Well here goes;
I walked into my closest walmart around 7am to find they didnt have anything out. So I drove to my other somewhat local walmart and hit the jackpot. They everything except for the battlepacks and excluisve walmart 501. It is looking to me like target is the only store that actually has thier store exclusive figure available for purchase. Anyhow, I picked up 1st day of issue for the Clone Wars, Legacy Wave 1, and what I am calling Legacy Wave 3 except for the Gree which didnt seem to have a first day of issue sticker on the dozen or so I looked at. I did see later at my local walmart they had set out the battlepacks and I almost bought the speeder bike recon, but it looked so much like the Neyo one last year I held off. I want to save my money for those evolutions and as the Hoth speeder bike one had one corner dinged up I was glad to know Chad already had found me one. I really do like the new clone wars packaging of these battle packs though. I had the other Hoth bp in my hands for a bit too, but it sure didn't seem worth it to me, at least not next to the speeder bike recon and the hoth speeder patrol. My closest walmart still hadn't set out the regular basic figures or new ships yet though. One toy stocker said she didnt think that would be till monday when the toy manager got off vacation. Just my luck the toy manager goes on vacation when the new toys are supposed to hit. I also didnt see the exclusive Awing yet. I think the only thing I was disappointed in was the atte and the falcon, not the ships, but how the displays were set up. I think anyone who is a carded collector like me is gonna have one heck of a time if they really expect total momc. I picked through the entire display and got the best boxed version of each, but each of them has issues to a trained eye. If I see these later in better boxed shape I may just return these and pick up the better version, but they sure do look good even with a few box dings.
