TRU Report

TRU east in Madison had a couple bins of the newest waves of figures this morning. Gary S. reports that the west side TRU in Madison also had large amounts of these figures. Included were: Padme Pilot, Jango Pilot, Clone Pilot, Lott Dod, Watto, Tusken Raider with Massiff, clean shaven Endor Rebel Soldier, Teemto Pagalies, Ki-Adi Mundi, Anakin Tatooine Attack, and Darth Maul. That is a lot of figures, but missing from the list is Ephant Mon. BTW, I had no problem price matching to the Farm & Fleet ad.

Farm & Fleet Report

Speaking of Farm & Fleet, if you decided to sleep in instead of standing in line for them to open their Toyland, you made the right choice. They had the Chewy and Palpatine waves of figures, the Nexu wave of Deluxe figures, Acklays, Speeders, and Jedi Starfighters.

Gary S. has an extra set of the first wave of Star Tours figures for sale/trade. He is asking $40 or looking to trade for Expanded Universe figures. Please contact him directly here.

Action Fleet Wave 2

Wal-Mart east in Madison had in a case of these yesterday while K-Mart in Madison had them today. This wave includes the AT-TE, Count Dooku's Solar Sailer, and a repaint of the Naboo Fighter. We finally get two new ships in this line. Both the AT-TE and the Solar Sailer are nice additions, but the AT-TE has a lot more play value.

New Figures

Grey M. reports seeing tons the latest figures at TRU east yesterday. Ray H. reports that TRU west in Madison had a similar bounty today. It looks like all of the newest figures showed up except Ephant Mon.

Lower Prices at Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart east in Madison has lowered the price of their figures to $4.07 and the west side store lowered theirs to $4.08. This is being done to match Farm & Fleet's (or Fleet Farm depending on location) price of $4.29. Keep in mind many stores will price match Farm & Fleet's price if you bring in their add flier.

Deluxe Clone Trooper Wave

Steve W. reports that the K-Marts on the western side of Milwaukee got in these figures today but the ones on the south side did not.
