I was at Target this morning and they had most if not all of wave 8 on the pegs. They had 1 Kit Fisto, 1 Darth Maul, 1 Holographic Cody, 1 Chewie with 3po and most of the clones.

Well, today was toytastic for me. I just got my Lucas Family Set and my Republic Commando set from starwarsshop.com. I must say, the are both amazing sets. It is awesome to see all four commandos in figure form. The paint is very acurate on them. I must say the Lucas set is really cool too. Now I am just waiting on my pre-ordered Comic 2-packs, the rest of the Saga Collection and the 30th set.

Target had the new Geonosis and Dagobah Battle Packs this morning. I picked up the Dagobah just for the Luke and Obi, however, the vader is pretty good too.

I really loved the Republic Commando set too. I liked how the commandos were all attached to the package the exact same way. That way I was able to rearrange them in the display order I wanted, without taking them out of the plastic holders.

The Lucas set is way cool too. I like how George's Cane has a little Death Star as the pommel. I really think the Katie Lucas Twi'lek is a great figure too.

Now I see that Starwarsshop.com has charged me for the Imperial Briefing Room set, so I hope it arrives soon.

Oh yeah, Wal-Mart had the Cantina Band marked down to $10.90, so if you have been holding out for lower prices, this might be your chance. Although if I had waited another week, they probably would've been $5. Ha!

They were over by the gardening stuff they recently shelved. One of the aisles had a small batch of clearance stuff at one end. I had a hard time finding it too.

Nice to meet you at Target this morning, Tristar!

Anyway, I've heard about it online, but never ran into it in Bloomington yet. I bought a pack of the Star Wars Starship Minis at Target this morning. Not being able to wait any longer, I opened it upon getting to my car. Much to my chagrin, someone had removed all of the Starship Minis from the box, replaced them with worthless minis from a different set and empty plastic bags, resealed the box, and put it back on the shelf!

I took it back immediately, and the guy at the service desk was really nice about it, and said "I'll get security to figure out what happened!"

So be careful out there. Check those figures and battle packs before you buy them. We have a charlatan in our midst!

Wave 9 was finally at Target today! Hip hip hooray! I got all but the Commander Appo. THey also had all 3 comic 2 packs and the dagobah battle pack. Still waiting on the Ilium and Felucia ones though. Too bad I pre-ordered my first 3 comic packs cause they haven't shipped yet.

Yay!!!! Target had Commander Appo, the Ambush at Ilium and the Betrayal at Felucia packs today. The Ilium pack is really cool, the Padme is awesome. I really like the Appo too. I know its a re-paint, but it is a neat figure.

Well, wave 9 has finally hit stores. Hopefully the wal-mart wave will hit soon. I am a little disappointed that those will be so hard to find. Guess that means I will have to head to my old nemesis ebay to find those. I hope the TAC actually gets to B-town in March and not a month later like usual.

Not fair! Ahhhh! I am jealous of your find. I did find the Dagobah set a few weeks ago. I think it is pretty cool, what about you?
