Saesee Tiin Wave

FFuzz reports finding a case of the Saesee Tiin wave at a Wal-Mart in the Dubuque area. There are 3 each Saesee Tinn and Queen Amidala Theed, 2 each IG-88 and Plo Koon, and 1 each of K-3PO and Mon Calamari Colonel.

Closed Hand IG-88

Thanks to a tip from Ray H, I was able to get a closed hand IG-88 at Target west in Madison this morning. All three of the IG-88 figures that they had were the closed hand variation. This does appear to be an intentional change to the figure and not an error. Why Hasbro made the change I do not know.

Dubuque Report

FFuzz reports finding 300th Edition Fetts at both Target and Wal-Mart in the Dubuque area. Also on the shelves are 100th Edition Lukes at TRU and Wal-Mart. Plus, like Madison, they have plenty of 12" Darth Maul with Sith Speeder.

Plo Koon Wave

Ray H reports that Target west in Madison had the Plo Koon wave this morning. If someone finds an extra IG-88 with closed hand, I am interested in buying one.

100th Edition 12" Luke

TRU east in Madison had 4 of these on the shelf today. This is the first time I have seen them at a TRU. Their price is $49.99, $10 more than Wal-Mart. If you having a hard time finding this piece, TRU may be your answer, but I would try Wal-Mart first.

Baraboo Report

I was in Baraboo today and the K-Mart there had both the Biker Scout wave and the Plo Koon wave. They were all a little beat up. The Wal-Mart there had a few of the 100th Edition 12" Luke figures. They were not near the other figures, instead being at the other end of the isle.

TRU Sale

TRU has CommTech figures on sale at two for $3. TRU east in Madison has mostly Adi Galia wave while TRU west in Madison has mostly Anakin Pilot wave. Both stores have a few of the classic figures, but not many.
