    Continued from above: after leaving with nothing to show for, i headed to Wal-Mart #7 and was treated to nothing. Went across the street to Target #3 (3:30pm) and jackpot!! They had everything out. I grabbed Han Solos Landspeeder, Enfy Nests swoop bike, 3.75 Range Trooper, BS 6" 4Lom and VC Rebel Soldier and Snoke. After nothing at Wal-Mart #8 and Target #4, Force Friday was over.

    Picked up more VC Rebel Soldiers this week and a 6" Dewback with Sandtrooper today. Not keeping all the loot as I look out for other fellow collectors.

    Ordered a two more Solo Pops from Walmart (Chewie and exclusive Beckett).

    I was at Disney World last week and even the amount of Solo merchandise they had was limited. All the shops basically had the six figure pack, Han, Chewie and L3 Pops, two different types of shirts and a hat. Slim pickings even there.

    Stopped by the comic book shop on a whim hoping they might have an interesting SW figure and as I pulled into the parking space I thought of Zam Wesell and quickly pushed the thought away as I've never seen her anywhere except online.

    Lo and behold I found this from 2002, still in box! :)

    Mailman brought the Black Series Rex I had on order. Feeling nostalgic, I ordered some old Bantam novels from a second hand bookstore.

    Not SW, but I bought the Thor Ragnarok Marvel Legends Loki 6" figure used at the comic shop for FCBD. My first MCU figure.
    He looks really cool, good head sculpt and likeness. Neat paint job. Only issue is that his cape doesn't want to stay on, but for only $6, I'm not complaining.

    Just finished; Project Nemesis by Jeremy Robinson. Breezy novel. Pure junk food. Good if you're in the mood. - 6.5/10

    Now reading; The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. It's certainly widely praised, but I'd been dealing w/severe "fantasy" burnout the last few years, so I kept putting it off. I feel like I'm in the right frame of mind now, so the epic journey begins.

    ^ Okay, sorry, ignore that post. That's what I get for posting after a 10 hour shift on a very stressful work night.

    I have made what is the greatest clearance find of my life.

    [​IMG]

    Save for old Constable Zuvio, who I got for $0.03, everything else you see here in this photo cost one dollar. The BB-8 Playset x1
    Smart R2-D2 x4
    The Black Series AT-ST with Driver x1
    Rathtar with Bala-Tik x2
    Rose Tico x1
    Big Fig Rey x1
    Big Figs Pretorian Guard x1

    Everything was $1.00 each.

    I just happen to be in a local Walmart where an employees was drastically marking down all the Star Wars toys for immediate clearance. I saw that he had marked down the Rathtar from $5.00 to $1.00 and as I grabbed it I asked him if everything was being marked down. He replied yes. I assumed that the playset and other high dollar items would be marked down to the tenth dollar range. He told EVERYTHING was going to $1.00 because they had to get rid of it.

    I immediately called my dad from sporting goods to go grab a buggy and we filled it up.

    I won the Star Wars Lotto today.

    Holy hell, getting that play set for $1 is a huge deal.... Great haul!

    Today I picked up the ForceLink 2.0 set. Really wanted that Han figure, so was worth it. Got it for $5 too.
