    She strangely loves to squirrel stuff outside. She's hidden about a 1/2 dozen spatulas out there.

    Darth Vader alarm clock at a Maplins having a closing down sale. Didn't need it but at the price I now have a spare clock.

    Got a cool Star Wars The Last Jedi shirt from GameStop after searching for a Captain Rex Black Series to no luck, and finally got the Mace Windu Bladebuilders lightsaber.

    Got another ebay deal, this time the Defense of Crait LEGO for 60% off full price. Now I have at least one set for each episodic movie.

    My TRU was still open when I was in town earlier in the week but most of the stock was gone. What SW stock there was had been marked down to 40%.

    Picked up a vintage Tauntaun (closed belly). These are tough to fin w/the reins, bit and saddle in tact, and mine are. Also common to yellowing, which mine doesn't have.

    This gives me two of the vintage beasts (w/the Dewback I picked up last year).

    Got the exclusive Han, L3 and Enfys Nest Pops at Target then Lando, the exclusive Lando, Han and Range Trooper at Hot Topic.

    It was actually a hunt today. Three of us had to ask the employees at Target to check the back for any merchandise when it opened. At Wal-Mart, an employee checked their system which said they had Pops in stock but when he went to look for them nothing. Told me someone must have stolen them. Lol alright. Hot Topic was the only place that had a decent amount of stock.

    My Target appeared to have put out the bare minimum. There were no POPS on the shelf other than Lando, the Rangetrooper, Beckett, and the exclusive Han.

    I had better luck at Hot Topic. I'm just missing Enfys, Mudtrooper, Rio and Dryden's gangster.

    My Walmart was a bust, checked yesterday and today and still no Solo stuff. Although today they put a DJ Black Series on the shelf and for $5 I grabbed him. I went to my GameStop and they had a Han and Lando Black Series and all the Funko POPs, but decided to wait for my Walmart since they’re almost $5 cheaper there. But I picked up the Han Solo Card Game (Sabacc) at GameStop. Can’t wait to play with my brothers. Looks fun.

    Was able to check a major one off of my list yesterday when I won a vintage Kenner The Force Darth Vader Lightsaber in mint, unused condition. I love those vintage Kenner role play weapons, and this one nearly completes the set (I have the SW, TESB and ROTJ Han Solo blasters, the ROTJ Biker Scout pistol, the SW Stormtrooper rifle and Luke's TESB Lightsaber and now Vader's). Just need Luke's green ROTJ lightsaber and the TESB and ROTJ stormtrooper rifles; though the latter is rare and pretty expensive.

    I ran by my Wal-Mart today and had what seems to be a similar experience based on the above reports. They had exactly two Solo things; Some little Millennium Falcon and a something-something 2.0 thingamawhatsit. No Black Series figures, no Solo or vintage style 3 3/4".

    Target gave me $150, so two of the things I used it for were the U-Wing and the Ach-to Island Training LEGO sets.

    I went to Target, got 6" "Solo" Han & Lando (the only 2 of those figures out on the shelves) and the Target exclusive 6" Luke on Achoo island figure - it was 1/2 off for $14.99.

    Grabbed a vintage Cloud Car pilot. It's become one of the more expensive vintage figures, but I got a great deal on mine, and he's in great shape.
