Next time I hit my storage locker I will. Everything is packed up and everything I buy I drop off. If I was not in the process of moving I would post it already.

I was able to snag more figs wityh the TRU sale:
x10 BD's
x2 Naboo RG

Up to x20 BD's and will stop around 30-40. Not sure how many Naboo guards but 8 seems right. I wish TRU would have more sales like this it makes army building much easier.

The Trade Tank is a worthy upgrade with the new cockpit and accurate paint scheme but the tool is starting to show its age. It's not that it's outdated looking, its the noticeable weak assembly of the toy now. It's been consistent in the line for a long time, this is it's 5th release! The small antenna on the top is losing detail with plastic flash and looking rough and the turret falls off fairly easily. Plus the large cannon does not stay on that great either.

I picked up two of these and will pick up x2 Naboo Fighters and x2 of the new WM Vulture Droid. Unless there is more new stuff shown at TF that's all I plan on buying. I passed on the redecos and re-release stuff. (On a Mid-Size vehicle side note I have never seen the Mandalorian gunship and guess I won't to even consider buying it.)

Agreed.  This battle droid has 2 or 3 significant issues, but the sturdiness of the legs does not seem to be one of them this time around.  It feels pretty solid.

The only issue I have with this BD is the main back pack does not stay on too tight. I only opened one of my 10 as my collection is packed up right now. I hope its a specific issue with the one I opened. I really love this figure otherwise and it very screen accurate. when you compare him to the Target Arena Mold it looks like you are comparing a Quick Draw Clone to a VC45 Clone. It's a night and day difference. (The old BD blaster looks like POTF2 gun size proportions too. Never noticed how over sized it was until this one.)

I compared to the older ones I have, the Teemo deco is really tight in this new pack compared to the older one, he is the stand out "upgrade". All of the others have a slightly darker deco than the old ones. Plus it includes new flags.....(This is how I justified getting this set....)

TRU came through today with the sale price to boot:
x3 TPM Vintage Battle Droids (Up to x10 now)
x1 TPM Vintage Dofine (up to x3, great figure to make other "cool" Senators with)
x1 Sidious
x1 Black Rebel Commando (Not much left, he was the best choice.)

I got rid of him eons ago, I honestly forgot. I can say all of the decos are superior to the older ones in the Mos Espa set. I compared them all last night sans Anakin  ;) . The deco on him looks good enough to be the standard Anakin until MH W2, the new rubbery pod helmet fits really nice. Sebulba has better paint ops , really noticable when you remove the helmet, naked 3-P0 also sports a more accurate paint job. The Pit Droids are bonus fodder and who can forget the friggin flags. I was happy enough with both sets as I ditched most of my EP1 crap a long, long time ago. When you see them in person it might be enough to sway you.

Got my Walmart Battle packs today.

\Me too, both are really nice. The Mos Espa Arena is actually pretty nice upgrades with deco. they even retooled Anakins hands to have turning wrists. Plus you complete the flag "official" collection....

Does this one have that potential?  Because on my shelves, the only thing that CONSTANTLY falls over, are the battle droids.  I hate them.

I believe this one does have the potential, it uses a sturdier ABS plastic.

This line is clogging up the pegs at 3 Wal-Marts I went to yesterday.  So, frustrating.

This line is clogging the pegs at every store I go to (x4 WM's, x2 TRUs, x4 Targets and a K-Mart). The Battle Droid is mind boggling. They are already shipping Obi and qui on both cards why not the new BD sculpt? I know everyone this it's ovepriced but at least it would have been a step more tolerable instead of the ancient one. I would have bought alot of them if it was the new sculpt as I am upgrading my army.

They really should have had Wave 2 start this line, once I know the case breakdown I will probally order one as I want every one from Wave 2. I have no EP1 JJ's or the Palace Amidala in my collection.

Here is my haul for the week...

1x 2012 VC77 Ratts Tyerell & Pit Droid
7x 2012 VC78 Battle Droid
1x 2012 VC79 Darth Sidious
2x 2012 VC80 Anakin Skywalker (Jedi Padawan)
1x 2012 VC81 Ben Quadrinaros & Pit Droid
2x 2012 VC82 Daultay Dofine
2x 2012 VC83 Naboo Royal Guard
1x 2012 VC84 Queen Amidala
1x 2012 VC85 Quinlan Vos
1x 2012 VC86 Darth Maul
1x TRU Pod Racer Pack
1x WM Mos Espa Arena BP
1x WM royal Starship Droids
2x Trade Fed Tank

I was able to get some TRU sale deals so that makes army building easier. I love the new BD it smokes the olders ones and is way more accurate. This figure reminds me of the VC45 Clone, some collectors don't want to let go of the older ones because they are used to them and invested heavily. Its very screen accurate. Also the WM BP's are pretty nice.

I ordered two cases of the deleted scene figures and I love the case pack, it has all of the extra of the TPM wave I want. Now I just have to continue to hit WM for the Vulture Droid and the exclsuive wave and I am done with store hunts for a very long time....

I am digging these but that card art is weak. They did not have much to work with so I cannot fault them there. What I can fault them for is Luke's reversed part and as Jayson pointed out Luke should have a cloak not a Jedi Robe. I am hoping the Endor Capture Head fits this buck for an easy fix. They at least loaded them with accessories and despite all of Luke's flaws they retolled his saber finally.

I like the wave overall especially Lando. Are these due in Febuary or March?
