Thanks. I guess I know where I'm going on my lunch break today. :D

A bit off-topic, but has anyone around here (Utah County) found any LOTR "trilogy" figures. All I ever see is empty pegs at Wal-Mart and Target. They have been labeled for these figures for a month,...

I saw a couple of Orn-fritos and Chancellor Palpatine at Wal-Mart (Springville) yesterday. Even the chaos of Black Friday cannot save them from their fate as eternal peg-warmers.

Yeah, it's been a while. Up until about two months ago I hadn't even seen a new figure this year, so my interest was pretty low. Seeing all these new non-rehash figures gets me excited again.

On Saturday, the Springville Wal-Mart had some stuff I hadn't seen before (forgive me for not remembering the character names):

-Lars homestead Padme
-Yoda w/ youngling
-"You wanna buy some...

I went to the Provo Town Center again yesterday and they had all the Playskool sets, minus the Millenium Falcon, and they were taking 20% off at the register. They also have a sign for 50% off...

I stopped by KB at Provo Town Center this afternoon. They have a few of the Playskool XWing and Naboo Fighter sets if anyone is still looking for them. They took 20% off at the register, though I...

The only new figure they had left Saturday was a Padme (which I bought). Nice figure too, but it's a good thing it came with a stand. Mine can't stand up on its own.

Saturday, Springville: I found the trash sets and the latest deluxe figs (flipping Ani, speeder Clone, Geonosion with large pile'o'poop). Finally. Now I can give toy hunting a rest for a while.

Never mind. I went this morning (Orem Wal-Mart) and they were already cleaned out except for one Han/Luke set. Unfortunately it was pretty beat up, but even worse, some jerk had stolen the Luke and...

Did they have very many of the Trash sets?

Tom

Hey MC, disc 2 does indeed have the original movie.

I bought a Dooku there last Wednesday, and they had the posters. It seems that the guys who work the video game registers are a lot more knowledgable that the regular cashiers, and that is where they...

Orem TRU usually has a few rebel troopers (they had several on Sat.).

I found Zam and the preview R2 at K-Mart in Provo a few days ago. I'm not impressed with Zam. The articulation is crap, her head is too small, and she is barely able to hold her guns. The droid is...

A bit off-topic, but does anyone know where to find a Lord of the Rings "Strider" figure (besides eBay/scalpers)? TRU seems to be the only place getting Lord of the Rings figures any more, and...

I found them at K-Mart about a month ago. They're long gone now, but I assume they'll be back (probably at Target for $16 each).

I'll buy whatever I think is cool from the 3.75" line, including the beasts.

From what I've seen so far, that means I won't be spending much $$$ on SW toys this year.

...12" Dewbacks at the Orem TRU! Only $80!...

Sorry. This thread has been quiet for a while. I just wanted to wake it up.

I dropped by the Orem Wal-Mart last night and found a couple sets of Han/Chewie and Luke/Leia. Not bad figures, but not good enough to make me want to part with $30 of my hard-earned money. They're...

I've become pretty selective about what I collect now. If it's a figure I really like (and I can find it at retail), I'll buy it. If not, no big loss. I figure, rather than fill those "holes" in my...

Who cares if they're in it? Heck, give them speaking roles. It won't affect the quality of the acting much. I'm being a bit sarcastic, but Ep.1 had quite a few big-name actors, and only one (Ian...

I picked up Leia and Amanaman at K-Mart in Provo ($10). I haven't seen anything else of interest for a while.

My cousin told me he found all four of the Deluxe figures at Target (Orem) last week. I guess that means we will all have a shot at Leia and Amanabananaramaman before Christmas.

I won't be going because I can't imagine it being worth the cost. Now, if they were having it in February in Hawaii...:D
