Scored Bly and Gree this morning. Lots of revision cases have been hitting, few initial cases with all 7 new ones.

After going 38 days without stocking a single new basic figure, the local Target store FINALLY put out! 

Someone beat me to the #57 Bly and #60 GrevGuard they had, but I walked away with 1x each of #58 Wookiee, #59 Gree, #61 Senator Dork, #62 Lady Senator Dork, #63 Nemoidian Commander.

Good to see Targets are getting this wave in too... they rang up at $5.44 each under the same Collection 1 DPCI (for those that like that sort of info).

Scored 2 Clone Evolution sets at Wal Mart with their reset. Of course, that was the only new item at the store. Target had only Mon Mothmas and Palpatines, along with those dumb clamshells.

The solid cases of Vader is a disaster waiting to happen.  He's popular, for sure, but I don't think shipping him 12 to a case along side cases he's 2 or 3 in is necessary.

Is there anyone who wants one and doesn't have one by now? ::)

I found 2 red guards at my 24hr Wally tonight. ;D That's the first time I've seen 'em since 4/2. I got one matte finish and one gloss. I alos finally picked up a ROTS 3PO, I've seen him a few times but I always passed. After reading Jesse's review I decided to finally pick him up.

I concur, a good week. Bly and 2 Grees. Shock Troopers, 1 Target Vader and Stormy Cup. I'm happy overall. Now to find the Tact Ops Clone and the R4, the Target exlusive Clones and I'm done!

And I take it that the Collection 2 "find" that GH posted a few days ago is looking like BS more and more? Has anyone actually found these?

It's looking more and more like that was a fraudulent report, especially since he said they were 3x per case in the case he found.  A quick look at EE this morning shows that Hasbro CHANGED the case assortment - the 501st is not at 3-per-case in ANY of the case assortments now...

From Friday through Sunday I picked up the following:

1x KB 9-Pack w/Silver Vader (*bleck*)
2x Rebels vs. Empire Battle Packs
1x Jedi vs. Separatists Battle Pack
3x Commander Gree
3x Commander Bly
3x General Grievous Bodyguard (white)
3x Wookie Commando
3x Nemoidian Commander
2x Passel Argente
2x Cat Miin

I think that's everything.

I'm starting to think that report on GH may have been bogus as well - 2 per case seems to be the best ratio that's going to be available.

Based on that HORRIBLE rev 2 case pack, I'm hoping the majority of the cases shipped to the stores is the original Col. 2, Wave 6 ratio where you get 1 each of the holo figures and wookie and then 2 each of 501st trooper and the r4 unit. The other figures are completely un-necessary (except for perhaps Meena Tills), the rest have been easy to come by. If I had the choice on how to pack this case it would have been:

2x Aalya Secura (holo)
2x Plo Koon (holo)
2x Wookie Heave Gunner
3x Tactical Ops Trooper
3x R4-P17

Of course that would make sense, which is why it wasn't done.  :P
