12" Jango Fett

TRU west in Madison put out a case of these this afternoon. Their price is $39.99 and he is worth every penny. This is the way 12" figures should be done. He comes with virtually everything accessory that you could hope for including removable helmet and armor, both jetpacks, and even two sets of hands. I can see this thing having tons of play value. It helps that Jango has a look that lends itself to the 12" body style.

Fan Club Troop Builder Sets

I got these in the mail today; a pleasant surprise since I just ordered them. The Fan Club is starting to do things right. These are four figures in a mailer box and each figure includes one of two guns. This is a quick way to build your army at a decent price. In my case, it worked out to about $3.80 per figure. Now, we need super articulated Death Star Troopers, Imperial Officers, Biker Scouts.....

Deluxe Anakin & Nexu

Ray H. reports that Target west in Madison had a couple sets of these two figures on the pegs today.

Price Drop

Ray H. reports that Target west in Madison has dropped their price for regular carded figures to $4.99. Target east in Madison has also dropped their price and I expect Wal-Mart will be down to $4.77 soon while TRU should be down to $4.99 by tomorrow (as reported by other sites).
