Force of July Finds

[III]

Kirkwood Wal-Mart had 3 cases of the AotC wave as of 11pm tonight. I grabbed one of each except for Beru and Owen since I got them from HasbroToyShop.com. Hope this helps!

Kirkwood Target has the Evolutions on clearance. Lots of FU, Sith (Bane), and Imp Pilots 1.

[MaceWinfield]

HWY K (O'Fallon) WM had the latest Legacy Wave. I picked up Obi and the Clone Pilot yesterday. I didn't see the concept Ani, but I wasn't looking for him, either.

Not a fan of the hip joints on Obi. They stick out kinda funny and one of them is loose.

[rosemaster]

Got Beru, Owen and Typho at the Kirkwood WalMart last night. The only other new one they still had was the ARC Trooper. Fenton WalMart and Target had nothng new.

[obidad]

anyone checked out the Manchester, Chesterfield Valley, St. Charles Rock Rd Walmarts? thinking about checking them 2nite.

[Cryostar1177]

Not here. I hit south county target last night. They had 1 rancor, that's about it. 2 Evolutions set on clearance, but @ 15 bucks still, I'll wait.

They did have the older GI Joe stuff on clearance, and the new GI Joe stuff out on 3 end caps.

I picked up a Rancor set at Target in Cave Srings last Friday.
I really like it. It will be a fantastic addition to the collection.

[MaceWinfield]

Did you get the "frosted" one, or the newer, brown one? I need to check out the new one and see which is more accurate. I might be pulling an elaborate packaging swap, as my "frosted" one is open.

I agree that it's a nice piece. I'm glad I started collecting beasts and vehicles later, so I didn't have to justify buying the "new and improved" one after already owning the POTF one.

[hoth rebel]

Well the one I got is brown.
I dont know the difference between them though.

Hasbro is saying the AOTC wave has been cut back due to the pegs being clogged with ESB and older waves. That coupled with the package changeover will make this a scarce wave. If you are relying on retail stores, don't pass them up, you may never see them again.

[rosemaster]

I got the new Titanium Hyena and Xanadu tonight at Fenton WalMart. Nothing else new. However, the stock guy said they had some new SW in the back with a shelf date of July 11 on them. Could this be the new WalMart exclusive Evolutions sets (or whatever in the heck they're called)? Anybody know of anything with a July 11 shelf date?

Are the ESB figures really clogging the pegs? I've only seen a handful of them at retailers around KC.

The only thing I recall being specific to a July 11 shelf date is the GI Joe ROC merchandise. They changed that and put stuff out a week early at Target & TRU but I would'nt expect too much from Walmart, they usually don't get stuff out too quick. (Although they got the Transformers out pretty quick)

The Evo sets were scheduled for in store in Sept. according to the Hasbro TF slide presentation, but pics from China have been showing up on Rebelscum so who knows.

[MaceWinfield]

Manchester WM had new diorama-packaged vehicles (all 4, including CW tank) this morning.

[Cryostar1177]

Went by SoCo Target last night. Not much new. Some new packaged legends stuff, 1 R5-D4 RC droid and 1 Hoth Scout Battle pack.

If you collect the Justice League 3 3/4" figures, they're all on clearance now, figs are 4.98, packs are 8.98.

[rosemaster]

I hit the Kirkwood WalMart and Target and Sunset Hills TRU tonight. WalMart had a #50 from the AOTC wave (regular Anakin, not concept), Target had nothing but a MM Tarkin for 30% off, and TRU had one set of the new Titaniums. It's a vast wasteland out there.

[obidad]

I hit the Chesterfield Valley WM last weekend (actually the first store I went to look for the AOTC wave) and found them. I had almost ordered from hasbrotoyshop.com, but decided to look for them once. I'm pretty happy with them.

[MaceWinfield]

I hit the Chesterfield Valley WM last weekend (actually the first store I went to look for the AOTC wave) and found them.

Were there multiple cases/any left after you got yours?

[obidad]

Were there multiple cases/any left after you got yours?

At first, I wasn't even sure I'd find one of each, but I know I saw multiples of Captian Typho, Tarados Gon & Obi-Wan and I'm pretty sure about Beru & Owen. I don't recall seeing a 2nd Anakin.

[rosemaster]

I've found all of them except the concept Anakin. Someone is obviously grabbing them up to sell on eBay. Hard to imagine they would need them for army builders. Kirkwood WalMart had a couple of new cases out, with pretty much everything but the concept Anakin.

[MVader]

dammit.... been looking and looking just interested in the ARC and the concept Anakin, havent seen them at all here in Springfield, have only seen everything else in outlaying areas, and now that wave has been cut back....just wonderful

[patm]

They haven't been here either, but that's not surprising.

[rosemaster]

I hit the Kirkwood Target and WalMart and Sunset Hills TRU this morning. Nothing new that I could see. They did have one of the R2-D2 remote control droids at the Target, but I'm just not dropping $17 for one of them.

[Tandro]

Starting tomorrow, Toys R Us has the AT-TE for $49.99. The Mid Rivers store had at least two on the shelf as of Thursday. They also had a BMF, but I didn't check the price and it's not listed in the ad as being on sale.

[rosemaster]

I looked at one at a TRU earlier this week and it was still $159.99.

[CHEWIE]

If you're looking for the AT-TE on sale, go to Sunset Hills TRU. A buddy and me picked up the only two we saw at South County, then went to Sunset Hills and they had a pallet full of them.

[emmaleia]

Found a Tarodos Gon & Typho at Columbia, MO Target. Hit 5 retailers in the Columbia/Jeff City area, this was all I found. Also looking for a Brownie Rancor, only saw Whitey's.

[patm]

This was from Saturday.

Chesterfield Target had one white and three brown rancors. One clearance Evolutions set (imp pilots) and various Muggs. I picked up the shoctrooper Mugg. They also had the CW versions of Obi and Anakin starfighters and the V-19.

Chesterfield WM had the CW republic tank and padawan Anakin, Typho and Gon.

[jedijason1138]

I've been dealing with some medication related issues, so I haven't been able to update until now. Found the ARF trooper and Obi Wan with space suit. I may pick up the rest of this wave. I haven't bought any Star Wars figures since the Space Trooper wave.

[patm]

Where'd you find them, Jason?
