Indianapolis v3.0

[toyman]

I suppose we should start a third thread since I still have yet to hear back from Curto about the status of our request for an Indy based thread section.

And so it doesn't get lost in the move to the new thread, I'll mention ToddG's request for any carded Tie Pilot figure.

Post your Indy finds here-

-picked up the Ultra titanium series Anakins yellow starfighter today around 12 @ TRU in Castleton.

 

[Dr_Jedi]

Yeah, we seriously should have an official Indy thread by now. Hopefully it will come in the near future.

A quick update today, there are literally a zillion Order 66 figures at the W 38th St Target. Up by the cash register as always. If anyone is missing some or looking to do some army building, I recommend heading out that way tonight. Beyond that, the place is barren.

Now for some pure selfishness, I also am looking for someone local heading to C4 who can hook me up with some exclusive swag. Primarily I'm wanting the action figures, and perhaps some MR/GG items, depending what's there. Anyone willing to help, please PM me, and I will happily compensate you for your efforts.

Found one lone McQuarrie Concept Boba Fett at the Avon Target this morning. It was the only Wave 2 figure to be found and had his card not been buggered up, I doubt that he would have still been there. They also had some Wave 1 figures and the new Galactic Heroes sets. Most were gone by the time I went back to the store after work.

I also picked up an Ultra Titanium TIE Fighter at a TRU in Ohio over the weekend. They also had the Ultra Titanium Republic Gunship with the Clone Wars "shark mouth" deco.

 

[DarkcLord]

Noblesville Wally had a ton of the Saleucami battle packs and a few TAC 1 figures. No new vehicles. Sears Essentials was barren. Looks like they have not stocked since I found that TAC 1 wave about a month ago.

I see Dr Jedi's post about Celebration IV. Is anybody local going? I would have loved to have gone, but too expensive and not the family vacation my wife wanted.

 

[tk5175]

Hey looks like this is the place to be now!

I am looking for a TAC Boba Fett If anyone finds an extra in the indy area!

Thanks
Jason

 

[toyman]

Welcome back to the 'scum Jason!

 

[DarthAcroyear]

Targets in Avon, Nora, and East Washington St. all had the new Unleased figure packs and the new Galactic Heroes sets yesterday. No new ships or Wave 2 TAC figures.

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

Target in Avon had a few Wave 2 TAC figures. I managed to pick up a Han, Luke, and Death Star Trooper. The TRU in Greenwood had a couple of Bantha sets. The male and female Sand People were in different places in both sets.

Targets on East Washington St., 65 South and 38th ST had nothing new to speak of and South 31 and 135 had a mix of Waves 1 and 2 figures. The wave 1 were anything but Clones and the Wave 2 were Death Star Troopers. The figures at the Target on 135 all had their packages crushed or buggered up in some fashion.

 

[HobNoblet]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

Castleton mall area Target had a ton of the order 66 2 packs up front. Figure section in toy aisle was pretty bare.
Keystone walmart had nothing but obiwan and R2s. But they still have a lot of the speeder bike betrayal sets.

 

[toyman]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

TRU in Greenwood has plenty of the "Tan" Banthas as of this morning. No "red" ones yet.

 

[Randy_S]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

i had a good morning, found a mctrooper at the fishers target (must've been hidden stock, nothing else there)
then another one and a mcboba at the castleton tru
they had a few of the wave 2 figures left, several wave 1 troops, tons of the final tsc, and the bantha packs (no red)
neither taget in castleton or nora had anything new

 

[Guest]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

Picked up a TRU Bantha.
The Red/Rust version was the first release of these. The Tan is the corrected version.

Has anyone found the V-Wing or DM's Sith Infiltrator? I have been searching a few times a week and only see Tinn's starfighter, Vader's starfighter, TIE fighter, Hailfire Droid, and Trade Tanks.

I have heard a rumor that Target stores were told to pull the V-Wings and DM's Sith Infiltrators from the cases. I wonder if it is true?

 

[DarkcLord]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

I have had no luck finding either of the fighters either. They seem to have disappeared after a few sightings here and there. They will turn up eventually.

No finds today, but I did get my Ultra Titanium Tie, CW Gunship, and Anakin fighter today from ToysRus.com. Sad to see this line go. They look very good.

 

[MEANS]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

also picked up a Bantha at TRU (@ Castleton), it was the last one left and was the tan version, i haven't hear any reports of the red version being found yet.

i did pick up a v-wing at a target & left the sith infiltrator, that was a few weeks ago & i haven't seen either since

I doubt it very seriously. There might be someone who works at a Target that has been pulling the ships for friends or ebay but it's not a company wide policy.

 

[OleeStarstone]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

I checked Avon Target and Wal*Mart last night and didn't find a thing.

In other news...we made an offer on a house and it was accepted!

Also, I have a Galactic Marine coin and an Airborne Trooper coin if anyone is interested.

 

[HobNoblet]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

I went to the Ash comic con at the holiday inn this past Sunday. Few star wars figs but nothing great. One dealer did have the 2 McQuarries but he wanted 60 for both of them, that was triple my limit.

TieFi- if you have been reading the bi-weekly Hasbro Q&A's, you would know that the brown tribe Bantha set and the red tribe Bantha set are actually both intentional releases from Hasbro and there will be a running change released shortly. There is no corrected version on either of these.

As for this "rumor" you speak of, there is no way Hasbro would tell any store to pull either of these ships. They have alot of money invested in these brand new ship molds and we will probably be swimming in these in a few weeks once they get more heavily distributed into the pipeline.

You shouldn't fall victim to every random "rumor" you hear from other random collectors in the toy aisles. Most of these said "rumors" are complete nonsense made up by other random collectors looking for attention.

Sorry for the rant, just had some bad flashback memories!

Olee, congrats on the home! I have assisted many of the other collectors and fans around Indy in the purchase of their homes and it is always satisfying to know I am helping someone find a home for their collection. If you have a questions through the process, just let me know

 

[OleeStarstone]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

Thanks, toyman!

 

[Guest]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

toyman it seems that you know what you are talking about. That is cool. No I do not read those Q&A's anymore. It seems that people ask dumb questions all the time. It bores me.

I try not to listen to rumors but I have heard the Target one several times now. So it has me wondering.

For the Bantha sets I will not be picking up the red set. It is ugly in that color. I am happy with the regular color.

 

[toyman]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

TieFi- sorry if I came off as rude or a know-it-all there, that was not my intention at all.

In other news, I just found wave 2 of the comic packs at TRU in Greenwood. I picked up a set.

I also just received my SS EX PF Boba Fett from FedEx! The wait list thing really works!! I can't wait to get that thing home and open it

 

[BigDumbWookiee]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

Anyone here interested in a Master Replicas Snowspeeder? #1359, mint, complete and has original shipping box. $300 if you're near enough to meet me or for me to deliver it (whatever, as long as I dont have to ship it).

[toyman]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

Post a photo of what, the comic packs or the Fett?

Here is a photo of the comic packs with the Fett box-

I'll post a pic of Fett once I get him open and on display.

The Fett of course.
Did you by chance get that B&W Fett maquette?
I tried to win one in the raffle with no such luck.

 

[big_bad_bantha]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

Finally picked up a V-Wing at the Westfield Target this morning, left 2 Sith Infil's and 1 other V-Wing. And big ups to my boy Toyman for hookin me up with some McFetts and McStormies.

 

[toyman]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

No problem on the McFigs, Eric!

Jake, per your request, here are a couple of pics of the PF Fett:

His sensorscope is having some issues staying upright, but otherwise it is a great piece. And no I have not acquired a B&W maquette yet. I am currently on the hunt for one myself.

 

[Naptownsithlord]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

toyman that's very nice, i may have to sell my clones wars maquettes and get one.
if you don't mind me asking what is the price tag and that badboy?

 

[toyman]

Re: Misc. SW stuff to be Had

You have to go on the wait list to get the chance to buy the EX version, but my wait list reservation turned into a sale in a matter of a few days. Here's the link:

Store Update

W. 38th Street Target had one lone Death Star Trooper this morning. Plainfield and Avon Targets had wave 1 pegwarmers only. All three Targets had Tantive battlepacks for $13.98, Vader coin albums for $6.98 and Order 66 packs for full price.

The pics do not do this Fett justice. You guys have to see it in person to really appreciate it.

Re: Store Update

Found the Sith Infl and Vwing at the Target in Westfield this morning only had one of each. same on the discount stuff also.
There were also lots of the Galactic heros new wave at wally world

 

[OleeStarstone]

Re: Store Update

Southside TRU has no new figures but did have the Bantha packs, Eastside TRU had no new figures but had the Bantha packs and 2X Darth Vader's Sith Infiltrator. Both TRU's bantha packs were non-red raiders.

E. Washington Street Target had no new figures.

 

[OleeStarstone]

Re: Store Update

The Avon Wal*Mart has...I kid you not...15 Momaw Nadons. That's it. Fifteen of the same figure!
