Nice looking Luke Spooky!

Well I have been hearing about VTC figures hitting a store called 5 Below. Never heard of these stores so I googled it and found out there is one an hour away. I had to take my computer in for repairs so that made the store 20 minutes drive away. Boy did I hit the mother load! Scored 6 Gamorian Guards, 2 Wedge fighter pilot, and picked up an extra Vader, Stormie and Imperial Naval commander. What a great day!

Spry - if they have more Imp Naval Cmdrs, we can do some trading!  That fig is from the (several) waves that never showed in my area...

Well I bought my daughter the wal-mart 8 pack that had Aayla and Scuba Ahsoka in it. For $25 bucks this felt like an absolute steal. Thinking about going back and picking up more, but wow the articulation on these seems terrible (besides Aayla).

Yep, Hasbro has a spurt of crappy articulation.  Shame on them.  I think they figure on the TCW figs that knee/ankle/wrist articulation isn't important to kids and they can eliminate those joints, saving beaucoup $$s in the process.  (Yes, now that I'm a semi-competent caster, I realize just how difficult and expensive certain casting options and operations can be!!  But there are limits, guys!!)  One of the 8-packs I've seen includes the "Jetpack Anakin" and "Theed Amidala" figures, which are really poorly articulated.  You kinda gotta watch to see which fig's are included in the 8-packs.  But yeah, they are a steal.

I know most grocery stores sell some toys, but what ones sell Star Wars figures?
