I might have to add one of em to my ship collection if I can figure out where to put it now! I might just have to drop the coin if I can get this in addition to the Bwing they are gonna have out.

Stopped by Lee's Summit super target, today. their figs were marked down to $4.46 but the pegs were all but bare.
4 FU female Imperal officers and a couple of Saga figs. No vehicles and no sign of restock. Usually this store has lots of stuff.
  I will have the wife check out her Wally World, tomorrow. :P

Nothing new at Harrisonville's Wal-Mart.  They just redesigned the inside of that store and the toy section is in an entirely different place. They havent made any room for restock. Perhaps that means that the old stuff will go on clearence when the new stuff arrives.

stopped at independance Wal-mart today about 2pm. They had most of the wave 1 legacy figs and of the wave 1 Clone wars figs.There evolutions were wiped out as were any battle packs they might of had.  The BMF and AT-TE were in full force with the $20 ships in a mid-isle display. Some of the bigger boxes were dinged as Tamer had reported. I take it Wal-mart was the only chain to be issued these displays. they also had all of the build a droid sets on an endcap at the opposite end of the Star Wars stuff.

  Then I went to the Ind Super Target and found only the remnants of both wave 1 figs and 1 AT-TE. No exclusives except for a red marked clone mask. There display consisted of two endcaps and about a 4 ft wide space of one of the isles.

Then, I went to the TRu store there that did not stage the midnight madness sale. They might have had an impressive display at opening  right at the front of the store, but it was a bit picked over by this afternoon. remnants of wave 1 and 2 of legacy and wave 1 of the clone wars. they did have the first rebel evolutions and fett evolutions packs. no b-wing, no grievous,nor the scuba trooper or the quad trooper that I was looking for. No battle packs either.
  I plan to hit Harrisonville Wal-Mart tomorrow morning. that is, If the wifey delivers a promising report.
It was great saving ten percent of the BMF price with my associates discount. I plan on using that savings more tomorrow if I can.

Its kind of wierd that your TRU had the evol pilots, but the 2 I stopped at didn't, seems like not all the stores get the same stuff in at the same time.

yepper, from what I see it looks like the padme and the one pilot set is out now and the other two come out a little later. Ofcourse their street dates for the stuff are way off.

I have seen the other pilot sets on ebay already.
  Sent the wife on a clone recon mission at Harrisonvile wal-mart, yesterday. She came up with 3 hidden figs. Two quad gunners and a scuba trooper. They were hidden all the way in the back of the cardboard display, on the bottom row.

She says that she checks the SW section of her store twice a day. That's almost as often as Chad.  ;D LOL
