North Carolina Store Reports #3

[JadBean]

Yesterday I hit the new Target in Morrisville, on Chapel Hill Rd and Cary Pkwy. Way in the back left corner of the store were several shelves of discounted Star Wars stuff. I saw:

Republic Attack Shuttle - $40
Vintage 3-packs (the one with Bossk and the one with AT-AT Driver) - $10
Some Clone Wars figures at $4 each
Remote control Republic tank thingy - can't remember the price

Plus a TON of Captain America comic two-packs (Crossbones and Bucky) - $7 each

Also saw some Renegades GI Joe figures on the pegs that weren't there a week ago, so they must have gotten a new Joe case in, but someone got all the good figs.

It might be a bit early but I figure I might as well throw it on out... If anyone finds extra GI Joe Pursuit of Cobra Cycle Armor and/or HISS Scout vehicles at Ross, I am looking for one of each so please keep me in mind. I am willing to pay $15 per vehicle.

Just bumping this up. I was able to find the Cycle Armor set at Ross, but if anyone finds a HISS Scout or two I am still willing to pay $15 each.

Anyone ever see this at retail?

Mandalorian Transport
Star Wars Clone Wars Mandalorian Assault Transport Vehicle - Hasbro - Star Wars - Vehicles at Entertainment Earth

from JTA Toy Fair 2012 Q+A with Hasbro...

Q: Many collectors have been frantically searching for the SOTDS Mandalorian Assault Transport at both retail and online stores. I believe the vehicle only saw release in Canada and know that it commands a hefty sum online. Does Hasbro have any plans to reissue this awesome vehicle to US collectors?

Hasbro: The Mandalorian Assault Transport unfortunately did not make it out in time. Retail has discontinued the Shadow Of The Dark Side phase of The Clone Wars line so there sin't a place for it on shelves now. Orders placed through Entertainment Earth should be fulfilled. That may be your best bet for this vehicle because this vehicle has not been considered for release anytime in the near future.

"Should be" more like "better be" since it's still up for preorder. I'm kind of tempted.

Anybody seen Ric Oile and the Naboo Pilot in the Raleigh area yet? I hauled off and bought an R2-A6 just to go with one of them in the new Naboo Starfighter...

[stroebel83]

there are a good number of pilots at spring lake wm, in the display by the garden center

Cary TRU put a case of GI Joe 2012 wave 4 out and I got the 2 Zombie Vipers.

Stopped at Wal-Mart while in Greenville today and found a Ric Olie and Naboo pilot. Once I got home I received my R2-A6 in the mail. Now all I need is that new Naboo Starfighter.

Well, I finally saw a Y-Wing Scout with Warthog while at Sci-Fi Genre in Durham. I'd really like to get it... but they're asking $45 for it. Ouch time. Think I'll pass.

$18.99 at entertainment earth (temporarily out of stock but you can order it). You can also order the Manadlorian Transport to help lower the cost of shipping.
