Saturday (Late), Sept. 30th:

Masters of the Dark Side 2-Pack

After the earlier report, I decided to see if I could find this 2-pack myself. I got a late start and didn't actually get out until after 3:00 this afternoon. There weren't any left at Wal-Mart east in Madison, but I found a case of them on a pallet at Wal-Mart Sun Prairie. The stock person was nice enough to open it for me, easy as that. The 2-pack comes 6 to a case. The figures are on a .0000 card with .0000 insert. Wal-Mart's price is $14.96; a little expensive considering that two individually carded figures cost less. The Maul is a different sculpt from the Obi-Wan vs. Maul 2-pack. He does appear to break apart in the middle. Other features are every direction shoulder joints, an articulated right elbow, and one blade is removable from his saber. The Vader has a cloth cape, articulated left elbow, and painted saber handle. The one thing that is odd about him is that they sculpted his codpiece together with the lower cape (separate from his pelvis).

12" Dewback

TRU in Madison had two of these out on the shelf. They were both pretty beat up.

Saturday, Sept. 30th:

Masters of the Dark Side 2-Pack

Matt reports finding two of these at Wal-Mart east in Madison last night. This is the first report of them in the Madison area, so keep your eyes open if you want this set. This is the 3 3/4" 2-pack that includes Darth Maul and Darth Vader and it is rumored be a short run item.

Tuesday, Sept. 26th:

12" Boss Nass Wave

Wal-Mart east in Madison had a 12" Boss Nass and two 12" Sebulbas this morning. I haven't seen these in a long time. The down side is that, at $21.96 each, Wal-Mart has a higher price then the rest of the retailers.

Monday, Sept. 25th:

12" Aurra Sing

I got the 12" Aurra Sing Masterpiece Edition from Amazon.com today. It turned out to be a better figure than I thought. The pictures make it look like she had a huge head. It is a little large, but not as bad as the last Leia 12". Definitely not as bad as the pictures make it look.

12" Mace Windu Wave

TRU in Madison had a couple 12" Mace Windu figures on the shelf today. I'm surprised that they are still shipping since the Boss Nass wave has bean out for a while now.

POTJ Figures

I have had lots of reports of these hitting in Madison this week. Places to look are Wal-Mart east and west, K-Mart east and south, and even TRU got in some. They are starting to sit a little on the pegs now; sometimes they even last the whole day.
