Saw a few AOTC wave vintage at Ross yesterday. Mace and peasant Padme to be exact. Now if those TRU excl. packs would surface there or at TJ Maxx or Marshalls - wouldn't that be nice?

Given the recent Ross/Marshalls/TJ Maxx track record, it might only be a matter of time.Quote:

I have not found any of TPM figures or the Mandalorian Gunship from Clone Wars. (San Diego)
I have also not found the Human Alliance Soundwave, nor the Deluxe Soundwave or Que (Transformers).
Is Target the only store location that has stocked these? And did they break a street date by doing so?
Target Culver last night, nada. And Star Wars shelves were 80% bare.
They showed up at TRU, or at those liquidators?Quote:

TRU, I meant.
Right, ok. I figured that was it, but wanted to be sure. Thanks for the info. I wonder if they had the cases in the back or if they got product moved around from other stores.
Target CC again nada last night at midnight.
JT: are you going to count TPM vintage figures for the 2011 YIR?
Perhaps some people have them, and I don't know about Steve, but in 4 days, I'd say they are 2012 figures.
Looks like with multiples, and mostly because I'll buy triplicates of podracers and Naboo Guards, I'm getting 14 figures from a wave of 12 offerings from TPM. A good start. However, I'm not buying any of the Sith or Jedi figures in that go-around. But that's OK - the kids will.
Id count them 2012 id say. The shipping containers have do not open till jan 30th 2012 stamps on the side which i found amusing. Oh minimum wage target employees. I have a whole case unpunched i got a few weeks back and i have seen several more 6 of which cases were at the same target 4 days running. I know crunchy and bikerscout have gotten what they have needed too in that wave so its out there. Quite a bit. Also picked up 2 wedges online for 10 bucks eached shipped. they were first release so im happy.Quote:

WM Crenshaw - nothing.
TRU La Cienenga - Revenge Slave Leia (nearly all Hasbro brands are on mix-n-match B2G1 at TRU, but I didn't take advantage).
TRU Culver City - nothing of interest.
Target La Cienega - nada.
Target Culver City - nuthin'.
No, I have no intention of counting them, they had an intended Jan 30th street date, and while that's lifted, it's a week before the end of the year. That said, I do not see anything in that lot which makes me think they'll be noteworthy figures anyway.Quote:
