 It's "holier than thou".

Sorry for correcting you, but that's like the 5th time I've seen that misspelled recently and I couldn't restrain myself any longer.

I'm a little surprised at what hasn't sold.  Maple Grove has had the Endor Soldier/Naboo Soldier 2-pack for weeks.  $5 each for these guys is a pretty good deal.

That's pretty good we don't any neat packs like that left. In fact I never even saw that combo. The only ones around here contain R5,DS Gunner, Tat. Luke, and some others that were normally peg warmers when they were singles.

I remeber Scum saying that there's over 300 combos on these packs.  Someone's got a real OCD problem if they're going to that extent!  I picked out the coolest set I could find - U Trooper & DSG pack and I'm quite satisfied with that.  I never could find the CW WM packs back in the day.
