Dans find is another example of figures hitting the store before their preordered versions hit my front porch.

That's an interesting point here, Clint! And what's even more impressive to me is the condition of your cards! Excellent finds, gentlemen! It's almost too good to believe that Walmart a) has figures at all on pegs again and b) they are not crushed like they had been rolled over by a Tiger VI!

So I did arrive late to a Walmart that must have also had this case as I found a bib fortuna, and what a pretty card it is.
Should have went to that one yesterday. They did have parts of that carbonized wave as well.

Also, we went to a Tuesday Morning store which is kind of a TJ Maxx type store that will sometimes get overstocked items from other sources

There I found 2 tantive 4 play sets at $19.99 each

Had to bring them home

Nice price on those Tantive Sets Clint!

I need to make sure I have my wife check the SW aisle if she goes into a store today.

I forgot to mention that Bib fortuna had not been entered into the stores system yet and it wouldn’t ring up at the likely self serve register.
The CSM who cleared it put in $5 as the figure cost before I rang up.
  Didnt stop at Walmart today but I am curious about what’s on the pegs.
I wonder about those early shipped classified joes as well.

I got my bo katan wave case today from EE. Good cards of course, factory sealed case. It's a really great wave. Would like an extra mythrol and bib fortuna though.

Nice JDeck, I am waiting on my case from EE of that same wave.

Clint, awesome ornament, it is one my family got me for Xmas too. To me, this was the best one they offered this year.

Now this is how you should get your figures (this one shipped from EE):

This is the way. As long as they're not flooded with repacks or bad ones anyway, I'll buy cases. Less likely to get bad cards too. If Pulse offered full cases I'd go through them.


I got a couple of Tantive IV playsets. I didn't get them at first because the Rebel fleet troopers were so expensive, id be better off buying 4 playsets, just for the figures. Since pulse offered the fleet trooper 4pack, i was glad to get a couple. Fortunately, on Amazon the playsets and vehicles can go for under MSRP. I got these at $32 each, of course after I bought them the price lowered to under $30. Still a good deal.

Was playing with it, once I got the two together, tried a Rogue One shot. I could be doing it wrong because I don't read instructions, but I had to flip one side to make a hallway. It's really not a big deal, but there is a difference. Ill find the instructions, and see what's up with that. Found the instructions, none for joining two sets together in this configuration, so you have to flip one side, up side down to get it to work.  Anyway I used the Rogue one Vader with the 5poa cape.  Lightsaber effect with the saber android app.  Smoke effect using the microfogger3.

Got my TVC Maldo Kries deluxe mando.  Once the 6" scale spider comes in, one of the first set ups I'll do for the crest is maldo kreis.

Oh, I wish I had both of those!
Very nice scores.
That hallway shot was great!
