Chancellor Palpatine Wave

Wal-Mart east in Madison had several cases of this wave on the pegs this morning. It includes two new figures (Supreme Chancellor Palpatine - #39, and Djas Puhr - #40) along with some older figures. It appears the older figures are Dexter Jetster, Geonosian Warrior, Endor Rebel Trooper (with beard), and Qui-Gon Jinn. There may be others, but these stood out on the pegs. Palpatine is fairly nice, but the spots on his face are a little too pronounced. Otherwise the paint job is quite good and he includes elbow and wrist joints for added articulation. Djas Puhr is a nice addition to anyone's Cantina diorama. He doesn't appear to have any additional articulation, but he does have two usable holsters.

Orn Free Taa Wave

Both Joel Y. and Ray H. report that Target west in Madison had a few of these on the pegs today. It sounds like they only had gotten in one case.

12" Mace Windu

TRU east in Madison got in another case of these today. They seem to be pretty easy to find.
