Today was a good day for me down here in MA. I hit a local Wally World hoping to see something since I have missed the Coruscant wave at all the Targets I have gone to the last few days. I was able to score the Coruscant wave today. It was pretty cool to see them all at once before anyone else got a hold of them.
Cool! Hopefully they will be hitting Concord soon!

Keep an eye out for them at the Targets first they had them first down here in MA. The Wally World finally decided to put them out. This is definitely one of the better waves even though the Scorch one was a good one.

Stopped into the Hooksett Target yesterday and they had the Obi Wan and Anakin from the Coruscant wave. Also noticed that someone pulled the switcheroo on a Utapau Clone... there was a regular super articulated clone instead of the orange colored one, so be on the lookout in NH. I hate that kind of crap...

Good to hear that the Coruscant wave is hitting NH. It sux to hear about the switcheroo. During the ROTS collection every time I turned around I would find at least 5 per visit to most of the stores here in MA. No matter how many times I reported it they just kept on coming in. I talked to a Hasbro rep about it and all she said she could do was talk to the store people to make sure they keep an eye out for this. But that never worked.

The Coruscant wave finally hit big time at Wally World today. Picked up Cmr. Cody, Anakin, Obi, and Firespeeder Pilot (layaway is a beautiful thing!). Cody, Ani and Obi were Galatic Hunt figs. For anyone that hasn't noticed or care, the Obi GH fig is packaged differently than the regular one...
I passed on the Grievous... I couldn't tell if he was any better than the past molds of him. One question though for those that have him: Does his torso have some articulation? I thought I noticed that he had some kind of groove in his chest. I could be wrong. They also had 4 Fuol Modouma (sp?).. passed on him too. Just not my thing. Dofine I almost got... thought the best part of him was the console lol. Oh well
And how is that you Mass. collectors are lucky enough to find the Target exclusive clones om clearance! It ain't right I tell ya... no such thing here... (/whining)

Good score there. I am glad to see that they are hitting NH stores.
As for the clearance trooper I don't know how that happened. I didn't believe it myself until my friend's wife showed me the figure. I won't say what else I have found on clearance. lol

some nice finds there TK. Was the Hunt 4 the Falcon aka Bounty Hunters set on sale at the Suncoat or did you get that else where? If it was on sale did they have more? I may want one if the price is right. I have been debating about picking it up at Newbury comics for the same price at EE.

I did get The Bounty Hunter set at suncaost before they closed. I work for the company that bought them out so I had them held for me till the last possible marked down then rec. a discount on top of that. lol Sorry.

good finds there. I over the past week or so I have picked up the Tat wave, the new 7" unleashed, and a DV voice changer for $5 on clearance at WW. Not too bad on that one. It comes with a cheesy sabre but I thought it was cool. Got to love clearance. lol

Hello, Hello, Hello !!
How goes with everyone? I do hope all is well.
So this week I did pretty good. ... lol
I found a couple new pieces I had been hunting for. So let's get it started.
Figures:
Darth Vader saga 038
Hem Dazon A.N.H 033
Garindan A.N.H 034
Han Solo A.N.H 035
Sandtrooper A.N.H 037
R5-D4 A.N.H 032
Luke Skywalker A.N.H 036
The best piece of the week is my new...
Darth Vader Cold-Cast Statue which is made by Hasbro Adult Collectibles. It is 17inches tall (Just lovely) It shows him standing atop a broken platform just above a lava flow.
It is a very nice piece. However I do have to say I'm a bit saddend by the item as a whole. The statue part of Vader is AWESOME they did a GREAT job on him. The part I'm most disappointed in is the base of the statue. The broken platform and lara are all made out of plastic. Oh, and very cheap plastic at that. You had to snap it together like an old model. a piece like this coming from Hasbro you'd think they would have done a better job on it. Especially seeing what the price of it is. Had I paid full price for it, I'd have been a bit upset. But the deal I rec. on it. I have NO complaints. lol
OK, fine.........
Statue of Vader Retail $129.99
Comic Shop going out of Business ... Sad
TK buying it for $34.99 PRICELESS!!!
SeeYa!

Some great finds there TK. Glad to hear people up in NH are finding the deals and the goods. I just got word the my wave 5 will be coming later this week from EE. Even though I have found the wave in the stores I look forward to getting a case. Nothing much new here in MA. Trying to find the Hunt for Grevious battle pack from TRU to no avail.
