Richmond, VA Store Reports & General Chat 07 - 09

[Yoda_Worshiper]

If I recall correctly, once a set of posts hits 500, we need to start a new line of posts.

So here it is!

BTW - I have seen nothing of Wave 1, or Wave 2 TAC. The last widespread wave of Saga is sitting on shelves now. I can't tell you how many Elite Clone's I've seen Peg warming.

Of course the only thing I'm looking for anymore is the McQuarrie figures.

YW

I hear ya - Walmart on Hull has TONS of the Appo wave and Wave 1 of the TAC. It's probably better to order the Mcfigs online.

Well, I hit TRU/West at lunch and lo & behold they had the new Titanium Ultras so I picked up the CW Gunship. Here's the stink of it though...$24.99! Ouch, thats way too much for these little ships. I think these are exclusive to TRU though so I imgine as they come in stock, they'll end up sittin there. Hit TRU/Midlo on the way back but nothing of interest.

Geez, yeah...24.99 really is a bit much. I cannot believe how rubbish FH Wal-Mart is. They had a couple cases of the Saga out and, really, that's it. Aside from the V-Wings, I think I am pretty excited for the new comic packs. Hopefully, they'll both be showing up soon.

I tell ya, outside of when ROTS came out, I have never found anything of interest at Wally/FH that hasnt already been found somewhere else long before. They seem to be real slow in stocking SW toys and when they do its very little. I would rank that particular store at the bottom with Kmart as far as the hunt goes. Now Wallys at Chester/Hull/Midlo are a whole different matter as they're on the regular hunt list! Dont know whats up with FH, the Targets always good though as are Chester/Midlo/Hull. KB at the mall is another one that ranks in the bottom.

Sorry for not posting earlier, as of 2:30 today Midlo TRU had one V-Wing, two Sith Infiltrators, and like 8 of the brown Bantha pack. They are on an endcap towards the back of the store. They also had one case of the new comic 2-packs. I bought one of each and 2 of the Obi/Alpha one. I hid the 2nd Quinlan Vos one b/c i thought ILS would want it. He doesn't so here's where it is. If you walk down the aisle from the SW figs there's some wrestling rings one the bottom shelf. There's two rows of one in kind of a purplish box it's behind the second row of them towards the Mcfarlane figs. I had both the V-Wing and Infiltrator in my hand, but since they were $24.99 and i was getting the comic packs i put the Infiltrator back. The gimp mask thing that comes w/ Obi is OK but it would be much cooler if it was a whole alternate head. If someone is dying for my 2nd Obi/Alpha pack i'll probably part with it, i was positive ILS wanted this one but he doesn't. I think these will be pretty easy to come by in the next month or so, but if they're not i have one for someone. TRU west end will probably have all of these items tomorrow, if they didn't already have them today. That's usually the pattern. Happy Hunting everyone.

Went by the Ashland Wal-Mart this AM (my nephew had a soccer game out that way). They had one Sith Infiltrator and one V-Wing. I snagged the Infiltrator, kinda wish i hadn't paid $24.99 for the V-Wing Friday at TRU. The Wally on Mechanicsville had nothing, the Target across the street had 2 Tantive IV BPs for $9.98 (they are on an endcap). Didn't go anywhere else. Oh Yeah, TGaines if you still need the Titanium Classic Cylon Raider i snagged you one this AM (in Ashland). If you want to PM me we can figure out a time and place to meet up. If you don't need it anymore no biggie. I won't mind keeping it, it's by far one of the most well done Titanium ships. Happy Hunting everyone.

PM sent, thanks! Gotta good look at those Tusken BP's at TRU
and no doubt they rock but the price? Ouch! $24.95 is where they should be or even $29.99 but $44? I think these will be sitting on the shelves awhile.

[OutlawNukenin]

And you know-I am very okay with that. Don't get me wrong, I really would like a couple of Banthas on my shelf(I missed the earlier version), but right now, I'd rather pick up two V-Wings.

[iluvsnowtroopers]

Hey T - there's a Race for the Cure in Powhatan coming up, and my buddy said he's trying to get the 501st to make an appearance - do you think you could do it?
