    kreleia was looking for one of the 12 in Padme dolls, but neither one of those is the one she wants if I understand your description correctly anyway. She wants the one in the senatorial dress...the one with the head dress that looks like two big down-turned horns.

    The ones you described (the swamp outfit and the dress with the light thingys right?) are the ones at my local KayBee too.

    Feldman! My Target isn't getting anything. If you see the repackaged Yoda, pic my up one and I'll pay you back. I resorted to getting Barriss Offee at TOY ANXIETY today.

    I Spoke with Ron Lewis over TOY ANXIETY this afternoon (A guy I always trust in the name of Star Wars collecting), he says that there is a big problem right now with how much the toy stores and other toy retailers (Target, Walmart, etc...) have in stock and they are having a hard time liquidating them. Hence the BUY ONE GET ONE FREE at KB toys right now. Kenner has the toys ready to ship and in some cases already have. The problem is that not enough stores are ordering from Hasbro. There's the update on that.

    Toy Anxiety has been getting some of the newer stuff in lately since they order right from Kenner. Only thing is, you'd be paying about twice as much. But for those of you with the cash and lack of patience, go for it! :D their site is WWW.TOYANXIETY.COM

    The ONLY new one I have right now is Barriss Offee. Any will do at this point. Thanks for looking again though. Keep those eyes pealed people!

    PS. Kay Bee and Fiesta Mall's SW selection is starting to drop rapidly. I hope this means new Figures soon! I'm not sure but I know they tend to get their trucks in on Tuesdays or thursdays.

    I was at Walmart at Priest and Elliot in Tempe and came accross the Clone Trooper Pilot Wave. I picked up a couple extra Destroyer Droids with firing missiles. If anyone needs these, PM me. You don't see these ones many places right now. At least not in my neck of the woods. ;)
    My guess is that this was a box they had in the back for a while and was waiting to put out. Never give up! Keep looking!

    To whom it may concern...

    In my quest for disney park music I came across a place to order the star tours figures from Disney

    The Laughing Place Store

    From what I've found, this is a very large, well traveled, and reputable site.

    Thanks Void!
    Anyone do any hunting this weekend? Any successes? I wasn't able to stop by Kay Bee this week. Maybe next week. My Walmart, like I said earlier, had the clone pilot wave but that was all. May the Force be with You, collectors!

    I shall be stopping by my local Kay Bee tonight...and possibly cleaning out the remaining LEGO SW sets they had the last time I was there. I still have no idea what to do with the army of boxed Droid Fighters I procured last month, however.

    I also just picked up a 12" AT-AT Driver and a 12" Snowtrooper on eBay for super cheap, and an EU Dark Trooper and Space Trooper. :D

    Cool deal! I also had a nice Ebay find this week: EU Grand Admiral Thrawn for only $5.00! Doesn't get any better than that!

    UPDATE: At KB Toys (at least the one AZ Mills) they are still doing the "buy one get another free" on regular SW action figures. But BEST OF ALL, they have their Value Four-Packs down to only $8! So there's one heck of a deal! Also all lightsabers have been marked down from 25 bucks to only 18! Good deals! I didn't check the 12" figs. Sorry :(

    MASTER - I would give TOY ANXIETY a call. AT least they can keep their eye out for one!

    They're dealers but they're among the cheapest dealers I've worked with. They're cool! :D

    PS. (Sigh) 99th post... missed the 100th by one....
