Area Reports #2

No man, sorry. Looks like only 1 case was put out. I found them around 2 PM which kinda surprised me they were still there that late in the day. I agree with the price for the landspeeder and tauntaun. To me they should only be about 14.99 but not during these times. Makes me miss the ROTS days when stuff was still reasonable.

well I caved and got all 3 of the Target exclusives. Unreal for $80 including tax, not even cool. I just figure with Hasbro's low numbers I'm not going to see them around much longer. Thanks again for the tip, got them at the Cedar Crest Target, still had a battle pack and landspeeder.

Hey guys was at the Harleysville Wal-Mart today and found the Echo Base Trooper! Love this figure more than most, it's such a great sculpt all around. Bummed he doesn't stand very well, you gotta position his arms in front more. I wanted him in that kind of servile military stance with his arms behind his back, but he just wants to fall over. Great detail in this random figure though. Plus I love Hoth.

Anyways, a few figures still remained, saw Bastilla Shan and also Jango Fett. Both figs looked great and I also found a Wicket there with Logray!?! Plus a Rebel Fleet Trooper. So if you are in need of any of those, head down ASAP.

Had a good day yesterday. Took a road trip and found Slave Leia, Tie Fighter Pilot and Han with Trench coat at Abington Target. They had a couple of different figures with the Revenge of the Jedi packaging but couldn't see myself spending another 10 bucks for a figure I already have just for the title. Then I headed up to Warrington Wal-Mart and finally found the elusive Mace Windu and Kit Fisto.

Abington Target did have at least 1 of each left of Leia Slave and Tie Fighter Pilot and a couple trench coat Han's. Is the Mace Windu wave being revised in newer stuff or was this just an old case lying around in back.

Nice I didn't know the Revenge cards had hit yet. I finally got my Ponda Baba and an Echo Base Trooper, but I'm still waiting on a new Gammorean and I'd like to get another Slave Leia because she's on a Vintage card plus I want one to be sitting and one to stand in the action poses for some dios. Trench coat Han kills me with that ridiculous barrel chest that could have easily been fixed.

Checked Allentown Target off Airport Rd. today after work, but I'll be damned if they still didn't restock the freakin' shelves with new product. Absolutely NO new figures whatsoever, still Sandtroopers and remnants of ROTJ Wave, unreal.

I did luck out though because I found the hard-to-find Luke ROTJ Ultimate FX Lightsaber. The green one comes 1 unit per case, so the rest are all Vader's and Anikan's which blows. But I found one and they were already marked down to 29.99 plus I used a TEXT coupon they offered and they listed it right on the price tag. The clerk scanned it and sure enough, 5 bucks off! Not bad for 26.99 total with tax, especially considering it's on par with the Master Replica technology.

So if any of you guys need to get your role play on, but cheaply, hit up the Targets ASAP!

Yeah, I don't really follow role playing stuff so I was surprised there was even a Luke Skywalker lightsaber at TRU. I couldn't resist picking it up. I also found Vintage Wave 9 the other day at Kmart, which surprised me because they are usually barren in the SW section. Now I just have to find the Revenge wave and I'm good to go!

How is everyone doing in this fine new year. Just a heads up, TPM wave has hit Pa. Found the remnants of it at Target on Cedar Crest this morning. I grabbed the only Queen Amidala.

[SaberSonic83]

Doing great, however no collecting news worth speaking of. This has gotta be like a 3-4 month drought. I did pick up a Luke Skywalker Ultimate FX lightsaber, pretty great for $25 (had some coupons at the time).

Still waiting to see a nice Leia reissue or a Wedge or another Gamorrean Guard. I've only found remnants of the Revenge wave, TIE Pilot, Endor Han, R2 with tray, but no Leia at all.

Saw all the Phantom Menace stuff at Q-town Target, nothing exceptional nor were there any 'light up' characters, but most of TPM wave was there including vehicles. I was stoked to see the new painted Rebel Trooper Blaster which I def. picked up.

I'm a sucker for sweet Role Play stuff even though I'm not a kid anymore, the sculpts for this are fantastic and the colors are much better than on the previous version. Has a light-up laser site too, def. recommend it if you enjoy Star Wars guns.

Hey I ended up purchasing the last B-Wing today. Was in the exact spot you said it would be. Box was in better shape than I thought, but was mangled up on one of the smaller side panels. Still managed to get it for 10% off because of this and I'm an opener anyways. Still keeping the box though!

Also, I checked the Whitehall one right before just in case they might have some crispy boxes, but they didn't have anything when I checked. Pretty poor assortment of SW anyways, just a lot of battle packs. Hope you find better luck though...

Found the ROTJ wave at Springfield Wal-Mart, finally got that Slave Leia on a card and picked up another Rebel Fleet Trooper, both were only $4! I'd take advantage if at all possible, supposedly ALL the new deleted scene figures are that cheap.
