What's the price on these, I wonder.
-
I am wondering if this means they are gonna be slightly over a two figure price as they didn't give us one. Course, I guess you are thinking the same thing.
-
I am guessing the comic pack price of $12 for these.

We shall see. I have a feeling these are gonna increase, but I hope I am wrong.
-
i hope they dont as they are very near the top of my hit list along with R2-L3,R5-A2 and R7-T0
-
I think we will be lucky to see Ponds at a twelve dollar price.
-
surely not, buddy. That would be robbery!

I think the last one we went after from toysrus was ten or more wasn't it?
-
their Joe exclusives are the normal price. did they charge more for a star wars exclusive, last time?

Is this a trick question? 8)
-
Really, I don't remember what the tru exclusive figure was, last time.
-
Yup - TRU charged more for their exclusive fig - I think it was about $2 more than their normal fig price...
-
those dirty dogs!
-
single fig prices here are generally $7.99 to $8.99. that being said a two pack would go for $14.99 to $15.99.
and comic packs are generally in the same range dependant upon the store.
I tend to buy more when sales come up. which does happen frequently, and of that i am thankful.
These babies are due out around my birthday, and i might even be lucky enough to find them.
no such luck lately. one of each lower price range ships on the shelves, but nothing i couldnt live without right now.
-
I am on the Hunt, DRS, and I am hungry............for star wars, that is. I will be hitting state line target, tomorrow. The wife said that her store had a blue arc trooper commander, today, but I already got one, this weekend.
-
i havent gotten the new one, but it looks alot like the Order 66 version repack. i have about 6 of this one loose and as many of the comic pack version.
I must have about 30 plus ARC troopers including shadow, yellow , commanders and blue versions. and that doesnt count the unopened ones.
I even had 6 loose original Cartoon network version CloneWars ARC troopers in grey, blue and red that i let my son have and i kept the boxed ones.
I really didnt like the articulation on that line, but the accessories are still great.
I probably have about 50 different clone commanders loose in all varieties. that also includes the skinny CW line, mostly Rex figs of whichi have about 5 open and 5 boxed for future use and also 4 of the mail in variety.
I do tend to overdo it with what i like, and you can get great deals on ebay that make it easier than buying them upon release. Loose makes for a good bargain.
now if only i could update the storage area of our basement and display some of it better. that is the only place the wife will let me display stuff, besides in the sons room.... which becomes the revolving door play and display area. He is 4 years old and before we started playing with them, i collected only moc figs and maybe the occassional ship. very few figs got opened, normally special occassion figs given to me by friends as gifts.
now the opening is like a major addiction.
-
in the u.k. the TRU exclusive figures (SW) are £12.99 ! and they are normally £7.99.....
-
Dana my girl is three and she is trying to get me to open her Legacy BMF Falcon. I too am primarily a boxed and carded guy and am starting to open a bit more as she is playing with it more. Ofcourse I do have all the Sith around here who are trying to get me to open everything!
-
I am usually the evil one... and there is only so much will power can do for you...
especially when the wife jokes and threatens to let them open more and more stuff...
she just doesn't understand.... but she is accepting and tries to accommodate us.
-
Emperor's voice "you want to open this, Don't you?"
-
Or in the words of Locutus of BORG, " Resistance is futile."
I have a bad feeling that before long a large majority of my stuff may be loose.
-
They take up less space loose...
-
That's right, Doc. Why, one could pack 30 to 40 loose clones into the at-te alone and still take up less space than an AT-TE box. Imagine the space that all of those figures cards would take.
-
LOL. I knew we shouldn't have gotten you guys started. Oh well, starting to roll that way, a little bit at least.
-
Stand back you guys, give Shawn some space here!......lol..... ;) ;D.....
-
Stand back you guys, give Shawn some space here!......lol..... ;) ;D.....
Only time will tell how much space I need Greg. Daggone conspiracy around here I tell you!
-
Yeah...he's gonna NEED space for all that cardboard waste he's about to generate..... :o :o
;D ;D ;D
-
Yeah...he's gonna NEED space for all that cardboard waste he's about to generate..... :o :o
;D ;D ;D
LOL. Did you see the cardboard waste I already have waiting in my Star Wars room?
-
Yes...yes, I did. Trust me...that will be as *nothing*!!! Once you start opening, you will be unable to resist the lure of "just one more"!!
(good vid, btw - shelves look great!)
-
Those vehicle boxes make good shipping comtainers also , tamer.
Some items actually go for more loose than moc on eBay. Weird but true.
The differance in shipping is part of it. I think more people search for loose sw items than moc stuff.
If you have anything graded, however, that is a different story altogether.
-
I tell ya, it's crazy to watch the current waves of figs (Beru, Owen, Medical Luke, Medical Leia, etc) go for store prices + when they are LOOSE and don't have the BAD part!
-
Yes that is crazy..... but if I could find these items near me and at normal prices, I wouldnt have to look on ebay and resort to overpaying for the item minus the packaged parts, and the sellers would have 1 less item to put up for auction and 1 less item for me to overpay to get.
you either get caught in the moment and pay for it, or wait and maybe not get it and then overpay later...
really frustrating either way, but you have to go for what you can afford I guess.

*O&$!)&*!@#_$(*&!+()$%*+@)(%*+@(%*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These mothers are out now at Walmarts across the country, oh, EXCEPT IF YOU LIVE IN VIRGINIA!
I'm about to burst a blood vessel after reading all the online reports of people scoring these awesome pieces at their local Walmarts.
It's not fair! Why do all 5 Walmarts around here suck so badly? Heck, I've only seen 1 that even had the BAD figs, and those lasted all of about 5 minutes.
Hasbro should create a website to track all of their inventory shipments around the country, so you can log on and see what is on the way to your local retail outlets. Of course, that would likely expose their INSANELY ARBITRARY shipping strategy, so I'm not holding my breath.
-
I will be checking for these on my way home as I hear they are hitting kc.
-
I saw two complete sets at a WM that is 60 miles away from me - ONCE. They were completely GONE two weeks later when I was able to go back on a hunt for them. Neither of the two smaller WMs I can get to regularly have them. Rebe is going to check her store again today if she gets a chance and I'll buzz the other one when I hit the feedstore today.
-
Awesome, good luck fellas! I hope you fare better than I did.
I hit 2 Wally's at lunch and neither had anything new. I'll likely hit the 3 others tonight just to make sure.
-
No luck at state line. I did find some comic packs on clearance for$9.
Not the ewok pack I was looking for, though.
-
Did someone say Ewok pack?.....lol ;)

Which ones did ya find on clearance?
-
alien x wing pilots. Gotta love em.
-
Wouldn't ya know... I haven't even SEEN those in local stores and you are seeing them on clearance...
-
Nothing found last night at any of the local Walmarts around here...I'm so disgusted I don't even feel like looking anymore.
No one is getting ANYTHING around here...Target. Kmart, Walmart, TRU, you name it. They're all coasting on old stuff that has been gathering dust for weeks.
I swear Hasbro must have made about 5 million ARC-170's and Turbo Tanks...they are taking up waaay too much space on the shelves.
-
Looks like I spoke too soon...I found an off-the-grid Walmart within driving range today and scored BOTH CW Walmart exclusive 2 packs! This store had great stock, multiples of each. They even had those TLC Evo sets.
They are AWESOME! New toys at last! ;D
-
alien x wing pilots. Gotta love em.
If you come across those two again you mind getting me one I really need Ibtisam,
We could trade or I'll Paypal you the money?
-
Saw these at a local WM this week - well-stocked, mebbe 6 of each. Still not a fan of the Skinnies-style, but I liked the episode they were in (first one ever?). I'm tempted to grab me up some Legacy Finheads and remake them "properly," donchaknow. Mebbe if I buy more finheads, they'll make more finheads. ;)
-
I found Wave 2 at lunch! Walmart had just stocked six apiece on the shelves...Fives looks awesome!
-
Im still looking for them i only found them on ebay but i want to get them in the packs hope to find them soon .
-
I have found all of them about a month ago. They are all good figures.
-
yeah we have droves of them. . .heck TRU even had prisoner leia, its like a monsoon of product down here. . .except the atst, :)
-
What do you mean down here, I am as south as you can get, Houston, TX, anybody more lower than me?
-
Narc's from Down Under! (right?)
Edit - Oops, my bad. Lousiana actually?
Who's our resident Aussie again?
I love that we get posters from all over in here!
-
I may need you to pick up some yoda and thire two packs if they are still around.
-
my store is loaded with the cody n echo. Seems no one wants that set. I've bought a good amount of rex/fives for custom fodders.
-
I'm surprised that they havent restocked the yoda and thire two packs. Seems like those were more popular.
Welcome to the shipyards, Arctrooper Drew!
-
wish we had them over here :(
-
wish we had them over here :(

-
