Thanks.  I'll take pretty much all the Target Droid 3-packs at that price anyone can find - I'll trade my casts, send money, loan out my kids, whatever... we can work a deal on these!

I walked through a target yesterday looking for the new joe waves and these jokers still are sitting on their wave 1 stuff. They are really screwing the pooch this time as by the time they put out their wave 2-3 stuff, everyone will already have it. Looks like clearance fodder in their future. no 3 packs were present on their shelves.
         No new repack wave in their SW isle although i did get a vintage fig for the $2.50ish price at a different store the other day. I will have to dig around and find that pic. Seen the new release little vehicles on the shelf for $19.99 and this Slave 1 caught my eye. Packaging looks good but man, this box is really thin. This vehicle can't be very big at all.

I forget where I read a review of that ship the other day. When I saw the cockpit and its relation to the overall size of the rest of the ship it was just awful. I think some folks are trying to use this one for their Kubriks. Nough said.

For collectors this one will never sell. Kids might be interested, but this one will be a good test. They sacrificed size to keep it at a cheaper price point.

I'm thinking about getting one and modding it to be a "poor man's Firespray clone" scout or something...

Lets roast my local target again.

Went in on a mummers quest to find new star wars and joe stuff. Should have known better than to try the Blue Springs MO target store.
Joe wise, the last time I was there, they were still holding onto the pipedream that if they didnt stock waves 2 and 3 that the masses would buy up the wave 1 fodder from last year.
Well it looks like after a clearance event that they have cleared out most of wave 1 but being as they only have 2 shin level pegs dedicated to joe figures now, my guess is that a restock wont come. Oh, and look at this.....they raised the price of the ninja showdown sets from the standard $19.99 to match the higher walmart price of $23.99.

Good job, Target, that lower price on that one item was the only thing that might have warranted a return trip, which wont come from me.

I wont even mention the star wars section unless you are interested in peg warming episode 1 figures and those new 12 inch plastic turds that hasbro has been wasting case space with.

Just when I thought there might be a little hope that distribution was improving a bit. Guess not!

Checked my target for the 6 inch line today. Saga legends, mission series and that's it. No peg spaces for either the 6 inch line or any joes for that matter.
I think I will stage a target boycott.

Target is not pegging the 6" line, they are sitting them on the shelf just below the pegged figures. My local Targets have the 6" line in this manner, check the shelf tags the next time you go, you should see the stickers for them there :)

Target is doing ten percent off all purchases after their credit card fiasco.
