I went out to a Walmart nowhere near me.....

I also saw the V-Wing and Sith Infiltrator for the first time this morning at a Walmart. Passed on them for now due to $$$ but would love to pick them up soon.

Nice little review, Spike.

[Wheeljack35]

Spike you must of been like a kid on christmas morning when you found the V wing

This is good news for me also this means that when you found it it is in our area

I will check out Walmart this weekend

[Rogue.]

Yeah, no kidding! I couldn't believe it. I just love the V-Wing... well, here are some pics of both vehicles, finally.

This is how I tend to put the landing gear:


Darth Maul (from the Sith Speeder set) in the cockpit... but...


The best way to get him in there is to turn his legs around ass-backwards




Wings retracted:


Wings extended:




The ass end of the V-Wing:


Like an X-Wing, I'm telling you...


For some reason it reminds me of a cartoon squid.




Interior of the cockpit. You can see the seat and some controls are painted... but not the screen?

[Darth Screamer]

Got the infiltraitor today as well, didnt see the v-wing which pissed me off. I found mine at trus.

[Dr. Caelus]

Wow, I'm digging that V-wing.

[omega wing]

Got some sweet things today got a limited editon darth vader meditation chamber which can lift his helmet on and off its really sweet only paid a fiver for it got it as a end of stock sale also got fro mwhere i work a bust ups set the limited editon bounty hunders set all the bounty hunters from empire srikes back and includes a limited editon vader in his chamber really looks cool set them up just like in the film

[Rogue.]

Oh yeah, forgot to say... the Infiltrator's landing gear can be easily popped out without breaking them. So you don't have to have them in place if you want to hang it from your ceiling or something.

[Cyber Bishop]

I normally don't buy the vehicles but those two are pretty sweet and may be worth my picking up.

[Wheeljack35]

Spike where did you find it?

Was it your Walmart or the Walmart on us 19?

[Rogue.]

I was in Homosassa Springs. WAY out of my way, lol.

[Wheeljack35]

Wave 2.5 is still coming in very slowly and no sign of the V-wing yet

[Homer]

Just to give me a comparison, how are the anniversary collection waves coming to you guys?

Down here, all of the stores got one large initial burst of wave one. Then everything dried up completely. Now, all of the stores have been getting mixed waves of the final Saga figs. I mean nothing but saga figs.

Not one sign of wave 2, not even anymore shipmets of wave 1. Now I hear of waves 2.5 hitting and wave 3 any day now.

How about in ya'll's neck of the woods?

[Cyber Bishop]

I saw the V-wing and Sith Infiltrator the other day at Wal Mart but passed on them.

[Darth Screamer]

Wave two has slightly hit, but not in total.

I doubt ill see three anytime soon, knowing the lovely stores around me.

Same thing here.

I've seen a few Walmarts and a K-Mart here in Missouri that had a handful of first wave anniversary characters - usually nothing but R2, Mace, and Obi-wan left.

The Walmart here in Rolla has yet to get any of the anniversary figures.

We're taking a trip to Colorado next week; I'm hoping to random sample walmarts or targets on the way in hopes of finding the Concept Trooper and Concept Fett.

[Wheeljack35]

Wave 2.5 comes in almost every two weeks

Man as soon as I see the V wing its mine

[Rogue.]

Yeah, I saw a ton of Wave 1 figures several weeks ago at one Walmart. Then nothing... until I saw a few Wave 2 figures at Target, but passed since I figured all the other stores would be catching up and stocking these. That's a joke because I've hardly seen any of Wave 1 or 2 lately, though I did pick up the Death Star Trooper that I saw in a Target a few days ago. This is getting ridiculous... I hope Hasbro stops with this "hall of fame" and "greatest hits" bullshit. It's fine to trickle out figures from older waves throughout the year, but releasing Episode 3 figures the year after they were out was the damned stupidest thing ever. The worst thing is that no one is clearancing the Saga Collection figures...

[Darth Screamer]

Hey Spike....

If you see two more(that arent for you) v-wings, could you be a dear and pick them up for me.....please .

Also any of you fellows seeing any mcq stomries anymore? Ive never seen on in stores and was wondering you could pick me one of those and a boba fett for your deal old buddy here.

[Wheeljack35]

DS you know you could of asked me and I could add these to the figures that your buying off me

[Darth Screamer]

DS you know you could of asked me and I could add these to the figures that your buying off me

I didn't know you saw them as well. Sorry bro. The more the merrier when it comes to mcq stormies. So if you wouldn't mind either and picking me up some as well.

[Wheeljack35]

lol dude you know I work at Target

[Homer]

While everyone is in the giving mood, if any extra's above and beyond your own and DS's needs are found, my son and I could use a couple of McBoba's and McStormies.....

[Wheeljack35]

I'll see what I can do

My store has been getting one case almost every two weeks

[Wheeljack35]

I picked up the V-wing today
