Check your local TRU stores, folks. This week they are running a buy 1 get 1 50% off sale on SW figures. Also, TFU figures and the FU figure wave have been rumored to be showing up here in the states.

TRU just plain sucks. They haven't restocked any new SW toys around here for weeks. They have NEVER bothered to order the new wave of Battle Packs either, which annoys me to no end.

There isn't anything worth buying at that suckhole, on sale or otherwise.

Yes, I'm bitter.  >:(

Thanks for the alert, Clint!  I'll have to hunt down a close one - what's the end-date on the sale?

Not sure doc. My guess would be this coming Sunday.

The sale is good through May 1st, same day the endcap is supposed to go up with the EU Wave and new TFU sets.

I will bet all the money I have that our TRU's will not stock any new toys this week in advance  of this promotion. It's like they've just given up altogether.

Well, I was half right. TRU got the TFU sets in and on display yesterday, but they failed to restock any figures, so no EU Wave and STILL NO BATTLEPACKS. frigging unbelievable...

Basic figs are about $4...something, lol.  I didn't quite catch the price, but I picked one up.

TFU figures stocked here, but I am not paying $29.99 when I'm only going to use a few of the figures, if that!

I am wanting the phase 1 darktrooper and the space trooper from this wave.
I would gladly trade some parts for them and be generous on my end.

My TRU got one measly case of the EU Wave today and it was missing Jacen and the Spacetrooper. WTF? I cracked open the case myself and they were not in there!

I did pick up my K'Kruhk though, which is really the only figure I wanted from this wave. He is marvelous.

And yes, that sale was off the hook - 4.99 plus half off the next figure! Gotta love that.

Clint, no luck.  The store had gotten the new fig;s, since I managed to pick up some repacks that had the newest BG-J droid parts in the BAD slot, but none of the really neat new stuff.  I really wanted that K'kruck for myself, too!  No white alien Wing Guard, either.  They had ONE pkg of the Galen Marik set, but I passed.  I figure I'll order them online.   :-\

They might have a Plo Koon, as well as some Droids, and Echos(clone) at my store.  I know they have the Jek/Yoda pack, as well, filling your need for a Yoda and Clones.
