I saw more evidence of this at the nearby Wal Mart. After checking the main figure aisle and seeing the all to familiar 17 Lando, I almost gave up. As I was heading out of the toy department, I decided to look for a shipper. I didn't find one but instead found figures hanging on a side cap. Does anyone know if Leia ships with this assortment, or do the other figures fill that slot?
I could be wrong, but I don't believe she's packed in with the shipper.

My local Walmart just have gotten in the shipper too. Saw a couple of Rex and X-Wing Luke this morning. Some $15 Darktroopers too. I'd buy more of the Darktroopers, but money has gotten tight after getting charged for 3 Haslab Cantinas.

I also swung by Ross... lucked out, for $3.99, I can't say no.

Great find. I would love to find at least one Nien Nunb at Ross. I'll have to venture out this weekend.

I've been zipping around the local stores to track down the new Leia, but haven't spotted it, so I ordered one on Amazon - it's action figure perfection - exactly what I've been requesting for several years - the swappable hoods and a seamless appearance, all done in plastic. Gotta hand it to Hasbro, they really delivered on this figure - I'd happily buy a holographic version as well!

Picked up a TVC Dooku at Gamestop today. Had $5 off Pro Member coupon, plus extra $5 off in points. So he was only about $7 after tax.

You are building a HUGE fodder box - I'm jealous (but my budget is happy!). I look forward to seeing what you produce with the new figuers.

Went on a family vacation over the weekend. We went to Minnesota. One of our destinations was the Mall of America. I was excited to check out Toys R Us. Sadly, there was nothing that I was interested in. The only TVC figure was a lone Finn. The rest were Retro figures. I came up empty at all the other places that I hit up for figures. Upon returning home I just decided to order off of Amazon. My Mandalorian Judge arrived today and Leia will be here Friday.

Going to that TRU was cool just for the experience, but was anything priced? There were no tags or labels there when I visited.

The perks of driving for a job again…I now go across the St. Louis area. Got ANH Leia and a Stormtrooper at a Target for $13 each. Went to the Walmart just down from it and found the most TVC I’ve seen at retail for a while. Really difficult leaving those Stormies behind! E901DF52-03C0-49A0-AAE5-59E34948BD82.jpeg

All the figures had a label style price tag, kind of like some of the things you get from Amazon. Finn was $18.99.

Interesting, they didn’t have anything labeled there last December! That’s “only” $2 over Walmart…Not too bad for TRU.

the way the goons are showing up at ross, I wonder how many actually made it to retail/e-tail. there are people that have comic long boxes filled with these figures. and I mean each box is just one solid figure . imagine a long box of yakface, nikkto, weequay, etc.??
