PA SSG'ers

[Dar' Argol]

This has been created in regards to a PM between myself and Jedi Master Sal. He expressed intrest in meeting other SSG'ers as did I. I know of a few forumites from PA. BoShek, brentfett are the two that come to mind. I want all the other PA'ers to sound off here. I even suggested to jedi master sal that maybe, if we could get enough ppl together, we could all meet somewhere and trade/discusse/have a good time. So let me know either here or PM me and we'll see what happens.


To the only state that's not a state:D.

[brentfett]

Hey all! I'm outta Stewartstown, PA. I work in MD, so (between my friends and I) I usually patrol for figures from York down to Baltimore. So should we also treat this as a sort of "Just Found" type thing and list new finds too?

[jedi master sal]

That would be a welcome addition indeed.

I know for myself that I greatly anticipate the actual meeting of some of my fellow commonwealthers. (pennsylvanians)

BTW, i just scored tics for epII off the net. WHOO! HOO!!!!!

YES!!

I plan on seeing it at least 6 times on the 16th. starting with the midnight showing and going from there!

welcome to all pa'ers and anyother bodering state members who might want to "join the club"

[subMERGE]

I'm from the Altoona/State College area. The kb in the Altoona Mall (Logan Valley) had 5-6 each of Luminara, Royal Guard, and Taun We for those who haven't found them yet. Altoona TRU had a few dookus and yodas left with massive amounts of Anakin HD, Zam, Clone Trooper, Dexter, and Genosian Warrior. Walmart had the first 14 plus the jar jar wave+ zam and clone trooper. Target had the same as Walmart, but was a dollar more. Family Toy Warehouse had the same as Walmart minus Zam and Clone Trooper. I still can't believe that the Altoona Big K has nothing. I'm going to State College this weekend, and I'll post later that night.

[Dar' Argol]

FYI guys, we just got the Qui-gon/Orn Free Taa wave in last night!! So be on the look out. Anyone see the bespin wave yet?? I have 4 holes on my wall where those figs go:(. Mabe later I'll post some pics of my collection.

Hey Sal, I can get a Dooku if you still need one. LMK:D.

Oh, BTW, forgot to mention where I was from. I am in a little(well not so more) town called Hanover. Its about 30 minutes from Gettysburg and York.

Woo Hoo, Hangover!!!!:D

[brentfett]

I talked to one of my friends who lives in Towson, MD on the net last night, and he said he spotted the Bespin wave along w/ the new Jango and Mace. So, hopefully they should be hitting PA soon. They were spotted at the Towson TRU.

[SWAFMAN]

hello. I'm in Bellefonte - next-door to State College. I'm mostly an Action Fleet / Battle Squads collector, so I haven't been checking the stores too closely the last couple weeks. I usually hang out at the SSG MicroMachines forum, but it will be nice to meet some more enthusiasts nearby.

Some really old pictures of my collection, and a current version of my checklist are here (http://home.adelphia.net/~jr44772/CollectionsPage.htm).

I know this is more aptly aimed at the movies threads, but for the State College folks, I called Cinema 5 on Heister Street, and they said they'll probably do a 12:30 AM show Thursday morning, and tix will probably go on sale at 6:00 PM Wednesday. There will be no way to buy tix any earlier than that. They weren't 100% on the details. It will also be playing, starting Thursday daytime, at Cinema 6 by the mall. The Garman Theatre in Bellefonte will NOT be showing it. The owner said she had to choose between Spidey & SW, and she decided to go with Spidey 'cause it had a better profit margin for her. I believe it, too!

[BoShek]

Hi guys. I live near Bloomsburg but I go as far as State College to Philly.

[Dar' Argol]

The local theater around here (RC theaters) is having a midnight showing on 5/15. I got tickets last Sunday!!!

Swafman, BoShek, good to hear from you guys!!

brentfett, thanx for the heads up, when they hit my Wal=Mart i'll let you know:D

[A.J.]

Hey, all! I'm in Littlestown, just south of Gettysburg. Dar'Argol, I usually hit the Hanover Walmart every other weekend or so... I work in MD so I have a few Walmarts, Target's and a couple of TRU's if I make a big circle between home and the office. The TRU in Columbia MD had the remains of the Bespin wave yesterday or the day before. I passed on Jango and Mace. No Lukes/Vaders to be had.

[dr_evazan22]

Yo! Yo! Yo!
I want to give a shout out to all the other peeps here in this thread!

Seriously, I live in Newark DE now, but I'm from, and still go to Lansdowne/Upper Darby and other Delaware County area's, as well as the Wilmington/Newark area.

It would be pertty cool to meet you others and have a "club". I wouldn't be willing to go to Pittsburgh or Erie, but someplace a little more central would be good, for me.

Does any one else here have SW costumes? Will you be going to E2 dressed?

[subMERGE]

If anyone is still interested, the KB in the State College Mall (Nittany Mall) had Eeth Koth, Rebel Trooper, Zutton, FX-7, and some older POTJ.

[dr_evazan22]

I am planning on attending the SW exhibit that is in Brooklyn sometime in June. If anyone is interested in going up, or meeting me there, that would be cool. LMK.

No costume yet, working on it. But I do have these. Each one is an original and made by me. Its 98% bike parts! And it took about 3hrs total to design and bild them.

[Dar' Argol]

And here's the second one:

[SWAFMAN]

State College K-Mart still has some darth mauls for about $1.50 each, the 12" amidalas in different costumes (really cheap, but I dunno the exact price), and I picked up a tatooine accessory set for $1.50. It has a cool yellow droid in it.

Target has a good selection of 3-3/4" figures, etc., as do both WallyWorlds.

[A.J.]

Dagnabbit! I missed Bespin Luke again! Stopped by Hanover Walmart on Saturday and found one Final Dual Fett, nothing else. Hope someone who wanted him picked him up.

WHAT WHAT WHAT!!!!!!!!????????!!!!!!!!!!!

Hanover Store???????? What time did you stop buy AJ?? I have been looking for this wave to come in and I have not seen it yet. Usually they save a case for me so I can get the Asst #'s and case Qty for my Case Asst section. I also have 4 lonely spots on my wall where those figs should be:(. Maybe when I go in tomorrow:D. Oh, BTW, thanx for the saber thing. Took a bit to build and ran into a few problems on the way but they were worth it. They're not even done though:rolleyes:.

[subMERGE]

The Altoona Walmart had Massif, Orn Fre Ta, Endor Soldier, Final Battle Jango, Luminara, Taun We, and Royal Guard, but didn't see Mace Windu, Bespin Luke, or Bespin Vader.

I stopped in sometime around 10:00 am on Saturday 5/11. There was won final battle Jango in the regular figure aisle behind some a couple other saga figs. It was the only one from that wave which I saw, and I LOOKED. Maybe someone just returned it there or something... BTW when is Hanover Walmart gonna markdown the deluxe Luke and Mauls which have been clogging the shelves?

DANG! I got into work on Mon and could not find any of these:(. Oh, I can wait:D.

No word yet on when the Bacta Luke or Training Maul will come down, but as soon as I know, I will post it in the news section on the front page. Know what, I'll post it here too. BTW, just to let you know, we moved all the AOTC figs from the front of the store to the toy dept right behing the bike accessories:D.

[underdog25]

Hello PA! I live in Catonsville MD and have had no success in anyone wanting to start a collecting club here so............up north I will come. Acutally I was born in State College and grew up in Bellefonte, Bald Eagle Area school districts.

Dar' Argol: Sounds like you have a cool job?! Me too.

SWAFMAN: Is this Joe? How is the collection coming? I bet you can't wait till some new stuff comes out?

[SWAFMAN]

U25: is this WP? How are you doing? Long time, no see/hear. I thought maybe you moved away. The collection is doing ok. For some insane reason I've decided to now go for openers of everything, in addition to the boxed ones. Pretty crazy, eh? My checklist is linked off my home page, if you wanna take a look. There's a link on my profile. Keep in touch!

[Dar' Argol]

Welcome underdog25 and thanks again for the info subMERGE!! Yeah, I have a pretty cool job but it barely pays the bills:(. Oh well, I'm looking at other options right now:).

Sooooo, who say the movie yet???? I saw it last night and let me tell you one thing, AWESOME!!!!! I "liked" TPM because I knew it was going to be slow and a little boring. Its the first chapter in a book! But AOTC, man I wish I had money to see it again!!! I saw it last night at the RC Theaters here in Hanover. I even met up with a few friends I hadn't seen since TPM! IT was a great night:D.

[brentfett]

Welcome underdog25, I work in Timonium, MD at a printing company. So where do you look for figures?

Dar Argol, congrats on seeing the movie, I hope to go sometime this weekend. Despite dismal reviews, the fans seem to be really enjoying it. Haven't been looking a lot for figures lately. I'm not a completist, so once I find all the figures I want in a wave I will lay off until a new wave comes out. I did pick up a Luke Bacta figure for 6.99 at the KB in the Galleria Mall this past weekend though. I'll keep you all abreast of any new finds I come across.

[Dar' Argol]

Thanx brentfett! I know I'm not gonna find it, but if you see a dirty biker scout let me know. Don't beleive the dismal reveiws, this movie ROCKED!!! I hope everyone will get a chance to see it. Wait what am I saying, of course you'll all get to see it:rolleyes:.

[dr_evazan22]

I completely agree w/ you Dar' Argoll! The movie was freakin' AWESOME!

I had read all the spoilers, the book and the comic before-hand, but none of them did the movie justice! I thought Hayden did a great job playing Ani.
I wasn't a big fan of the clonetrooper's before, but seeing them in the battle really changed my mind. They seemed 10x's better than Stormie's.

Watto was one of my fav characters from E1, I think he was one of the best CGI and acted characters, and he was just as good in this. I realize it was a small part, but everyone involved w/ Watto did a great job.

I went to see it at the AMC Springfield 10 in PA and saw one of the Stormie's that was out at C2.

More later.... I plan on seeing it again, maybe Mon.

[Thrawn]

I am in PA as well in the Pocono area.

Only thing I haven't been able to find is Teebo and R4-M9...would be nice to finish off POTJ.

Scranton is loaded for stores - everything is there including a Target coming in Oct.

[underdog25]

brentfett-I live in Catonsville. I look for figures at alot of places but since I work for TRU I can get whatever comes in so I don't have to look for alot except for exclusives. I only get one or two and leave the rest for the shoppers.
Dar' Argol-Do you have any MGR or Supv. experiance in retail? Willing to relocate? LMK. Email me.

Why TRU that hard up for ppl??? LOL:D. I am a dept mgr at Wally-World. Willing to relocate???? Hmm, that's why I haven't entered the Asst Mgr's Training program even though they offered it to me twice. PM me through here or catch me in AIM if you have it. Well talk:D.

BTW, the Jedi Training event was really cool today for the kids. I have about 30-40 kids stop by for it. They all had a lot of fun. No Besbin Wave though:(

Thrawn! Nice to see you. Forgot you were a PA'er!! Welcome:D

[subMERGE]

Attention!!! Family Toy Warehouse in Altoona had TONS AND TONS of Luke Bespin (non-bloody), Vader Bespin, Mace Windu, and Jango Final Battle! I about fell over when I walked in. I picked up a Luke and Mace, b/c I already had Jango and didn't want Vader.

[brentfett]

Saw AOTC yesterday and all I can say is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
Now I really can't wait until they put out the C3PO w/ Battle droid deluxe figure!!!

[Dar' Argol]

Sweet find subMERGE! We still have not got them around me:(. *sigh*4 lonely holes *sigh* LOL:D.

brentfett, I can't wait for that one myself for some funny recreations!! "Oh, I'm beside myself" LMAO ROTF!!!!!!!!:D

[brentfett]

Anybody seen Palpatine or Dejas Puhr around yet?

[lurk_shady]

Hiya guys!

I'm here to represent PA Star Wars enthusiasm and collecting, I come from near Pittsburgh. I live less than 2 miles away from a Wal-Mart, Target, Toys R' Us, Family Toy, Ames, and many more outlets...if I can ever get a hold of anything for anyone, just drop me a line, and I'll keep my eyes peeled! Just found the Bespin Luke/Vader wave today (it kicks ***$)!

Check my feedback on EBay HERE. (http://cgi1.ebay.com/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?MyeBayFeedback&userid=lurk_shady&pass=M2fyUQb.30pwa9ynwT8rD.2&first=N&sellerSort=3&bidderSort=3&watchSort=3&dayssince=2)

I also have a few extra Dookus for any great offers, but mainly looking for Djas Puhr and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine right now...

Thanks a bunch!

[lurk_shady]

My Wal-Mart down the road has a few of these left (Vader/Mace/Luke/Jango)...gimme a hollar quick if anyone wants me to pick em up!!

[Dar' Argol]

Just checking in to see how everyone's holiday weekend is going!! I'm just relaxing at the computer, moving threads, warning ppl, reading all kinds of thread:rolleyes:. Anyway, nothing new has poped up here:(. I can wait . . . . . . I can wait . . . . . . . I can . . . . . . . WHERE'S EBAY!!!!!! LOL

Sal, where have you been hiding??? How's it going on your end??

[underdog25]

The Walmart in Elicott City MD had the Taun We wave but nothing else. Weekend is going good. Too much traffic here in Baltimore.

[Dar' Argol]

Where in Baltimore are you underdog25?? I use to live right across the street from Memorial Stadium. Past the parking lot across the street in the little row homes behing it. The we moved to Parkwood Ave. Right off of Bel-Air Rd near the intersection of Frankford St. Right down from St. Anthony's School. Then we moved up here:(. BIG change from the city!.

[underdog25]

I actually live in Catonsville. I am sure that you know where that is. I have only lived here for a few years. I'd much rather be in the country. BTW I found a POTF Orange carded Leia today at the local Walmart!! It is the "monkey face" one and .00 to boot! It was only a $1 and in the clearance aisle. Lots of stuff on clearance but no SW to be seen except her. I grabbed it. Someone must have put it under a base stack or someplace like that.

[lurk_shady]

*anxiously awaits the Chancellor Palpatine wave*

I'mon my way to Wal-Mart now...they do stock at this time at the one by my house...

...wish me luck!!

I also want one of those Ultimate Jangos!! Dang!!

[brentfett]

I haven't seen doodly squat lately. Got everybody I wanted from the Orn Free Ta wave a few weeks ago but have not seen it since. I hope we are not already getting to the point where all non-pegwarmer figures become a problem to find.:frus:

I hope not too. Although we here have received nothing new in for a while. Even the toy dept manager was wondering and asked me today if there was anything new coming out soon. I said there was about 8-12 figs we have not gotton in yet so they should be coming.

Good score underdog25. I found her and a bunch of others "hidden" in our back room in '97. Needless to say they have been a part of my collection since then:evil:. Hey, I don't hide stuff, and if I find it, no one else does either!! That's what Layaway is for. And I think I know exactly where you are. Been a while since I was to Catonsville though.

[underdog25]

Chambersburg Kmart had 4 12" Jango Fett's around noon. The Hagerstown Walmart had the Endor Trooper wave too.

[brentfett]

Seen anything new at your Wal Mart Dar' Argol? The Shrewsbury one seems pretty stagnant. I'm wondering if I'll ever find Puhr let alone the new Chewie!

[Dar' Argol]

Originally posted by brentfett

I heard from the toy dept manager that on Thurs, my day off, they go in 3 cases of the Orn Free Ta wave. I never saw any of them on Fri. I wanted to get another Mastiff and Endor Rebel. Oh well. Other then that, nothing!! If Hasbro keeps pulling this crap, they will have a lot of PO'ed ppl on their hands!!

[underdog25]

Even though it is far for you to drive, the Walmart on Rt40 right off of I81 had at least 10 Endor troopers lastnight around 5pm.

[brentfett]

Dar'Argol, let me know when you give up on finding the Endor soldier around you, I can probably get one down in MD. As for the Massif I haven't seen much of him lately.

[brentfett]

Dar'Argol, is it true Wal Mart has lowered their prices on figures to 5 bucks? Is this POTJ as well? Does this mean the Deluxe figures will be reduced as well?

[Dar' Argol]

Yes its true brent, I posted it:D. WM will take them down to $4.77 on all AOTC figs only. Upon further inspection today of the price changed I found that it was only AOTC, POTJ is not included in the drop. BUT, this leads me to beleive that they should be clearancing that line soon. Why drop the price on the newer line and not the older. For more on this go to:

Attention Wal-Mart Shoppers!!! (http://www.sirstevesguide.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9628)

And this is only on Basic. No deluxe, beast, vehical, saber, or anything else. I was going to post it here but I figured you guys would see it somewhere in here, no need to pad:rolleyes:.

[brentfett]

Hey Dar, Shrewsbury Wal Mart got in a couple of cases of the Orn Free wave, so maybe Hanover did as well. If not let me know ASAP, I'll snag you a Massif and Endor soldier if you still need em. By the way are you a carded collector or for display purposes only? Let me know! By the way, where did all our PA people go?

[Dar' Argol]

I think everyone mistook my referance to the mastiff and endor rebel. I was going to pick them up if I saw them and there was nothing else. Kinda like a "I really don't need them but if I see them I might pick up an extra". I am still on the hunt of a Biker Scout dirty though:D.

I haven't been in at work since Fri night to do some shopping. Didn't see anything new though. I don't know where everyone has gone.

Sal, Swafman, Bo Shek, uh. . . . . . . did I forget anyone. . . . . . sound off guys!!!

BTW, I want to give a bigTHANX! to underdog25!!! I went down to see him on Fri and he hooked me up with the AT-ST's I've been looking for (for my Endor display I'm building) and 2 of the background figs I could not find!! Also tried to sell me a ulitimate Jango, but my wife would have killed me:rolleyes:. Thanx again underdog25!! I'll see you again.

[underdog25]

I wish that more of the PA people would post. If anyone is still looking for the AT-ST's give me a PM and I will see what I can do. Dar can give me a referance. Nothing much new here in MD. I still have 7 of the 12" Jango's. We did get the Unleashed figures and they went VERY fast. The Maul looked great.

[SWAFMAN]

Dar & U25, I've been reading but haven't had anything to post. I'm an action fleet collector, so there's nothing due out for me until July at the earliest. At least that's the latest release date I've been able to find. I have been picking up some stuff on eBay over the last couple weeks, but it's all the same old stuff, mostly getting duplicates to use as "openers" for display. Just yesterday (Saturday) I received my 2nd toyfare dagobah x-wing (http://www.sirstevesguide.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=105472#post105472) - this one was to display out of the box. As you can see from the linked post, I was very happy with it.
So I haven't been going to the local stores lately, but when I do, I'll try to post here whatever I see, figures and all.

It's great to see the spike in overall enthusiasm with the release of the new film and its products.

[Dar' Argol]

Just wanted to make sure that you were still here SWAFMAN. I haven't even seen you posting in the forums much. I thought about getting that X-Wing when I saw it in Toyfare but I deciede I really didn't need another collection.

Not only does underdog25 have about, what, 10-12 AT-ST's left, and the 12" Jango, BUT, if you want to start a fleet(or finish) of Naboo Starfights, he's got about 20someodd of them left. And I think he said they were around $9-$10. If I had more starfighter pilots:rolleyes:, and room!!!

If you guys see any more PA ppl out there, club them over the head and drag them back here:D, hehehe. And if anyone see's jedi master sal, club him over the head and drag him back here too!!!!

[A.J.]

Hey, gang! Had to go out of town for a wedding. On my way to Washington, PA, I picked up the deluxe Nexu in Gettysburg WMart. Saw them in Chambersburg and Washington, too... as well as loads of the Orn Free Ta wave. Sadly, no Palpatine, Chewie, Han, Obi-Pilot or Djas for me.

[Dar' Argol]

Sweet find A.J.!!!!! Since G-Burg got them, hopefully Hanover got them as well:rolleyes:. I haven't been in at work since fri night, so hopefull we got some good stuff and I didn't miss it!!

brentfett, I just relized I didn't answer one of your questions.
By the way are you a carded collector or for display purposes only? Let me know!

I use to be an all carded collector. Then I got some Spawn figs about 7 or so years ago. I was collecting a lot of X-Men and comic book releated figs at the time. So I decided to open a few Spawn figs. B/4 I knew it, 95% of my collection at the time was opened:eek:. So the I started to collect SW somewhere around the end of the orange card/begining of green holo's. Every piece was carded that I had. Then I stared to by 2 of a few and open one. Well now, most of my collection is still carded b/c I can display it better that way, but about 20-30% of it is open and displayed. So I am a carded/loose collector:D.

You can see some pics of my collection here:

My Collection (http://www.sirstevesguide.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=90287#post90287)

[BoShek]

I'm here! I have was staying away from this place because of all the spoliers and I saw the movie a few days ago.

I visited my friend in Philly (week after Mother's day) and went to dozens of stores and in one TRU they had Dooku and Yoda. I saw a few more Yodas in a Wal Mart the next day but that has been it for those two!

I also nabbed two BoSheks in a Philly TRU but have not found R4-M9 nor Teebo yet. Anyone help me out? I need two of M9 and one Teebo. I'm sorry but I have nothing to trade and could only send a money order.

No Phur nor Palpy yet in Wilkes-Barre or Bloomsburg.

So:
Wilkes-Barre TRU: Tons of Zuttons and a most AOTC figures; a lot of preview figures so if you need any white Clone Troopers . . .
Wikes-Barre Kay Bee: AOTC and a few Leia Ewok figures for $3 each
Edwardsville K Mart: AOTC plus Lando and Tussek
Berwick K Mart: AOTC plus Lando and Tussek and Jar Jar
Bloomsburg Wal Mart: Tons of Endor Rebel wave but older AOTC thinning out. Also Bepsin G and Duros warming the pegs
Bloomsburg Kay Bee: Usually one step ahead of Wal Mart with new waves
Bloomsburg Ames: Best place for vehicles with a 30 percent off day! I got the Slave I for $18!

[underdog25]

I have 50 plus Naboo fighters at the store plus 12 plus At-St's. The fighters are $9.97 and the At-St's are still $29.99 I will keep everyone posted on when my store gets the TRU exclusives.

[Dar' Argol]

Hanover WM got in the Dexter/Geo Warrior wave and the Orn Free Ta wave sometime between the weekend and today. And there are plenty left. Haven't checked Super K or KB down here in a while, I might do that tomorrow.

Bo Shek, good to hear from you!! How did you like the movie?? Any real surprises for you?? Good to have you back:D.

[PygmyAllosaurus]

Hi, new poster here. After I found this, I had to join. Anyway, I'm in the Chambersburg area. I just got back from checking there tonight, if they had any Nexus earlier, they're all gone now. I didn't see any. Just to be sure, I checked the Wal-Mart in Hagerstown,MD as well(the one that's been mentioned earlier, right off I-81). It looks like they had the Nexu(a good section of the pegs were empty with the deluxe figures), but they also were gone. Oh well, I was really hoping to find one tonight.

That one is definitely the place to go if you need Orn or Endor Soldiers though, they have about 10 of each at least. They only had 2 Qui-Gons though, and only 1 Massiff(this was the first time I've seen it, so at least I got something tonight). I'll be checking the other stores in this area on Wednesday, I'll let everyone know if I find anything interesting.

[BoShek]

The movie was great! I don't know where to start!

Some surprises were: seeing Christopher Daniels out of costume, the "no droids line" and the whole ending (I thought the Clones were going to be bad). Lots of little things (like the blue milk) that made this movie great.

[Dar' Argol]

Good to have you aboard, PygmyAllosaurus! Chambersburg is almost a hop-skip-and a jump away from me. Good find on the Mastiff. It really should be with a Tuskin though:rolleyes:.

Bo Shek, your right, a lot of the little things did make it.
"Why do I get the feeking you'll be the death of me?" LMAO in the theater!!!

Did you like the CGI Yoda, or do you prefer the muppet?? IMO, I loved the CGI Yoda! They were able to do more with this character, more movement, more expression. You can also hear it in Frank Oz's voice. He's less distracted and strained, he put more into the character:). I just loved the entire movie. Its a shame it didn't do better at the box office. I mean it did well, but I was expecting it to topple Spiderman:rolleyes: :D

[brentfett]

My buddy spotted the Nexu and Slice-and-Dice Anakin at the Cockeysville Target today, if anybody is interested I can snag some.

[BoShek]

I liked the puppet better.

[BoShek]

The puppet for closeups and CGI for shots far away would have been good.

[Dar' Argol]

I really liked the CGI all around. I can't wait for the DVD release in November!!! My fear is that it will be a straight movie version, with no extra stuff. And then 6 months later they will release a "Special Collectors Edition Platium Never Before Seen Sneak Peek Of EP3" version:rolleyes:

[SWAFMAN]

State college, PA: north atherton walmart had a lot of EP2 figs (didn't note specific ones), a few POTF, and the silver anniv sets. zam wessel car, slave 1 & snowspeeder, 12" figs, basically a lot of stuff.

Kaybee had a small assortment of EP2 figs (higher priced than WM, but still under $5) and a few diecasts for $3.99 each. The cards for the die casts have a hasbro logo where the galoob logo used to be in the lower left corner.

[Sith Lord 0498]

Wilkes-Barre Wal-Mart: tons of Vader and Luke Bespin Duels, Jango Fett Final Battle, and Mace Windu Geonosian Rescue (ABSOLUTE WORST FIGURE EVER!!!)

They also had a ton of the Endor Rebel Soldier, Orn Free Taa, and Massiff last week that sold out fast along with the Anakin and Nexu deluxes. At least they ARE getting newer figures in.

Now if I can just find Palpatine around WB/Scranton...

[Dar' Argol]

Happy friday everyone!!!

Oh and it is such a happy friday too!!!!:D

Hanover Wal-Mart just got in this morning Both cases of the Bespin wave. The one that includes the Endor Han, and the regular Case!! Brentfett, I suggest going down there soon. If you can't find a particluar fig, let me know, we have more in the back!!!:D

Oh happy day, I put them on layaway until payday. Thurs my holes on my wall will be filled:D :D :D :D

[PygmyAllosaurus]

There were tons of the Bespin wave at the Chambersburg Wal-Mart today, I already had all but Luke, but it's nice to see them showing up in larger quantites now. There were no Endo Hans there though, or any other newer figures.

[BoShek]

Bloomsburg Wal Mart got the Bespin wave and tons of the Endor Rebel wave (sans Jinn, who has sold out!) but nothing newer.

[brentfett]

Yes, the Bespin wave has finally descended on Shrewsbury Wal Mart. Looked at probably a dozen Lukes and didn't see one bloody on. They did have a few Jango FB with the flame pointing up but I passed on those because none were in good condition. Anybody know just how rare or sought after this version really is? So Dar Argol, did you find the new Chewie? He is really the only one I want from this wave, and I saw none with the other figures.

[Dar' Argol]

There was not Chewie in either wave. I think he's coming out in another assortment. I didn't know anything about a FB Jango varaint. I personally don't care for the variant. The only one's I collected was the backgrounds. Underdog25 helped me finish that off with the Battle Droid and Plo Koon I was missing. Of course I now hear that the Geo Warrior and Dexter also have backgrounds. Anyone seen any of those??? But no Chewie or pilot Obi either. They will most likely come out next. ANd Han only came in one of the assortments and was 1 per case:(.

[BoShek]

SWAFMAN,

Can you let me know when the Target packs hit State College?

[SWAFMAN]

will do my best BoShek

[BoShek]

Thanks. I read that they will be out next month but when in July I don't know.

[BoShek]

Has anyone seen the BoShek wave pop up anywhere? I need to R4-M9s and a Teebo.

[jedi master sal]

It's now the busy season at my work and I had to cut back on my net time. As some of you have may already noticed I had to temporarily step down from Moderating the SAGA forum though I stillMOD the POTJ forum. Anyhoo, I have the scoop on what's available in the WHOLE SW region of PA. I constantly check and travel from as far as Cranberry down to washington PA as well as greensburg and Uniontown (not to mention various and many places in Pittsburgh itself.) So if you looking for something in particular and live relatively close I can find what you nee and we can do an exchange.

I have an extrqa TEEBO and R4-M9, Bo-shek if you need them still.

I was lucky enough to score the NEXU approx a month ago. (I posted this as a news article on the main site about this).

I'm pretty involved with a local SW fanclub here in the 'burgh if anyone is interested. We have monthly meetings in person and also hold SW card games and are planning on going to a Pirates game as a group thing, plus we're going to have a picnic sometime in July or August as well.

Has anyone had luck finding the last wave of figs ie: Obi-wan Jedi starfigher pilot, d'jas puhr, chancellor palpatine, han endor, and chewie bespin?

these are the only 3 3/4 figs I stil need.

I'm also looking for the 12 inch yellow clonetrooper (KB's exclusive), I got lucky and scored the red one a week ago here in Pitt.

well, getting busy here at work so i'll ttyl

and
MTFBWyinz (pittsburgh thing)

[Dar' Argol]

Ahhhh, the prodical son returns! :D Good to hear from you Sal!! No luck on the pilot Obi or Palpy here. Although we did get in some Endor Han, but I think he's all sold out by now:(. How cool is the Nexu anyway?? I haven't seen it yet. Is it really worth picking up??

Sounds like you got a lot going on in the "burg". Glad to see you are still here! Oh, SirSteve delivered your euligy at your funeral the other day and JarJar said he gets your SW stuff b/c "he would have wanted it that way" He he he :D

[PygmyAllosaurus]

I got the Nexu and Acklay yesterday, at a Target in MD(Anyone who's familar with the area I'm from knows how close Chambersburg is to the PA/MD border). Anyway, I don't know if that helps or not, but it might be a good idea to start checking Targets(not that there are very many of them in PA...)

[Dar' Argol]

Bo Shek, talk to underdog25! He's got the whole wave (I think) on layaway in Ellicot City MD. I'm getting the Teebo from him, but I know he also had the R4-M9 on there too. He's out on reserves for about another week, but when he gets back, I'll let him know your looking for them:D

PygmyAllosaurus, thanx for the report!! The closest Target I have is in York (I think, brentfett??). There is a rumor flying around here that a Target is coming to Hanover:rolleyes:. At least I can get some exclusives then. Which Target did you hit, Hagerstown, Westminster, Eldersburg????? Just wondering, I have some friends in those areas I may have to call:D

[brentfett]

Dar, the York Target is close to you but there may be another one nearby. My friends live in Westminster just off of 30 and they talk about a Target close to them they always shop at. I'll find out.

[A.J.]

Yep, there's a Target in Westminster where 140 meets 32. York Target has never had anything any time I've gone. There's that "collectibles (scalper)" shop in the Mall behind TRU. I think they clear out the York Target.

[PygmyAllosaurus]

The one I went to was in Hagerstown. The Acklay I got was the last one, though they still had a couple Nexus and deluxe Anakins.

[rynobot]

Found 4 acklays at Hanover walmart and bought them up.

Funny how you are changing your story, to try to make it look like you arn't Tastetesta. Dar' Argol already said that that Wal-mart didn't get the acklay in yet. And now you are saying they did, but you bought all four. Where as your previous post says that you only bought one. Note the following part of your post: "I did find the Acklay at Hanover Walmart though and bought myself one of them."

Hello, I've had a horrible time finding new figures around here. The newest ones I have seen were Orn Free Ta and Endor Rebel Soilder. It is impossible it seems to find Yoda, Dooku, Clonetoopers, and HD Anakin. I did find the Acklay at Hanover Walmart though and bought myself one of them. If anyone around this area can help me find any new SW stuff I'll be a big happu fan boy. York, PA is not a strech for me and have found the At-St at the TRU there and am hoping to here of where to find more SW.

MTFBWY and HH!!

Jar Jar Binks

[rynobot]

I never changed my story Jar Jar, I said I bought my self one, I bought the others to trade to people who need them. I also send first because I'm new. How can I rip people off if I send first?

[brentfett]

Rynobot is that Tastetesta dude?
Are you from PA Jar Jar?
I'm confused........:confused:

[rynobot]

Hello, my name is Ryan Unger and I live in Gettysburg, PA. I am 18 years old and graduate from Gettysburg Highschool. I am interested in meeting collectors from around the area. I will try to help anyone here that needs any SW stuff.

I think alot of people have got off on the wrong foot with me and would like to apoligize to any who have misidentfied me for someone else. I am currently in NJ on vacation and SW hunting if you need any of the new released SW toys tell me because I'll pick them up for you.

Thanks

LOL!! Brentfett, that's good! No JarJar isn't from PA, but he's been helping with the Tastetesta issue:D

As far as Rynobot, he is going to get me info on Tues to confirm if he did indeed purchase the ackly's at my store. So until then, be nice. Tastetesta may have duped us:mad:.

[Dar' Argol]

I want to give a big thanx to brentfett!! He got me a Nexu at Target! I love that fig! Definitly worth the $7.50!! I am very happy with it. Thanx again brentfett!!!!

[brentfett]

No problem! It was great to finally meet you in person. I probably could've BS'ed about figures till the sun went down! Hope we can do business again in the future.

[Big Chewie]

Hello everyone
Just found this thread so I thought I would say Hi!
I live in Maryland down near Germantown, so I check it, Frederick, & Mt.Airy pretty often let me know if there is something I can help look for. I drive up to Gettysburg about every 2 weeks so I could bring it up around there for ya. I had planned on going to Hanover this weekend, but didnt make it.
Maybe next weekend.
I am mainly looking for POTJ items since I finally caught up with AOTC (except that darn Chewie) so if anyone sees any, I would greatly appreciate it.
My last findings were at the new Wal-Mart in Owings Mill MD. It had the Acklay, Obi-Wan Starfighter pilot, Orn Free Taa wave & Bespin wave.
GoodLuck with our hunts!

[brentfett]

Hey Big Chewie! Glad to have you aboard! So far it doesn't seem like Obi pilot/New Chewie/Djas puhr/Palpatine have appeared yet in PA.

[Dar' Argol]

Greeting's Big Chewie! Glad to have you on board!

Sucks to hear about the Owings Mill MD though:(. I usually post here about new figs showing up in WM so check here from time to time. I've also met 2 of our "clubbers" brentfett and Underdog25(who should be returning from guards soon, I got something for you man!!). Maybe if we get enough ppl, and enough intrest, we can all meet at a central location for everyone:D

[BoShek]

Went to Wilkes-Barre a few days ago and nothing new (not even the Endor Soldier wave up there yet).

[Sith Lord 0498]

Actually, BoShek, I snagged the Endor Rebel Soldier wave about 3 weeks ago at the Wilkes-Barre Wal-Mart. The pegs were filled with them--just like they were filled with the Bespin wave a week later. I guess you just have to hit the stores at the right time and hope your lucky. They also had a case of the deluxe Nexu batch the same night they had the ERS wave, and they also had about six Acklays last Friday (all gone now though).

[BoShek]

Well, I consider the Endor Soldier wave old. I was looking for the Plapy wave or the new Chewbacca Wave.

[rynobot]

My six year old Nephew was up in Roaring Spring for two weeks and found an Acklay and the deluxe Anakin at Target. His grandparents up there didn't allow him to buy the Acklay because it cost to much, atleast that is what he told me.

[Dar' Argol]

This is the same message I posted in the Trading Section:




***********ATTENTION***************

There are very few times I miss new stuff coming into my store. This is one of those times.

I want to publicly apologize to rynobot. I was wrong in accusing him without futher information. The info he supplied to me off of his receipt proved that he indeed did purchase those four Ackly's from my store.

So please, do not treat him any differnetly then any other forumite. His info and I beleive his claims are legit! Once again, rynobot, I am sorry for jumping the gun so to speak. Its seems that Tastetsta has managed to dupe us and cause us to turn on someone who does not deserve it. I know I have learned something here and I hope the rest of you have too.

Dar' Argol




So with that, I'm sorry again, and welcome to the forums!!:D

[Big Chewie]

Hello again, and thanks for the welcome!
I made my way up to tha Hanover WM yesterday and was wondering what was up with all the empty pegs?
Dar' Argol are yall about to downsize your display or restock?
Please say restock with lots of Chewies! PLESAE! PLEASE PLEASE!
I did pick up the POTJ Luke in Bacta tank & Maul w/sith attack droid you had on clearance, what was all that dust on them? Guess they've been there a while huh. Almost got those 12" but I dont really collect those so I left them for someone that does. It was a pretty nice store though, toys were fairly organized. Give ya a thumbs up!

I have found nothing new around here since the Owings Mill finds but I'm still looking. So far the find of my week is the UTZ chips outlet store in Hanover. Heres my 50 gallon can. Fill'er up PLEASE!!!!!

Good Luck & Happy Hunting

Big Chewie

Figures, the one day away from work and they Clearance the Swimming Luke and shirtless Maul:rolleyes:.

No, we are not Downsizing, that's just all we have left!!! We have NO more cases in the back!!:eek: So to consolidate on space, they moved them all down so when we do get new stuff in, that's where it will go. We have not gotten the Chewi wave in yet.

And yeah, those POTJ have been there a while:rolleyes:

[Little Yoda]

Don't know if anyone in the Bethlehem/Allentown area still posts here at SirSteves, but I just found these figures today at the KB Toy Works store on 191 in Bethlehem:
Orn Free Taa (I got the only one as far as I could tell)
Djas Puhr (two remaining when I left)
Massiff (two left)
Palpatine (three or four still there)

Also had a dozen Rebel Soldiers, a few Obi pilots, the latest Luke and Vader, about four each. Hope this helps someone in the area.

[Little Yoda]

rynobot, you wouldn't be talking about the small town of Roaring Spring located near Altoona\Hollidaysburg would you? If so, the only Target in that area is in Altoona, and I have a buddy who works there that might be able to score an Acklay for me!

[Dar' Argol]

Welcome Little Yoda!!!
I think we have ppl from Gettysburg, York, Pitt (is that right Sal??) Upper pa somewhere (Swafman??), parts of MD, and other places. Some of us do a bit of traveling so any info is welcome. Plus we talk about other stuff here too, just not new finds.:D

[rynobot]

I wasn't there so I don't know what town he was in , but I know he was in the Roaring Spring area.

Those empty pegs may be from me last week when I bought 44 figures and the returend about 25+ of them, maybe they didn't put them back on the pegs yet.


DA, I hope you don't miss any hard to find figures that are coming in, because I would love to get my hands on the newer deluxe and regular figures. Guess you can't find out what cases your store ordered.

[SWAFMAN]

hi little yoda. if you speak to your friend at the Altoona target regularly, do you think they'd be willing to alert you to when and if any of the Action fleet products (ships and/or battle packs) arrive?
I'm in state college (bellefonte, really) - about 40 miles from Altoona, and if Altoona get them then State College is likely to see them the same time.
If so, please post here, but also please feel free to PM or e-mail me. If not, no problem at all.
Thanks.

Nope, really can't tell. In our system, if I look up a specific UPC# it may say 275 on hand, or on order. But that figure is "cross-referanced" with all of Collection 1 or all of Collection 2. So there's no real way to see with fig is coming in. I wish there was though.

[rynobot]

To anyone who visits Gettysburg Walmart. I was just there today, and sill nothing new. I seriously doubt they will ever get anymore Saga figures. They have yet to recieve the Endor Soilder wave and it looks to me that the store has given up on SW all together. I remember Episode 1 figures didn't sit there this long, as I was able to find TC-14 and R2-B1, so this area is very depleted of any demand.

However, the Dooku lightsabers are almost sold out, they only have about 3 left. Figures of Mace, Jango FB, Luke, and Vader are clogging the pegs and all other of the normal pegwarmers. I did find another Padme with mole, which is odd because I thought I searched through all there figures two weeks ago and only found one, which I bought. There was also a Kit Fisto missing his lightsaber blade, which is another figure that I saw two weeks ago and bought. Maybe they have lots of cases still to put out and hopefully they have the new cases sitting back in the unknowns, but by then I'm sure even newer figures will be out and I'll have more figures to add to my want list.

[Big Chewie]

Dar' Argol glad to hear you are moving some figures out the door, that means you have to replace it with CHewies!Sorry to hear some are coming back in the door.

Hello rynobot
I was wondering if there were any good places to find figures around Gettysburg. I come up to the outlet stores every few weeks but I have only seen them and the battle field. Any recommendations?

By the way, Don't you know you are supposed to return those to a different store, one you dont shop at so the one you do shop at can get new stuff.Oh well theres still plenty of space for new ones.LOL

[A.J.]

Rynobot, Gettysburg did have the wave with the Endor Soldier, Orn Free Ta, etc. at the beginning of June. They must have sold through it the weekend of June 8th though 'cause they had that out the day I found the Nexu there. But, you're right. I wouldn't be surprised to see them skip the next several waves and let the first release stuff just stagnate. Hey, DarArgol--any deluxe Luke's left? I need a second one for my med ctr diorama... Oh, I was able to pick up one badly kicked around Acklay at the Columbia, MD Target yesterday. I'll keep my eyes peeled for any more.

[brentfett]

Hey Dar, is your Wal Mart putting Deluxe Luke and Maul on clearance? If so, how much are they? Thought I read that in an earlier post.

[rynobot]

Walmart is the biggest place in Gettysburg for figures. CVS which is right across the road sometimes has figures. Rite Aid sometimes has figures also, RiteAid is across from where the old Giant is. K+B Toys outlet only sells discounted products, and I haven't been there in months. Basesloaded has overpriced POTF figures, they aren't the stores so they can't give any deals on them, BL is on Steinwheir Ave near the Dobbin House Restaurant and across the street from Sheetz. These are the only stores in Gettysburg that I know sell SW toys.

I shop at 3 walmarts, Gettysburg, Chambursburg, and Hanover, I never thought of taking them to a different Wallmart I was just worried about my "molay".

[rynobot]

For people that still need the Utlimate Jango Fett. They have a couple at K-Mart in Hanover, this was on Friday last week.

[Dar' Argol]

Originally posted by brentfett

Yep brentfett, the "shirtless" Maul and "Huggies" Luke are on clearance for $7. I have to ask the Dept Mgr if that was something she did, or Home Office did. There is also a 12" Imperial Officer and 12" 4LOM for $10(last time I looked).

[Big Chewie]

Thanks for the info rynobot. Atleast now I can run around a little while my girl shops the outlets. I promise I won't take all the good stuff. I am pretty caught up on all the Saga figures & stuff, I just like looking at stores I haven't seen before for those odd ball items you find every so often.Let me know if theres anything I can look for down here for ya. I haven't had too hard of a time finding things, except that darn CHEWIE!

Good Luck with the Hunts!

Big C

[Big Chewie]

By The way rynobot
I was just kidding about the returns

[rynobot]

I'll be specific,
CVS- Naboo Obi-Wan, and Death Star Escape Han Solo (7.99 each)

Rite-Aid-FF Admiral Ackbar, and POTJ Luke in X-Wing Gear(7.99 each)

I think that is all for those two stores, if you need any of those and would rather pay more at retail then you would on Ebay+shipping then it is perfect for you.

[brentfett]

On the Deluxe figure Wal Mart clearance thing:

I went to mine and scanned one, still 10 bucks. May not be all Wal Marts.

[Dar' Argol]

Yeah, I asked the Toy Dept Mgr today if it was a HO thing or did she do it. She said that se had some extra clearance $ so she marked them down b/c they were not moving. She also took those 12" down to $7 as well:D And its the Death Star trooper(officer, whatever) not Imperial Officer.

[rynobot]

My six year old nephew finally found a Dooku. We were looking for SW toys and went to Equard(sp) drug store and they had three figures, and one was Dooku. He was so excited, and then he asked me why he had a green lightsaber, and I had no reasonable answer for him, I just told him it was Anakin's. He told me then he was just going to give it to who HD Anakin because he had lost his.


I was just at Hanover Walmart and see that there is more empty pegs then filled pegs. I sure hope you're getting more in, or I may have no choice other than E-Bay.

If anyone needs a Porkins figure they have them at Ames in Hanover, they cards are in dinged condition though.

[brentfett]

Saw a lone Acklay at the Shrewsbury Wal Mart tonight. Passed on it though, it just looks too big and unstable, like it would fall over a lot.

[Big Chewie]

I finally got Chewie today!
My brother sent him up from Texas. I know this doesn't help anyone but since I looked for him for so long I had to tell someone.

[PygmyAllosaurus]

Here's what the stores around here had/have today:

Chambersburg PA

Wal-Mart: nothing new, still has a bunch of the Bespin wave

KB Toys: just got the Bespin Wave in, all the Lukes are the bloody version :eek: I got 1, and there were still 2 or 3 left.

Hagerstown, MD

Target: 1 Nexu and 1 deluxe Anakin remaining, nothing else worth mentioning

KB Toys: nothing new

TRU: plenty of the Bespin Wave(peg version and magnet version), they also had a few Pilot Obi-Wans and Endor Raid Hans. I got one of each, but there were still at least 2 more of each there. They also suddenly got a ton of Eeth Koths and Zuttons for some reason.



I still haven't seen Palpatine, Djas Puhr, or Chewbacca yet though.

[rynobot]

Damn Chambursburg KB, now I know if I went as soon as I could to get a bloody luke they'd all be gone.

[brentfett]

Saw something kinda weird at the Shrewsbury Wal Mart tonight. At least a half dozen each of the tie bomber and snow speeder! This is just weird because I thought they were all gone, they certainly never got them in before there.

[underdog25]

I am back from serving my Country! I was in Mass. and didn't find one new thing! I did score a Ult. Soldier 3rd Special Forces guy but that isn't SW now is it? brentfett, would they still have the Tie bombers there and if so can you grab one for me? I had to try to catch up on the posts and will tell you I scored the POTJ Luke and Maul deluxe for $1.50 each. This was at the Junction City KS Wal-mart and my friend grabbed them for me. Walmart is good for different store to store clearance and MD stuff. I was at the Ellicot City WM today and nothing. My store has a ton of the deluxe Fett and still has the At-St's. Some new info for TRU exclusives, I have no info. on the 25th R2. There is a new 12" Leia in boushh and Han in Carbonite coming out for the X-mas season. I just read about it in the computer. TRU is sucking for distro of the AOTC figures. They won't ship new assortments till the old ones clear out. Anywhere but TRU is a good place to score new figures. BTW I still have the BoShek wave on layaway if anyone wants to buy for cost or trade. When are we going to all meet and where???

[BoShek]

The Tie Bombers and Snowspeeders are gathering dust at my Wal Mart . . . and they got more in! There's no room for them! They are piled ontop of the isle!

[underdog25]

Big thanks to Brentfett for grabbing me a Tie Bomber. If everyone that posts here is this nice I can't wait to meet everyone else. Nothing new here in MD. I am still trying to get word on the AOTC figure distro problem.

[Dar' Argol]

Still nothin new at my store:(

Hey underdog25, I got the parts for my car:D. A Clutch plate, pressure plate and throw out bearing all for $114.47!!!!! My buddy and I are going to be working on it Sat, so hopefully when the Dewback comes in we can meet up:D

[rynobot]

Hey DA, you still have the cart loads of Bacta Tank Lukes right?

[underdog25]

Dar-good luck on your car. When you are finished with it LMK so we can make plans to meet and complete the trade.

BrentFett-Would you believe that I had a run on the At-St's yesterday? I only have 2 left!!!!

[SWAFMAN]

Dar & U25, over on the MM forum we've got our collective panties in a bunch over the apparent lack of pilot figures in the first EP2 wave of Action Fleet ships (Mil Fal, X-Wing, (Vader's) TIE Advanced). One foruMMer posted that maybe the newer ships based on those seen in EP2 will have pilot figures (assuming we ever see any subsequent waves of EP2 Action Fleet).

If you happen to see them in-person or get any good descriptions via your store database of the EP2 Action fleet releases, and you see for sure that there are or aren't pilot/character figures packed with the vehicles, would you mind posting about it here or in the MM forum?

[rynobot]

I picked up the last bloody luke at Chambersburg K+B Toys. I also found a Clone Trooper with 5 dots and I bought that. What do you think that Clone Trooper could sell for, $500?

[underdog25]

Swafman,
Now that you mentioned it, I haven't seen any information in the TRU computers about MM or AF stuff? Kind of weird. I will have to look for it when I go back to work. It isn't in with the Action Figure stuff. All that I will be able to have for you is SKN's and prices. If I get any other info I will post it here for ya.

[Dar' Argol]

It would go for as much as someone is willing to pay. But $500??? Sounds a little steep. Although I do not support purchasing figures just to sell on eBay for a profit. Its hard enough to find some of the stuff withough having to waste $ on eBay:(

It should be done latest by Mon now:rolleyes:. The CV joints were a bugger to get off for some reason. We fought with those front axels for over an hour!! But we did get them off, and got the casing off and it turns out it was a combo between the pressure plate's fingers failing and the clutch plate was worn. The clutch had some life left in it, but when the pressure plate went . . . . . Oh well. Its good experiance for me:D

One foruMMer posted that maybe the newer ships based on those seen in EP2 will have pilot figures (assuming we ever see any subsequent waves of EP2 Action Fleet).

If you happen to see them in-person or get any good descriptions via your store database of the EP2 Action fleet releases, and you see for sure that there are or aren't pilot/character figures packed with the vehicles, would you mind posting about it here or in the MM forum?

I have seen nothing on MM or AF in our system. Not to mean we will not get them in, but there is nothing as of yet. I will double check on Mon. Are these being produced?? I was under the impression that MM and AF was done as far as SW is concerned. But I could be wrong.

[underdog25]

MM and AF made it into Ep2 stuff. Swafman could tell you more as to why Hasbro changed it's mind. I can't wait to see it. BTW there is a new Wal-Mart over by Arundal-Mills mall. It has been a goldmine for new stuff. My friend got the whole Han, Chewie and Obi-Pilot wave lastnight. Finally!

[brentfett]

Thanks a TON for hooking me up, underdog! After we met I stopped at the Target in Laurel right before 295 just for the heck of it, and found a bloody Luke!!!! Then, on the way home I stopped at another Toys R Us, this one in Reisterstown, and found Djas Puhr!!! They only had one, and the corner was ripped off, but I didn't care as I open most of my figures. So Friday was definitely a great day! Hope you like your Tie Bomber. Thank you Dar' Argol as well for helping in the connection!

[rynobot]

The $500 comment was just a joke, but if I was able to sell it for that much I'd be retarded no to, $500 would pay for all the Saga stuff I bought. I bought the clone trooper becauseI didn't have one with 5 dots.

I need a Bacta Luke. I guess I'll have to run down there and steal one when you're not looking;)

Hey no problem guys, least I could do:D

BTW brentfett, that guy at work does want the Dooku. I got the $ for it. As soon as my car is fixed we can arrange something:D

Sorry, I guess I just took the comment the wrong way:(

[rynobot]

HA! I'd be lucky to get what I paid for it on Ebay. The money maker is the one with no dots on the figure and the insert picture

Dar, here's (http://www.sirstevesguide.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=126448#post126448) the latest info the MM forum has posted on the EP2 Action Fleet stuff.

The first wave is just three repaints from the original trilogy, but apparently without any figures.
There are three battle packs, two of which appear to have at least one figure included (worthless ones, like a dewback rider), but the lack of pilot figures for the vehicles is extremely disappointing and seems to lend credibility to the arguments by several foruMMers that Hasbro has a death wish for the ex-Galoob line, and only bought the company so they could eliminate a competitor.

[rynobot]

K-Mart in Hanover has lowered their prices on figures to $4.00. I bought a Tusken Raider Female and it cost me $4.30.

[underdog25]

Here is what I think the stores should do. Either have a sale, buy 2 get 1 free deal or Lower prices for a whole week to say $1.99 on in-stock supplies. It would deplete the in store supplies and force distro centers to ship out new assortments. It is going to end up with most stores selling them cheap around Christmas anyway. Any thoughts Dar???

[rynobot]

If stores lowered to 1.99 I would buy as many as I could.

[BoShek]

ANYONE NEED DOOKU, HD ANAKIN or YODA?

The Big K in Berwick has:
About 20 Dookus
About 20 HD Anakins
About 15 Yodas
About 10 Maces
A lof of Clone Troopers

This is the first time I have ever seen Dooku, Yoda or HD Anakin in ANY store in my area!

[Big Chewie]

I'd buy alot of clonetroopers for $1.99 and maybe a few more jedi.

Sunday I was at the Owings Mill MD TRU. It had a couple of Djas and Hans(grey) along with tons of Obi-wan pilot, Qui-gon, Massif, Endor soldiers, Luke & Vader.
Didnt' see Chewie or Palpy though.
Has anyone found the Mace w/ red battle droid yet?

[rynobot]

I found Palpatine, Qui-Gon, and Endor Rebel Soilder at TRU in York tonight.

[Pokets1621]

Does anyone know of a good place to find new figures in the philadelphia area? There only places around is usually montgomeryville or willow grove, everywhere else usually has nothing new, juts tons on the old stuff.

[BoShek]

Pokets1621,

Hi! I have a friend near Willow Grove and I visit the area in the summer. Around Mother's Day we went to every toy store in the area and I found nothing new except Dooku and Yoda at one TRU. All I can tell you is that you have to hang in there and wait a little, like I do, because it seems that it takes forever for the figures to appear on the shelves.

[Pokets1621]

The Franklin Mills TRU has some of the han, chewie and obi wan pilot's available.

[Big Chewie]

Hello All
I have an extra Djas if anyone needs him
Also have Han w/ white droid caller and Obi-wan pilot(Obi's card is not mint)

Lmk if interested

Big C

[Dar' Argol]

Welcome to the loony bin Pokets1621. Hmmmm . . . . . . that's an odd name (of course mine is no better:rolleyes: ), any sigificants???

underdog25, I got the Dewback in the mail today for you. Now all we have to do is set up a place and time. PM me then, or catch me on AIM:D

[PygmyAllosaurus]

Has anyone found the Mace w/ red battle droid yet?

The Target in Hagerstown, MD had 2 of them last week. I don't know if they're still there or not though.

[Big Chewie]

Thanks PygmyAllosaurus
I might make a run over there this weekend
They may have more in by then.
I'll be checking my Targets around here too until then.

Thanks again
Big Chewie

[underdog25]

I emailed one of the people in charge of distribution/merch. for the Boys World at TRU. This is one of the people up in NJ. He told me that they are aware of the poor distribution of the new Ep2 figures and that he also knows that stores are lossing $ because of the problem. I suggested that they put 3 or 4 cases on each truck that comes from the distribution center. That way the stores don't get over run with product BUT get new product. He told me that it isn't that simple, let him do his job and worry about mine! It looks like TRU isn't going to be getting very many of the new waves to ANY store in the future. On the bright side, all the new waves ARE getting to the warehouse/distro centers. I can't tell you numbers but the local warehouse is so full of new figuers is would make you sick:-( It makes me sick to see that new figures are making it to the warehouse every week but nothing is coming out. Spend your time going to Walmart, Kmart, Target, etc.

[brentfett]

Pokets1621,
Where is Franklin Mills? Is it in PA?

[SWAFMAN]

U25, this was posted by one of our foruMMers in England. Any chance the same could be true for us here in the U.S. ??

"Just been chatting to a very nice man at TRU in Preston this morning. He told me that they SHOULD (not guaranteed) be getting a delivery of Action Fleet vehicles on Tuesday and will be on the shelf on Wednesday."

[brentfett]

Hey Dar' Argol, is your car fixed yet? I stil have that Dooku if your buddy still wants one and I have a MOMC Obi pilot for you if you want it. If not, that's no problem, I have a few other friends that will take him! Let me know.

[brentfett]

By the way, my buddy who snagged the Obi Pilot saw a ton of them at the Toys R Us in Towson as well as ONE totally mint Chewie!!!! So they are coming, I guess we just have to be patient!

[Dar' Argol]

Just wanted to let everyone know who is down here close to me, or wants to drive, that the Hanover Wal-Mart just got in the Unleashed line last night!! I picked up the Maul as an early birthday present to myself:D. Its actually pretty cool. The only other one they had was Jango. And the price on them is $14.97.

Yeah, I got my car fixed on Sat/Sun. Had to replace the clutch and the pressure plate. Did it myself and probably saved me about $400 or more:D. And yes brentfett, he still does want it ans I have his $ for it. I would love that Obi, but I'm kinda short on cash right now. Give me a bit to get some $ together. underdog25 still has 2 figs for me that I have to get some $ for. I'll let you know then:)

[brentfett]

Hey Dar.
That's no problem. I'll hold onto him for ya. If you decide you don't want him or if you spot him at your Wal Mart (which will probably be the case) just let me know.

[underdog25]

Swafman: I am not sure if New England gets there stuff before or after us? I know we are one of the last Regions to get things. Everything comes from the West Coast East. I forgot all about checking on the MM and AF for you. I can tell you we got both of our trucks this week and there was no MM or AF stuff on it. Once we get it, I will post or Email you. If you need me to grab any of it for you LMK and I will do so.
Dar: We have had the Unleashed figures for over a month now.
All: The new Walmart in Arundal Mills had the Deluxe Anakin's and cat thing. Lots of them too. Sorry, don't know the spelling for the cat guy.

[SWAFMAN]

U25, thanks much! Oh, and that post I copied was from a forum member in old England, not New England. ;)

JarJar put it to me best one time. He asked "Dar', is your store the red headed step-child of Wal-Mart?!?":D. I'm just happy we got something!! Maybe then we will see some of the new wave:rolleyes:

BTW underdog25, the cat's name is the Nexu:D


SWAFMAN, is the MM and AF still made by Galoob??? The last time I say something like that it was. Anyway, I did do a check in our system and I could not find anything. Hmmmm . . . . . . . underdog25, if you found some of the UPC # for this stuff, can you send it my way and I can check that way.

[BoShek]

I finally got Plalpy and Djas and Han Endor! They were at the Benner Pike Wal Mart in State College. I took a trip back to move out some things and I finally found them.

Is it me or does all of Mr. Palp have different types of dots on his face? I picked out one that wasn't so noticable. After all, how old can he be?

[PygmyAllosaurus]

I haven't seen the new deluxes or Unleashed figures at Wal-Mart at all yet(I've seen them at other places though). Not that I'm surprised, the Chambersburg Wal-Mart never seems to get much of anything, and if they do they're almost always a few weeks late. The Hagerstown one isn't quite as bad, but they seem to have problems getting things on time as well at times.

I still haven't seen Palpatine or Djas yet(or CC Chewie either), maybe this week....

[brentfett]

Hey Dar,

So do all Wal Marts have layaway? I know the basic concept of it, but I don't know how much you have to pay to do it, how long they hold it, etc. etc.
Any help?

[SWAFMAN]

Dar, Action Fleet is now a Hasbro product. Hasbro bought Galoob around the time EP1 products were being developed. So far, MicroMachines are a dead product line under Hasbro's ownership.

With the latest changes in Action Fleet, taking away the figures and action features (helloooo!!! it's supposed to be ACTION fleet!!!), it seems like the AF line is destined to soon join MMs as a dead line.

[brentfett]

Hey everybody! Check this out!

Hey everyone!!!

Hanover WM just got in 5 new Case Assortments last night!! The case #'s and qty's are here. (http://www.sirstevesguide.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8703) But they were the Chewie, Djas, Obi Pilot, and Plaply. I put them all on layaway except Chewie. I had $ for him. Man is he BIG!! I like it:D. We also got in the new Deluxe wave of Anakin and the Nexu, but there was no more cases to get the Asst # :(. Oh well:rolleyes:.

Yes ALL WM's have Layaway. You have 60 days to pay it off in full and you only need 10% down. You don't even have to really make any payments on it, just as long as you pay in full by the due date:D For example, my total (with my discount and tax) for the 6 figs I put on layaway today was $27.31, they only wanted $2.73 for the down payment. But I paid $3.31 b/c I hate having the change left over. So now I only owe $24 and it has to be picked up by 9/10/02!! Happy birthday to me:D:D:D:D:D

OkSWAFMAN, got it now:) Since I never really collect any MM or AF, (I collect too much already:rolleyes: ) I wasn't sure. I didn't see anything for AF in the system, but I will check again on Mon. IF there is any chance you can get UPC #'s it would make it easier:D

[jedi master sal]

The action fleet is on it's way. Starting with Dooku's solar sail and another N1 fighter with "new" damaged paint job. The AT-TE is on the way as well.

Djas Puhr and Chancellor Palpatine are easy to find here in the 'burg. anyone need one (that can meet, I don't do things by mail).

I need a Chewie bespin escape and I'm all caught up.

BTW, sorry again for being gone for awhile. It's the busy season at work so my time for the website has been greatly reduced.

For those in the South-Western portion of the state: I belong to an up and coming local fan club. If interested on seeing what we're about and what we do check out: www.thenewrepublic.net

I have become more involved with this in the last month. mostly because it is real interaction with other SW fans and we do REAL things.

We have monthly meetings and the membership is growing (free BTW)
This month we are forming a Jedi Council. Each member of the council is responsible for reporting on his/her/its specific area. I have been elected "Toy and Collectibles" counsel member. (I use the same name there as well so it should be easy to find me) I run a weekly report on new toys, where they have been spotted and how much, plus give a review of them as well.

Okay now back to this thread.

I hope to get the chance to meet some of you someday as it is always nice to put a face to a name.

[Jonna]

Hello, PAers. I am going on a drive from Phillipsburg, NJ/Easton, PA to Allentown, PA tomorrow and I was going to seach the stores on the way there. Can anyone inform me as to the location of any K-marts, Wal-marts and Targets along Rt. 22. I'll post what I find. Thanks in advance.

Dar,
So who is left at the Hanover Wal Mart of the latest wave you got in? I'm still looking for another Dejas, at least 1 Chewie, and Palpy. Let me know if it's worth the trip.

It is worth the trip!! We got in like 10 cases of each of the new Assortments:D. If you can find them on the shelf, PM me and we can meet out there and I can get them for you:D

[Jassi]

Hi all, new the to these boards but I'm from Altoona and this is probably the best collective of PA collectors I've seen. Anywho, my wife drags me to Wal-Mart last night and lo they were finally restocking! I got Djas Puhr, Starfighter Obi, Chewie, and Palpatine! They also had some unleashed, as well as Qui-Gonn, Endor Soldier, Bespin Vader and Luke. Stupid me forgot to check for bloody stump (I really hate that Luke) and I went back today, and no bloody... they had been rifled through but still had some good stuff left. Now I'm gonna wait till 21-22 when K-Mart is having there $3.49 sale to pick up some of the less rare ones that I still need.

[rynobot]

I picked up as many figures as I could at Hanover Walmart! Thanks Dar, after seeing your post I jumped in my speeder and flyed to your Walmart as fast as I could, by then flyed home just as fast. By the time I got home my engine was over heated and smoke was fumming out of my Hyper space motivator.

[underdog25]

Swafman: The AF stuff is in the computer at work. It is under AC EP2 Action Fleet. I forgot to write down the SKN but it is there. Also the warehouse has 0 on hand but an open order for them. I will check the west coast and see if they have any yet.

All: Langley Park TRU has the Chewie wave. One of my friends picked him up for me. VERY big Dar and COOL!

[SWAFMAN]

Thanks, W!!!!

Welcome to the looney bin Jassi!!:D. We try to be the best . . . . . well, try:D. We just try to help each othre and pick a few things up here and there for each other:D. We've even got inside info, as I'm sure you've read. So welcome, pull up a council seat, and join the party:D :D :D

[rynobot]

How big do you think my arms are DA? I only spent about $50. I had to pick a couple up for my nephew too. I really hate having to answer all your allegations every time I buy something new from your store.

[brentfett]

Hey all. Well, I scored big at the Shrewsbury Wal Mart Friday night. Got Chewie, Palpy and a Djas for my friend. Now I get a whole month of rest from looking for figures before Teemto and the new Anakin come out.:rolleyes: Went to York today and the Target there had a few Palps and Djas as well. Man, Puhr is tough to find a good paint job!

Welcome to the boards, Jassi!

Hey Dar, did you hear anything about a figure sale coming up at Wal Mart? Sounds good to me!:D

[Big Chewie]

Hey Dar
I stopped by your store tonight hoping for a another Chewie. None left. All I saw were 2 Obi-wan pilots, 1 Han and a bunch of Endor soldiers.Also Bespin wave & Orn Free Taa. Are there any in back still? Let me know when you think yall might put some out. I'd like to get 1 to keep carded since he's my favorite character.

Thanks,
Big Chewie

Also the WM at west Manchester mall there in York ( I think thats the malls name, right by TRU )had at least 5 of each of Djas & Palpy just on front rows alone. Also had some POTJ figs. Jar Jar, Bespin guard, Tessek, Ketwol, & Lando.

[rynobot]

Wow, after I left there were still bunches left at Hanover WM and that was around 6pm Friday.

They restock the shelves as they empty. If you cannot find one LMK and I'll pick you one up and we can meet up then:D

[BoShek]

I am up to date! Stores are starting to get up to date. I got the Puhr and Chewbacca waves! Finally. Now on to Teemto.

[rynobot]

hopefully the stores will be quicker for Julys release.

[Dar' Argol]

Anyone who needs them, we restocked the shelves this morning. Put out about 6 cases of the Chewie/Palpy wave:D

[Big Chewie]

Thanks for the offer Dar' Argol of the chewie, but I found 1 tonight over at the Wal-Mart in Hagerstown. They must have gotten a shipment like yours in because there were plenty to choose from.

Thanks again though
Big Chewie

[PygmyAllosaurus]

About how much stuff does the Hagerstown Wal-Mart have? It's just a quick fifteen-twenty minute drive from here, but I won't be able to get anything there anyway until I get paid on Wednesday. Was there enough there that they'll still have stuff left?(I'm still missing Djas, Palpatine, and Chewie).

I'm probably worrying for nothing, I bet the Chambersburg Wal-Mart probably got a bunch of new stuff in as well. In any case, it's good to see this stuff is finding making it's way to the shelves around here.

[Big Chewie]

Hello PygmyAllosaurus

They had at least 10 to 15 Palpy, Djas & Chewies, Probably more and I didnt even check the pegs or go thru them all. There was a shelf under the pegs that had them all on it, so I just got my Chewie and left the rest.
The Chewies will probably go faster than Palpy & Djas since alot of people had allready found those 2.
I would definitely check Chambersburg first. No point in driving if you dont have to.
I got home from Hagerstown only to read that they were in Germantown 5-10 minutes away from home at the same store I checked last night and had nothing.

The Chambersburg WM should be getting them in soon if not allready in the back.
I wouldnt worry about it.

It was weird seeing so many of the new figs at 1 time not used to that at all. 1 or 2 maybe 3 but never 10 of each HTF figs.

Good luck
Big Chewie

[brentfett]

This seems to be the way Wal Mart gets their figures in: in giant mass lump shipments. If you recall, the Bespin wave was like that a little while back. It's kind of strange, but it does make you feel like you're at least somewhat "guaranteed" to get something if you wait a bit. What I can't believe is how people are already finding the Teemto wave at their Wal Marts! BTW Dar a new Wal Mart is opening up somewhere down here in MD tomorrow morning and my friend is gonna be there when the doors open. We wanna see what the virgin stock will be!

[Big Chewie]

I would like to go to that store opening but its on the East side of Baltimore at 7:30 am.
I don't think sitting in morning traffic would be too much fun. The last few WM's to open here in MD a few weeks back were about the first to have Chewies and the Acklay around here, so I'm sure these will probably have tons of them and maybe even Teemto and Ki-Ad-Mundi.
Gotta love virgin stock!

[PygmyAllosaurus]

Well, I'll be back tomorrow with store reports. I am checking Chambersburg first, but I'm going to Hagerstown anyway(I go there just about every wednesday, just to see what new stuff TRU has gotten, since I collect a lot of different figures).

And yes, this does fit the pattern for Wal-Mart, just like the Bespin wave which hit all at once, a month or so after the first reports. Hopefully it won't be another month before the next waves hits though.

[darth_steeler]

First off, I'm new to the forum so, nice to meet ya!

Secondly, nothing of interest to report in Robinston Towne Center (Pitts) as of 7/16. Lots of Endor soldiers and Orn Fre Taa. Han is at WM, but no Palpy or Djas.

Target and KB at the Waterfront are also bare.

I'd like to hear from any other Pitt collectors out there. Where are you scoring?

[Dar' Argol]

Welcome darth_steeler!!!:D

Hmm . . . a Steelers fan huh? Don't worry, we won't hold it against you:D j/k

It does seem that WM gets a bulk shipment of figs in and pukes them all over the toy aisle:rolleyes:. I'm just glad that there is time for my wallet to recover between figure buying:D

Just a humorus note here, I was waiting to do something on our hand held units and I decided to scan some of the SW stuff to see what is coming in. I ended up scanning the 12" collection and there was 5 on the shelf. Well, our "On Hand Count" said that we had 101!!!!:eek: I don't know where they are keepin them but they've hid them from me!!!:D

[brentfett]

Hey all. Well, my buddy hit that new Wal Mart literally when it opened it's doors for the first time. He scored me a Teemto! I love this guy already and I haven't even opened him yet! It's killing me sitting here at work looking at him and not being able to bust him free! I do get the feeling Mr. Pagalies won't be too hard to find in a week or two though. We'll just wait until Wal Mart "pukes" again, as Dar'Argol puts it!:D

[Big Chewie]

I knew I should have gone!
Come on Wal-Mart Puke!Puke!Puke!

[SWAFMAN]

I forgot to post this on Sunday, but my local big lots has a good assortment of McFarlane figures for about $6. The ones I thought may be of interest were the Evil Ash figure, and the T2 arnold figure. They had several other different ones, too.

KayBee has a lot of the Quake II figures for about $4 each, and their SW EP2 figures are under $5 now. They had a fairly small assortment. They also had a scantily-clad Leia with sail barge gun. Yum!

This is in State College.

Hey SWAFMAN, they didn't perchance have any of the Tortured Souls Series 1 did they? I wanted to pick these up but missed them:(

Wal-Mart: finally put more on the shelves, they had the Nexu, deluxe Anakin, both Jango and Maul Unleashed, lots and lots of the Orn wave, a few Djas's and Palpatines, and plenty of the Chewbacca wave. None of that stuff was there last week.

KB: nothing new, still lots of the Bespin Wave, with the exception of Luke

Hagerstown:
Wal-Mart: a ton of figures that weren't there last week, very similar to the Chambersburg Wal-Mart. This one seems to have more of Djas and Palpatine, and less of Chewbacca though, but they were all there. Also, strangely, this Wal-Mart didn't have the newer deluxe figures(Nexu/Anakin) or the Unleashed figures.

TRU: A few Endor Hans, JSP Obi Wan, and Chewbacca.

KB: got more of the Bespin wave in, and again they have bloody Lukes. There was only 1 left, and I didn't buy it, so if anyone's still looking for one, he's there.

Finally after almost a week I have my computer back! What a relief. I was at the Hagerstown WM on Monday and they had EVery single Ep2 figure to date on the shelf. Lots of Chewies and Palps. I was also up at the Chambersburg Mall KBs and they still had a few sets of the Lego Mos Espa Podrace Area set. This is the one that was around $90 and it is now $40. Hard to find that cheap. I got one. Thanks again to Swafman. You really helped me out.

At least 6 of each! I got mine! :)

Hanover WM has them too!! We got in 6 cases of the asstorment with Ki-Adi-Mundi and Teemto Pagalies:D. I only got 1 of each though. Its funny, a lot of ppl really liked Ki-Adi cause he was the only member of the council that was still a Jedi Knight, but now he's a Jedi Master:D

Welcome back underdog25. Glad to see everything is ok!! I'll see you tonight then:D

Well went to Hanover WM at 8:45 and they had 1 Mundi left and that was it. The card was creased really bad, but I bought it for my nephew.

Gettysburg WM has everything warming pegs except for the July releases.

The Wal*Mart in West Mifflin by Century III mall has both of these guys.

The "spider" droid that comes with Teemto is cool and can actuallt hold the pod race engine that also comes with Teemto.

Ki-Adi doesn't look any different than the EPI fig except that he is a little dirtier.

I want to thank underdog25:D Yesterday we met up to complete a trade. I love that Biker Scout and speeder!! It is sooo much better out of the box!! And thanx for helping me find that 12" Arrua too!! Although my wife doesn't thank you:D.

DA, where's the figs?

[Pokets1621]

Anyone who lives in montgomery or bucks county can go to any wal mart in the area (montgomeryville or horsham) and get any of the new figures. there are tons of them out there, but only a few of mundi and teemto left. good luck.

I went in the morning and there was none of the 2 new ones left. But there still is about 4-6 cases in the back. The problem is that they will not put them out until the shelf needs filled:rolleyes:.
