I was at TRU this weekend and what a crazy, freakin' madhouse!
However, it was worth it as I found some of the new 2010 LEGO sets
I found #8084 Snowtrooper Battle pack, #8083 Rebel Trooper Battlepack & #8085 Freeco Speeder
These are all AWESOME!
LISTEN!!!..........DO YOU SMELL THAT?!

Thanks for the report Brett, I've added it to the front page.  Please Troopers, try to leave city and state where your making your finds.  It goes a long way in helping out another Trooper.

I'll edit and get this posted shortly Chad, and I'm glad some of you are using the thread.  We still have the old way too but we had to fix some problems. Also note, we're not posting anyone's email address either, in a way to keep you from being spammed.

Check out the clearance section at Toys R Us fellow troopers.
This morning I found the Dagger Squadron B-Wing Fighter for $8.55. There was only one left so I snagged it and quick.
Hopefully TRU will have some good deals for the rest of you.
Light side, dark side, light side, dark side, light side, dark side. So many choices, so little time.

Hey troops.

I hit some stores looking for a post-holiday clearance deal.  I've seen reports of the Target Rancor going for $25, but I found mine for $35.  Not bad, but I guess you need to shop around.  More interestingly, I also found some basic figure two-packs at Target.  They ring up at the price of a single figure.  There were some Legends bundled, but I mostly found Cantina and ROTS wave bundles.  Sweet deal.  Keep your eyes open.

United we find.

I don't know if this fits the type of thing you like to post or not, but Adidas has announced their 2010 line of Star Wars shoes and they are pretty cool:

I'm going to hold off on that one Jay, those have been out for quite some time now.  Also it's a Stormtrooper shoe but I do wonder if they got Attakus' permission to use those Troopers!  ;)

Howdy Troopers !  I found some new Clone Wars figures in Killeen, TX today at our ToysR'Us store.  I have not heard of these being found yet, so I figured I'd share a few pics as well....these did not ring up in their computer either, so they ran them with the regular Legacy barcodes.  These new figures have a special offer for a Nahdar Vebb exclusive figure.  Good hunting....starfox signing out.

Update the dossier Fox, there should be a lil extra bling bling in there for the extra effort!  ;)


** CAN we limit this thread discussion if possible?  I don't want things to get overlooked / missed. I'm sure he'll bump the latest purchase thread or area report with this info, I'm not trying to discourage it Bob. Just not right here!  :) :D  Thanks again fellas.

That's kinda amusing but not really front page news since it's not really collecting related. Keep digging though, we appreciate any sort of attempt at help.

Greetings fellow troopers. Check out the clearance aisles at wally world.
They still have the Legacy Pilot set for $9.00 and lightsabers for $15.00.
Today I found they have included the Capt. Rex helmet for $33.00. I'm not sure this is a great bargain.
The remote control R2-D2 is still at $20.00. Ho Hum.
The two Force Uleashed packs, Anakin Vs. Dooku and Obi Wan vs. Grevous have been marked down to $10.00
Last but not least the Sandtrooper w/ Dewback is on clearance for $20.00.
Good hunting my friends. United we find.
Light side, dark side, light side, dark side, light side, dark side. So many choices, so little time.

Dewbacks are still full price down here in da swamp.
The Pilot Evolutions are down to $12 and some change.
I asked Wal'''''''' when they would start marking stuff down and I got an answer worth posting.

Down here in Louisiana, only can the District Manager mark stuff down.
So I asked if he has to travel to each store in order for the markdowns to
be done and she said yes.

WOW, so that mean's I'll be waiting a while longer as we have those stores growing on trees down here.
They did have those clone wars and legend two packs for $5 so I scooped a few
and used my $5 off coupon which is for $20 or more spent on Hasbro SW toys , woot woot!

Update, me and a few of my collecting bros went on a figure hunt and to our suprise we found some great deals.
Wally world had the AT ST marked down to $20 so I used my $5 off Hasbro coupon and got it for $16.80, SCORE!!!




I also found a few new cases of the Blockbuster packs for $4 a piece.
They also had the single figure Unleashed mini figs for $1.
And what really blew me away was finding a few mint Saga 2 figs for $3, I scooped the one pictured as I coul
never find it when it came out.
The evolutions packs are now marked down to $9.
Get out there and get your hunt on, the prices are going down!!!

Damn that sucks, that was the only two pack you found?
Someone must have beat you to it.
I seen some in December then nothing.
I figured all the two packs were gone, then POW!

I even waited in the car while we hunted because I "knew" that Wally world (by my house) didn't have anymore
then my friend called me from inside, "Hey they got a crap load" and at first I though he was pulling my chain.

Lo' and behold here he comes with two bags full and I felt sheepesh LOL
The best one I would say, (which he got)  ::) was a Jedi Luke backed with a Slave Leia  >:( :'(
Now that's a nice two pack to have, especially since I never found either of those figs in the stores round here.

Let me know if you want me to scoop any for you, that is if there's any left.

How 'bout them Saints?  What a great game for Brees.  If you have a Ross store near you go and check them out.  I found the EE Exclusive Joker Squad on sale for $14.99 and the Pilot Evolutions on clearance for $7.49 !  Also, the Killeen Wal-Mart has reduced Dewbacks down to $15 and the At-St's down to $20.  Target has the Tie Fighters down to $27.98....no new figures though.  That's all from central Texas, starfox signing out.

Target has started clearancing their exclusives and have marked the TIE Fighter down to $19.98 up here in Bismarck ND. They still have plenty of them left too, with close to 15 of them sitting on the shelves in the clearance aisle and an end cap. Though most of the boxes aren't in great condition so they will mostly be openers unless your lucky. Still waiting for them to mark down that X-Wing though as they have a few of those left. They also have most of the figures from the ROTJ wave as well. North Wal Mart has their Dewback sets marked down to $20 and K-Mart is the only store in the area with turbo tanks left for $80, but you can take an additional %30 clearance items now until Valentines day, so you might want to pick one up for that special someone.

This report is not a happy one and pissed me off pretty bad.
The last few days me and some bros from the Redstick Rebellion Collector's club
that I'm a member of went figure hunting and we found that someone in our area
is taking the two pack figures and spitting them up and returning them for more money.

They haven't found the $4 figure two packs that I found as we double checked that store last night.
So basiclly someone is taking a hair dryer and heating up the glue to seperate them.
Some were even found where they were just cut at the top and the Blockbuster pack label left attached
and the white bar code sticker was taken off.

This is some shamefull s**t IMO, time's are hard for us all as collectors but this is low
and in the end will screw us from having these offers.
This is thieft plain and simple, some card images were also damaged or bubbled up from the process of tring to seperate them which if your a MOMC collector this card will end up sitting on the shelves for ever. Hasbro should have used a better method like using barcode stickers that leave a void imprint.
I made sure the Manager at Walmat knew what was happening so maybe to spred the word to other stores.

We found this crap at three different stores, one was a Target.
We are a tight nit collectors group and have an idea who it may be but we also have ran into other collectors from as far as an hour away while we were looking for star wars stuff too so it is hard to really know who the person or persons it is doing this.

So be on the look out for figures that have sticky residue ect...

Yep $7.49 I sent the pics to Spice already.  Only one case though.  I wasn't going to ask about the back just in case they tried to take the ones I had away from me.  I will go back in the morning to see if they have more.  These look like the best figures of that line, IMO.

I think I now know why Hasbro jacked up their prices, check this out...


Some interesting information was in the quarterly report made by Hasbro - here are the clips relevant to Star Wars:

 

Q: […] why do you think [the royalty] percentage was down from last year so much?
A: if you remember last year, […] we’d been settling some royalty audit issues we had regarding the Lucas license which went back a number of years […] so at that time we had a relatively small charge at that time of settling royalty audits at that time. We extended out rights with Lucas for two more years as well.


Q: A couple questions, first on the boy’s toys – how much of the reduction in royalties might be attributable to any kind of weakness in Star Wars?
A: Star Wars royalties were really down mostly because of a payment we made a year ago to extend our rights for two more years. We’re seeing good sell though on Star Wars, […] but overall as you can see the combination of motion picture properties, later this fall some of those properties will be beneficiaries of television support certainly the Marvel properties, Star Wars properties in the third quarter when the third season of Clone Wars kicks in […] so it’s a good combination. […] So really it’s more related to royalties paid a year ago related to the extension of our rights and cleaning up an audit.

 

Once again, Hasbro seems to mention how strong Star Wars is - but strangely enough doesn't really mention them until the investor Q&A - and then only really to reiterate the "small charge" paid because of the royalty audit and that they also paid to extend the contract from 2018 to the end of 2020. There was no talk of the consolidation of series and removal of lines due to the impact of sales - and only Transformers, Iron Man and G.I. Joe (though barely) were mentioned when headlining the boys toys section. This should be a very interesting indication of what's tom come from Hasbro later this year once these other franchises hit their peak and fall off like they historically have.

 

To listen to the full report, click the link below:

http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=68329&p=irol-IRHome



No matter how much spin they put on it the fact of the matter is they hiked the prices from their own mistakes and got caught in an audit. Another thing that was mentioned in the webcast (but was too long to mention verbatum) was that Hasbro reaches an agreement before hand about the price point and cost to them for materials used to create their products - if the cost flucuates it's dependant on the subsidiary to absorb the cost. That means that they have no excuse to raise the price because the price of plastic / oil went up. Hasbro does go on to say that the dramatic circumstances last year caused them to revise that - but they gloss over the fact that the market returned to normal by that time - so what's the deal?! Hasbro needs to get control of it's lines and how it handles them - especially if they're now going to have the line until 2020

You and Jokabofe can both bump your cred threads, as I've got this info to the front page.  I also need you guys to help me move this process along by posting a few sentances with the news.  What store you found it, what you think of it ect. , it'd just make things much easier to post, even if I have to spend a few minutes on the edit.

Star Wars Charity Car Wash Behind-The-Scenes

The Force was with G4 this past weekend as we joined with the Make-A-Wish Foundation®, the 501st Legion and Playmate Sara Jean Underwood to host the Star Wars Charity Car Wash in Hollywood. Money was raised for a good cause and people had their cars and space cruisers washed by an army of soapy wet slave Leias, Stormtroopers and one Playboy Bunny (who we're pretty sure has ties to the Rebel Alliance). You'll have to wait until this Thursday at 7PM ET to see it all on Attack of the Show, but you can look at the behind-the-scenes photos of the Star Wars Charity Car Wash right now!

I'm guessing that's the 1 of 1 bronze sculpt of it. The regular bust will probably be in black.

BBTS has them for Pre-order since they released their line up of everything. I will be picky on this set for sure of Vintage. I don't need another Vader or Luke for sure. If they do the mail away and I have to get them all I guess I will then.

TomTom announces Star Wars voices!! And on "Star Wars Day" no less!!!

http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/05/04/tomtom-release-star-wars-gps-voices-on-the-most-appropriate-day/



"Darth Vader, C-3PO, Yoda, and Han Solo will soon yell at you for making a wrong turn and advise you to make the next legal U-turn on your TomTom device. The company just announced plans to out the voice options in Europe and, well, they are simply awesome. Right now Darth Vader is the only one available, but the other three will drop later this summer with C-3PO coming in June, Yoda in July, and Han Solo in August. It’s too bad that the voices only seem to be available in Europe market, but maybe there are plans in the works to out them in the states as well. "

There's also a HILARIOUS behind the scenes video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ljFfL-mL70

*edit*

Actual voice samples of Vader on the official TomTom website:

I have a quick store report to provide everyone, and it appears Target stores are having a pretty big sale on Hasbro and LEGO Star Wars toys. All action figures were on sale for $4.99 each (regularly $6.99), vehicles were all on sale except the ARC-170 fighters, and all LEGO sets were on sale as well (various discounts). Sadly, there wasn't really anything new on the pegs, but I did get the Malakili Rancor Keeper figure as I hadn't gotten him yet. If you're looking for new figures, hop on over to your local Target to bask in the great discounts on Star Wars products. United We Find!

Hey Troopers, time to check out your local Wal-Marts for clearance deals on comic packs.  I just left the location inn Killeen, TX and all comic packs were marked down to $8 and this includes the new Wal-Mart exclusive ones.  Nothing else new to report other than that, starfox signing out.

If anyone finds an extra AT-AT driver, or Boba Fett on the pegs for $4.50 please grab one for the fishboy!  Also the green droid (I forget his designation).  Thanks!

I found those a while back and they had a few more but that
wallymart is about 30 mins away so I may take a ride out there and check it out
because they had other figs that I wanted too.
I'll let you know sometime after the weekend bro.

HasbroToyShop is having a Memorial Day sale with some items up to %50 off and the have a few STAR WARS items that are included in that. Like a 10 Pack of Offical Protective Cases for $7.49.

Does anyone know if these protective cases are any good, cause I'm thinking of ordering a few of them if they are actually sturdy enough.

Went on a major hunt here with a fellow collectors club member
to a total of 12 Walmarts and 2 Target stores, Ross, Marshals, TJ-Maxx and two TRU stores.

At TRU, I found and scooped a Space Trooper and the Darktrooper Phase 1 for $4.99 WOOT WOOT!
TJ maxx had a few older comic packs for $6.99 (one had the comic book missing out of it)  ::)

No Walmart store had comic packs on sale but all of them DID have figs on sale for $4.50
but nothing worth buying REALLY. Well I did find a Snow Rex  8)

Ross had a clone Wars clone trooper battle pack that was from Target (forgive me on what it was and the price)
they had a few Mighty Muggs there for $4.99 (2 x Gam Guard, Luke in Hoth, and 2 x Obi-Wan (bought one of those)
and a few G.I. Joe Mighty Muggs.

But the real score for me today was the Titanium ships for $1  :o :o :o
Between me and my bro, we bought them all, mine that I got are pictured below.

For anybody thinking of ordering $25 or more off of Hasbro.com, then here is a code for free shipping- 30W5WLQWT
I don't know if it can be used more then once, I got it because I was a new costumer, but I have nothing else to order off of there so maybe somebody else can use it.

I scored a few of the new Vintage line Figures at TRU Saturday.
They got the big sale so buy one get the next one 50% off.

They did have the Cloud Car as well as the new Clone Wars wave.
Since I'm not really collecting much at the moment (saving for a new vehicle)
I decided to only pick up a few so I could order the mail away Exclusive Fett.

Anyone happen to know how many mail away Fett figs come in a case?
If I can order enough betwen me and my friends to fill a case, I could get them in good condition unlike
the last two exclusive offers which all arrived damaged :(

Any way it's just a thought  8)
Here's pics of the front and back.
peace

After an unsuccessful AT-AT hunt to my local TRU, I stopped at Wallyworld to pick up a few supplies and I came home with Jabba.  I hadn't seen too many report finding this so I thought I would post pics.  Being that I never owned a Jabba before, I was suprised in a good way to find that his body was made out of flexible rubber and only his head and arms were solid.  Guess that makes him more poseable that way.  Enjoy!

Used the old DCPI trick this morning and scored both the vintage TIE and the Snowspeeder.Both are very cool representations of the original vehicles.Though I wished the TIE fighter was packed in the original Star Wars box.

Hey, folks. Young George Lucas reporting from the Kansas City area. It may have been a dark time for the rebellion, but for STAR WARS collectors, the 30th anniversary year of "Empire" has been pretty good so far. Yesterday I went to Target and they had the new "vintage" Snowspeeder---what a great toy in awesome '80's retro packaging! I had to get that--- but passed on the TIE fighter. At TR'U I found the AT-AT in both regular packaging and the incredible vintage Kenner box! Wow! Also, TR'U had lots of the "Vintage Collection" waves, and I found the Sandtrooper on the new revised card. Plus, this week had the release of the massive "Making of The Empire Strikes Back"! I must say that with all this cool stuff, the thing I'm most looking forward to is eFX's upcoming "A New Hope" Darth Vader helmet. I would gladly sell a kidney for that thing! Have a quality day.

News for Sandtroopers.com -- LOOK WHAT I GOT IN THE MAIL TODAY
« Reply #182 on: October 26, 2010, 11:22:02 PM »
Rocket Fett figures are shipping!!!!
Be on the look out for your's in the mail....








After years of getting damaged exclusive mail away figures,
I really wanted my Fett figures to be as mint as they could be so I sent along a letter with my POP's for 10 fett figs
asking to please ship them in the case they come in
and wow, they hooked it up!!

I even called them and the lady on the phone said they couldn't send them in the original shipping box so it was a huge suprise to get this in today... WOOT!!!

I also asked how many came in a case which is another reason I saved up for 10 of them as my best guess was that there'd have been 10 or 12 per case,
but they woudn't tell me but as you can see on the box there are 20 per case.

THANKS HASBRO, YOU ROCK!!!!

Hey, folks. Young Gorge Lucas reporting in from the Kansas City area. I saw in the news today that Christie's Auction House in London is auctioning off a Darth Vader costume next month. It is a suit used for the filming of...drumroll please...."The Empire Strikes Back"! The article said it is expected to go for between $250,000 and $365,000 and goes up for auction November 25. I can't imagine owning something like that, but I'd sure like to. It also said it's for sale from "a private American collector"---is it the one Steve Sansweet has, or had?

Man as small as these figure boxes are, I bet alot get damaged
in transit but I'll say this, the one I did open, the card was warped.

So I guess either way u look at it, if your a mint on card collector
what I did is the way to go.

About half of these are X-Mas gifts but I'll be keeping a few for myself and I'm even about to open one!!!

I also found an AT-AT on sale at K-mart for $55 with tax,,,   HHelllll --- yeaahhh!!!

I know I posted it in my last post but here's the skinny....or should I say Huge fockin AT-AT Walker

After reading last week that K-Mart had an unadvertised
half off sale of the AT-AT Walker, normally $99.99,
I made a call to the only Kmart I know of close to my area.

After almost 15 mins of sitting on hold
with no one ever picking up the phone including the
person that first answered it, I gave up an hung up.

I then called the scouting madman and fellow
SW collector's Club member,, TC.

He called me back to say they had two in the store
and both boxes were damaged.

Needless to say, wait.... I know I know, I said I wasn't buying Hasbro
toys as much as I use too but this beast isn't just another toy, it's a huge F'n AT-AT
and for half off at that which correct me if I'm wrong,
shouldn't have EVER been on sale this fast especially at KM
which hardly ever marks stuff down like this.

So heads up, AT-AT's are half off, if you can find one left that is.
Happy Hunting  ;D

Hey, folks. Young George Lucas reporting from the Kansas City area. This week Target seems to be the place to be for Classic STAR WARS collectors. Thursday morning I found the new "Return of the Jedi" vintage wave (which were on an endcap and were ---surprisingly---unpunched! Great for the ultimate nerd collector. All of these figures were really awesome, especially Woof, the Gamorrean Guard and Admiral Ackbar---plus they finally nailed the Luke Jedi Knight. They also have their exclusive vintage vehicles and two Hoth sets on sale! Have a quality day.

Vader costume fails to sell

LONDON – Auctioneers overestimated the power of the dark side.
An original Darth Vader costume from a "Star Wars" movie did not sell at auction Thursday when no bidder offered to pay the reserve price, Christie's auctioneers said.
The outfit — a jet-black helmet, mask and armor — was expected to sell for between 160,000 pounds and 230,000 pounds ($250,000 to $365,000). The reserve price is confidential but generally it is just under the minimum expected price.
Christie's said bidding stopped at 150,000 pounds.
The costume is thought to have been made for "The Empire Strikes Back," the second film in George Lucas's sci-fi series, released in 1980.
The auction house's head of popular culture, Neil Roberts, said the costume is one of the most iconic in the history of cinema.
Christie's did not name the seller, identified only as an American private collector.

Chicago, fox valley correspondent checking in.

Up for a showing of the original Star Wars Episode iv on the big screen? Or so it's being advertised, I don't know how accurate that is. Well, if you in chicago, the western suburbs to be exact it's playing at the Arcada Theater in Saint Charles on Wednesday at 3PM and 7PM. Admission is 5 bucks - I hoping some 501st show up, it would be awesome to see some costumed fans there. I'm taking my boys age 9, 7 and 3 - since they've never seen it on a screen bigger than our TV.

yay..

Hey Troopers, finally something new to report in central Texas.  At the Harker Heights Wal-Mart this morning I found 2 cases of the AOTC wave of vintage figures, most of the cards were a little bent up or crushed bubbles, so I only bought a few for openers.  The Killeen Wal-Mart had the other vintage wave with Gree, Stormtrooper, ANH Luke, & R5-D4, etc and a few of the newest Clone Wars wave including Trooper Heavy, R7-A7 & the new Cad Bane with TODO 360.  KMart had At-At's on clearance for $50, but they didn't last long and no sign of Trooper Locke yet here locally.  That's all from here, starfox signing out.

2 Wal-marts in my area have put both Legends & 2010 Vintage figs for $2.50 all crappy!!
and Kit Fisto ex vhx for $10 everything looks in bad shape, packaging wise.
Hopefully this means I will finally see 2011 figs at Wal-mart once all the old stuff is gone.
& of course I paid full price??

I am in the New England area now and discovered Newbury Comic Store.  Anyhow I found vintage variant Wedge, Gammorean Guard, Logray, and Bespin Han.  Unfortunately they are a steep $12.99/ea bought figure I could save gas and buy them now.  so if you are in the NE area that chain of comic stores are receiving figures.
Is it time to go home yet?

From what I've seen just in stores in general, places are doing 40% OFF RIGHT NOW on stuff.  They're doing everything they can to make a "black" week with all the early sales.

I noticed the article on Lucas retiring.  I find it sad to see that the fan boys/gals have upset him after the awesomeness he has given us.  I am not sure if it is the minority that are ticking him off but I hope he hears that others appreciate everything he has done and all that other jazz. 
Is it time to go home yet?

Hi,

I'm the Media Chair for the Celebration VI Collecting Track, and we have some news we'd like to get out to the community.  In fact, we have a bunch of announcements to make, so any help you could give us by posting it on your site would be appreciated.

Firstly, we would like to release pictures of more of the Star Tots we will be giving away at our presentations.  They are 2" tall, flat die cast enameled characters, based on the unproduced Star Tots toy line from 1979.  We will have 20 different characters, one at each of our presentations.  I have sent pics to your email.

We would also like to announce that we are seeking submissions for our display area:

"Here's your chance to share an unusual item from your collection at Celebration VI. The Collecting Track social area will feature a locked professional display case to highlight items that collectors do not often get to see. The focus is not about value per se, but oddities that exhibit the rich diversity of items that people can collect. Whether it's a toy exclusive to Spain, a cereal box from South Africa, or a hat made for cast and crew members, the goal is to feature items that will spark attendees to say, "Wow, I've never seen that before!" 

Because of space constraints, single items should not be much larger than 1-2 large shoe boxes. Small collections of items will be considered if they can fit into a similar size space, but groupings of items should be based on some unifying theme (e.g., food collectibles, watches, Australian items, etc.) and visual presentation will important.

To be considered, please contact Todd Chamberlain at todd@toychamber.com by August 10."


As well as announce the Social Area:

"The Star Wars Collecting Track is better than ever at Star Wars Celebration VI with the addition of the Collector's Social Area!

Organized by Marjorie and Arnie of the Star Wars Action News podcast, the Social Area gives Star Wars collectors the opportunity to network with other Star Wars collectors, learn more about the collecting hobby, and get autographs from authors of books on collecting. 

The Social Area will feature collectible roundtable discussions led by collecting experts from across the globe. You can meet other collectors from your area and join a collecting club! Listen to live podcasts about Star Wars collecting from Star Wars Action News, the 'Chive Cast, and This Week in Star Wars! Meet the owners of some of the most popular collecting websites, and more!

Plus, on Friday night in the Social Area, the underground hotel sales come to you with the Star Wars Collectible Swap Meet! Held in the Social Area, bring some of your Star Wars items to trade! Find the one figure needed to complete your collection, or that one-of-a-kind item you can't live without.

Stay tuned for a full schedule of events, and be sure to stop by the Collector's Social Area, room W304."


Thanks,
Tommy
