1) Hi...I'm new to the area (Berwyn) and was involved in the Pennsylvania Star Wars collecting society before I moved here. I saw some of your members at Wizard World today and figured I would try to join with you guys.

2) Has anyone found the Walmart exclusive Comic 2-packs or build-a-droids at their local walmarts yet?!?! I've searched Forest Park, Hodgkins, North Ave/Chicago, Orland Park, Bedford Park, and Northlake and nothing. All of the PA Star Wars collectors society have said their stores have had them for almost 2 weeks. Is Chicago normally slow to get exclusives?

Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and Welcome to

Shawnspookcity




be sure to place a post on the introductions thread,

http://boards.theforce.net/chicago_il/b10152/1418135/p18/?447


and, in answer to your question, well it seems to me like you are a
very dedicated fan on a mission to find those Wal-Mart items.

Reminds me of when I use to roam from store to store looking for anything happy

Hopefully, someone in the area helps you on this,
but it lookslike you are leading the charge.

Hope ya stick around and let us know what you are up to.

am currently not collecting anything,
and so feel free to correct me if I am wrong on this,
but
I am guessing that these are the items you are talking about.

Thanks for looking for me. I appreciate it. I just wish I would get a few more replies (even a "I haven't seen them at the WM at xyz")

Oh well..

I found them yesterday at the Forest Park Walmart (near Roosevelt and Harlem...1301 Des Plaines is the addy I think). They had tons of them.

I had a bummer of a day, staopped at 3 walmarts, all 3 had the new clone wars cartoon figs, all 3 rang up as "Sale not allowed". Freakin bummer, but they did look cool, especially the clone figs and the captain Rex fig.

Still no Wal Mart exclusives though, dang build a droids.
