Picked up the Evolutions: Sith Legacy pack with Bane, Nihilus, and Maul at walmart last night....
Just bought that pack a day or two ago, along with the Vader's Apprentice pack, and a couple other Force Unleashed figures (Maris Brood and Juno Eclipse). I almost bought Rahm Kota or whatever his name is, but I kinda had no more money.  It's also incredibly tempting to get the Fett Legacy pack, but I really only want it for Mandalore -- I'm very satisfied with the Boba and Jango figures I've got, so I'll probably just save my money and buy Mandalore individually on eBay or something.
Now all Hasbro needs to do is make a Visas Marr figure and I'll be very happy. I just got outbid on this one.

What packaging are they in? Saga Legends?
Yes, they look exactly like the first Saga Legends 501st except you can see the white ball joint under the helmet instead of the brown chin that indicates the clone head underneath. They don't come with the antenna, so you can't even spot them that way. I had to look really closely to even see that it was the super articulated version.
Hope that helps.
Found 13 more of them on Friday night, so now have a total of 32.

I know what you mean about the Fetts. I went ahead and bought the Fett Legacy the other night, because I thought it was neat having the Fetts in the same packaging and poses. I have a few of both Fett figures already, but I couldn't make up my mind so I just went ahead and bought it....lol.

Bought 36 more SA 501st clones last night. Total is now at 71. I don't know if people in my area just don't realize what these are, or maybe they have just had their fill of clones altogether. I found them hanging on the pegs at about 14 different Targets last night.
Of course, it could also be that people don't want them since Hasbro cheaped out and didn't include the antennas with them. Can you believe that? I mean, someone in a board room at Hasbro actually decided that Hasbro could save .0001 cents per unit by not including the antenna with the figure. What a bunch of cheap skates! Maybe they did it because the general consensus was that consumers didn't like the antenna. But if that was the case, then they should fill in the hole on the back of the figure where the antenna is meant to be inserted. Also, that decision was not very friendly to the consumers like me who actually like the effect that the antenna adds to the figure.
I sure hope if they use this sculpt down the road on some other clone repaint that they rethink that decision and start including it again. (Dare I say Grey Coruscant Clone Trooper?)
Yes, I know I'm repetitive when it comes to my passion about clones, but I have purchased enough of them so I think I'm entitled!

Well, the surprising thing is that I found all those 36 hanging on the pegs at Targets between 5pm and 10pm. Normally, I would have to be at Target first thing in the morning to find a new release like that. I think people just don't realize they are the SA troops because they don't have the antenna packed in this time.

I just picked up the ROTS 2-1B at Wal-Mart. This was my first sighting of 2008 TAC after weeks of hunting. It looks like the huge shipments of 2007 Wave 7.5 in my area are keeping all the new figures out of the pegs.

Nice ones, Mike. That biker scout must've cost a pretty penny(although based on that layout, it doesn't look like you're hurting for cash )
I finally broke down and purchased the Gentle Giant Leia as Jabba's Slave statue. I could no longer resist her spellbinding gaze or her perfectly sculpted 1/6 scale gold-encased breasteses....eses.  .

I love how Mighty Mugg Boba is hanging out on the floor there. ^_^
The Speeder Bike looks great! It's probably a good thing that I don't have the space *at all* to justify buying the big items like that, because if I did I would likely find a way to justify spending the money.
