Great Lakes Finds #31 "Revenge of the Vintage"...in 3D!

OK no one laugh but I thought I'd give it a try.

Does anyone have an extra cyborg Darth Maul from that Infinities comic pack from a couple years ago? I'd be willing to buy the entire comic pack if anyone has an extra but really I'm just looking for the Darth Maul (with lightsaber of course) for my son.

Did you see the images of the upcoming battle pack that came out today? It has what looks to be this Maul with a new head and paintjob as well as Armored Savage and a Nightsister.

So you may want to avoid spending the premium you'll pay for that set and wait on this new one!

I had some interesting finds today.

I got some DS wave remnants at Dearborn WM. I got Sandstorm Lando and Col. Cracken. I already have my fill so these are trade bait. I'm gonna post about them elsewhere on here but I'm gonna give you local dudes first dibs. I'd most like to trade for a TVC Nom Anor or Wedge Antilles.

I'm also seeing some of those new minirigs hitting. I saw both the Scuba rig and the Anakin recon rig at Dearborn TRU and Garden City K-Mart today. I bought the one at K-mart which unfortunately had way worse paint aps, but its was $3 cheaper than TRU's new $20.99 price. If you are interested in these things you should start looking!

So, my last post alerting that I saw a new figure was from March 3rd. It's really sad that I haven't seen a new figure in over two months!

same here Pizza....except for online or the Marshalls Ashoka two pack dump off. I haven't seen not one wave 2 movie heroes. el zippo.

Don't feel bad, you guys probably have real lives and families and stuff. I only see this new crap because I'm able to hit stores on truckdays at opportune times and so on.

Plus, in the 4 years I've been into this, it seems like this time of year is always a little bit dead when it comes to distribution. Yeah, the TPM wave is hurting stores bad, but do we really think that will be as difficult to sell through as some of the worst clunkers of the past few years (i.e. Yarna, yellowing helmet ROTS trooper, Sandtrooper, Anakin, etc.)?

I'm starting to see new stuff trickle out. Keep faith. This hobby is cyclical and will pick up again very soon!

Haha yeah I just saw that earlier today! Very nice set. Great timing on that huh? Now here's hoping i can find one given the exclusivity.

found nothing on my trip downstate

Nothing new of note at the Ann Arbor TRU except LOTR Lego. Checked the Saline Walmart and nothing new except MH wave 2. Left all 5 new MH figures there since I found them at another Walmart earlier.
