this is the weekly ad, it says Y wing but shows the ARC 170...I believe it's both online and in store.

Hm.   The TRU sale email I got today only had 20% SW stuff in it.  I'm jealous!  (well, I dunno - I'm working on scoring some other stuff that should assuage my sadness over possibly missing out on an ARC170...maybe...)  ;D  (of course, they had some stuff in there that I wanted...)

Just read over at scum that a better articulated version of the republic commando delta squad is to be released as a tru exclusive also available at entertainment earth. I guess that they are to be unveiled at sdcc later in the month.

Any idea when these will hit the shelves?  I'm sure we've all been after the commandos for awhile...

The Toysrus in Altoona only had the yellow helmed rots clone troopers on the pegs. It was awful, I sure hope they stock these in quantity.

This is probably common sense, but if TRU is one of the only "good" places for you to get action figures, or you shop there a lot, you should remember to get a Rewards R Us Card...  They send you $5 certificates if you hit $150 (man, that's a high number just for $5...), but, if you spend hundreds there, it might be something to think about.  Other than that though, I don't think it saves you anything, like a grocery store card, so I don't really know what the point is, if they have their spending limit set at $150.  (?)

I walked into my local tru yesterday and found a huge star wars display right at the front of the store. The display was picked over and couldnt believe my eyes when I seen a lone Commander Colt fig right on the front of a peg. I went back to the normal star wars section and found a riot control clone, also right on the front of their picked over pegs. I also noticed that their exclusive Rise of Boba Fett ubp was marked down to $75 although they were all gone.

Same here.  I said to myself, "it's back, again", as I saw it...  I love when they have a SW display in the front; (mainly because that means more figs in the other selection...)   ;D

Yeah my TRU had the dislay up but there wasn't any figures hanging up. Just a couple peg warmers. I guess it got raided out already. They told me they were going to restock it so we'll see if I can get lucky.

Both of ours reset and one is just pathetic with no stock at all, new or otherwise to cover all the empty pegs. They didn't even have enough to put out their 4 way stand.

The other store was a little better with at least remnants of some new TCW figures and the Artillery Cannon.

Went back today and they had more stuff out. They had a couple of Savages (shirtless) an Aqua droid and a Commander Wolffe. I didn't buy anything though. The only things I want for CW is the new Ahsoka and Chewie. I did manage to find some 30 Ann. G.I. Joe. So I grabbed a Steel Brigade and a Sgt. Stalker. There is a new TRU openning in my area on Friday so maybe I can find Ahsoka and Chewie then.

I was passing by two TRUs on Tuesday, both had the TFU battlepack and the Republic Commandos.
Picked up both packs, of course.
