Now that Wal-Marts in the US seem to be carrying the 6" Black series, for a week or so, Storm Troopers were briefly easy to find in my area, but they all disappeared quickly.
Surprisingly, it seems that those of us who are taking a completionist approach to the 6" Black series are going to have to largely rely on Walgreens to find Vader and Chewie, since they seem to be a goldmine (at least in certain areas so far) for these figures, and no one else is restocking this line.

I've pretty much all have all but given up on trying to find SWB figures in the wild. I either pre-order or don't bother at this point. Most of my local stores are swimming in Greedos and Leias, and have been for well over 6 months now, with no end in sight. Many of my local Targets are now resorting to spacing out the figures on the displays to fill pegs so they no longer need to replenish them, since they are technically plenty in stock. It's really deflating and disheartening.

I have to scratch my head on Hasbro's case selections at times. I often wonder if the pegs would be as full as they are with old product had Leia and Greedo been the shortpacks, with Troopers, Fett, Hans being the two or mores in the case. Releasing an SDCC two pack featuring two characters already pegwarming everywhere (Greedo and Han) with the only difference being a cardboard diorama doesn't exactly strike me as the smartest idea either...
