Lou, KY ROTS Collector thread

Where did you see Ventress at?

 

Saw them both at Target. They were both gone by the end of the day, though.

 

Do you work at Target? I really want to get the Ventress Unleashed figure. Its pretty much the only figure I'm looking for right now. I'll probably end up buying it off eBay since the odds of finding it here will be slim to none.

 

Yeah, It'd be great if we knew someone that worked at a retail store that could find figures for people.

 

If I see the Ventress figure again, I'll pick it up and bring it to the next meeting.

If I know that someone is looking for a particular figure, I'll keep an eye out for it.

 

Key an eye out for Commander Baracca and Mustifar Anakin for me.

 

Looking for bacarra too but I don't want to impose on someones job just to get a figure. I mean he has to earn a living so that he can buy the figures too. But on the other side as long as it does not interfer with your work, I suppose that would be cool to keep eyes out for fellow fans.

 

Man if i had known how "scarce" the figure was I could've had 4 each of Bacarra, Mustafar Anakin and Electronic R2 when I found them.

 

I just need Tarkin, Anakin-Mustafar, and Bacarra.

 

I'm looking for Bacarra and Anakin-Mustafar myself. Everyone's stock seems to be dwindling fast. All I see anymore is a bunch of Neimoidian Guards.

 

I got bored the other day and counted 51 Neimoidian Guards on the shelf. That's probably a third of all the figures right now.

 

Hey that's perfect I need 51 Nemodian Warriors for my diorama!

/sarcasm

 

I have 2 Nemoidian guards myself, don't need anymore. Actually it is a same that those figures were over produced. It might hinder Hasbro desicion process on making little shown army builders in the future

 

The only reason I even bought one is because they are pretty cool in the ROTS video game. I was hoping to see a little bit of action from them in the movie. Oh well.

 

I received the 500th Figure from KBToys.com yesterday. Man that is a pretty awesome Vader figure. Also the packageing is pretty cool. Still haven't found it in a brick and mortor store yet. Based on the fact I only see 300th Fetts twice in a store, prompted me to order it online.

 

Mike and I found the Ventress and Yoda vs. Sidious Unleashed figures today at Toys R Us on Shelbyville Rd! They were actually the only Unleashed figures there at all.

I am still on the lookout for another Ventress. I opened the one I got today. I'd like to have one unopened as well.

Still looking for Aurra Sing for a decent price on eBay.

 

For those who want it, The holo Leia from San Diego is available on Shopstarwars.com

 

I think it's already sold out.

 

Good thing I ordered mine last night.

 

Eh, the "hologram" figures don't really excite me anyways.

Especially not for $14 plus shipping.

 

I am sucker for exclusives with shipping it was almost $20.00. Man that stinks for one figure. But like I said I am a sucker.

 

nah, you're just a collector! If I could afford it I'd still be a completist and I'd have to have her too.

I had to restrict myself to the figures I REALLY want.

I fear that some figures are going to become extremely hard to find now that there's no movie to drive demand, and ultimately that's going to kill the line when the casual collectors like myself give up entirely.

Of course, Hasbro's "repaint" strategy for the rest of the year and next will likely do that too!

 

Especially since they decided to repaint the Nemodian Warrior. He isn't selling as is. I d onot think the repaint will help

 

I know! Of all the choices...

But thank god their doing the Obi-Wan with baby Luke and Bail with baby Leia! Those will go nicely with my pregnant Padme.

Oh wait, I didn't buy that one.
