Great finds Clint. I havent seen most of the Vintage figures near me... lots of clones and Obi and Ani figs and a few Bespin Lukes and Hoth Hans. They all look great, but I think they will be around for a while. I am not a big  foil hunter, so no big deal for me.
I passed on the swamp speeder.... this time. My sons birthday and Christmas are both coming up real soon.
I noticed Walmart.com has the Millenium Falcon and AT-AT both available only online at sales prices.. and I am stuck on the fence.... I want both real bad, but not sure I want the trouble it will cause with my wife right now. I missed the Falcon last time waiting for a sale that sold out nearly overnight.
And the Christmas Catalog from Target has a $20 off coupon for the AT-AT which can be used in store or online.... but only instore with the Ship clonecash for an additional $5 off. $74+ tax is not bad for this beauty
We did pick up a pair of figures at a local walmart.... the new CW Grievous(contained another piece of clonecash good for a $20+ ship purchase and the new CW SA Mace Windu with Jango helmet bomb( no clone cash here).
I did check other figure packaging and saw a few more pieces, but am not buying more Dooku or other figures i dont want just for the clonecash this time.
I wish they had it for figure purchases... if they do I havent found any... just ships and lightsabers. But the $5 off a $15 lightsaber is a fair deal too.

Is the Swamp Speeder a store exclusive?  I want one!!  I have an idea that uses the Senate Commandos figures, too, that would be really fast and funny, if I happen to get close to a Target to pick them up.  (read: they are a low priority at this time)

I dont think it is an exclusive, Doc. I saw it in a target and WM just yesterday. Almost identical prices too.

I only ever saw 1 flame clone and I picked him up, naturally.
I think I got another pair coming in the mail this week bought off ebay too.
Has anyone made a softgoods winter ops Rex? I swear I have seen one somewhere.
That may be the plan for one of these guys...
Does painting the brown Kama sound discouraging to anyone else as well?
And gluing on holsters may be harder than I initially thought...
Maybe I should just let someone else do this one first and steal their technique.

Today I received that pair of Flametroopers and the both the red and blue phase 1.5ARC troopers from the new ARC troopers BP.
These are pretty nice, but I kind of expected better. The helmets and Kama and parts of the new sculpt are really nice, but some other parts are not.
I guess I will need multiples for comparison.

I don't know if I mentioned it or not, but lately I found both silver foil versions of Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker and Emperor Palpatine, minty fresh.  I also got my Gentle Giant Slave Leia mini-bust as well.  I've got the photos taken, I just need to put the guide together!

Nice score! I was able to pick up Admiral Ackbar and a Gamorian Guard at Target yesterday. Now I just need 11 more Gamorians!

You want a DOZEN Gammoreans???  What on Earth do you have in mind???  Does anyone know if the Admiral Ackbar will come with a silver foil card or not?  I haven't found any information regarding this, but that is one I'll pick up for sure, and would love it in a foil card.

The head from one will be used to make "Piggy" a pilot in X-Wing Rogue Squadron. Another will be a fan fiction gladiator type custom I have had in my head for years and didn't want to do it with the old POTF figure. Then you need about 9 or 10 wandering around Jabba's palace.  ;)

I thought Hasbro mentioned on an another site's Q&A that foil cards were limited to the previous wave.  Can anyone second that information?  If that's the case, Ackbar will not be on a foil card.
