When they repack the k-troops for the LC, they better fix the paint apps on the visor. Those idiots. Why do wave 5s suck?? TAC wave 5 - never saw pre-cyborg Grievous or Revan or Malak EVER at any store and SL wave 5 -never have seen the shadow troopers or covert ops thus far. Probably never will.

Wow, I've seen those particular wave 5 figures at Burbank TRU even!

TRU and maybe even WM would be the most likely places to search for SL wave 5. I had the Covert Ops stashed a few days ago but no one responded.

Nothin new at Burbank Target... just bought the least-crappy Wolverine/Psylocke Superhero Squad pack and 4 of those Target WWII soldiers (3rd plain-helmet German and 3 US) for more Indy accessories & shelf fodder

I figure if Hasbro ever makes an Indy with an automatic, like he used in Marion's bar in Nepal, it'll probably be huge like the pistols Irina and most Joes have, so the WWII US pistol'd be perfect for him... and it is! Plus there's shovels & maps & such that'll go nicely with "fanfic" scenes of his time in the war, helpin the troops find some relic or whatever.

Yeah, but how do you make the figure switch between the pistol and the revolver edit by edit like they did in the film?

Finally found something worth buying at the Toys R Us sale at Los Feliz.

Cairo Swordsman (with REALLY good paint, I'd only seen him a couple of times and he was always a mess.)

Mutt w/ Jacket (seeing the film made me actually want this guy, plus I have actually met Shia socially a handful of times so it was amusing to pick up a figure of somebody I've broken bread with. I may be a bit biased, but I thought he did a solid job in the flick.)

Indiana Jones w/Idol (Okay, I was on the fence about this guy as I have soooooo many Indys at this point. With five of 'em, half my collection is Indy's and the holster is silly. But I wanted the properly scaled fertility Idol and the the mask pack in as well. Both are really cool and I have no regrets.)

Still DESPERATE to get a basic Marion. And a Cemetery Warrior. Neither of these were on the shelves sadly.

Passed on a Irina and a Ugha Warrior as there wasn't a third figure I wanted bad enough. Hope to find a Marion soon. Getting frustrated.

Burbank TRU has a bunch of Wii consoles in stock. They also have their full Wall-E display out (in a back endcap). I was tempted to get the $39.99 remote controlled version, but I waited too long in line and decided to pass. There are either not enough characters in this movie, or this new company has no idea what to do with variants- there are way too many variants of Wall-E, and almost no other characters besides EVE- which I don't like as a toy.
