Well, my wife and I went to see our first movie together since last year so I took a few minutes to pop into the super Wal-Mart and fye that were a part of the mall the theatre was in. No luck. The Wally World had more of the same AOTC Wave and daggone that is like the fourth store I have seen it restocked. I am thinking the stores must be putting out inventory based on peg space and that perhaps they do have the new goodies, but are only putting out the AFs based on previous cases they have in storage. If thats the case it is gonna be stinking for me for a long time. I also took the time to see if there were any new Joes or CA figs and came up empty there too. I know one thing, I don't know what they are gonna do with all the yellow helmed stormies, rots clones, and the twotwelve clones but they are using up over half of my peg space. It stinks. That might be a good question for Hasbro.
The FYE actually had new figures on the pegs, but they weren't from wave seven. It was the AT-RT Clone Trooper Wave, whichever one that was. It was still nice to see they have restocked again so I have another store to at least look. I hate the tags on the back of the cards, but at least they aren't on the front. At only a dollar above Wal-Mart now, I could easily see me getting some from there and taking that tag off. I appreciate Paul from JTA to putting me onto that particular store btw. I swear I have never seen the pegs so clogged with useless SW items and the drought of new goodies is as bad as I have ever seen it.
I did see that Hasbro has created their own line of Lagos that they are calling Kre-O and that they have some neat looking transformers out in that line up. The Optimus Prime was very cool and it makes me wonder if they are planning on making a run at the Star Wars line eventually. It would only make sense, but then again its Hasbro we are talking about. I hope your store searches have been more fruitful and I thank the Yarders who are looking for that elusive Bespin Han and Fordo for me. It is beginning to look like you folks are my only hope and I ain’t trying to sound like Leia!
