Have the WalMart exclusive packs been found yet?

You have to learn how to let go Pete.  I started passing on a lot of repackaged stuff last year and I'm not turning back.  Was hard at first, but it gets easier.   

I know, I know. I really should let it go - I am finding it harder and harder to keep going with this. I already decided that starting with the Red/White stuff, I would no longer be buying repackaged $20 vehicles and any battlepacks that are re-released in Red/White packaging will also be a pass.

I'm having a hard time trying to decide what to do with the carded figures and the comic packs.

I've already picked up a complete set of the Saga Legends. If they weren't numbered, I think the only two I would have bought were Mynock Hunt Han and Chewie - technically that is the first time figures from that scene have been individually carded. The rest of the figures were all in the Blue/White legacy collection or released on a card previously. But the damn numbering is what got me.

I've also picked up all of the Clone Wars figures sequentially up to the Spacesuit Ashoka (I think she's CW#23). That's seven more figures I didn't need. And now the Legacy Collection figures are starting to hit and in the first wave alone there are six more figures I don't really need mixed in the first twelve.

And don't even get me started on the Comic 2-packs! I mean really, come on Hasbro, did you really need to make the first wave contain EIGHT sets but only have THREE of them be new?!?!

Pete I can respect the package thing but man the money spent and room need to support that just seems too big big of a hassle. You are indeed one of the last of the Jedi in regards to that type of collector. Hasbro should send you some thank you swag.

I was just reading this week's Q&A from Adam - in one of his answers he writes:

...3. Many collectors are sticking with the line almost out of spite, to see it out to the end no matter what...

And that describes me to a tee. It seems I keep up solely because after 14 years, I can count the number of items I have to still go back and try to acquire on one hand: Dash Rendar's Outrider (got crushed in a move), Millenium Falcon Carrying Case w/Wedge, Millenium Falcon Carrying Case w/Imperial Scanning Tech, POTF2 Han w/TaunTaun and Cruisemissile Trooper.

In my head, it seems silly to stop now, I can't explain why, it just does....

 

Well for me, I'm in for all of these except for the Galactic Heroes exclusives

So here's what I have so far:

K-Mart

• Legacy Collection "Clone Trooper Squad" Box Set (1x)

Target

• Wedge Antilles' X-Wing Starfighter (2x)

WalMart

• Legacy Collection Droid Factory 2-Packs (2x of each 2-pack)
• CW "Screen Scenes" 2-Packs (2x of both sets)
• CW "Under the Helmet" 2-Packs (2x of both sets)
• CW Octuptarra Droid (2x)
• Legacy Evolutions 3-Packs (2x Rebel Pilots, 3x Commandos, 3x Imperial Pilots)

TRU

• CW Commander Ponds (2x)
• CW Commemorative Tin 4-Pack (1x)
• Imperial V-Wing (2x)

---

And here's what I've still yet to get since most of them aren't out yet...

Target

• Ambush at Abregado Battlepack (2x)
• Assault on Ryloth Battlepack (2x)
• Star Wars Geonosis Arena 2-Packs (2x of each 2-pack)
• SotE (White/Red) TIE Fighter (2x)

Wal-Mart

• Walmart Comic Packs Wave 4 (2x of each pack)
• AT-ST w/Driver (2x)
• Dewback w/Sandtrooper (2x, maybe 3x)

TRU

• TIE Interceptor (2x)
• CW "Crumb Bomber" Gunship (2x)

All this stuff with the Evolutions Sets is just driving the point home why everytime Hasbro is giving a presentation, those in attendance should audibly GROAN each time a WalMart exclusive is announced.

Picked up the following this morning:

3x WM Evolutions Imperial Pilots Series II
2x WM Evolutions Rebel Pilots Series III
2x WM Evolutions Clone Commandos

Unfortunately when I got there, it was an incomplete case of them, otherwise, I would have picked up a third Clone Commandos set.

Picked up the WM exclusive Rugosa 2-packs (Thire & Rys and Yoda & Jek) this morning.

Picked up my two this morning.

Nice set.

I think Darth Phobos and Darth Desolous are both going to show up in these.

I think the Sith Stalker Apprentice w/o a Helmet on also has a good chance of being made since it's just a new head on the Evolutions body.

I agree with Nick - I think Kento Marek and Kazdan Paratus is a no-brainers for inclusion as well.

I do find it odd that they are planning on still putting out the Shaak Ti figure as an individually carded figure in the EU wave.
