    What figures or Items are the most sought after or rare? I just want to know what to look for.

    Thanks

    The pregant Padme was the rare item last night where I was. I hit a another TRU after the one I was at and managed to snag one which was cool. The senate guards seemed to be a hot item last night as well.

    Forbidden Planet (UK) had a ton of Pregnant Padmes. However the figure it didn't have was the Blue Royal Guard. They did have Red Guards though.

    Wave 4.
    None were anywhere to be found.

    Everything else was pretty much even.
    At the first stop we thought the red guards were the big one, only one in the entire place (and a scalper got it and was gloating) , but on the next stop it was reversed and what was perhaps short at location one was plentiful at location two.
    Out of four stops this stayed true through all.

    At midnight Darth Vader and the red royal guards.

    Then today I found the Vaders..but still hard to find is the red royal guard.

    All in all I am happy with the ammount of each figure available.

    Everywhere I went last night and this morning it seemed that the Red Royal Gguard was the most sought after and hardest to find. After about 20 cases had been opened there were only 3, one each for me and my two buddies. We also noticed that the Anakin with full cloak and dark eyes came up with only a 3 count as well. The Grievous 12" and Unleashed seemed to fly off the shelf, as well as the pricy ultimate villain Anakin/Vader.

    My wife and I along with a good friend of ours went to Midnight Madness at 2 locations. It seemed that anything numbered #29 and above were hard, as well as the Red Guard. This morning I was able to get to Target, pick up the exclusive, #29 - #32, as well as several Red Royal Guards. The question is which one if any are rare ? Red or Blue?

    Any of the clones were hard to find except clone trooper #6, but even then #6 just flew off the shelf.

    Clonetroopers were bought fast at my Wal-Mart, so I went to the tent and bought 3 Clones. They were all gone in 2 minutes.

    The Blue guard is the variant. But the Red ones are hard to find as well. I was able to get a Red one. But I think the Blue Guards are harder to find.

    I noticed the Deluxe Emperor Palpatine was rare last night too. I was able to get the only one I think. But that is one awesome figure!

    Depending on area, there seems to be a lot of differences with the availability of the Senate Guard. For me, the blue ones were easy to find but I found only one red one.

    I noticed that the RED Royal Guard is not even featured on the card backs....only the Blue one is (#23).

    Which one is more rare if any?

    Also I only saw 1 type of Clone Trooper (#6) are there more?

    Yes there are more different styles of clone troopers, there is basic clone trooper #6 and basis clone trooper #41 along with clone commanders and pilots.

    ps there is also commander bacara and an AT-TE gunner to name them all.

    I went to TRU first when they opened (no midnight maddness at this TRU) and they had 20+ blue guards and not one red guard. Then I went to K-B toys and they had 5-6 red guards but no blue .

    both stores didn't have any over #30

    but i got vader, padme, Mon mothma, and a red guard (and others)

    I just got home, spent $20 bucks...Walmart has the best price for the figures 5.27, thats where I got them, except the Lava Vader from Target.


    The ones that are rare around here are:

    Royal Guard Blue and Red
    Clone Pilot
    Vader?s Medical Droid
    AT-TE Tank Gunner
    Palpatine (blue saber)
    Polis Massan
    Mas Amedda

    I have all the other figures but them. Im leaving again to go to other stores to search.

    One thing that SUCKS is that no one has had any of the books, posters, etc for some reason. Pissed me off.

    Forbidden Planet had a lot of Mon Mothma, Vader's Medical Droid, Polis Massan, and Mas Amedda. Didn't see a Clone Pilot. Bought the AT-TE Tank Gunner. Not sure on the Palpatine. Plenty of Red guards, no Blue.
    Did anyone find Commander Bacara or is he a future release?

    Up here in Calgary, #1-#32 are all over the place today (Walmart, Zellers, TRU)

    There have been zero Blue Royal Guards spotted up here to my knowledge. Reds are pretty easy to find.

    TRU was the only store that had anything over #32 (I snagged #37 up to #40).

    Best surprise deal was finding a Boga/Obi at Sears for $9.99 Cdn. :)

    I'm not sure what would considered rare here. Like I've said elsewhere, I didn't see anything past #32 this morning. That could be because people already bought them, or because we didn't get them yet. It's hard to say.

    According to the checklist rebelscum posted less than a week ago, some of the items were not specifically available for midnight madness, but were expected to be available in April.

    Although I'm happy with what I got (Tri-fighter, Magna Gaurd, and Clone trooper #6) All I could find in the tents were wave 1 and 2. I did see the blue guards pregnant padmes, and vaders, but I did wnt the ARC Fighter, AT-TE Tank Gunner, and Clone Commander.

    Up here in Montreal, I couldn't find any Blue Royal Guards...and I went EVERYWHERE...is it possible that it wasn't included in the Canadian wave?

    Here in Stockton, CA, the rarest had to be the red Royal Guards. There also did not seem to be any figures around that were above Mon Mothma's 24. I was able to get Padme just fine. It just depends on where you went. I just wish there could have been more beyond 24 though. Kinda blew but hey, there's plenty of time to get what everyone wants.
