    There is no single hardest to find figure. Each area and even each store seems to have it's own shortages.

    In general most of the figures have been fairly evenly distributed.

    You should look around at a few of the other threads on this topic though.

    I went to ebay and alot of people are saying rare hard to find only a few figures # 32 - 38

    are they going to come out later or do I need to find these now ....

    Also has anyone had any luck finding new figures or old ones at places like Big Lots , CVS pharmacy etc where are some good stores to find rare finds and suggestions would help ...

    32 - 38 have still not made it to the shelves in many part of the country, but they will eventually. Most of the action on eBay is people trying to cash in on impatient collectors.

    Well, the Darth Vader (Lava Reflection) and Holographic Yoda are of course the rare ones out of the bunch, so I'm glad I have both of those. The hard to find ones right now are #33 - 40. I have been to Target, Toys-R-Us, and 4 Wal-Marts, and out of all of those only 1 Wal-Mart had #33-40 and they only had 1 of each. I'd try to get the Palpatine, which I did, because they are saying there may be an error with that one because of the blue lightsaber he has, and he is supposed to have a red one. I don't know which is the rare one of the two officially, but I would guess the blue lightsaber one, since I don't think Palpatine uses one in the movie.

    I'm having trouble find Mace Windu with BAMF lightsaber and Bail Organa with Defiant "Objection" Action. Hopefully they'll show up on the next truck.

    I haven't seen anything past #32, but as far as #1-32 goes, I'd say the rarest in places like Target would be most of the Jedi with the exception of Anakin, OB1, Yoda, and Mace. And since the morning of April 2nd, I have seen only 2 clonetroopers and one GG bodyguard, and thus far, of course, no royal guards whatsoever.

    I saw two Red Royal gaurds on the morning following the 2nd at Target, and of course...left them. I wanted them, but I figured "Hey, I have the one from '99, why do I need another?" Oh well. I just hit my local Target and they had an abudance of General's and his bodygaurds, as well as Mace, and Mothma...and Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Anakin. Along with the other Jedi. It seems my Target has a huge amount of the same figures. This goes for both of my Targets. Hopefully I'll find something new at Toys "R" Us, or Wal-Mart.

    Also, Unleashed General and Anakin seem to be hard to come-by here. (Southern California)

    I'd have to say #33-40, but that is mainly due to lack of stores having it. I went on a short run today, and found no Royal Guards at all, Blue or Red!

    I agree Vassago, I still enjoy my original Red gaurds from Kenner, I saw this fool with 5 of the red gaurds acting like he hit the lottery! I just can't get excited like that. I guess since I don't sell anything online it really doesn't mean that much to me which is rare. As long as I get the ones I really want I'm happy. :)

    I actually got 2 Clone Commanders and a Clone Pilot on the 2nd. I like them, especially the Commander, but they'll only be rare for another couple of weeks. If you really want anything higher than #32, go to SWshop.com or Entertainment Earth.com You'll pay out the nose, but you'll get them.

    Ah, I envy you Zemog! I wanted at least one Clone. I'd like to get my hands on the AT-TE Driver (that's it, right?) mostly for the removabel helmet. The commander looked awesome, as well; shades of the ARC Troopers, I thought. I'm with you again, Zemog, I can't get excited over figures like the guy you described; I've seen it too. I really got the figures I wanted when I went. The only ones that remain are Clone(s), Palpatine #35, and Tarkin. After that, I think I'll be fine. :)

    Around here (Southern Oregon) we have enough Yoda's and Blue Senate Guards to make a path from Sacramento to Dallas to New York without ever touching the ground. What IS extremely rare here:

    Chancellor Palpatine(With saber, # 38 I think)

    Chewbacca

    Clone Commander

    AT-TE Gunner

    Clone Pilot

    Red Senate Guard

    Blow Apart Grevious

    Super Articulation CloneTrooper


    NADA of them.
