Week of: Sept. 3rd, 2001

Sunday, Sept. 9th

Sandtrooper Wave

Wal-Mart east in Madison had a case of Sandtrooper wave on the pegs this morning. It was good to see that they are still get some figures and I haven't seen this wave in a long time.

Saturday, Sept. 8th

Tie Interceptor

TRU west in Madison got in two cases of their exclusive ship last night. Luckily for me, there was one left this morning. The ship will cost you $29.99, which seems a little high. It does come with an exclusive Tie Pilot that looks like the top half is the same as the earlier carded figure while the legs look new and sport articulated knees.

Shmi Wave

G reports that Target east in Madison had a case of these on the pegs. Ray H. was nice enough to pick me up a set of these earlier in the week allowing for the review. Shmi is a great figure capturing the likeness very well. She has added swivel joints on the arms. Obi-Wan (Jedi Training Gear) is OK. He has a swivel joint on one of his arms and comes with a removable training helmet. Both figures are on .0400 cards.

Palm Talkers

TRU east in Madison had a case of these on the shelves this morning. I was able to pick up the rest of the set. I am surprised at how difficult it has been to get these. Are other stores going to carry them, or is TRU the only place? Ray H. sent a sound file of Boba Fett to give you an idea of what they are like.

Thursday, Sept. 6th

More Shmi Wave

Ray H. reports that Target west in Madison got in at least two more cases of these today. It looks like that is the store to hit on your toy runs. Gary S. also reports seeing them in limited quantities at the Target in Hudson (who also had some B-Wings).

12" Death Star Droid Wave

Ray H. reports seeing these at TRU west in Madison today.

Tuesday, Sept. 4th

Shmi Wave

Ian reports that Target west in Madison got in a good size shipment of Shmi wave yesterday. This wave includes Shmi and Obi-Wan (Jedi Training Gear).
