Ditto for me. Valin, did you secure TRU BP yet? I checked Glen Burnie the other day...nuthin. Had no less than 3 pkgs. yesterday: Corp. Hicks from Hot Toys, EE Anakin Reveal from Gentle Giant & Cmdr. Bly from ShopSW.com. The combo of Kit Fisto & SDCC Sith Anakin 12" is muuuuuurrrdddduuuuurrrrr!

I saw the third variation of the Cantina figures today (clear glass with translucent blue paint.) They're still sitting on the pegs. I did clean WM out of sandtroopers though. Since the sculpt is so good, I've started repainting the pauldrons to make a little army.
Slicker
07-01-2006, 12:19 PM
Found the Cantina wave in abundance today. I picked up Han, Vader, Luke, Hammerhead, and R5. They had at least a dozen sandies at the PA WM.
Also, Scott I got yer package out today.

WM in Frederick on route 26 had the transformer milenium falcon. It looks even worse than I thought it would. I did break down and buy the Arc-170 transformer, but I think that's the only one I'll ever get unless they seriously improve the looks of these things.
Nothing else to report.
I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July.

Hope everyone had a great holiday! Nothing new on the collecting front, but I wanted to mention I'm going to an NSO concert at Wolf Trap this Friday(the 7th) called "To Boldly Go...". They are featuring music from Star Wars, Star Trek, Close Encounters, Day the Earth Stood Still, Twilight Zone; as well as Holtz's The Planets. The guest narrator is Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy! I believe there are still tickets avail. as well as lawn seating.

I went by Target today and didn't find anything new. Still waiting for Endor and H&V Wave 2.
That sucks about your WM kh. :(

The Target at Potomac Yard had the Tat wave around 4 pm...was pleased to actually find something relatively new that late in the day. They also had the Ultra Titanium AT-AT.
UKWildcat
07-07-2006, 09:56 PM
I was able to go by WM today but they didn't really have anything. They did have some of the Tat. wave, which was the first time I had seen it there. The SW section didn't change btw.
Kidhuman
07-07-2006, 11:32 PM
Picked JJ up a Tat. Han and me an extra Sandtrooper at Target today. They also had the VTSC figs, DOGG and Batlle pack marked down.
UKWildcat
07-07-2006, 11:36 PM
They also had the VTSC figs, DOGG and Batlle pack marked down.
The Target here still hasn't marked any of these down. They have tons of VTSC and Battle Packs that aren't moving so they should be marked down soon I would imagine. They only have a few DOG figures left so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't get marked down.
Major Karr
07-09-2006, 03:25 PM
Was able to find Mace's starfighter yesterday at the 7 Corner's Target (no sign of Vader's TIE) and found the Hoth Unleased BP with the turret and laser cannon (no sign of the Snowspeeder) at the Bailey's TRU today.
Kidhuman
07-09-2006, 07:10 PM
CB WM had about 3 cases of Tatooine out. Tons of Hammerheads and R5's as of an hour ago.

Same here kh. Target restocked with several cases of both the Tat. wave and H&V wave. Unfortunately it was only H&V wave I and not II. :(

CBurg Walmart: Tatooine wave. Question...where the heck did all the Unleashed and VTSC go at the Walmart? That area is now stocked with Superman, and they couldn't possibly have sold it all. I walked all over looking for them (hoping they were on clearance).
Kidhuman
07-15-2006, 05:43 PM
They packed them up and stuck them in the back. They werent sure if they were getting sent back or will go on clearance next month when they do the Christmas resets.

Cburg Target has Skirmish at the Senate Battlepacks marked down to $13.98 now. And in a bizarre move, they put out three 500th Vaders still ringing up at $14.99...odd.

How was the condition of the box? Hopefully mine is a day or two away.
Major Karr
07-18-2006, 07:00 AM
The top right of the bubble is dented, but since I had to open all those cases to get the POP, it is easily replaced. The card is in great condition though. I was a little wary before I opened it, the mailer was somewhat beat up.

A friend of mine in Frederick got his George Trooper yesterday. Hopefully mine will be coming today (especially since I mailed my certificate in a month before him.)

Went by Target today but they didn't have anything new out. They finally dropped their price on the VTSC to $10.18 though.

According to the employee, they are boxed up in the back and will be put out once the Cars and SR stuff gets smaller. As for clearance, no one knows there.

Comic con exclusives are up on Hasbro's site now. I just ordered one of each (that's the limit.)

07-20-2006, 01:49 PM
Well...all I can say is you're one of the chosen ones. I got home around 2:30 pm & the 501st trooper is out of stock. SSDD. I tried around 6am, not up yet!
mtriv73
07-20-2006, 02:17 PM
I tried at 8:00, 8:30 and then hit paydirt at 8:45. After that it was almost impossible to even get on their site.

That sucks!!! I would rather the item just be sold out then waste 90 mins trying to check out when it is in stock, just to find that its sold out and out of stock. Of course I am not a happy camper either way. :upset:
jonthejedi
07-20-2006, 05:55 PM
Right there with ya...as somebody today already mentioned....that sound you hear is Hasbro dropping the ball again.
Kidhuman
07-20-2006, 06:24 PM
I am glad I asked someone going to get mine. That would pi55 me off waiting 90 minutes and then nothing. I would beat an old lady on the street if that happened to me.

Glen Burnie TRU had something like 11 Hunt for G. BP's on both sides of the SW V section.

Has anyone in Maryland received their banged-up Lucas stormie yet? I got my 10 from ShopSW.com, and to my surprise, actually received them slightly before retail did. I sent my P.O.P. in almost immediately...and my check cashed back in April. Am I alone?

My friend Dave (also here in Frederick, MD) sent his in about a week after they debuted and just got his Lucas Stormtrooper last week. I sent mine in a week later, the check was cashed 05/26, and haven't gotten anything yet. I'm not going to worry for a couple months. They probably got overwhelmed with orders the first few weeks and may have run through the first cases they got in.
Kidhuman
07-23-2006, 08:32 PM
I havent receieved mine yet either, but then again, I didnt mail my check until the middle to end of June.
CB WM - packed out about 3 more cases of Tat wave. Picked up a sandtrooper, left the 32 Hems, Garandins and rest behind.

Saw the Endor wave today at Glen Burnie TRU 'cept the Death Star Gunner which was long gone. I'm waiting for a cheaper mass merchant on this bunch...I can't justify 6.99 for this wave. I DID pickup new Titaniums sandcrawler, blue A-Wing & Executor.

Surprisingly, just found Endor wave at Kingstowne TRU. Still one gunner left as of 12:30 PM.

07-26-2006, 01:25 PM
Got my George Lucas as trooper today. My great mail person even brought it to the back porch, even though it would have fit in the mailbox. I was really lucky...even though the white mailer box had dents, dinges & one gash mark...the card & clamshell were mint. As much as I loved the novelty of the Lucas trooper & the Family set, I would have loved George as himself with jeans, flannel shirt & cap. Think of the neat access!

I wanted to let ya'll know that the Virginia Beach Ollies got in some AOTC and OTC Star Wars stuff. I doubt that they have them out yet but if you go here is what I could see:
12" AOTC Mace Windu $9.99
12" OTC figures $24.99 (definatly the wrong price)
3 3/4" OTC Bespin Leia and Sandpeople $3.99
AOTC figurine $9.99 (jango, anakin, windu)
I think that is it. They also got in 12" GI Joes and 3 3/4 Joes as well. I didn't have time to look at it all because I had to get back to my store in Norfolk. I did grab a 12" Mace that I missed:-)
I would "assume" the Hampton Ollies got some Star Wars stuff as well??? I'd call before you go.
My store, Norfolk, should be getting a large assortment of Hasbro stuff. We open in late August but I will post what I get when we get it.

Kidhuman
07-27-2006, 11:46 AM
I found a lone Emperor at Radofrd WM today. They also have them on clearance for 6 bucks.
They reset the entire store and it now looks like Target. From I they told me, all WM's will be remodeling eventually. I hate the new look. They cut the toy dept so much in that store that I may never go there again.
Other Clearance prices for Radford WM -
basic figs - 6 dollars
Titanium figs - 11 dollars
Ultra Titanium vehicles - 15 dollars.
Darth Taters - 5 dollars
Early Bird Kits - 5 dollars.

Alright, John. Be on the lookout for the Endor wave. It has officially hit in our area at both Lynnhaven and Military TRU's of all places.

07-27-2006, 10:33 PM
I went to Target tonight and picked up a VTSC Greedo to open and a Han for my kids X-mas present. 2.98 each aint a bad price I think. They had no DOGG or I would have gotten that too.
mtriv73
07-28-2006, 07:50 AM
I may have to make a target run today.
My 501st trooper came in yesterday. It looks fantastic. I was even more impressed with the gold vader's tie though. I thought it would be all one color like the silver vehicles, but it is actually several shades of gold/copper/bronze.
UKWildcat
07-28-2006, 12:40 PM
I went back to Target today and they finally marked their VTSC down to 2.98 so I picked up a Han, Greedo and Tusken. They were out of everything else.
No Endor wave either.
Slicker
07-28-2006, 12:57 PM
Hey, UK. If you don't mind and you have the extra skrilla would it be possible for you to pick up the VTSC figures for me at that price so I can get the Lucas? I've already got the Biker Scout sticker so I just need the other 4 and from what I hear the Luke is tough. I was at my Target last night and didn't see ANY VTSC figs. Any help would be hot and you know I'm good for it.:whip:
UKWildcat
07-28-2006, 01:53 PM
I can definitely get you a Solo and Greedo. I'm pretty sure I got the last Tusken. I can give you the tab/sticker from my Tusken though, if you want it. I could actually give you all the tabs from Solo, Greedo and Tusken if you are more interested in those than the figures themselves. Then you would just have to find a Luke tab. Just let me know.
Slicker
07-28-2006, 02:07 PM
Hell, yeah!! If you really don't want the tabs then I'd much rather do that. I'll probably be able to get a Luke somewhere. Just let me know a price and I'm good to go.
If you'd rather, Slicker's mom is available the 3rd Tuesday of next month. I can pencil you in if you want.

I had to go to the Hampton Ollie's today to get some stuff for my store so I checked out what they had gotten in. I did a double take because they had 4 Clone Wars Hailfire Droids and 2 Geonosian Starfighters on the shelf for $14.99 each!! I grabbed 2 Hailfires and 1 Starfighter. The rest should still be there is any ventures that way?
They also had 4 Target Slave Leia w/glass for $5.99 and 4 Playskool Millenium Falcon Playsets for $39.99 which seemed high to me. They didn't get in anything else Star Wars that I could find.
Has anyone checked their local Ollies to see what they have gotten in? I am interested to see what other stores are getting in.

Slicker
07-29-2006, 09:41 PM
You keep mentioning Ollie's and I never remember to go in and pay a visit. I guess the fact that I haven't been out toy hunting in several weeks would do it as well.

Giant Foods has the 5 Vintage figs. for 7.99 thru Sat. Most stores I've been in have both the scout trooper & Luke avail. These are in the seasonal aisle, usually in dumps or on a shelf near Superman figs.

CBurg Walmart, Late Last Night: The only way to score toys at that store choked with the Tattooine wave is to catch something on the pallet...which I did last night. They had a case of H&V Wave...bought all but the doubles (C3P0, AT-TE Gunner) so that's 1-9 of 14. Only missing R2, Shocktrooper, Emperor, Clone Commander, and Obi Wan, which are 10-14.

CBurg Walmart: Ton of Greatest Hits sitting on the pallet tonight...probably six cases. I had the lady open up two, but they were the first wave (1-9 of 14). KH, if you happen to swing buy and the other cases have the Shocktooper and others in them, could you please try to stash or pick up for me (10-14). Appreciate it if you can.
They also had several cases of new Hoth Unleashed Battle Packs. I picked up a set of each of the Snowtroopers and the one with Vader...wicked sweet pose, by the way.

Went back to Cbirg WM to get some grub. Passed by toys and they had the cases of H&V out in a shopping cart, looking like they were going to build an end cap. No shockies or anything 10-14. I did throw 8 501 troops on lay-a-way along with R4-G9, Padme, Fisto and an AT-TE gunner. If ya need any more of the army builders, there were a ton of them left Aant...

Cburg Walmart: KH, you were right. They built an endcap with 12 pegs x 6 figs on it of H&V wave (1-9). Below were all the VTSC listed at $9.96. We're talking 9 deep on 12 lines...a crap load. I literally saw 9 Scouts lined up back-to-back. With the regular pegs choked with Tat wave figs, this store is screwed for a while (but will be MONEY when it comes time to mark clearance).

TRU in Frederick had a ton of the H&V 1-9. I doubt the 501st troopers will last the night, but I think the rest are destined to be here for a while. Maybe this is all Hasbro is shipping of this wave (I hope so.) The first wave like this this year didn't last long, but I never saw this much of it in one place either.

I think one of the employees at the Frederick TRU must have busted someone's stash, because I found 2 Death Star Gunners hangin' out together right up on the front of the pegs. I'd seen evidence of the Endor wave last week, and no new Chirpas, 3POs, or Jerjerrods, were on the pegs, so I'm thinking it had to be someones hidden stash. Anyhoo, they're mine now, and they rock. There were also a few Scorches, if anyone still needs 'em.
Also picked up a 501st trooper at Frederick Target. Not a bad score today.

Not yet. I'm hoping it's under The Tree this December. Funds are going to be really tough. My son Tyler(you remember our littlest Jedi & George Lucas ambassador from CIII) is facing some serious surgery near his spine & skull to stop potential paralysis from happening. It won't stop his condition, but hopefully will buy him many, many more years. Because his parathyroid gland isn't functioning, areas like his skull, spine & legs are receiving too much calcium(I never knew this was a BAD thing)...causing the bones to fuse. He faces the danger of them compressing vital organs or damaging his nervous system. So...you can imagine what the co-pays are gonna be like. My wife may take a leave of absence from her job til he recovers. Needless to say, my SW collecting will be minimal...no repacks!

They were also back in stock today(Sat) at Glen Burnie Toys R Us, along with 1 Endor AT-AT. Found(finally) a lone red shocktrooper just sitting out at Arundel Mills WalMart. Then when I visited WalMart in Laurel, I scored a Vader Dashboard Driver(great soundchip!) sitting on the shelf in toys. While I was there, an employee came over & repegged(no lie) TWO shocktroopers & 1 clone commander(which I nabbed). I suspect she turned up someone's stash in another part of the store.

TRU in Frederick has a huge SW display when you walk in now as well as the regular display. Despite this, I haven't found anything worth buying. I've still never seen a b-wing titanium or 2 of the three new BSG titaniums. Also, there are so many c3po's from the "ultimate what can we get them to buy wave" clogging the pegs that it makes me think he's part neimoidian.
I'm scared. I've been complaining for years about too little product on the pegs and now there are whole waves sitting around for weeks. Is too much shipping, or are we seeing a drop off in popularity of the line? If you have to over ship a wave hasbro, make it the wave with all the freaking different clones!
Personally, I blame kidhuman & his "&'s" for causing all the problems in the world, but what the heck do I know?

I'm not shelling out an extra $5 for what should have been free. THey do that all the time with their supposed "bonus" DVD. Meanwhile, Glen Burnie TRU has moved their SW section up near the entrance. They had like a stack of about 30 X-wings...impressive, most impressive. The toys are on an island near customer service. Figs., mid-size vehicles, Ties, etc. The lithos are really nice by the way...11X14"(frameable, baby) classic SW poster art & even the folders have artwork, too. DVD's were only 14.99@.

Picked up Ep 1 Obi w/soft goods, Naboo soldier(the ONLY newbie), Darth Maul holo & Vader w/force lightning around his head. Whoever got the rest knew they were new, cause I didn't see Gragra, Endor foot soldiers, carded Endor Luke or podracer duo. They were also loaded with revised case goodies like 501st, clone cdmrs., red shockies, At-AT drivers, snowtroopers, Tat. Lukes, etc. I saw the same two boxes at north GB WalMart, but no new wave.

New force comics has it even cheaper if you buy the sets in multiples of 2.

Here's a little update on my car situation for those who care.
I got my new ECU back last week and installed it on Friday. Much to my disappointment, my car still would not start. Today I decided to have it towed back to Mitsubishi. A couple hours later I got a call from the mechanic and it turns out that one of the transistors went bad as well. It is going to cost around $300 for the new part and installation, which is fine with me. They had a transistor on hand and they replaced it and my car started up without a problem. They also said the new ECU works great, which is awesome. Originally this whole car fiasco would have set me back around $1600 but since I took care of the ECU stuff myself, I am only going to be paying around $1000-$1100. I am still going to be in the market for a new vehicle but I atleast have more options now and my own transportation again.
I am going to start up collecting again, WOOHOO!!!, but I am only going to be buying the stuff I really want because I still need to conserve my money for this new vehicle.
Just thought I'd let you guys know what the dealyo is.

Thanks for the news heads up, but as far as I'm concerned...it can stay in the stockroom. I want NEW figures & vehicles. I'm finished with repacks, repaints & redos in general. They won't be conning me into buying extra figures in 2007 just to fill a coin album, either.

Frederick Target had the Kit fisto star fighter today...pass. TRU had 2 of the 3 battlepacks. I was at least somewhat interested in the Naboo one since it had soft goods jedis and a new battledroid. After seeing it though, I might pick one up if I can find it for $5 or less...delivered. The pit of carkoon pack was also not something I would consider paying hard earned money for (especially since I've already bought all these figures in the last year at least once.) The battlepacks are definitely feared toward the kiddies and I'm going to let them have them.
BTW, Wal-mart on 26 in Frederick has figures for $5.70 each now. Don't know if this is true at any others, but I'm tempted to army build Moff Jerr Jerrod's! :rolleyes:

The Emperor was in the last Endor wave(#43) & should be in abundance at your local TRU. The Endor Luke as well as the two(variant) Endor troopers are going to be the tough ones to procure(see armybuilders).

I just picked up luke endor, the african-correlian endor trooper, gragra, rep been, holographic maul, vader, and the pod racers from a fresh case at WM labeled wave 6 rev 2 which I thought was interesting since these are supposed to be wave 7. There were 2 black troopers, 2 vaders, and 2 naboo guys in yellow jumpsuits in the case. The only one missing was obi wan. I guess someone got it before me, but I can't imagine why they left the rest of them sitting there in the case.

You mind clearing up what you mean by "kool-aid drinker?" Taken out of context, I know what it means and how it's used, but as it relates to your post, I'm hoping you don't mean something else by it. And if you do, I'd hope the mods take appropriate action.

I was actually going to go hunting this afternoon but I woke up to find my neighborhood and the city of Williamsburg under water. There is a flood warning for the area and it is flooded. Its the worse I've seen it in years. There has been a storm system sitting over my area dropping massive amounts of rain for well over 10+ hours now and is supposed to continue all day. There is also some wind and thunder and lightening as well. How are you fairing Slick? It doesn't look like you are getting the constant rain and flooding problems that we are. I hope all is well nonetheless.
I'll be sure to post the rainfall count when all of this is over and I wouldn't be surprised if it is over 12".
