Man the MH line is clogging up peg space here too...the line is pure garbage.   Hasbro really missed the boat that's for sure.  Some collectors here are screaming out for new figures.  The Malgus wave has been and gone and the Evazan wave is popping up here and there and apparently there's alot of Malgus and Evazan cases sitting in the Hasbro warehouse and for some reason they're not getting to retail and my thinking on this is because retailers don't want new stock until all garbage they have got sells...huh...good luck with that i say.

The CW line here has stalled and although i don't collect that line i have found new waves in supermarkets but not in major department stores.

Hasbro are useless....blind monkeys on crack could do a far better job i think.

Yeah they blame us because they don't like what they see when they look into the mirror.   I grabbed Kithaba and Evazan from a fellow collector here in Australia.  There's only 3 other up and coming figures that i'm interested in and that's it.

You are quite welcome Mr. Skepsis. Rest assured any new figures I see folks I will be picking up and offering up here at my cost to the Yarders. Thats what I did with the entire Evazan Wave I saw at Wal-Mart.

Spry, no problem. I listened to SW Action News and a rant about how don't expect figures to show up momc from Amazon so I have it in me that they will be buggered up. I have a good Hoth Luke (two actually) so if I don't get the TOR Figures I can live with it and about the only other thing I want is that Carbon Freezing Chamber and whatever chase cards they make for the Bespin Leia. I might need some help there folks.

Is that the "cut down" Y-Wing "scout" vehicle?  I haven't seen those anywhere other than online... :(

Of all things - was at a WalMart last night that I never get a chance to visit.  Nothing new on the pegs - lots of Quinlan Vos's an 3D wave figs - but there was something OLD.  I found a BAD Commander Baccara for $4.50!

Yesterday I got a Clonetrooper with the Republic Assault Submarine, Its the first starwars item I bought in 2 or 3 months, Didn't see any thing else new other than it and the Attack Recon Fighter but I am really glad they didn't have anything new because the rest of my money was spent on it lol. But hopefully I can find all of the vintage figures and the clonewars figures after I make some more money.

Got some stuff....Got a case of s tar wars figs from my mom for fathers day. Wave with Secura, Nom, Hoth Luke and etc. Also found some new ships, the drop cruiser with anakin and the sub with clone trooper. Does anyone want or need the sub and trooper set...I haven't opened it yet and I'M not all that fond of it.

Wife made me a stitched boba feet doll for fathers day. It rocks, have to get pics up of it soon.

And again still not seeing anything in my area ( sc ). It will be a year before I see that new commander fox that I saw on the front page. If I see it at all, along with alot of other figs.

Well, not sure if it's really a new purchase, but my Sideshow 12" Commander Bacara has been charged and getting ready to ship.  I also recently preordered the Hot Toys Masterpiece Black Widow from The Avengers.  She was gorgeous, I couldn't pass her up!
