Recent Finds/Acquisitions: Vintage/SOTDS

[Grimace]

finally I can post up here again!

today I found the Revenge Rebel Commando and the Return Boba Fett
I also grabbed another Bom Vimdin, and from another Target I picked up the only TVC figure on the pegs, the Skiff Guard

now hopefully that store will put more than one figure on those four pegs!

Found a couple Wave 9 goodies today at Target - bought for the next Yakfinities giveaway.

^ Went by a Wal-Mart by my house and they had some Wave 4 figures on the pegs. They just put these out over the weekend. I bought the Anakin for a custom, I had bought a couple of him a while back but don't know what happened to the one I had intended for a custom.

Also, Jeditemplearchives is reporting similar finds so be on the lookout for this wave if you are still wanting to add any of these figures.

If anyone can help me obtain near-mint & unpunched tab versions of TVC AotC Padme, Mace, Kit Fisto and the 1st photo version (close-up) of the blue Senate Guard, that would be excellent! I'll pay $11.00 each for these in pristine shape, plus shipping!

I hope all those old waves get bought before the new year, or the vintage pegs are going to be a mess in 2012...

They will probably go by the end of the holidays. I am too hoping these are gone by jan 1st of 2012, Im would hate to miss out on the awesome TPM wave..

No one in my area (Seattle) should have ANY problem finding waves 4, 5, and 6 right now. All my Targets that were paying out waves 8 & 9 are now chuck full of these older waves, along side the repack/carry forward (vader, ds luke) figures from 8/9. My local Fred Meyers have had never ending cases of wave 4/6 since may.

I said that last year about waves 1/2

I found the Revenge Slave Leia today, on the pegs at Target

that was the only one of the bunch I never thought I would see at retail

I'm sure there's a bit of a scare that the waves hitting now will pile up at retail and we'll have a problem finding TPM stuff, but I have a much better feeling right now than I did compared to the situation last year. Here's why...

1) Wave 1 and Wave 2 were the initial waves of TVC, and initial waves are vastly overproduced

2) There is not a stinker in any of the waves nearly as bad as the repacked 4-LOM or yellow headed clone

3) I believe there is a new SKU for TVC in 2012, meaning that the 2010-2011 line won't even have shelf space anyway at places like Wal-Mart and Target

I could be wrong about #3 though.

How is that going to work with carry forwards and the 2011 wave 7 repack wave? I would not bet on this one.

my local Walmart is open all day today

on a whim, I stopped in and found the Revenge TIE Pilot and Revenge Endor Han

just the Revenge Boba and I will have the complete set!

so that SDCC set can kiss my turkey baster!

Well, I'm not banking on it, but the 2012 cards are all new backs at least. I thought I also heard somewhere there was a new SKU for 2012 starting with TPM. I could be wrong though.

much to my shock, I found a second Revenge Leia at Target today

[darthmadonna]

Well things seemed to be going well but My Target and Walmart. The ones that were actually putting out new figures and had empty pegs are now completely clogged (literally falling off the pegs) with waves 5 and 4. Wave 5 is sucking all the oxygen out of the aisle too. I am soooo dissapointed now. Also with Clone Wars all I am finding is all the pegs just covered with Saga Legends and no or very few Clone Wars Obi Wans.
