I managed to find both correctly packaged video game figure sets today. Look at the whopper of a price that tru put on these. At these prices, tunghori's prices seem quite respectable even with his shipping price tacked on.

I also cornered a stockman and had him open a case of the vehicle two packs that contained 1 rebel transport pack to three genosian drone/speeder packs. Hasbro sure isnt worried about getting that one out there.  I also found a tvc bespin han, a rebel fleet trooper, and a bom vimdin at a target.

I guess that I'm done hunting until the new taun taun comes out.

there seems no real point in looking for a colt or the riot control clone anymore. they are not going to be found.

Wow Clint, lucky devil. You always seem to be in the right place at the right time. Wow, those toysrus prices make me glad they aren't TESB items. I can see you dropped some coin there yesterday.

110clones it looks factory sealed to me, the quality control folks must not have caught it. I haven't heard of any more of these so you might have just doubled your purchase price. It is a bit beat up on the corners it seems, but it is looking to me like a legitamite error and not just a swap out.

It makes me glad to hear that the Fordo is actually starting to be found. Cmon Hasbro, make me eat my words about finding new items in the stores!

Awesome score Clint! I managed to find a second Fordo. I just need to get a Rebel Fleet Trooper or two.

Ya know, I was GOING to go to TRU today to try and find those, and then I stopped and asked myself, "Why?"  I like the female Sith and Starkiller figures, but I have lost most, if not all, desire to collect Hasbro Star Wars.  I have the Delta Squad, so do I need another, albeit more articulated set?  At $40 per set, I can honestly say, I do not. 

I did, however, receive yesterday, the 2011 Wave 3 Marvel Universe figures, featuring Skaar, Dr. Strange, Dr. Doom, Falcon, and Scarlet Spider.  Review to come on them shortly.  I also received tracking numbers on my SDCC McQuarrie Snowtrooper and EE Exclusive ROTS Obi-Wan Kenobi mini-busts.  Been quite an expensive week for me!

Picked up a Republic Scout Speeder and a Separatist Droid Speeder at a semi-local WalMart Friday.  They had one each of the four deluxe figs and I *almost* got the Camas w/ speederbike pack, but set him down as I'd found a new sci-fi paperback I wanted.  Got home and discovered B would have liked me to get the Grevious wheel-bike.  Guess I shoulda called him.   :P  But they didn't have any new figures.

Clint, I lucked out and my son found me a Riot Control trooper 2 weeks ago, so hang in there.  (I wanted him for his shield and riot baton)

Wow, Pat you dropped some coin too. Lots of nice busts  though.

Doc, I always do that. Glad I am not the only one.

You'll have to let me know if that Fordo meets your standards or not.  I think it's pretty clean, and hope it arrived just as I sent it.
