Sandwatch Action Figure Reviews: Triple your Pleasure!
We might have had an issue with some of the figures from this wave coming up a little short but I guarantee this is not one of them. In fact it has the ability to tower over them all! Thers is no doubt one of the hardest figures to find in the wave just might be the Tri-Droid. There is no doubt this will be quick for the pegs as most army builders might have the need for one or six! Do you? Feel free to offer your own feedback about the T.A.C. collection. Until then enter if you dare!

Sandtrooper Dennis Reports: New TRU Battlepacks hittin'!
 “Hey Troops, Here's my store report for the first week of May. Toys R Us (Gurnee, IL) had the TFU wave. I picked up the only EVO & Jump Trooper. The Shadow Guard & Vader was gone. They also had the Hoth patrol & S.T.A.P. battle packs. Target (Gurnee, IL) also had the TFU wave, but no Troopers, Shadow Guards, or Vaders. There's very little Star Wars items due to the push for new Batman, Hulk, & Indy toys. Interesting thing was that Waukegan's Target & Wal-Mart had the Hasbro Indy toys but Gurnee's didn't which is strange. That's all for now. United We Find!” |
