Hasbro Mighty Muggs

[Keonobi]

Anyone see the Clone Wars wave yet?  I've been seeing lots of the first couple waves, but nothing new here in NY.  And I'm kicking myself on that because I bought Maul and Chewie off ebay, when I could've waited and gotten them at WM.  Darn.

I saw the CW wave in NJ at a few different TRU

i've been looking for the clonewars wave all around, but haven't found it yet. I did find a thing marvel mugg on clearance at a walmart for $5 though

Still no sign of Wave 5 in my area.

I'm really bored and I was just looking at my Mighty Muggs, thinking about what other characters I'd like to see made. Here's my 'dream year' for 2009. I'm listing seven waves of four like we had this year.

Wave 1:
Vader's Secret Apprentice
Juno Eclipse
Han Solo (Bespin)
Zuckuss

Wave 2:
Lando Calrissian in Skiff Guard Disguise
Zam Wessell
Walrusman
Saesee Tiin

Wave 3:
Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight)
Padme Amidala (Ilum)
Dengar
Emperor's Royal Guard

Wave 4:
Luke Skywalker (X-Wing Pilot)
Princess Leia in Boushh Disguise
Ahsoka Tano
Clone Trooper (Attack of the Clones)

Wave 5:
Anakin Skywalker (The Phantom Menace)
Princess Leia in Slave Outfit
Nute Gunray (The Phantom Menace)
Lobot

Wave 6:
Obi-Wan Kenobi (A New Hope)
Aayla Secura
2-1B
Wuher

Wave 7:
Qui-Gon Jinn

I've got way too much time on my hands.

I finally found my first Clone Wars Mugg at Target, Anakin Skywalker.

Found the rest of the wave at TRU yesterday.

[Theo Zissou]

cool. i've been hoping to find these soon. my local target is a little backed up with the palps mugg.

[Keonobi]

Saw and bought my first Clone Wars wave Might Mugg, Rex!  Very excited that I finally saw this.  Hopefully I'll see the others soon.

I've said it before - but I would have been all over this line if they were half the size.  I REALLY want the Emperor, but if I pick up one - then I must collect them all.  POKEMON!!   Especially considering that Hasbro is branching out to Transformers and Joes.

oh well...Hasbro lost a few bucks on me.

[Keonobi]

If they were half the size they'd essentially be the same size as the 3 3/4" figures, right?  Is that part of the draw?  Oh in good news, I've seen Palpatine all over, and usually as a the only figure on the shelf, so if that's the only one you do buy, iFett, then you should have no trouble finding him.

I bought my first two Muggs last weekend- a Stormtrooper and Mola Ram. I initially bought Mola Ram because I loved how he looked positively insane. I bought the Stormtrooper because I thought he looked awesome.

I think I picked the wrong time to get into these, since the cool characters are pretty much all sold out everywhere, leaving scads of Palpatines everywhere.

[iFett]

I've seen Palpatine all over, and usually as a the only figure on the shelf, so if that's the only one you do buy, iFett, then you should have no trouble finding him.

Ya that's my point - he's the only one I ever see on the shelves so he's pretty much the only SW Mugg that I've been able to look at.

Ya that's my point - he's the only one I ever see on the shelves so he's pretty much the only SW Mugg that I've been able to look at.

Gotcha, I meant you wouldn't have to worry, because you wouldn't be able to find the others, you meant that you'd be compelled to find the others no matter.  I follow you now....

I've seen the CW wave at a local WM recently, but everywhere else seems to be packed with Palpy.  I haven't picked up many of these (Han/Chewie/Lando/Indy), but I was ordering some other stuff from HTS so I put a Hoth Han in there as well to go in my Han/Chewie collection.  I have to admit, I've been tempted to grab the other Original Trilogy ones (we bought a Leia for our daughter's room) - if they would have been smaller/cheaper I probably would have gotten more.  But, I'm supposed to be trying to cut back on things, not add more .

I was just looking over which ones were in stock at HTS, and I guess I didn't realize that the newer "removable mask" Vader had a full mask feature as well.  In the description it mentions that you can turn his head for "full helmet mode".  Maybe that was common knowledge, but that's kind of cool.  A good option for those who missed the earlier Vader as well I guess (I'm half tempted to order one....must resist).

[Keonobi]

I think i'm going to hold off on the head turning Vader and the Shirtless Maul, even though they kick butt, because these are such expensive suckers, for me anyway.  Plus its the one line of Star Wars my Wife really likes and actively encourages me to buy.  She doesn't get buying a character you already have though.  (You shuold have heard me try and explain buying stormies).
