Is that an online discount or a store discount too?

Sorry, no pics yet...I am stuck at work. I could snap one with my cell phone but I wouldn't have a clue how to upload it here. I'll try to see if I can do it from home this weekend though, these are worth the effort.

Yep, that big sale is for real, they have flyers and signs up all over the store. I was thinking the Turbo Tank was included too, but perhaps not.

For fifty dollars?  I might pick one up instead of the Republic Gunship!

I can confirm, I bought one today, sale went into effect at 3PM,   I was there at 12:30, the aholes made me come back, wouldn't budge on the time,  but I went and took Sue out to lunch then scored one.   Personally it was too good to pass up.

Well, I finally have some GOOD news to share!  ;D

Our local TRU just got the new TCW Deluxe Vehicle/Fig sets in stock, hot off the trucks! I picked up Dooku w/Speeder Bike and Obi-Wan w/Freeco Speeder. (They only had 1 of each, but it was enough)

I was shocked because I went there expecting to find some new BP's, which have also been spotted at TRU today, as per the JTA front page. I don't think any of this stuff is even on TRU's website yet!

This is really noteworthy for me, because this is the first time I have ever broken news on a new toy find that  no one else has yet reported. I mean literally, I haven't heard of ANYONE finding these at a brick and mortar store before today.

You heard it here first! (unless you read it on one of the other 5 sites I blabbed to this morning already)   ;D


we've had them here for a few days at least.

I'm telling you guys, mecca of toys is west Ky.


Still no atst, though.


they did clearance out the tie interceptor model kit to 3 bucks, but I missed it, some guy bought all ten they had, :(

that would have been a good score. I got the last atte my store had for 1/2 off today. I even got to use a piece of clone cash on that transaction. I used another one on the tie interceptor and a third on the two new speeders.
  They had the McQ sets but I didnt need em. They were sold out of the bust-up sets and there were no new battle packs or figures.

I too, as Clint and a few others have, took advantage of the 50% off of the AT-TE and picked one up.  It's a really great buy!
