Posted by: Darth_Spice | 22 January 2012 | 12:46 EST Sandtrooper Dennis Reports: TPM 3-D hitting Illinois!
“Hey Troopers, I finally spotted new Phantom Menace toys in our area. The Walmarts in Waukegan, IL & Zion, IL were stocked with the Phantom Menace wave for the Vintage Collection, the Movie Heroes, the Darth Maul carded Clone Wars figures, and Star Wars Transformers. The Walmart in Gurnee, IL only had the Movie Heroes, Clone Wars figures, & the electronic Darth Maul helmets. It looks like only one case was put on the pegs for each of the different lines. No sign of these at the Targets & Toys R Us stores in the area. Maybe they're waiting to put these out on January 30th like they're supposed to. Later Troopers!”
