VA/DC/MD Finds

[jonthejedi]

MM74MD...this will interest you...and the winner is...Toys R Us(shock!). I got reports from calling around that many Baltimore area Toys R Usss's got in either Lando skiff wave or Yavin wave within last 24 hours...and most sold out ie: Columbia, Pulaski Hwy. & Glen Burnie. Speaking of Glen Burnie...they put out almost 3 cases of throne room Luke/Vader/hoth snowtrooper wave...but I knew they were expecting 80 some figures per their computer, so I paid them a 2nd visit & scored Lando & Holo Luke. Called Columbia, and they only had Capt. Antilles(nice enough to hold for me) left. Laurel had nuthin', I don't know about the others. Hope this helps, because the free figure when you buy three still holds till 2/29. Good luck on Tanus! If I can nab two, I'll hold one for you. Happy hunting! Bad news: someone either ripped off my Star Wars Insider in transit, ot it got routed wrong...it was a no-show for issue #74.

They seem to be backing off on the aliens for some reason.

It seems counterintuitive, but background aliens really seem to stink up the pegs sometimes. Consider how long the Duro or the Cantina Aliens or Jabba's Skiff Guard three packs, or the Special Edition guy with the fake legs whose name escapes me sat. Guess the kiddies really do prefer core characters and imperials.

Clinton WM - Throne Room wave
Clinton TRU - lots of Lego markdown, some as low as $1.90

Kingstowne TRU - got the last Bar2 and Luke, no R1 (where is he?)

South Glen Burnie WalMart on Crain Hwy. got in Jabba ultra wave again & another case of throne room Luke/Vader, Hoth, etc...nuthin' new. North Glen Burnie WalMart was supposed to get a case of figures last nite. If they were Lando/Yavin wave...they never made it to the pegs. The Phantom Scalper struck again! Right off the pallets...which were still in the toy aisle this am.

Thanks Jon, I got the last Holo Luke. They also had a Unleashed Clone Trooper left. I was able to get a decent free figure as well.

Down on the Eastren Shore this weekend and the Salisbury TRU had the Holo Luke wave as well.

North Glen Burnie WalMart(Chesapeake Ctr.) put out Chewie Unleashed wave this am...all 3 still there. Also some 12" Garindan wave. They were supposed to get a box of figures, but it appears someone scalped 'em off the pallet before they were moved to the back...so I don't know what was in the assortment. Glad I could help in some small way, Skyward. A little old lady nabbed a Rapertunie & J'Quille for her grandson...which I'd rather see than a scalper grab who doesn't even love Star Wars.

Gaithersburg TRU had J'Quille, Rapper, Lando & Holo Luke this afternoon. No sign of R1.

R1G4 is not repeated in that assortment...even though Jabba's Palace Luke w/cloak & barR2D2 are.

The stores by me have not had the r1 wave yet. They should be packing out new toys this week as there shelves were empty over the weekend. If I un across a couple I will pick up a few for you guys.
