I thought the K-3P0 was based off the Endor C-3P0,  articulated body and jointed knees, I hope it isnt a straight re-pack, however I am liking the R5-M2, and the Probe Droid (just shows Hasbro can paint old figures and make them look new).

So, has anyone besides Clint actually picked this up?

Hoth Recon Set aside, I went to my bigger walmart that had the big store release last Saturday to see what the damage was. There were six BMF's left which meant six sold and there were still 7 at-te sold which meant 5 sold.  For my very rural stores, thats a pretty good sale so far when thats a large chunk of change to let go. I look for these all to be gone in another month or so. Maybe hasbro will have to do a reset on these bigger ships by xmas season. There were still legacy and cw wave 1 to be found. I also saw plenty of GH figs too. The only wave that was completely gone was the Legacy Wave 2. I knew folks would love that wave.  The only figure I was able to find from this wave was a Quarren soldier and nothing else. It also looks like the spider droid is the popular ship as they were gone. there was only one Torrent left too.  They still didnt have any of the newer battlepacks set out yet or maybe they were just all bought, but I did see there was a column of pegs set up for the 9.96 clone trooper which I am assuming is the 501s join figure. I will be going back in a few days and will see if they have filled the pegs.

Ok you guys talked me into the Hoth Recon BP. It is nice and I do like Hoth. Wish they had done something with Han and Chewie, but the droids are all sure nice.

On another front, I noticed something new in GIJOE today, what are the battle packs they have now that say build the M.A.S.S.  machine or something like that. They also came with dvd's. This looked like an awesome set. I saw two kinds; one with destro and another with a firebat looking guy. Cool stuff.

Poor guy, not able to get your big ships. I feel for you. I couldnt get out of the store without em. I can imagine what the folks in my walmart thought when I started inspecting the boxes of each one, but I didnt care. I had Chad to keep my straight on the phone.

It was a little overwelming trying to keep everything straight.

well noting major to report. I had a 1st issue han in my hands till I noticed he had a pretty bad crease. Almost Greg. I have yet to see Legacy Wave 2 at that store either or any of the ATTE's or BMFs. They may not get any of those though, they are pretty small.

I am still seeing those neat GI Joe figs, including that build the m.a.s.s. driver machine with the dvd's. I am kinda hoping they do something like this for Clone Wars when they release the movie and tv episodes on sale in dvds.

I did see some Marvel Legends on the clearance rack for five bucks. Thye had the torch, the white queen, and banshee. They put a few SW things there, but t hey still have em at full price.

cool deal Rune. That is a nice win. Wish I had luck like that. I didnt see squat at the stores. I did have the SW shop senate security in the mail when I got home. The box wasnt damaged for once either.

went on a longer run to hit toysrus today and came up with a minty Bwing, holo grievous, clone speeder bike recon bp, the two new comic packs, and the imperial pilot evo set. That last one is sure nice imo. I hope we see tons of those removeable helmet pilots. I love the aotc version.
