The Kohl's near me has an older wave and there $10

They're running a sale on their toys now, and things that are $9.99 are now $6.99.

I'd check again, to be sure.

Nice. I only go to BTVSFigs to read up on the Buffy comic these days. Sigh. I miss the days when DST first kicked off the line sometimes.

He used to be Spike here until recently

You guys might want to continue checking your local WMs too. I just walked out of my local one with Lando in Smuggler's Outfit and a blue Clone Officer.

Now if I get the Starkiller Hero, Concept Snowtrooper, the red Clone Officer, and the red Pit Droids, I'll be all caught up.

I just got the Tomy Darth Vader Real Action Doll. I haven't put him together yet but he appears to have a high level of articulation based off the Microman design. Anybody else have one? Now for a stupid question. I'm planning on going as Anakin Skywalker for Halloween and I'm curious about how to carry the lightsaber on the costume. Is there a holster or something that they make or does it come with the costume? I plan on going shopping this week.

Found a dark trooper on the floor at walmart none the less.
It has a gold coin with it as well.

Also found 4 blue clone troopers.

How common is it to find a galactic hunt figure?

Depends which one. I have found Chewie, Han, Animated Fett x 3, Airborne Clone x 3... so they are out there, but certain ones get picked up before others, thus making them rarer.

Got the lego tie-tank yesterday.

I was at TRU yesterday and stumbled on a SAGA '06 TIE with exclusive SCALED wings! it also had the Saga pilot instead of the toon'ish POTF2 version. Bought it without thinkin' twice. :grin:

P.S. Don't know if he's rare or not, but I also picked up Biggs DL.

Biggs with the cape is around in stores I've been too

The Tie Interceptor has always been my favorite Tie. So I couldn't resist when I found the TRU Exclusive, I now have it on display with my Lego Tie Interceptor.

It is sweet, isn't it. Although, I have always liked the Tie Bomber, and Shuttle better. :-?

I got the shuttle last xmas and the Tie Bomber is coming out I think to Target

I must grab the Interceptor

The Interceptor is totally worth it. I especially love the kill marks on the hull. My only complaint is that my wings fall out extremely easy. Anyone know a cure?

Also, if you guys are talking about the Saga Imperial shuttle, I think its amazing. Its one of the Top things I want really bad, along with the Endor AT-AT, 30th TIE Advanced X1, 30th TIE Bomber, SAGA X-wing, and, (Not really in the same category) 30th ANH Luke's FX Saber. Not to mention the new AT-ST Ultimate Batle Packs. If you guys don't mind, Which ones in my list do you think I should invest in first, based on a limited budget, and why?

by **inadvertent imitation** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 2:50 am

I'd go for the Ultimate Battle Packs first. I assume they'll be out around Black Friday like the Saga Shuttle was last year. They'll just be easier to get that way.

Though, everyone needs an AT-AT and I doubt those will outlast this holiday season. I can't speak for it, as I have two POTF2 ones and skipped the Saga release, but I've heard it's still a good buy.

Then again, the Advanced x1 TIE is only $20 and is a really fine example of toymaking even though it's already ten years old. I can see why this is a hard decision.

Found two Concept Snowtroopers tonight, as well as the rest of wave 6. I've counted it up, and I've spent about $110 on Star Wars toys since last Saturday. :shock:

I picked up a Sandtrooper today with a white pauldron

I heard these may be rare

That is a weird word. Is that the more dirty around the middle guy, light mud, less caked on, or is it vice versa?

You don't know what a pauldron is?

Anyways:

He is white no dirty sand stains

If it's still the same one I had when I was a kid with the retractable guns and firing missiles, it's definately worth $20. I think mine was $30 back in the day. I'd still have it, but I sold most of my Star Wars toys in High School to get money for Christmas shopping (vehicle-wise I only kept my AT-AT, the Falcon, and the Outrider).

Oddly enough the only vehicle I sold that I really, really miss now was the A-Wing.

News Credits: 26 · by **Wheeljack35** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 2:06 pm

I could of had the A wing but like I did with the snowspeeder recently I hesitated to long

by **Rogue.** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 4:47 pm

A pauldron is the shoulder guard the Sandtroopers wear. Never to be called a "shoulder pauldron," it's just a pauldron because the word implies it is something on the shoulder

It would be like saying "a hand glove."

Did you guys see the news about the upcoming General Gree figure? He's going to have ball & socket wrists and hips! It's about time they tried it out. I can't wait to get one and see how good it is

Hopefully Hasbro tries this with a Stormtrooper next. The VOTC ones have such girly hips, it's not funny.

The (incorrectly blue colored) Vader TIE was $20 when it came out in the POTF2 line. I'm still waiting for it to be released in its proper light grey color, like the TRU exclusive TIE Fighter that came out last year (back row, far right):
