L.A. area Just Found

Nothing SW at Target this morning besides a Padme Evo set--which has actually been there for days--with the AOTC Padme swapped with the TSC Droid Factory Padme, not even IN the tray, and a Saleucami Clone with droid part but an AT-TE Gunner Clone w/o harness or extra helm in the tray. I pointed 'em out when I checked out (with Spiral & Spidey from the Red Hulk wave of Legends) but I dunno if they'll do anything about it.

How's it going? Haven't heard from you in a while. Everything ok for the most part? We never got together, still gotta do that.

Man, I cannot keep up, all my sightings are from like a week ago.

i saw the tank gunner swap too Toon. Very annoying, since i'm lookin for Saleucami clones anyway. According to commtech, swaps don't happen that often at that Target

**toonimator** · 10-21-2008

Not that often, but they DO happen. Prior to those two was a Slappy ROTS Anakin, with red-saber meaning it was the early 2005 release rather than the Dooku-sabered later ones, packed in the CW Anakin bubble with CW's accessories, on a CW Yoda card.

There's another I forgot to turn in this morning, pretty sure it's still there from last week: y'know those WWII figures next to the Joes? And how TRU & WM have a similar series from a different company, on olive green cards (Ultimate Soldier or whatever it's called now)? Someone swapped one of the TRU/WM ones, tray included, with a Target German. At first I thought they finally had a new batch, but noticed the extra swappable posed arms & legs, a hallmark of the TRU/WM variety, as well as the distinct hip articulation. There was an odd belt stuffed in one part of the tray, and I can't recall if he had a hat or helmet but at a guess I'd say that's what was SUPPOSED to be in that part of the tray. All other accessories appropriate to THAT figure seemed to be there. So it's not just Joes & SW targeted by that swapper.

Not at that store, but at another Target about a week ago, I saw a couple Sgt. Flashes on the Joe pegs... except one of them was Grand Slam from the Night Specter exclusive set. Oy.

Glendale Target had a few Saleucami clones the other day.

My friend got me the Galactic Heroes Skiff right before he expected me to begin my stay in the hospital. I haven't opened it yet, but it's very cool to have it. I love the way it looks boxed.

I've yet to find Karrde and Thrawn (comic pack), but over than new figures, I think I'm caught up.

I just got my GI Joe w10 order from HTS this morning, for those who ordered it recently, be on the look-out.
