I found McChewy at Sainsburys (supermarket) yesterday. They had most of wave 3 on their small SW shelf.

Went by TRU this afternoon and grabbed a TAC Stormtrooper. This figure looks great, but the helmet fits a little loose. They had about four of each character in series 3 there. What suprised me the most is that they had 4 McChewy and it was 11:30 in the afternoon. This has got to be the 3rd time i've seen this wave around these parts. I just couldn't pass on the trooper this go'round.
Happy hunting

I've been buying ROTS Clones left and right this past week. I also found a second McChewie, which I gave to my good friend, the Endor AT-AT, and my girlfriend got me the Vintage Bespin Luke for my birthday. It's been a great week!
EDIT: Oh! McLuke came in the mail as well!

These figures have been especially tough to find. It doesn't help that Wal-Mart, the corporate mega-giant vortex of evil that usually has the best selection is clogged up with old saga figures.

Finally!

I like the look of the card. At first I didn't know what to think about the picture looking more "fleshed out", instead of animated. The more I look at it the more I like it. This one shall be in my collection

That looks pretty good. I might be on the lookout for it as well.

I agree. I was hoping the animated Fett would look less like something where they just kit-bashed other Fett figures and did another repaint. LOL. Oh well, it IS Hasbro.

I was wondering how many of you guys out there were going to pre-order the Entertainment Earth mystery figure pack. I'm not really sure if I want to shell out that much money until I see what I'm getting. I do have to say however, that the 3 pics they've released thus far are pretty damn cool.

Ordered 3 of those mystery packs today as a matter of fact. One for me, one for my friend and one for both of us to open and split. I am taking those two clone troopers as part of my half!!

Update for June 24-29th:
Picked up Master Vos 2pk and VOTC Snowtrooper this week.
But don't know , should i take out snowtrooper to display or
keep him MOC?? I would like to put vintage snowtrooper in
his place which is what i do for all my vintage figures.
Seen plenty of clonetroopers , but passing on them for now.
Haven't seen any MCquarrie figs since i picked up chewy two
weeks ago!! I've been covering 5-10 stores a week!

I'm desperately hunting for Jawa and the Saga Legends stuff. Fortunately people at the local Toys R Us are very helpful and inform me when they get trucks in so I know when to come.

I just got back from doing my grocery shopping and hit Super Wal-Mart, Target and Meijer along the way and I didn't find zip... Arrr, Hasbro you're killin' me here  ... It's like 2003 all over again.
On the other hand the Transformers toys are  multiplying ... I think TF might be just as heavily merchandised as the prequels were.
