Thought maybe a thread to keep track of what everyone is looking for might be a good idea since we are all within mailing/visiting distance. Networking me
thinks eh... or, as my former boss (who speaks with an accent) would say... okay.. hook'em brother up okay!!!!
Whatcha all lookin' fo'.....
I am hoping for the Dark Empire comic pack and the new Obi Wan (Ben) Kenobi with holo Leia and table.
I know there's a lot of product coming that looks good but I have scaled back and there are only a few here and there that I plan to add to my collection
so I am easy to keep an eye out for....

Great thread idea! I guess my current interest is on discounted last 12" Indiana Jones figures. At a closing Kay-Bee I got a Dovchenko and would like to
get a marked-down Indy in German fatigues (with RPG) and a Mutt (with leather jacket).
I know Justin is looking for a translucent "Mercenary Wraith" from GI-Joe right now. |

Yes I am looking for that Campbell , thank you. I could have sworn I saw the Indy in German fatigues but now its not there. I'll be visiting some different
stores soon so there is hope. The sarlac pit set at Target is still over $50.00 as of yesterday.

The Sarlacc Pit/Skiff is still on my want list, but I won't pay much for it. It's $53 or so each place I've seen it.

Cool..... I returned something to the mall today and stopped back into the Kay Bee and it is quite picked over. Didn't see any Indy stuff that's for
sure but never really look at the Joe stuff. I will def keep my eyes out for the stuff everyone mentions and like I said, since we are all pretty much close
enough to hook each other up from time to time, we should keep each other in mind. My budget is usually on a budget but when I can swing it I am always up for
pickin stuff up for others.
OH... the stores have reset the toy areas so hopefully anyday now we'll be seeing some new stuff. |

Tony, I have seen the Darth Revan Mighty Mugg at Urban Outfitters but I don't think you'd want it- it's like $17.95 or so. It's definitely well
above the cost in normal stores.

Yeah, no kidding. I did see the other Mighty Muggs in the series Revan is in but missed out on Revan so far. I'll be hunting for him this week.

Saw more $53 Sarlaccs today at Target. At leas they're not gone- maybe I'll catch the next price lowering.
The word from Yakface is that some Targets are clearing out their Big Millenium Falcons for $35!!! That's at the top of my want list for now. |

I've been to 6 different Targets outside of Florida in the past 10 days and only one still had the Millenium Falcon on the shelf. It was $99.00.
GI Joe - translucent Mercenary Wraith variant ; first appeared on shelf before Thanksgiving Indiana Jones Temple of Doom figures ; I only know of 3 places these have been available since first found this past fall season. Kroger's Grocery has stores around Jackson Mississippi, north Alabama, north Georgia and few locations in other southeastern states. Most Krogers are supposedly sold out of these. Meijer's has more scattered locations in eastern U.S. My friend found his set at Once Upon a Toy by a stroke of luck. BOO Hasbro!!! Anyone else looking for these? Coming soon- Hasbro Marvel 3.75" figures like Spiderman, Silver Surfer, etc. There will be a gray variant Hulk instead of the normal green. Most likely impossible to find like the translucent Mercenary Wraith Good news! I found the Mattel Batman 2-pack with Two-Face at Target . It was clearance priced at $2.75. I was watching ebay auctions end with the same item for $14.00. |

I'm looking for the ToD figures, but not that hard. I'm glad about the Meijer's tip- I'm having my Dad pick those up in Kentucky should he ever
run into them there or Kroger's.
Good for you on the Two-Face. I've not run into that or the Wraith. I also have not seen super-discounted Falcons. Not even one. |

Still pretty bare here.. sigh. All the stores are reset but there's not even old product out there. Matter of fact.. lots of the other isles are pretty
bare too. Plenty of empty pegs with higher priced stickers tho.. sheesh.

Don't feel bad, Roman. Pretty bare here as well. The only thing I have found recently are some of the LEGO sets I wanted and the Mighty Muggs Revan. The
Transformers stuff has been reset but I already have all but one of the few TFs I wanted. I never thought my TF collection would take the backseat to something
else, much less SW. Go fig.

spirityoda: empty pegs with higher priced stickers Boy howdy! I'm seeing the higher prices, too. I'm looking forward to convention season. This'll be the first year I'll be looking into loose figures. |

Loose figures can be a good thing. Heck I usually open all my figures now anyways so if I can save a few bucks on an open one I say why not.

Just saw a post with pics of the ANH wave... seems they are finally appearing. Still droolin' for that Obi Wan so maybe we will start seeing more product
in our neck of the woods too!! Its crazy... I haven't been this excited about a figure in what seems to be a very long time and I am just
"chompin' at the bit" for this one!!! Happy hunting gang! Oh, I noticed on the reciept the guy had that he got them at Target and they were
6.94 which is cheaper than the pegs are reading at Wal Mart. Last year they went up at Wal Mart but then went right back down so maybe that'll be the case
again this season.

I hope you're right. I know we will still occasionally gets sales at each store. K-mart has been consistently more expensive but they did have that sale
before Christmas at $5.00 each. Then I took their flyer into Walmart to have them price match .

I'll keep an eye out for them but recommend you check the clearance aisles of Target ($1.74 last week) and Marshall's for the Last Crusade wave($3.99).
Wish you'd asked a couple of weeks ago, I've seen tons!

Always a procrastinator!
Now that I bought the BSG titaniums, may be tempted to pick up SW ones now. Loose or carded. The cheaper, the better! http://www.OrlandoMobileTinting.com |
