I'm in the Metro Detroit area, and I have yet to see Aurra Sing, Lando, and the Sandtrooper, among others. I go into stores and see tons of lame-*** figures like Ketwol and Duros...but no Lando. Every store seems to have a bunch of Bespin guards...but no Lando. The other day, while on a casual store visit, I swung by the toy aisle...and found it filled with SHMI. WHAT THE HELL? I'm sure someone's been wanting this figure, but why, I don't know. Mixed in with those future pegwarmers was new Basketweaving Obi-Wan with Basket (otherwise known as Training Obi-Wan...like a helmet is going to protect you while you're lightsaber fighting). Ech. How the heck is it that I can find endless fodder figures like the Bespin Guard and none of a main character like Lando Calrissian?!

In Australia we are up to the Ketwol wave which is out now and the Sandtrooper wave is also out if you can find it

I have everything except for the last wave. I still need Shmi, Vader, Han, Luke, and Ben. The Tie as well, but i do not think i will be picking that one up.

I've got all up to the Duros wave, plus Duros (meaning I do not have the entire Duros wave). Have seen the Ketwol wave at shops for too much, so I'll wait.

I'm buried in the Ketwol wave right now. Sheesh, it seems my locol Toys R us can't get enough of them. And they'll pay for it, cause here in a month they won't be able to sell them.

In the Dallas/Fort Worth area we await the Vader/Shmi, et. al. wave anxiously, still no sign. I did see a Shmi at the Toy Show today (boy is she pale!) but it was not marked and I was not going to pay scalper prices.
Still no sign of the TIE Interceptors here either, except a the toy show today. I really feel sorry (not) for the scalper with 30 (yes, that is thirty!) B-Wings at $50 each. I spent all last week seeing almost half that many between about four or five Target stores, at regular prices. That's going to be a hard sell!
I'm hopeful I can find an Interceptor so I'll have something to trade for the Bomber which I will almost certainly be unable to find."Does the name "Dingo" mean anything to you?" - Jedi Boulton to DingoDad at the October Dallas ComiCon.

We're up to date here and the Shmi / Vader wave was here 2 weeks ago. Interceptor is here too.
