Up to 30% off on ALL Star Wars, apparently.  (According to TRU.com)  I'm not sure if this is just an online promotion, or an in-store one, too, though...

Is anybody else seeing little signs in their SW aisle at TRU, reading something along the lines of, "If we don't have it here, we may have it at our warehouse!  Ask one of the sales assosciates to see if we can order it for you."  I might be able to score a few Bastila Shans, if they have them!

Did anyone see the facebook page ad where you can get 30% off a Y-Wing and get a free Commander Blackout?

I wasn't sure how the y-wing would qualify as it's marked at $29.99 and to qualify for a Blackout, you gotta spend $30 before taxes.
I did get a free blackout today, btw, when I picked up another FU figure set. Still no tvc wave 9 to be found anywhere. "no luck today at target either, Shawn"

Did I see it? I went and bought the Y-Wing today and got the free Blackout figure. Then I hit a Kmart and piced up the vintage wave with Hoth Trooper, Ponda Bobba, Rebel Fleet Trooper, Logray, Wickett and Bastilla Shann. What a lucky day! Still no sight of the Rebel ground crew with speeder!

Nice score, my friend.  I'm especially envious of that Bastila; maybe my TRU will have her tomorrow, and if they don't, I'll take them up on their warehouse order offer.

I saw those RC's today and mad do they look good! I had to pass them up as I really need to focus my collecting these days. I have decided to stick to the OT for now. I may cherry pick a few things non OT here and there but that is about it for me these days.

That Kmart is a old run down one that I check when I hear people have found new figures. It is crazy, they get new figures first somehow. Most cases they don't even ring up at the register, like today. She had to manualy enter the price. Then they will not get new figures for a while. It is crazy I tell ya!

I passed up a Defense of Kamino BP and a Captain Rex (jetpack); even 2 for $11.99 couldn't persuade me to spend my money.  I don't know why...  My collecting interest for SW is waning, as of late.

I went into my local TRU for the first time this year; they were EMPTY, and I'm not exaggerating.  The ONLY thing they had were two Legacy Obi-Wans on the Legacy pegs, and a few Obi-Wans, CW Style, on their CW pegs.  And this was the front of the store, with the new TPM display...   :-\

(I checked the back, and although they still had a Force FX lightsaber on display and the "Star Wars" oval plates in the aisle, it was completely restocked with other non-SW items.  I have to admit that it was sad to see.)

Looks like a ten dollar coupon with no minimum purchase on SW Items.

Sweet deal.  Figures are only $6.99 on Toysrus.com, as well.

Better hit the stores quick. Spooky was told this coupon was probably ending today. He had a heck of a time finding them, but they do exist in the stores folks.

Well, in regards to my post from the other day, I figured out why my local ToysRus was so empty during my last few visits: they're moving the location.   :-\  Looks like I'll have to take my collecting to eBay, now...
