Thursday, Jan. 7th:

News is getting slower. This will be the rule up until the EP1 stuff starts coming out.

Target has the 12" exclusives on sale. Wampa/Luke is at $35.90, Emperor/Royal Guard is at $35.90, and Han Carbonite is at $31.90. Thanks to Aaron and Rob H. for the info.

The Classic 8 non-short-packed figures and the 3d dioramas are now officially peg warmers. Wal- Mart east in Madison has had the figures for over a week and the TRU east in Madison has had the dioramas for almost as long.

It seems that the TRU warehouse is now out of the discontinued toys. It seems that Wal-Mart is done getting these as well. This includes everything but the Classic 8, STAP, new 3-packs, and 3d diorama. Even the Jedi wave of 12" figures is done. This would seem to indicate that the next wave of 12" figures will be coming soon.

I got the Wal-Mart poster in the mail on Tuesday. This is pretty nice and I encourage anyone who wants one to place their order. This offer (along with the Mace Windo) requires that they recieve the order by the 15th of this month. So don't delay.
