I am almost positive that it will be a promo item tied into April 2nd to get you to go to Target instead of TRU/Wal-Mart.  It should end up being just like the TRU Silver Figures were where you buy $x.xx amount of product and you get one for free.

You've got to admit, that's a pretty smart move on Target's part.  Who wouldn't want something for free when they're going to be spending their money anyway? 

But if they want to really compete, they'd better get their prices closer to Wal-Mart's, because one free figure won't make up the $$ difference if you're buying, say, 20 figures.  (not that it'll be a factor for me, seeing as how we're not blessed with Targets in Canada - when I visited Arizona, I was really impressed buy how much more organized it was compared to most Wal-Marts I've been in.  Granted, that was only one Target, but it sure created a good first impression for me.)

Old Japanese saying: fix the problem, not the blame. 

Too true.  I'm so much happier to have someone simply admit to me that they screwed up, rather than fling BS in my direction.  You can always smell it.

The stuff I have carded but not in cases is orange cards.  They're nostalgic for me but not really worth protecting.  I do plan on opening them for their own little He-Man, Masters of Star Wars display but haven't done so yet. 

Exactly!  I just finished a deal with i4imperial to get a bunch of those orange carded figures (already loose) so that I can display them.  I just get such a kick out of those steroid-freaked-out figures!

My old link to the display no longer works, pulls up a frickin' Ewok   How's that for irony

Ha!  I did get a kick out of that.

This is a good spot to post my pic of the 10 basic figures:



This little info sheet was included by the seller I purchased the set from on eBay (it's 3" by 4 1/4"):





Dale has also posted some great links in my collection thread.

Oh ****.  I cracked open the vodka again tonite.  Damn that goes down nice.  But I only had a couple, cuz I don't need to make an ass of myself again.  Right?  I still gotta try that Red Bull and Vodka combo Dave, maybe tomorrow?  My wife is working, she'll never even know.  Tee hee.

After getting a few bust-ups, I'm really enjoying them and glad I ordered the Stormtrooper 3-packs from SWS.com.  I ordered three of them, and managed to create a pretty cool army:



I've been waiting for a good deal on these incredibly cute Kinder Surprise Hippos based on Star Wars characters.  I finally broke down and won an auction on eBay from Germany:



They are named as follows:
Leia - Prinzessin Hippeia
Luke - Luke Eiwalker
Chewie - Aubacca
Han - Happy Han
Jango -  Jango Jet  (I'm not sure why they chose Jango over Boba, he's the only non-OT figure)
C-3PO - H-IPO
Vader - Dark Laser
Obi-Wan - Obi-Wan Hippobi
R2-D2 - Erzwo Hippo
Yoda - Hippoda

I also managed to pick up the ROTS sneak preview figures, POTC (all , and the last 2 waves of Galactic Heroes 2-packs.  More pics to come as I rearrange my display wall of carded figures...

Glad to hear that the figure appears to be genuine.  I guess these guys have to make a couple of legit sales in order to build up their feedback, luckily enough you were one of those guys.  Good luck with the weapon.

I was thinking of not going to C3, but after reading that my bags are packed and ready to go!!! 

Yes, I said grinding.  What, a guy can't share a special moment with the corner pocket in order to distract his female opponent?!  ****.   

I better shut up now.

   Are you kidding me?  Now I'm scared to even consider going.  The last thing I need is to see a guy's package sitting in the corner pocket...  Thanx Matt, my mind is burned with that image, I'm not going to sleep for a week.  

(actually, I often wind up dancing/grinding on pool tables, and not regular ones)

Alright, now you're talking!  I've been known to bust a move on a few tables, but I actually prefer speakers.  My sense of balance when I'm drunk is uncanny.
