Classic toy karma, one post about not finding new 6" was all it took. A late night series of surgical Target strikes netted me a brand new TIE Pilot and Yoda.  ;D

Oddly, I found just those 2 figures and then at the next closest Target I found Obi-Wan and the Clone Sergeant. Weird coincedence, or maybe they are breaking up cases like with the 3&3/4" stuff?

By the time I got home I was literally too tired to open either one, but I can already tell I am going to need multiple TIE Pilots...that dude is bad-ass!

Managed to find both Yoda and the TIE pilot at a TRU two days ago. The store got in several cases. Someone nabbed all but one TIE pilots and left the rest. (And no, it wasn't me.  :P)

That's awesome, we haven't gotten a whiff of those here yet. I keep hoping Amazon will get them back in stock for a reasonable price but that doesn't seem likely.

I did receive a bunch of Clone Troopers in the mail this week I ordered off HTS and Amazon when they were running those cheap deals recently. That's another wave that never saw the light of day here.

The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Star Wars: The Force Awakens (SPOILERS)

Very cool way to reveal the character names.  I certainly appreciated it!  The article stated that the card numbering is actually done in a very deliberate way.

Personally, I'm thinking that Kylo Ren may be Adam Driver's character.

I agree...Kylo "The Graverobber" Ren.

Max von Sydow as Lobot?! That's crazy.

"Finn Calrissian" has a nice ring to it though!

TV-9D9 / Re: Star Wars Rebels - Season One (Spoilers)

Considering the overall tenor of the show and the audience they seem to be aiming at, I tend to think they will just go with the obvious...Fulcrum = Bail. It's not exactly a burning question IMO though, I'd be more interested to get the backstory on the Inquisitor or Ezra's parents.

Well, seeing as how they only killed one of the 5 people I wanted to see get snuffed (Whitehall/Ward/Skye'sDad/Raina/Agent 33) I was a little bummed, but I get that they want to keep stringing those characters out for whatever reason.

Surprised Mac survived and Tripp did not. Killed off the wrong guy, IMHO, he will be missed.

Also curious what happened to Raina at the end there.

Finally found a Long Coat Governor at the 5th Walgreens on my list today. Also found they had all WD figures for $10 on sale this week - nice!

For anyone else that might care, the EE exclusive clear Invisible Man Universal Monsters ReAction figure is now in stock. I actually bought one off eBay cheaper than it would have been from EE, which was odd, but I'm not complaining. I just recently picked up the Glow in the Dark Creature from the Black Lagoon too so it will be nice to have a complete collection.

Have heard we may be getting Gremlins figures from these guys next year. Bring on Phoebe Cates!!

TRU abruptly canceled my pre-orders for Tacit Ronin and the 18" Cherno Alpha.  >:(


When I went back to their site to replace the pre-order, Tacit Ronin was no longer even listed. Even though I know for a fact he has shown up in stores already.  ???

Even weirder, 18" Cherno Alpha was listed as In Stock even though he has had 12/17 as the street date for awhile now. Anyway, I went ahead and ordered him and he is on his way. I am anticipating this will easily be one of my favorite toys of the year...cannot wait!

For anyone else who's been holding out (like me) the Prison Gate and Tower set is on sale for 30% off at TRU this week, along with the other 2 building sets as well. I made sure to let everyone know who might be inclined to give me a gift this year.  ;)


I also heard the MIA McFarlane Long Coat Governor figure is starting to show up at Walgreen's already. The hunt begins tomorrow...

The Black Series 3.75" / Re: Sales/Discounts thread

BOGOHO SW figures @ TRU today. I literally could not find two things there worth buying though. (In-store only)

Hasbro has a 25% off + Free Shipping deal too, HOLIDAYFF14 is the promo code. I got sucked into buying some more 6" Clone Troopers since that wave was so scarce. All their Rebels stuff is sold out though. :(

Received the new Clone Sergeant I ordered off Amazon on Cyber Monday. Also an extra Jabba I can actually open and display. Still no sign of any new 6" in stores here yet though...

Hey, if it prevents him from being in any of the new SW movies, I'm all for it.

The second wave of Avengers figures from the animated series have turned up at 5 Below.  That wave includes Thor, Nick Fury, Hawkeye and The Leader.

I saw those weeks ago and wondered what the heck they were...thanks!

Got the 2nd wave of Alien figs in the mail today...they all look really nice. Nice to have them on minty unpunched cards too, although I wish they could have gone with a limited run in the blue cardbacks ala the first wave.

I bought the 6" Jabba on Amazon today too, since I could never figure out a way to extricate my SDCC version. Threw in the Clone Sergeant as well since he was the same price and it hooked me up either free shipping.  :)
