    Collection 1 Wave 3 out now in the UK!!

    Just got back from town. The local (Lancaster) Toymaster had out Collection 1 Wave 3 for the regular price of £5.99.

    Picked up Palpatine and Clone Commander. Palpatine, like the 2nd Yoda, has an extra sticker on for his action feature. It's only a small downwards arrow, probably put on as the black euro sticker at the bottom covers the instructions.

    HMV had the Trivial Pursuit DVD for £44.99, but I couldn'f afford to pick that up today.

    Dont suppose you could take a picture of the Palpatine sticker could you?

    Cheers.
    The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head!

    I can't I'm afraid Typho. I'm probably one of the few people left without a digital camera. I'm at uni now, but when I go home at the weekend I can scan it if no one else has taken a picture by then.

    It's literally just a yellow sticker with a white arrow on it pointing downwards. It starts just next to his hand and goes down to what looks like knee height (hard to tell because of Palpatine's costume).

    Oh dear, I'm another Newbie, but a nice one. Its funny how things get around. I was in that very Lancaster Toymaster about 10.30 this morning and thought I had missed out on the Clone Pilot as a small boy was eyeing the last up. However I was lucky because he returned it too the pegs and I managed to get #33-36 for the collection. Woolworths also had in a Repbulic Gunship, but no other basic apart from a lone Bail Organa who was hiding behind Obi-Wan's starfighter and a Tri-Droid Fighter.

    I got my Palpy from a collector's fair in my country. He has the correct red Lightsaber, the big black sticker covering the lower portion of the cardback and the black arrow sticker.

    Have a digi cam too and will be taking pics of all my new ROTS goodies tomorrow.

    Wow! I thought I was the only one in Lancaster

    Have to say the selection here does suck a lot normally so Toy Master was a nice surprise!

    You must be the guy the girl on the till mentioned! She said someone was in earlier buying all four!

    There seemed plenty to go around, at least 2 or 3 of every figure when I was there.

    The girl also said they get them in quite regularly as they've sold out twice. She said they always go fast. Might be good to keep checking whenever a new wave is due out if they restock at a good rate.

    Yeah DarthMaulSithLord, mine has a red saber too. They all did. Looks like Hasbro caught this error before they shipped the figures over here. It's fine for me, but anyone who collects variants will probably have to look for an import version if they want the blue lightsaber.

    Yep, That will have been me. I know what you mean about the selection, apart from the Initial 1-12 at Argos and Index theres not much in the way of the later collections, so this was a surprise. Toymaster must have put out some more of this wave though cause when I left there were four Palps and only one Clone Commander. Mind you though I'll sure be visiting again if they keep this up, the other women in black (manager I think) said they re-stock with new figures quite often, here's hoping for #37 upwards!

    Do you know if Toy Master gets Collection 2?

    I've not really been looking since Midnight Madness. I got most of what I wanted then (not all as I'm on a budget until after my holiday in the summer).

    I checked Toy Master at the Trafford Centre about a week ago and all they had was Collection 1 waves 1 and 2 (don't remember seeing any C2). Seems the opposite for Woolworths, all they ever seem to have is C2 wave 1.

    Hopefully Toy Master will be getting wave 3 of C2 soon. If not then hopefully the army building C1 wave 4 will hit some time in May.
