Wow, our local Target was stocked again with clones. I could've picked up 5+ each of EP 2 and EP 3 clean white clones, plus a couple of stormtroopers and Galactic Marines. I did get the only 2 Shock Troopers they had for urbnns. Whatever the case lots are for this wave, it's definitely clone heavy. I wish they all were like this, it's clone heaven!!! love


The clones are out in full force all over the North Denver Metro Area as well.

Thanks for picking up the Shocks, Obey Wann!!

Wow. I cant beleive but I have yet to see any Greatist Hits figures in stores yet, never mind the clones. I havent seen a Stormtrooper on the pegs yet either.

I do see a lot of Galactic Marines lately. Plenty for the pickin'.


darcphoenyx - good idea with the running change (or eventual rerelease) in blue as well. Id love to see that.

Now shouldnt the head on this "red suited" removable armor episode II clone (someone please come up with a shorter name) be the same head, or similar in design to the Galactic Marine head?

Should be similar to the Galactic Marine or the original AOTC Deluxe Speederbike Clone...which also had removable armor actually.

Target in Boulder, CO has like 17 white ROTS clone troopers from Saga Legends. Is it just me, or are these figures a flop this year? Nobody seems to be buying them.

Not here. I haven't seen a single one; all I can find from Legends is Vader and 3PO.

I'm just hoping that Hasbro finally listened and realized that army builder figures need to be stocked more than regular single purchase figures. I love the fact that there are tons of clones on the shelves, even if I can't afford to get them all.

It's still satisfying seeing them on the shelves. grin

I like seeing them all on the shelves as well, but I wish Hasbro would pay better attention to the paint applications. I have a very hard time finding decent painted AOTC clones. Practically everyone I see has smudging along the black stripe on the top part of the helmet. It's very disappointing.

Has anyone seen the picture on Rebelscum of the brown deco clone trooper coming in Wave 8? Looks like it might be the same sculpt as the clone trooper engineer (w/ removable helmet). Can anyone verify this?

Bad news: according to this, Keller's going to be a WalMart exclusive.

Hasbro comes through in lame form again! The brown deco clone trooper IS the lame sculpt with the Big-headed removable helmet. I can't even tell you how bad this sculpt sucks! I'm so let down...

Found a couple of SL Ep.II troopers and two 501st troopers (amongst most of their respective waves), one which I picked up myself. It's nice to finally see something other than the first two waves of TAC on the shelves!

Did anyone notice that in Hasbro's presentation at Comic Con they snuck in new (more accurate) versions of Commander Gree and his 41st Elite grunts? wink

They'll be coming in the first wave of '08. I'm really surprised they're revisiting those two again so soon. Not that I'm going to complain, mind you.

Do you have a link to those photos?

Are those the Saga Legends 501st Clones? If so, where did you find them?

The edit button is your friend wink

And yes, it was the Saga Legend 501st (clean) Trooper. Found it at Wal*Mart; Target still had nothing.
