Sweet deal Clint, time to hit Targets. Time to get word on the fp too.
Tamer..... it's Tom not Clint. It's ok buddy.

Wow, don't know where I was that morning Tom. Sorry, I did go back and fix it. Must have been one of those days.

Great spacetrooper find. I haven't seen one of those on the pegs either. I am having a mad at Hasbro day.

I got lucky today!!! I found some TVC figs. I got Bom Vimdin, Bespin Han, Fordo, and Logray. They had the Rebel Trooper too but I couldn't buy more than 4 figs. This was at Target by the way which has been bone dry for the past 2 or 3 months.

Wow, good luck you have!!  Perhaps I should take a trip to my local Target.  (if you accept local being an hour away...)

Uh, wait... that's $20 in gas, give or take... shipping would be infinitely cheaper.  Dang.

HeyClonesniper, if you happen to be at the Target again, would you mind picking me up 2x RFT, 2xFordo and 2x Bespin Han?
I'll paypal you the funds.

Wow, a Fordo on the pegs! Thats great.

I actually traveled to target and was able to find the new Bounty Hunter 3 Pack. The Imperial Set with the Driver was missing, but they did have the droid set which I passed on.

I kept looking online, but no luck there for those three packs.

I managed to pick up a nice set of new figures at the Toys R Us in Times Square in New York City.   This is really the only store you can get *anything* besides Sandtroopers, Stormtroopers, yellow clones, and the occasional Rebel Commando at for a 20+ mile radius. 

I'm hoping this holds true for when I head up to NYC in early/mid-August...

I'll keep my eyes open, but I think there are a lot of scalpers and collectors in my area who clean everything out pretty fast.

Hey folks it might be time to head out to target. My wife is in PA today at a Target and she picked me up one of the blu ray dvd release 4 packs. Ofcourse it was the Episode 5 one. She also said they had the new helmets, TCW dlx packs, among other things. She didn't find the new taun taun packs yet, but it seems target is hot right now. I will post some pics when she gets home.

After a few months away ... on the dark continent... i got a bit of vacation and finally some shopping.
I had mail waiting... the free mail away items from saving receipts over a certain dollar ammount... 2 AT-RT with ARF Trooper Boil and 3 Armored Scout Tank with Tactical Droid.
I am not a big Vintage Collection collector, but i have bought myself a few. ESB Boba Fett, AOTC Jango Fett, AOTS AT-RT Driver, and 2 ARC Trooper Commander (Fordo). I also ordered a few more...like R5-D4, Fi Ek Sirch, and the Weequay.
I also bought the Boba Fett helmet finally. but still no blaster.
I bought 2 SL Spacetrooper figs.
I went Clone Wars crazy as my son likes to say, and bought any new stuff that looked nice. i bought 2 Commander Locke, Eeth Koth, 2 Hevy in Training Armor, R7-A7, new Kit Fisto with 2 lightsabers, new outfit Anikin. I also picked up 2 ARF Trooper Waxer with Battle Droid and 2 Special Operations Clone Trooper with Geonosian Drone Target exclusive 2-packs. I also picked up a few CW vehicle figure sets ... speederbike with Castas and the Republic Scout Speeder with ARF Trooper. i really want a few more of the rep scout speeder sets. it is awesome.
I also bought the TRU Exclusive Battle over Endor figures set 1, and had to order set 2 online. And I preordered 2 of the TRU Exclusive Commander Blackout figs.
I also picked up the Shadow V-19 Lego set.
I missed the chance to order the SDCC Exclusive stuff... same problems every time I decide to go ahead and order... overwhelmed network and i get nothing.
And my wife would kill me if I ordered too much more.
Plus i picked up some reading ... Choices of One, Legacy volumes 9 and 10,  and Blood Ties -story of Jango and Boba.
plus more book pre-orders.
but it sure felt good to finally make a few purchases.

Well here is a pic of the TESB Blu Ray DVD release. I like it. It is better than any of the other movie release sets imo.





It sounds to me like they had out the remote control republic tank, the new helmet sets like grievous, and a few other things too. The one day I can't go on a longer trip my wife finds me some goodies. Maybe I need to let her go hunting all the time.

I have been lurking... not much time to post.
It looks like everyone here has been seriously busy.
Nice to know there is always a quick SW fix just around the corner, no matter where you may find yourself.

DRS, it is good to see you back. That was some SW haul you made. I bet that took up some table top space!
