Today was special, I got Tarkin, Oddball, Malgus, Hoth Luke, Wedge, Shae Vizla & Starkiller ALL unpunched.
I know have a inside connection with TRU & was told more is coming next week & this will be easy to get with inside help.
I have them now & if anyone else does? let me know.

Congrats!
I guess we all need an insider working @ ToysRUS.

Thanks Nabil, I ordered last wave from them since BBTS was sold out, same price anyway.

I will grab anything for anyone that I can. Just let me know, I am going back Thursday for another Truck.
If not for him I would NOT have been so lucky. The scalpers run to the aisles as soon as door opens & will grab it all.
They play dirty & scalp for profit. I play intelligently & to win. David said anything I need he will help US.
So just let me know because he said Xmas stock begins in Sept & TRU is about to start prepping & getting more stock.
If I am careful?!?! I can use my work to pay for postage too. I don't want to over pay & I don't want any of you to either.

i broke down and ordered the last wave plus the Tarkin wave from BBTS, no more driving around and wasting gas for me or extra disappointment either

Great. So $30 to $50 for that Obi-Wan. Here's where I get frustrated because I already have older sculpts of some of them that look fine. I could care less about the Gungan and the podracer. The clone and Obi Wan and maybe Ahsoka are the only ones I want from this wave. It's just very stupid to me that they would do it like this. Why? What's the point? I didn't realize that Hasbro did it like this until I discovered Sandtroopers. The Obi Wan is so freakin cool, too.

Hey my friend Past Generation Toys is another great website I go to buy figures and they're actually taking pre orders for 1 figure from the whole case that won't be in stores. Here's the link so you can pre order Obi-Wan:

I hit 100 bucks on a scratch ticket - so I put and order for the MTT from Target.. had a gift card as well... Hopefully this beast will not disappoint... I am not thrilled with the droid statues... but whatever!! it better be big enough to customize a better droid rack with folded droids.

That's awesome! Congratulations on winning $100 shoot a coworker of mine recently won $5000!!!! I could do a lot with that. But I'm glad she got it cause she's a nice and sweet person.

that is my problem... when I hit it is always 100,,, I never get the big paydays... better than a stick in the eye!

lucked out today and got the last sets of the Yavin Pilots and the Ewoks boxed sets from TRU

each qualified for a freebie movie legends so I picked up the older SBD and a Droideka for free
why not?

$19.95 for Obi, sounds like that price is too inflated for my tastes

pshorrock72 · « **Reply #3017 on:** August 13, 2012, 04:26:13 PM »

amazon pre-ordered the expanded universe republic trooper for 12.99... not bad... but nowhere as bad as 19.00 to 40.00 on etailer sites... sorry folkes - anything a few bucks over retail is scalping..

Lord-Penter · « **Reply #3018 on:** August 17, 2012, 05:55:48 PM »

My TRU got in 4 cases of figs (2 were Saga Legends? 1 MH & VC)
I was able to pick up Imperial Navy Commander for me, Anakin for Han so Low & Malgus for Nabil.

Hasbro, WTF!!!! Why are you repackaging old TPMs figs with new figs? In the 1 case were 6 newer figs & 6 TPMs?
More coming next week & will grab for Jedimcore & Lt. Starfox & ??

TRU did get 1 case of Ewoks & Pilots Battle packs $40 ea?!? & they were crushed, I passed for now on them. There will be plenty.

Slobba_the_Hutt · « **Reply #3019 on:** August 20, 2012, 12:12:37 PM »

found the entire Lost Line wave and matching TVC figures at WalMart

of course the LL figures were not in the computer so that added another 15 minutes to checkout

Hand So Low · « **Reply #3020 on:** August 20, 2012, 12:39:47 PM »

Found 4 of the new blue-card figs at Kmart today. I picked up Bespin Leia and saw Vader, and 2 clones... Also put on layaway the AT-ST and the Bwing.

JediMCor · « **Reply #3021 on:** August 22, 2012, 03:04:13 PM »

Today I went to Kmart and found 3 B-wings for $20. So I picked 1 up for me. About time they went on clearance. If anybody else wants the last 2 B-wings, let me know and I will pick them up for you tomorrow.

you should wait until they have one of those 1/2 off sales on clearance toys and grab them for $10, I'd buy one then !

darthdan · « **Reply #3023 on:** August 25, 2012, 10:18:22 PM »

Got a Kmart b wing for 20 bucks. And then I paid way to damn much for the MTT at Walmart

Time to open her up and check it out. Maybe snag a 2nd one on clearance after x-mas.

Lord-Penter · « **Reply #3024 on:** August 30, 2012, 07:11:34 PM »

Picked up Vintage Card Jar Jar, Bespin Leia, Shock Trooper, Clone Lt. & Vader with lightning helm
I saw some of the new card figs & 3 were exactly the same, card was only difference?
I passed on new cards, they were the same ones in Comic Con ex set? Why are these out now?
Is this going to make collecting Vintage cards more difficult? On back of Vintage Card is pix of last wave?

colwildcat · « **Reply #3025 on:** August 30, 2012, 07:14:35 PM »

Amazon is about the only place I've been able to find anything - so I picked up a couple of Vintage Starkiller's for $12.99. Within 5 minutes, they were back up to $27

Lord-Penter · « **Reply #3026 on:** August 30, 2012, 07:23:07 PM »

TRU is only retailer who seems to be getting? If you know what day the truck comes in & be there at open? Best chances.

Bought The Phantom Menace Darth Sidious at Target today.

Right? Who's buying the fighter pods, anyway? Stores are full of them.

I actually bought the $20 set for my nephew, he loved it as well as my niece who took all the lightsaber wielding characters and played with those. So I'd say these are a hit with the kids.
His favorite character is R2D2 and loved the snowspeeder dropping the ball...LOL
