Short of a miracle "buy-back fairy" coming and taking away these figures, my local WM's are now PLAGUED with repack Jedi Knights (Barriss, and Alya Secura) as well as Yoda/Youngling and Youngling 2-pack figures... The repack waves hit Wal-Mart in the recent days here, and they hit them HARD. Peg after peg of these multiply repacked 2003 figures have leaked out once more.
I found sme Yavin wave stragglers buried amongst them, but not a single Antilles. I'm glad to see he sold as well as he has... Dodonna and TIE Pilot were most "abundant", but there weren't many, and one Dutch remained.
Beyond that, not much... A Skiff Lando was lying about too, which that figure's great. It won't last I don't believe.
Endor wave has hit here I heard, and is gone subsequently. Blah
I hope these craptacular repacks are bought up... Kids snagged them en masse the first time, I hope that happens again, but somehow I'm thinking it won't go that way and these ones are here to sit a while.
Hoth Trooper though, to me, is still the undisputed king of Pegwarmers now... He plagues every TRU here, and in large #'s. He's terrible as a figure so that's not boding well for him moving. Had he at least been semi-decent I'd be picking him up here and there for custom work... At least some kitbashing, but he's not even got a single piece worth reusing. Even the head's terrible looking.
Fortunately, TRU's are ordering around him somehow... Later waves have come and gone while he and R-3PO sit, and sit, and sit... 3PO I sort of understand, because for what you get, you do feel jipped. The Trooper is just raw crap though... The kinda figure you grow to despise.
TRU's a bit better about spreadingn orders out over a FEW waves at least. The Hoth wave and Bail Organa were all around X-Mas time so they're lingering yet, but those others are thinner and they come and go... I just hope they keep it up and don't back off ordering ANYTHING for a time.
