I know, I'm getting a little fed up. I should just wait a few weeks (or months) and they'll probably be clogging the shelves, but I want them now!
They're on the "island" endcap display that is now dedicated to Star Wars. Not all stores have set this endcap yet, so you may have to keep looking.
At frst I was only mlidly interested in these. My kids more so obviously. However these are much better than I thought and not as hard to find as you would think given some are in blind packs. Given that they are Hasbor I though for sure we were going ot have to deal with tons of duplicates to get anywhere close to a full set. Howver the fact that they have the 5 ways get them (4 of which are mostly visible) makes it easier (more addictive) than I thought it would be. My kids and I got a Hoth, Falcon. Starfighter, and 4 blind packs. By spacing out the purchases a little and only buying big packs when all but 1 or 2 were duplicates, we were able to get 39 different figures with only 6 duplicates. Still fairly expensive but with the little blass they comes with converting into stands they make nice display pieces. So I have to actually give Hasbro a thumbs up on this one. By far the best supuire in the 1/30 launch of toys IMO.
Local Target has them pegged in the SW home section on the right-hand side - the last couple of pegs and shelf-space is devoted to them.
I had to visit 4 stores (Walmart, Toys R Us, Target and Meijer) but finally found the Jabba that I wanted. Actually, the only place that had Fighter Pods at all was Meijer. All they had were the sets that either come with the Sith Infiltrator or the Millennium Falcon. I would've preferred the Falcon, but they only had one set with Jabba and it was with the Infiltrator. Anyway, I don't really expect to get any more of these unless future waves come out with some Jabba's palace aliens or something, and then I might be interested in picking up some others like the droids or Boba Fett to fill out a little display. For the moment I'm satisfied with Jabba, though.
By the way, Meijer had the blind-packaged 2-pack for $4.99 which is just ridiculous. You can either get 9 figures (8 of which you can see), plus a vehicle and 4 of the spinners for $9.99 or two mystery figures and one spinner for $4.99? Makes no sense to me.
Yeah, theres no sign of the end cap at my target yet.
Hasbro, hear my plea for the Rickshaw Droid!
Current top five most wanted: rickshaw droid, Kalyn farnmir, veedaaz awmeth, toonbuck toora, mosep.

Just the opposite at local Target near me. They were in also in the main SW section with the figures but on the left hand side. The Hoth set was on the shelf just below the pegs and the blind packs were on the next shelf below with the puzzles and fett lego pens

I have Kit Fisto, Darth Maul, Quigon Jinn, Snowtrooper, Bossk, Jek Porkins, and Imperial Guard figures available for trade. I'm only interested in the Han in Carbonite, Jedi Luke, C-3PO or R2-D2.
So, where did you finally find them? Hit four stores today. Still no sign of these.

Found a Target with these today and got the one big set with the AT-AT and snowspeeder. They had six of them and each had a different mix of figures. I found one that had both versions of R2 and two versions of Vader. The entire set was $19.99.
Tomorrow I'm heading back to TRU to return the three sets that I paid $28 for to get those same figures.
Also - the four packs were $5.99 at this Target vs. $7.99 at TRU.
