Saw most of Wave 5 at Target this afternoon on the way home from work. Poor Sergeant Doallyn's bubble was all smashed to bits but I decided to give him a good home anyway since he is an opener for me anyways.

Yes, they are all the same and the packaging doesn't mention Obi-Wan by name.

The back of the box flat-out says in the fine print "Includes: Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger, & Obi-Wan Kenobi Secret Exclusive Figure."

Just FYI, from Adam Pawlus this morning...I guess these are hitting stores now.

Thanks to the report over at JTA, was able to double down on some Clone Wars SOTDS goodness @ Ollie's tonight:

Xanadu Blood/Vulture Droid
AT-AP/Swamp Speeder

$10 apiece for these vehicles is freaking awesome!

Will definitely be going back this week to pick up a Jedi Turbo Speeder and Mandalorian shuttle. 

Opened this bad boy up last night and found myself liking it more than I expected. Something about the all-white motif just brings out the sublime brilliance of the sculptural details.

I saw the "new" Bastila Shan today and was not impressed. The first iteration seemed a lot crisper as far as paint apps. The brown parts were pretty washed out on the newer one.

And the Redskins just need an offensive line that can block worth a crap.

I picked up the black pauldron Sandtrooper last night at Walgreen's. He and Vader and Luke were actually sitting on top of another shelf away from the toy aisle with the rest of their overstock. Nice figure, definitely will be adding another one of these guys at some point. I need a break from Walgreens for awhile though.

I had a fun experience at 3 different Walmarts today trying to track down a Proto Boba and Sandtrooper:

Store #1: Paydirt! They had both figures plus a Chewie. While waiting in line to check out, I notice the Sandtrooper's right arm is completely broken off inside the package. Sheared off right below the shoulder. Unbelievable. A closer inspection of Proto Boba reveals an unsightly silver blob on his visor. Since I have a friend supposedly holding on to an extra Boba for me, I reluctantly leave him and the broken Sandy behind. (I did point out the broken piece to the clerk but fully expect this will show up again)

Store #2: Refuse to send anyone into the back room to even check for me, despite them having two employees just sitting there. Said their Fall reset is a jumble of boxes and they can't be bothered to go digging around for SW toys. Astounding customer service. Didn't even bother to press the issue, although I did note that none of the other stores I had visited had had a problem checking on this for me.

Store #3: Found someone willing to help, they came out with a fresh case - 2 Vaders and a Jedi Luke. Doh. So close!

I'm starting to wonder if Boba will actually be harder to find than I thought. A lot of stores aren't even getting one in their initial allotment of 3 figures. I could see each store getting their 3 and never restocking again after that. (Though that would be crazy the way these things are selling for them)
