Luminara, Argyus, Thire, and the AAT Driver.

Lumy and Argyus are really well done! I might even need extras!

And I am officially back OFF the Hunt.  ;D

The Crumb Bomber was my latest snag, courtesy of the local TRU this morning.

I'm back to being caught up, darn it.

Let me know if anyone starts seeing the Matchstick/Padme wave!

Luminara, Argyus, Thire, and the AAT Driver.

Just saw these at my wife's WalMart.  They restocked SW figs, looks like one box of CW figs and one box of Legacy.  Saw four whole figs with L8-L9 parts, the Biker Scout, Jawa w/ Tredwell, Han in Stormie armor, Luke in Stormie armor.  The *new* figs were already long gone.

This store NEVER STOCKED the HK wave...  unless the stockers got them first.

Nope, I haven't even seen the TIE Interceptor yet...not that I would buy it, but it's always nice to see new product.

I'm taking a break from hitting any more stores until I hear news on the new BP's or that next CW wave with Matchstick.

Gotta focus on the vintage stuff for awhile...

Well, since it looks like nothing much is going on right now, I went ahead and picked up another Geonosis Assault BP just for kicks. I figure if I ever do decide to display any of this stuff it I am going to need 2 pods anyway. Plus the scarcity of these (I have only seen them at TRU) makes it seem like a worthwhile investment.

I also grabbed the Walmart Droid Factory Exclusive Pack with Boba Fett and BL-17. The lure of anything associated with the Droids cartoon is just too strong. I love it!

Don't expect to be hitting any more stores for awhile, but maybe I'll start snooping around next week.

Another lame-ass week comes to an end.  >:(

Hasbro is just all about Legacy right now. Way to neglect us CW fans, guys.

I've had multiple sightings of the Target exclsuive Geonosis Arena sets, and now the Interceptors have shown up at TRU, but good luck finding a FREECO SPEEDER or RISHI MOON OUTPOST ATTACK BP.

Thanks for telling us these would be out 8/7, only two months late and counting!

Longest dry spell around here for awhile...

And the drought is officially over!  ;D

I know I'm repeating myself, as I have blabbed all over this forum today, but I was lucky enough to have found the 2 new TCW Deluxe Vehicle/Fig sets this morning at my local TRU.

Richmond was actually the center of the Star Wars toy universe for one brief, shining moment. Who'd have imagined? (Certainly not me)

I hope you guys can find them too, these are both awesome pieces!

I'm back on the hunt now for the Rishi Moon BP too, that has been spotted at  TRU in Alabama apparently.

Woot!

Thanks, I am super psyched about this as well! It's like an early birthday present to myself! (11/2 if you're wondering)

The Freeco, just from a quick glance, looks marvelous. One thing I noticed right away was the really slick frosting effect on the windshield to emulate snow/ice buildup. Great detail.

I won't be opening either, but I'll see if I can get some nice shots of the boxes. :)

Hit up 3 Walmarts and 2 Targets at lunch, but none of them had anything new. No new figs, no new BP's, no Dewbacks, nada.

I did see the Geonosis Assault and Vulture's Claw BP at a Walmart, first time they have been spotted outside of a TRU around here. Same store also had a recent restock of the latest exclusive BAD line, very surprising.
