I know man, but the fact they were there, made me feel as if they are cursed or something.
And only people that live in Mom's basement know about curses, I need a read!

:awesome:

Broadway TRU had the ROTJ Deleted scenes wave this morning. I was hoping for a Gamorean but I'm not that lucky I guess. They also had the latest Marvel Universe Team sets if anyone else collects those- X-men with Rogue, West Coast Avengers, Inhumans. Speedway Walmart, East Broadway Target and Grant Target had nothing at all as far as SW, Marvel, or GI Joe.

DutchVander · Apr 1, 2013

Does Kithaba have a red bandana? If so I'm interested in him and the Gamorrean and possibly the Y-wing. How much was retail on that y-wing? Its been to long that I don't remember.

clonehead · Apr 2, 2013

I have two Kibi's both gray though.
Ywing I got at a discount so it's 40 with the figures or 35 without.

also, Target 3-packs and Dewback are all retail clearance, so asking 15$ for each.

DutchVander · May 22, 2013

Got the Endor AT AT AT Oracle TRU today. Checked Broadway and they didn't have it but they called Oracle and they had one. Now that I have it I'm on the fence about keeping it- $142 after tax is a little too steep but I love the ROTJ box.

Found some of the little Black series at Target this afternoon- Vader and Biggs. Rest were gone. Nothing else, no 6 inch.

Thanks for the report. Glad to hear that they are hitting Targets as well, I have some gift cards

Raziel · Jul 24, 2013

Found both entire black series waves at TRU this morning. Picked up only the sandtrooper from the 6", but all 8 of the 3.75". Even qualified for the BOGO half off (I never get good timing like that).

domino · Jul 25, 2013

Long time no post for me, but my interest in the Black line has brought me back. TRU on Broadway are now sold out of the 6" and 3.75 figures. They had a 3.75 Anakin when I first walked in but he was gone when I was leaving. Targets on Broadway and @Craycroft and Old Spanish Trail had nothing but the old stuff they have had for almost a year now.

Edit:Went back to the Spanish Trail Target to pick something up around 4:30 and they had almost a full case of 3.75 inch figures laying on the shelf. No shelf tag so someone must have had it brought out.

Rinzler7 · Jul 27, 2013

Greetings all! I just moved to the Vail area from Dover DE. I was out and about and saw a Black Series Anakin at the Tucson Spectrum Target (still learning my way around). I picked up the Transformers. That kinda bums me out about the Broadway TRU as I stopped by there this afternoon in hopes to seeing the Black series (I did walk about with a Halo Mega Bloks set). I do hope that I can meet/work with some of you to help fill our collections. Take care!

DutchVander · Jul 28, 2013

Welcome to the board! I work out in Vail and sadly there's really not much out there as far as toy hunting goes. Hopefully we will see you around town at some point.

DutchVander · Aug 2, 2013

Picked up the 6in Black Series at Old Spanish Trail Target on my way home today. They weren't out on the shelf, but I gave them the DCPI and they pulled them from the back for me.

DogPoopWalker · Aug 3, 2013

I only collect vintage SW, but it's awesome to see some fellow Tuscon raiders on here!

I didn't find out about that last toy show we had until the day of and I was kicking myself.

Nezquick · Aug 4, 2013

Haven't really found much of anything recently. Only Anakin and the Scout Trooper (#3 & #7). Called Target and said they are trying to clear current inventory and reading for the Fall. I did manage to get the Boba and Han in Carbonite piece. Look's great on the shelf!

Anyone buy any books recently?? I just picked up Crucible and Mercy Kill.

Nezquick · Aug 7, 2013

Hey all,

Anyone here considering Celebration Anaheim? I've been to C5 and C6 so I definitely will be going to this next one.

McCsith · Aug 7, 2013

I'll be going!!

Nezquick · Aug 7, 2013

Sweet I will see you there. Maybe we can plan a meet up of some type or go out and eat. We have a while to plan haha

Nezquick · Aug 8, 2013

McCsith, I just picked up that X-Wing! Last one on the shelf. Thanks for the tip!!! BTW, there are a few RPG games out now for Star Wars. I've seen one in the Star Wars section at Barnes and Noble on La Cholla.

The Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG is the title if I'm not mistaken.

DarthUPSdriver · Aug 14, 2013

Just saw Manny owner of Toys Inc in the parking lot loading a case of X wings into his car. Those will be 5X the price in his store lol

They are the worst. Especially that shop. One of the reasons why its been difficult to find anything on the shelves for awhile.

Back on Topic, I picked up the only TVC X-wing from TRU on Broadway yesterday. They still had two TVC AT-ATs.

Nezquick · Aug 16, 2013

Shops like that are annoying. At least try and compete and make collectors WANT to go to your store.

Anyway, just played my first X-Wing Miniature game with the gf. She won -______- lol

GalacticMarine · Sep 12, 2013

El Con Target has full set of 6' Black Figs.

Nezquick · Oct 1, 2013

Hey all! I'll be moving to Phoenix October 6th and I'd like to say thank you all for helping my addic... collection

. I'll still linger around the Tucson boards since I have some fam there still.

BTW GalacticMarine, you helped me finish my Wave 1 Series lol. Thx pal

You are welcome. Good luck in PHX!

TRU on broadway has the TVC Gunship for 110!!!!!! I would of picked one up but for that price they can rot on the shelf.

DutchVander · Oct 7, 2013

Picked up the Jedi sets at TRU Broadway tonight. $86 for both was a little steep though. They also had the Vintage X-wing and Vintage Gunship but prices were too high as Galactic Marine stated above. I remember when the Gunship was $30 way back when ROTS came out and just can't bring myself to pay $120 + tax for it. I don't think its value has gone up 4X in 8 years.

DutchVander · Oct 17, 2013

Spoke with K-mart today. The Ewok/scanning crew sets were only put on order yesterday and since none show in their warehouse, it will be a minimum of 3 weeks before they get them if they get them at all- even though they have shelf space for them now.

DarthUPSdriver · Oct 19, 2013

They told me that someone came in and already bought the entire case this week.

GRRRRR!!! So sick of Scalpers in this area. Having issues finding the new Marvel Universe figures for the same reason. Cases coming from the back rooms of target with the new figures already pulled and the carry forwards left. Driving me nuts.

Found the Ewoks at Kmart this morning. They showed up as available last night online so I put in an order (third time) figuring it would probably get cancelled. I stopped by and was surprised to see they had them on the shelf. I'm guessing the scalpers left this case because everything was totally smashed. I picked up the best of the bunch. If my online order doesn't get cancelled again, I will have an extra if someone needs it.

No Scanning Crew sets.

LOL, I just saw the crushed exclusive sets at K-Mart. All I can say to who ever did it is, You mad bro? You think destroying items is going to stop people from scalping them? I get most of my stuff from the backroom pulled by employees. They never touch the floor. What an idiot.:awesome:

Please crush on! You're doing Gods work.

I think they got crushed during shipping BEFORE they came out of their shipping box from what it looked like to me. I seriously doubt anyone smashed them on purpose. What I meant was the reason they stayed on the shelf unlike the two prior cases was because they got smashed and are therefore harder for the scalpers to re sell for a profit.

No, they were smashed by someone. Look at the way they are crushed. If they were smashed from shipping, they would fit together with the same flow of damage. These were handled and crushed individually. And, there's alot of people looking for these. Not just scalpers. Doesn't matter. I talked to a Co-Worker in Cali and he shows tons are on the way from the distribution center.

Btw, I heard the old man Carl got escorted out of Toys R Us for harassment.
