    There are a whole bunch of these being sold on ebay already, but has anyone found one in a store yet?

    Appologies if this is a duplicate topic, I looked and didn't see one...

    Not yet. However I got the new Brian's Toys catalog in the post today and it has him in there for $9.99. That's cheaper than Darth Tater - they want $14.99 for him.

    Mine's apparently making his way across the country. I ordered him from Hasbro direct :D

    I've seen him out here, and I live near St. Louis. Darth Tater dominates the upper risers at our Wal-Mart out here...it's impossible NOT to find him...the trooper is a little less common, but still not that hard to find...

    Mine finally shipped today from Swshop.com! I pre-ordered him back in June along with the remote control R2. [face_dancing]

    Yep, saw some today. I cannot remember if it was Wal*Mart or Target, I was hitting a few of each today.

    Thanks everyone, I'll take a look around. Only checked KBToys so far, and they didn't have it. I thought they might since that was the first place I was actually able to find Darth Tater.

    I have only seen these once, and that was at Walmart. They are shipped one Spud trooper per case. I don't know why they keep sending more of the Vader, and not a solid case of these.

    In one store, I've found Darth Tater stocked on a different aisle with the kiddie stuff that a normal Mr. Potato Head would be found. Pretty funny.

    Yeah, I've found Darth Tater in both the Star Wars isle and the Mr. Potato Head isle, too.

    I found a Darth Tater hanging out with the baby toys at my local grocery store, not with the SW toys. I've been peeking there to see if Spudtrooper might be making an appearance there, so far no-go.

    (I tend to find more new stuff at my grocery store than any of the Targets or Walmarts near me.)

    Woohooo! My Spudtrooper arrived in the mail today from Hasbro [face_dancing] [face_dancing]

    He came w/ fewer "Mr. Potato Head" pieces than Darth Tater did.

    I found the Spudtrooper today at Walmart. Picked him up and gave him to my daughter for Sweetest Day.
