Jabba with 2-Headed Announcer

Thanks to Daniel O. for this heads up. Target.com has this hard to find beast pack for $12.99 plus shipping. Go here for the direct link. They also have Adi Gallia and Anakin Naboo for $6.79 each.

Naboo Royal Starship

There were two of these sitting at Target west in Madison this morning and I think that the east side Target had them as well. Target's price is $99.99 and I would think that will be the price that most stores carry them at. First off, it is absolutely huge. The box easily dwarfs anything put out so far. I would also go to a strong looking check out person since it is quite heavy and the clerk today dropped mine on it's corner. It has 15 sounds, but they all seem to be ship sounds and blaster fire and the like. The ship is painted silver instead of being metalized, but the paint does have a lot of metal flake in it and it looks pretty good.

Farm & Fleet Platteville

Zampardi reports that they have some Luke Wampa and Luke Taun Taun beast packs at $9.88. If you are still looking for these, this is probably the best price that you will find. They also have some Freeze Frame figures for $2.88, but they are mostly collection 2.

Anakin Naboo

Zampardi also reports finding Anakin Naboo at the Wal-Mart in Dodgeville. It's surprising how hard it is to find this figure considering how long it has been out.

One Year Old Today

It's hard to believe that this site is a year old already. I would like to thank everyone who has supplied information and I hope more do in the future. I have met many of you now and I am glad that we have such a nice community of Star Wars collectors in the area. Thanks for making this site what it is and I hope that I get a chance to help out more people in the future.

I wish that there is more to report, but nothing new has been hitting in the area. It's kind of weird since this time last year the Mynok Hunt 3-pack made its only know Madison debut and the Dark Trooper & Spacetrooper figures were hitting.

Wednesday, Nov. 10th:

.0000 Darth Maul Jedi Duel

I'm sure that many of you have read about this variation to the Darth Maul Jedi Duel figure. Well, TRU east in Madison got in a case of these today. They come in a full 16 count case and it looks like every one of them were the .0000 version. I would like to point out that this is the latest version of the figure and not the first version. Yes, the .0100 came out before the .0000 and if they change it again, it will be back to .0100.

Toys For Tots

Just a reminder, the Toys For Tots campaign has started and the donation boxes can be found at many stores around the area. This will last until mid-December so don't wait too long. Here is your chance to help kids get the toys that you enjoy so much.
