K-Mart is the perfect example of what is wrong with corporate America. It's a company in trouble because they can't compete, so in stead of competing and taking a little bit of a proffit loss to rebuild, they basically try to put perfume on a pig and hope to get people into the store. Sadly, they're between a rock an hard place because money talks. People won't go into the store because they charge too much money, and if the charge people less money, investors on Wall Street won't invest in them because they're not maximizing proffit.

the time).

I give Target a month at $6.99 (max), then I foresee a price drop in January.   ;)

I hope so. I can hit two Targets easily on the way home from dropping my daughter off at school. It takes up almost no time and no extra gas. If I want to hit WM, it takes a little effort.

I'm glad to see the OTC paint improvements continuing,  The Gam Guard, Tusken, Bespin Luke and Jawa are great improvements over the POTF2 versions.  If they are going to pull crap like this, at least its a step in the right direction


Funny, I totally agree, and I bought each of those figures, but I still haven't opened them, which is why I didn't pick up Barada.

I picked up a set of Jedi Starfighters yesterday. One of my Targets got in a bunch of 'em.

This is a figure I'd buy, but I'd hate myself for it.

Overall, upon opening, I have to say that this is a nicely sculpted wave and the figures are great improvements. However, and I hate to say it because I hate articulation complaints, but I think Han and Bib could have been much improved with some better articulation. Maybe we'll get VOTC versions down the line.

I still haven't opened my Chewie or Boba. For those who have all the previous versions, is the any reason? If not I'll just return them.

Nice review Hunter. I thnk my only gripe is articulation, which is annoying because I hate it when people complain about articulation. :P Given the figure and it's outfit, I realy should complain. He still looks nice and a thousand time better than his previous vesion, but all he can do is just stand there. Maybe we'll get a soft good VOTC version down the line. ;)

Going out the day after christmas, most of my Targets were devoid of any 3 3/4" SW product. I did pick up a Plo Koon fighter on clearance, but it was the last one. WM was pretty barron as well.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: "Evolutions" assortment...

Really sorry to hear that. I hate to see anyone needlessly over pay.


To sum up the evolutions, I can't believe how well these have sold, at least around here. When I picked my gray ones up (when they were released,) I saw them for about a week afterwords, and there were pleanty. But, they sold quick and I virtualy never saw them again.

or at least we can hope...  Keep in mind the Tact. Ops debacle.

Always, but I tend to give Hasbro the benifit of the doubt that that was just a one time error. Then again, we were shown a different carded Sandtrooper sample. :-\

I finally picked this up today. I'm making my wife sit down and watch the entire series before I let her see it though. She's going cry when Book and Wash get it. :D
