TRU east in Madison got in 3-4 cases of Boshek wave today. All of the R4-M9 figures that I saw had the warning sticker.

Ian also reports that Kay Bee Toys west in Madison had some of this wave today. A little expensive at $7.99, but the opportunities to get these are disappearing.

Tie Bomber & Snowspeeder

I was able to pick up two of each of these Wal-Mart exclusives at their east side Madison store. I won't give a review since YakFace.com did such a nice job of it for both the Tie Bomber and the Snowspeeder. I will say that the Bomber looks like a lot of fun. The pilot has articulated knees and is shipped sitting in the cockpit. The Snowspeeder looks good in package, but I'm not hugely impressed with it since so much is rehashed. It would have been better if the figures used a newer mold as a basis. I did see these in their shipping box. A couple things that I haven't seen posted before is that this was one of 1500 cases (three each ship per case) for a total of 4500 of each ship. There may be more since they sometimes come in two or more groups. But, this is more than Target had gotten of their ships including the B-Wing. Maybe these won't be that bad to get after all.
