I believe we hit the usual 10-page limit on the last one, so we can move on here......

Blight · Oct 23, 2009

No...I've never really been to amy type of comic and/or sci-fi convention. In fact---and most people find this shocking when I say it---I pretty much hate comics and any kind of sci-fi movies/shows etc. Always have. Besides Star Wars, nothing in the genre has ever managed to hold my interest for even the slightest moment.
Thus, unless there were an "Star Wars-only" type of convention, I would most likely not be found there.

Blight · Oct 24, 2009

You guys didn't miss much haha. I went and they had literally NO currents star wars or star wars booths. There was one booth with a bunch of MOC POTF2 for $3 and mixed in a found a Holo Sidious for the same price so that was cool.

Maynard · Oct 27, 2009

Wow, nothing going on in the area for the last several days huh? This is the quietest I've seen the local forums in quite some time.

Sol · Oct 27, 2009

It's been pretty pathetic around here. I went to Quincy WM last night and it was atrocious. Nothing new, old junk strewn about. Embarassing. Thank goodness for HTS. Really saves me from even bothering going on a hunt.

sHa_ckwave · Oct 27, 2009

Except if you can't be online during the day(s) when they hit HTS, like me, then you're S-O-L, and I don't mean you Sol.

Gotta love the latest Hasbro Q and A blaming the stores for this Saga Legends/Old Clone Wars/Old style Legacy carded crap mess. "Take down your store number and send it to us." Who wants to send them a list of every frickin' TRU, Walmart and Target in this area ? I mean one case of new legacy figs in 3 months is a joke. And still they ship more and more saga legends. Or "just shop online"... yeah, and if you're not online for a 1 hour window when HTS sells out of them, you get the privilege of paying ridiculous mark-ups from every other online retailer.

Still can't track down half the TPM wave, much less this new stuff.

Blight · Oct 27, 2009

Sommerville was worthless. Southbay had ROTJ remnants..

meanmarine · Oct 28, 2009

ive given up on finding the new comic packs with the vong and kryat

Anyone looking for an AT-TE for cheap should head to Marshall's in North Attleboro. I went in tonight to see what they had ... didn't see any Star Wars items until something caught my eye ... an AT-TE, in the box, for $59.99. The box looked fine, it seemed unopened, and the clone trooper was still included.

I know some will say, "Photos or it didn't happen" but if anyone is near that Marshalls, go check it out. While I have a camera on my phone, I haven't been successful in sending pictures from it.

I am an OT guy and have no interest in that (my big purchase was the BMF) but for that price I was considering getting it.

Oddly enough, I was just in TRU down the road and they had about 6-8 AT-TEs in the isle for full price.

Maynard · Oct 29, 2009

I always love to hear the stories about obscure items being found at (VERY) unexpected places, Always peeks my interest as in how they ever even got there to begin with, lol, if nothing else.

Jedi_Adrian · Oct 29, 2009

man nothing out there. so sad. but I was driving on a wild goose chase through Burlington so stopped by the Woburn TRU. tons of tie interceptor but at $50 pass..

Did pick up a comic pack with darth talon/cade skywalker..WITH LIGHTSABER! if anyone is looking they had 2 more there.

Blight · Oct 30, 2009

Like I said in the previous thread, if anyone sees this guy

pick him up for me and I'll be more than glad to meet up and compensate you greatly for your help. I'm trying to hit that crap revere walmart with a frequency seeing as he's a walmart exclusive and quincy doesnt carry the line.

Blight · Oct 30, 2009

Dedham TRU has the interceptor but otherwise it sucks

WHOLEWHEAT · Nov 1, 2009

Scored the new Ugnaught right out of the case at the Swansea Walmart this morning!

Maynard · Nov 1, 2009

What case is that shipping in?

WHOLEWHEAT · Nov 1, 2009

not sure of the revision number on the case, but it has the ROTJ wave, along with a Scuba Trooper, Seleucami Clone Trooper and a Blue ARC Trooper ( and grey Ugnaught )

indysolo007 · Nov 1, 2009

Picked up the gray Ugnaught at Target.

Sol · Nov 1, 2009

Sorry for the late post but I found remnants of the new comic packs tonight at Southbay Target. It was during closing, saw only Luke/Deena & Borssk/Wedge. Should still be there in the AM.

They've been there a few days. I've been hitting Targets in Salem, South Bay, Everett, Sommerville and Watertown almost daily with all this new stuff shipping

BLIGHT - I hit 3 WMs yesterday and they didn't have the Joker (all South Shore). I'll keep looking.

indysolo007 · Nov 2, 2009

Found the grub today at tru. Not paying that price so I'll wait until target gets it!

thanks a lot for checking man!

Maynard · Nov 3, 2009

Finally found the Geonosis Attack BattlePack (or whatever the name is------I simply call it the Gunship Pod, plain & simple)-------they had 2, which I wanted, but I only grabbed one because I also had planned on picking up a Lars Homestead and they were running (relatively) low on those, so I kinda divvied up my money & finally got a Lars Homestead which I had passed on for months & months now. I'm happy with it, it was worth the 30 bucks I suppose(the homestead, I mean)

Vader4Life · Nov 3, 2009

Walmart in raynham, MA had 3 of the Dewback w/ Stormtrooper at $30.00...weird price for Wal-Mart I thought...Oh well...tell ya, either Wal-Mart ordered less or their exclusives sell very weel. They had 10 on Sunday and 3 left today...

Maynard · Nov 3, 2009

Went to Framingham WalMart today looking for the DewBack(not to be found, btw). Most of you who have frequented that store over the past several months, however, probably noticed that Luke/Deena Shan(both in Imperial Officer Uni's) Comic Pack laying around for quit some time, all beat up & taped together. Well, Ive wanted this set for quit some time just to have some extra Imperial officers in the mix and since the box was all beat up, I took it up to customer service and asked if they could do me any kinda of discount. Long story short, they gave me the 2-pack for 8 bucks even(for 2 figs, not bad at all!!), thus I took it.

Blight · Nov 3, 2009

Stashed a Darth Krayt comic pack at south bay in the super hero aisle behind some power rangers thing on the bottom shelf next to a large toy story set. Go go go.

the ROTJ wave minus leia and the ewoks is on the pegs too

LOL! We must've just missed each other as I saw the same thing. Also saw the comic packs and said to myself, "Where the hell is the Krayt comic pack?!" No worries though, already had it for a few weeks after ordering from HTS.

iluvsnowtroopers · Nov 4, 2009

So I found ROTJ wave in Stoughton Target last night. Bought Giran, Pannano and Nikto Gunner - these are fantastic figures. Very well made. Noticed a repack of the Scuba trooper - looks great on the new card. Anyone spotting the Ugnaught?

indysolo007 · Nov 4, 2009

I got my gray ugnaught at the target in danvers.

Vader4Life · Nov 4, 2009

Wife called to say the ANH & ROTS wave from HTS.com arrived today. Found the 3 re-packs from the ROTJ wave at Target in Stoughton, MA today. All I need is the Uganaut & Imperial Scanner dude and I am caught up until the ESB wave drops

sHa_ckwave · Nov 5, 2009

AT-STs are out here... about 10 left in Bellingham, 20 in Woonsocket.

Anyone spot the Dewbacks in decent quantities around here ? I know i've missed them locally at several stores already. Army builders...

Maynard · Nov 5, 2009

Yeah I've been searching left & right for Dewbacks, not a one to be found. Do you guys think they'll be in a special special section again a la the Octuptarra Droid?

Vader4Life · Nov 6, 2009

Target in Milford, MA has #13-#28 in the Legacy in stock, pretty plentiful as well. Picked up the Uganaut I needed, left everything else.

indysolo007 · Nov 8, 2009

Picked up a dewback at walmart in avon. No at st in the area as of yesterday.

Indy---Was the Dewback in the regular SW area, or was it sectioned off like the Octuptarra Droid is?

Maynard · Nov 8, 2009

indysolo007 · Nov 9, 2009

regular sw aisle. It was on the shelf under the figures. That avon walmart has a craptastic selection usually. Was shocked that they had things before abington.

rookie_pilot · Nov 9, 2009

Walmart in North Attleboro had 6 AT-STs. No Dewbacks.

TRU down the street had 7 McQuarrie box set #1 and 6 of #2.
