New 12"

TRU east in Madison got in two cases of the new 12" figures. This is the case with 2 Luke Stormtroopers, 2 Ponda Babas, and 2 Ben with training balls.

Legos

They were also unpacking several cases of the Star Wars Legos while I was at TRU east in Madison.

EP1 at Target

Taget east in Madison had some Episode I towels today. They were Darth Maul and Jar Jar. Other towels were Darth Vader and ROTJ Death Star battle scene. Pretty nice, on sale too at $11.99. Chris P. reports finding Ertl models of the Naboo fighter and Droid Ship at Target west in Madison.

TRU east in Madison has also had the new PEZ. The new ones are Luke X-Wing, Ewok, Leia, Boba Fett.

EP1 Road Trip

I grabbed the digital camera and took a little road trip around Madison to see what is out there for EP1 stuff.

The first find was T-shirts at Shopko. Not really a find since I have seen these before. These are the rest of the last batch including Darth Maul #3, #4, #5, Trade Federation Ships #1, #2, and Jedi vs. Sith. Almost every Shopko had some T-shirts, but sizes and styles varied from store to store.

Next came the backpacks at K-Mart south. They included Darth Maul, Anakin, and Obi-Wan / Qui-Gon.

The last find was at JC Penney. They had items for the bedroom including a sheet set, curtains, and comforters. These pictures turned out poorly, but they did look pretty nice.

Beru Wave

Target east in Madison appeared to get some more Beru wave today. I was able to get a C-3PO, but missed the others.

More EP1 T-Shirts

Both Shopko east and south in Madison had out some more EP1 t-shirts. This time they were larger sizes. I picked up one to see if it would fit me (it does!). Jenine also found them and picked up one. There were 6 different styles (I think). Darth Maul had the lion's share with 3, 2 were of the Trade Federation ship, and there was one with Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Darth Maul on it.

Funny Little Comic

Jenine also picked up this Mad Magazine like comic. It is pretty good, pick it up if you get the chance.

More Episode I Product Found

Dave P. found Episode I backpacks at K-Mart east in Madison. They include an Anakin in pod racer gear, Obi-Wan / Qui-Gon Jinn, and Darth Maul. They were tagged at $14.99, but rang up for less.
