or is everyone else still stick with 800 qui gon jinns?
I've gone the route of Amazon. So far, they have been a mixed bag as fare as card creasing. I open almost everything so I'm fine but a MOCer would be annoyed. You'll pay more than retail but it was worth the $12 I spent to get the 4 figures I wanted.
They come in and out of stock. I was able to get Nom Anor, Darth Malgus, Tarking and the Bounty Hunter Girl.
Been finding the Malgus wave at Target and TRU and the Nom Anor wave at Walmart during the past month. No sign of the 501st Trooper/Wedge revision case or the new Tarkin wave.
Only found 1 complete case/wave of vintage since January; the Dr. Evazan Wave, which strangely enough hit the new Prototype Store 5 minutes from my house. Anyone trip to this new store beside this find has been a complete waste. Nothing anywhere else in over 6 months at any retailer.
I tried the relocation move with Phantom Menace Wave at my local Target and they got in another case of Phantom Menace Wave. I got fed up and ordered the Starkiller Case from BBTS which was expensive, but I got 7 figures I wanted from the wave, gave some to a few fellow collectors, and I only have a couple of repacks to get rid of. I have never get lucky with Amazon; everything is always gone by the time I get there...
It's really a shame that some of the great figures hitting in these past waves are getting missed because Hasbro is so poorly managed. I can only imagine how expensive these figures will be at Celebration 6.
I've seen Secura, Nom Anor, and Kithaba two different times at one Walmart location but nothing at any other Walmart.
I haven't been able to get to TRU on truck day so everything is usually gone a day or two later. The last newer figure I saw at a TRU was the Clone Wars Anakin in a crushed bubble.
Shae Vizla was being sold by Amazon? I did get a Malgus for $12.99.
I haven't found any new vintage single carded figures since the deleted scenes down here in South Texas. I was forced to go online. I too ordered from Amazon: Aayla, Dr. Evazon, Wedge, Nom Anor, Luke Hoth, Darth Malgus, Tarkin and Nikto. The most expensive was $12.99. Much better than running around to all the local Wal Marts and Target plus free shipping.
Anyway, the gas isn't a problem, they are all on my way to work, but it's the time wasted that was annoying. If I find Shae and Garek at the stores I will pick them up, otherwise they are not as important to me to collect.
But I did find the new Villain 3-pack at Target with the new Snaggletooth. It was only $14.99.
Local Walmart just put out another case of Phantom Menace Wave...how much if this garbage is there!!!!!
