L.A. area Just Found

[JediTricks]

My condolences to you and your family, JT. The passing of a grandmother is no small matter. I lost two grandparents 30 days apart a summer ago and it still weighs on me.

Thanks. Unfortunately, more bad news has come in, my uncle died unexpectedly this week. I've been too busy to do any figure-hunting lately due to that sort of thing, hence the lack of responses here.

Goodness gracious, JT! I've had those when-it-rains-it-pours periods before. I send my good wishes and thoughts your way.

I saw the Target exclusives Landspeeder and Tauntauns (with 2 figures, and just in the box), but passed. I did get a Death Star Escape Luke only for its Fett mail-away form.

If I'm paying that much, I want his mouth-butts properly on-kilter.

Quote of the year!!! Golden.

Sorry for your loss JT. A friend of a friend, whom I had met once, died this week as well in her sleep. Very sad.

JT, we talked on the phone, but I hope you're hanging in there.

Today I arrived at Target at 8:03 am and I just missed a Seripas. They got one new case of CW and I saw another collector walking around with it. He's a cool guy and it was his first. I'm looking for my 2nd Seripas, so it's fair (though I did consider beating him up and stuffing his body behind the diapers in the toiletry section and escaping with his Seripas figure, but I did not).

You have to get there before the store opens!

I've no finds lately but my sympathies to you and your family, JT

[darkagent]

My sympathies JT.

For anyone still collecting DC Universe Classics, the Target exclusive S.T.R.I.P.E. wave is hitting right now. I was also able to pickup a 2007 Lego Y-Wing from Burbank Target today for $5. It was covered in a coat of dust. Looks like it was stashed and forgotten and just recently found by an employee.

Latest set of Target exclusives have hit the SFV. Left behind 2 Landspeeders and a Search for Luke at NoHo. Nothing left at Burbank.

Nothing special to report finding, but I went to Frank & Sons for the first time last Sat. Pretty big place. Didn't find anything ultra amazing, but the newest of the new was there -tlc wave 8 & 9 and new CW, although the prices weren't great. Also met up with Deathstardroid and Rogue Leader (of deathstarplans2.net fame) and hit up a smattering of OC comic shops and a target which had the new Tauntaun single pack. One of the stores was Phat Collectibles (i think). Ok place.
Man, so many movies/BR I want out now, but can't afford. CW season 3, Thor, Capt. America, Green lantern, SW BR, etc.

[Tycho]

Captain America is out? I want to get that one.

Cowboys and Aliens, by any chance?

[bikerscout]

Yeah Tycho. Cap dvd & blu came out yesterday. Not a lot of exclusives except Bestbuy has some vintage comic packaging on the back of the bluray box i think. I'll probably catch flack for this, but i want the new Coldplay album as well and will probably grab that at Target tomorrow. Best price. If Thor BR ever goes on sale at Fry's for $16 or lower, I'll probably cop that too. Hard to look at the ads though, b/c i don't get the newspaper regularly
