Sandtrooper Wave

Ray H. reports that Target west in Madison got in a case of the Sandtrooper wave today. That is three shipments to that one store of this wave.

More Dirty Biker Scout Wave

I had another lucky day finding these at Wal-Mart east in Madison this morning. I don't think the case breakdown is the same one as I have listed earlier. It looks like Aurra Sing is not in the case. Instead there are two Leia Bespin Escape figures. This doesn't seem like a smart move on Hasbro's part.

Rebel Pilots

Kay Bee Toys east in Madison got in some of the Rebel Pilots 3-packs. The two-for-one sale is over and they cost $9.99. If you are like me, looking to get more pilots knowing that the B-Wing is on its way, this is your chance. These haven't been in the Madison area in a long time.

Dirty Biker Scout Wave

I was lucky enough to find most of a case of the Dirty Biker Scout wave at Wal-Mart Sun Prairie. All of the figures were on .0400 cards. This is also the first time I saw a Darth Maul Sith Apprentice figure. The Biker Scout is a nice repaint of the clean version. The markings seem to match the way I remember some of them looking. The Maul is the best version of that character that I have seen in a while. That doesn't mean a lot, but he is a nice figure that matches fairly well to the artwork that many of us have seen. Besides the normal articulation, he also has a swivel joint on his left elbow.
