Well stopped by target today, not much going on there. They did have a beaten up rancor on the shelf, but other then that just the usual pegwarmers.
-
well at least I bet it was nice to see something new, eve if it was beat up! 8)
-
Yea, sort of. I'm just not looking forward to July 26th. It is going to be like a mini ROTS release, its going to be painfull!

yepper I am trying to save my pennies too! Its gonna be one of those months I dont want to summarize my SW bill!
-
Well Walmart this morning was pretty much the same, not much going on there. Which is nice since the pegs won't be full of old stuff come July 26th.

thats a good point. I gotta hope my stores do individual displays or endcaps as my pegs are full of junk right now!

Found a Mygeeto BP today at Target. Other then that not much going on up here.

What did you think of that black super battle droid?
-
I liked the color scheme to it. It makes it more appealing to me then the standard bluish grey one.
-
I wish that battle pack had a least one more newer paint scheme figure in it? Was the black super battle droid the only new figure in this? Oh well, guess these questions are better asked in the other hasbro threads based on line. Sorry I am taking your finds thread to ask my hasbro questions Chad. Glad you were able to find something new.
-
No problem Tamer, the tri droid is also painted similar to the super battle droid.

you are almost making me want to get this. It doesnt sound too bad.
-
Been hitting walmarts pretty hard the last few days looking for the build a droid sets with no luck. It has been pretty barren up here for a long time.
-
Target had the rancor marked down to $27.98 with 12 of them in this store, would expect them to be marked down to 75% before they are gone. Order 66's down to $6.98 with around 12 of them left. Walmart is as barren as the dune sea. Have yet to see any of the build a droid sets around this area. Hopefully will start seeing some activity around here soon.
-
Well the dry spell is over for now, found all 6 of the build a droid packs and the 3 new comic packs. Walmart had 3 displays of the comic packs and about 6 displays of the droid factory packs. They also had a tone of various TAC figures, not good in my opinion.
-
Stopped by the Target in Elk River after work to see if they had any clearence stuff, but they had nothing.
-
figured your stores would hit by now.
-
Stopped by a target and walmart the other day. Walmart still had lots of droid factory sets and the new comic packs. Still no sign of any cw or legacy stuff yet. Target still has lots of rancors over a dozen, but still only 30% off. They have now marked all of there tac and legends down to $4.64, so it seems like target is getting ready for the new lines.
-
that is good news. Sounds like things are happening.
-
Stopped by the Elk River Walmart and Target today after work. No life of any CW/Legacy stuff at either. Target has basic figures marked down to $4.64. Walmart has much of nothing.
-
Went on a run today after work and Target put out some GH figures with the CW cards. Also saw the GH xwing and jabba set. Still have the rancors and 66's at 30%. Walmart nothing new on that front.
-
go get em Chad. It is getting closer.
-
Stopped by target and walmart last night. Still no sign of any of the new stuff leaking out. Target has there basic figures marked down to $3.32, but the rancor and 66's still only 30% off.
-
My stores have a ton of legends on the pegs and I bet they try to get full price out of em and then I will have to deal with em clogging the pegs preventing new waves from coming out. At least your pegs should clear with prices like that.
-
Stopped by 2 targets today. First store has cleared out about 5 feet of space for the new stuff with a sign that syas, available July 26th. There prices are going to be $7.99 for basic figures and $12.99 for comic packs. They had a few tac figures left. Ran the DCPI's and they got legacy, CW, and evoultions in the back, but not there exclusive commander fox, which is going to be $12.99(what a rip Target!) The second target not much going on there, but they did have the fox figure in the back. Did free them up of 3 more gen mcquarries.
-
Wow, I sure hope wally world doenst raise their basic figure price. Do you realize we are paying deluxe figure prices for basic figs now? Looks like I won't be buying much at target other than store exclusives.
-
Ok, here is a run down of the stores I hit starting from 1201 this morning.
1201 am TRU in Blaine, picked up the b-wing and no grievous(that issue was mentioned aleardy, no point bringing it up again.

Tomorrow hitting TRU again for another try.
-
Made a few stops today after work, not looking for any SW stuff, but di check anyways.
Walmart in Elk River, finally put out all new displays.
Target Elk River, pretty much all of what they had to offer on Sat.
Target in Monticello, pretty much the same.
Walmart in Monticello, not much of nothing, just basic figs on the pegs. Don't know if they are getting the displays or just haven't put them out yet.
-
Made a quick run into Walmart this afternoon before a dr appt for my oldest and scored 2 of the CW speeder bike bp's. Thanks Clint for the heads up on these, just assumed they were repcaks of the last bp.
-
Stopped at Target today and they put out some of the bp's, saw the cw speeder bike patrol and hoth recon patrol.
-
Chad you are swimming in the new goodies.
-
Stopped by a number of targets today, mainly looking for closeouts toys. Did find the new rebel pilot legacy evoultion pack. Also at the science museum they had alot of CW toys, they did have the other rebel pilot set and imperial pilot set, but at $30, I passed.
-
We will find those other two sets at prices that are better than that.
-
Hit a target yesterday with not much going on there. Walmart on the other hand finally put out some stuff. They had the bmf and atte display and an endcap full of figs.
-
Sounds promising. What shape were those ships in with those horrible store displays?
-
Picked up I believe is a new comic pack Anakin/Durge at Target
-
cool deal Chad, I will have to try to hunt up these comic packs now.
-
Found the new comic packs tonight at walmart picked up the anakin/durge and the ventress/skorr. I know what you mean now Shawn about those walmart displays for the bmf and atte. I didn't spend alot of time looking at them but everyone I saw had damage on the corners or top edges.
-
cool deal Chad. Yeah, I know those store displays are horrible even if it isnt hasbro's fault! ;D
-
Found an imperial pilot and the second rebel pilot evol set tonight at Target.

cool deal. You finished your evo sets!
-
Went to target today with nothing new there. At walmart did find parts of legacy wave three. Picked a couple up that I needed. They also got in some battlepacks, first I seen of those there.
-
good to see that wave hitting your stores too. I saw a rerelease of the battlepacks too. Glad they are giving them to us again.
-
Found legacy wave 3 and the new comic packs this morning at walmart.
-
nice score there, Chad! I still haven't found wave 3 yet.
-
Dang! I might have to take a world tour to look for some new SW goodies. I hate doing it with gas being what it is, but I want that Wave 3!
-
Walmart and Target today had not much new there.
-
Walmart had more of the legacy wave 3 in last night.

Chad your stores are over the top. I still haven't seen wave two hit my closest wal-mart and my farthest I have only seen wave 3 twice and then most were gone. Kind of funny that usually your targets were the great stores and now it seems your wal-marts are doing the best. Have your targets every caught back up?
-
Went up to St. Cloud today, since it was a rain day. Stopped by 2 targets and a TRU. Tru had the anakins mod starfighter, jedi starfighter with hyperring, more tie fighters. I haven't seen those around for a long time. Target had the new comic packs, more of the speeder bp's and anakins mod starfighter.
-
Made a few stops today before my dentist visit. Found the FU dvd packs at my second walmart. The first one had nothing out and the second one just had them on the shelf with the other figures. Saw more of the legacy wave 3 at both stores. Target had not much new, they did have a couple of Fox's marked down the $6.48.
-
good score on those fu packs.
-
Stopped by 2 walmarts this morning while trying to find a jack for my boat. Still pretty much the same as a few days ago. The pegs are quite full figs minus wave 2 of the CW line, might be awhile before those hit.
-
think that is why I havent seen the FU packs. The pegs and SW section is just too full.
-
Stopped by walmart today and saw nothing new. Did see more of the new comics, leg wave 3, and more of the speeder bp's. No sign of cw wave 2 or dvd packs. The SW section is pretty packed. It seems my area walmarts will be a little slow for awhile and the targets are even worse.
-
I know what you are saying about the stocked isles.
-
Nothing new going on at walmart this evening.
-
I haven't seen much lately either!
-
Well its been real slow around here for the last month. Only seen wave 3 of the CW line once. Since my collecting is on hold, don't really get out on the hunt as often.
-
Well this is a little old, but last friday I did see 2 new bp's at target. They had the shield generator and b'momk one. No sign of any new figures.
-
What did you think about the Shield one? I haven't seen those up here yet.
-
It looked pretty good, would have been nicer if they kept the 2 imp officers in it.
-
I hear you on that one Chad. Wish they hadn't show us the original pictures with that those in it.
-
Well while out this morning doing the black friday shopping, did see the walmart a-wings out and they had alot of them. They also had some of the new CW and Legacy waves out, at least part of them. Target really didn't have much new out.
-
Was at Target today and boy did they put out the stuff. They got alot of the new bp's, along with there exclusive ones, there exclusive mega skiff bp, the new legacy wave, new comic packs.
-
Wow. Sounds like you found the goodies. What did you think of the skiff?
-
I saw those Ultimate Battle Packs also, the Pit of Carkoon and the Battler for Christophsis, and for $63 each, I was underwhelmed. The Carkoon one was just a plastic mold of a sand dune with an okay looking Sarlaac monster, and of course the Skiff, which was plain as can be; no weathering, no detail. The figures were terrible. Absolutely terrible. The Christophsis one was better, in that the ships were fine, but the figures were just repacks, so not much new there. I guess I could almost see paying for that BP over the Carkoon one since you do get 2 ships and 5 or 6 figures.
-
Been pretty slow up here lately. Target seems to be the place to find anything as of lately. Walmart is pretty bare.
-
Saw today at Target the battle of christoperiss(close enough) at target. Looks like a pretty cool BP compared to what target had for their exclusives.

How pricey was that bad boy, Chad?
-
Well I never looked at the price, but I'm guessing it was around $50, based upon the other ultimate bp's in the past.
-
Was at target tonight and it looks like the CW wave 3? is out. I saw the magnaguard, 212th trooper among others.
-
Nice find there, Chad! I might have to go scouting.
-
The other day while at walmart spotted parts of legacy wave 5 and also the republic gunship. Man I tell you with seeing all of the new stuff it really hurts that I'm not collecting anymore. Its looking rally good. Boy it seems that the price has jumped up to around $7.50 a piece, ouch!

I seen $8.04 a figure at a Target, the other day, Chad.
Keep your eyes peeled for the Magna Guard fighter and the Super Vulture droid as they are to come out this month.
-
I hear you Chad. I am feeling the pain about not getting that republic gunship too. I don't see any more at my stores thank goodness.
-
On Sunday while at Target, I spotted some new battlepacks, saw the atte assault and the repack of the jedi vs sidious. Also saw the Sarlacc mega battlepack on clearence for $35, so keep an eye on those if you are looking for one. On Saturday stopped by a tru ans saw the lars homested mega battlepack and yes is the house really cheap looking!
-
Bet you could spice it up Chad!
-
Saw the new battlepacks today at Target. They had the jabba and yavin packs.

-

I have been looking for those even though I plan on passing on the Jabba one.
-
Stopped by walmart this morning and the Sw areas was pretty bleak. About a dozen figs on the pegs, some battlepacks and comic packs and thats all she wrote.
-
Found some more of the Empire wave at walmart today and picked up a hoth trooper.

I've yet to see this hoth trooper at retail, want to get one or two for fodder for my snowtroopers to shoot at, :)
-
I did see at walmart over this past weekend an obi wan in the new legends packaging.
-
got a hoth trooper, not horrible, :)
-
Its good to see someone going through the toy aisles again!
-
my target has to reduce the price >:(

Looks like the ties are going lower, but feel sorry almost I posted about the wedge xwing. I haven't seen a single person find the same deal. It will happen. Target is usually pretty good about it.
-
lets hope it will ;D
-
I saw a few of the X-wing's today at a local target, accompanied by a few more Tie's on the same end cap display.
All full price. Nothing was discounted any more at the local Target.
I even scanned a few items just to make sure.
That doesnt mean I wont keep looking though.
-
so im gonna go to target on friday and if i see something that is a good deal i will let you know
