Nice score Flak!  My stores have not gotten even a single wave after the TPM wave.  Sad, for sure.  I did get my Commander Bacara 12" figure from Sideshow last week.  Hoping to get some pictures of it taken soon so I can get a nice review guide done for it.

Wow, that one looked good Pat. If I were a Clone Collector Sideshow would have me broke. Looking forward to your review.

Thanks for the skippy Spooky. That looks like a good set, I heard they were ringing up at 15 bucks too!

Yeah, I've only been collecting the Commanders, though I'd much prefer OT trooper figures.  Commander Fox came out as a SDCC Exclusive this week, and I still may get him, though I do try to draw the occasional line somewhere!  Waiting big time on that Snowtrooper, and they sure better release the Biker Scout sooner rather than later!!!

Picked up a Rebel Transport Speeder this morning at TJ Maxx for $9.99. They also had the Geonosian Speeder but I passed on it.

I hear you on those Imperial Troopers Pat. Hopefully we will get them all including the AT-AT Driver, Tie Pilot, and Veers too.

I just went through Walmart and saw the Tarkin Wave. Of course all the good ones were gone. There might be another SW Hunter in my local store I thought was all mine to pick through.

I did get an Amazon.com purchase today:

The Essential Guide to Warfare. Looks awesome at first glance.

I'm thinking I may snag one if I can find it fairly cheap to use as the rear-end of a swoop-bike idea I'm tossing about...

Well I went back and scrounged up some of that new Wave 5. I was glad I did because I found a Hoth Luke I had missed. I picked up a Nikto for Spry and I picked up the Tarkin. The Tarkin I picked up for some lucky Yarder who pms me first for it. The cost will be my cost ($9.50 plus shipping). I also saw they had Wedge Pilot, Blu-Ray Luke, and Oddball.

Just ordered the Sideshow exclusive Snowtrooper 12" figure!  He looks great, but the E-Web cannon accessory was another $150, and I just couldn't pull the trigger on that one!

Daggone you getting me into the higher end collectibles Pat. I just bit on both! There went an easy $300, but I couldn't not get that Web Cannon. I gotta be honest though, I hope they wait to reveal the next Hoth Imperial next year though. That kinda hurt!

The way things have been going, it'll be Clone Wars the rest of the year.  It's sad, but I also understand their mentality of it all.  There are so many OT figures that I want, it's a lot easier to pass up all the PT figures coming out.

Amazon has been a boon to me, got Malgus, Shae, Oddball, a Gamm Guard, a couple of Fordos. The free shipping is a nice touch.

Amen, if you are a loose guy. I will admit I was able to salvage two Malgus' off of there though. Good to meet you Enigmatic One.
