yea I saw some of these along w/ jabba clearanced down to $18 at the Target in Lufkin. If they had the shadow troopers excl. one, I might've picked up one or 2 heh

My Walmart did not have any of those larger 6 inch figure sets.
They do have a Stormtooper Han still at full price. They have nothing else.
I would not be surprised if they do not restock until October.

All those Jawas came from different sources. Childhood collection, yard sales, thrift stores, collectible shows and online forums.

I love the Potf2 jawas. They are awesome. I wish i had some of the droids to go with them. I do have a potf2 R5d4, but no gonk droid and a few others. I saw a decent used sandcrawler at a thrift store last month. If I'd known how expensive they can be I would have bought it.

saw this at a local TrU

Defzombie · 08-25-2015, 03:47 PM

Found this at Wal Mart and it was in the system so they let me buy it

This "First Order Special Forces Tie Fighter" However they would not let me take.

sorry for the blurry pics I was in a hurry!

Luke is pretty awesome. I love how Luke's faces and hair are interchangeable DBZ style and the joints are nice and tight on him. Maybe a little too tight in the left shoulder. The only issue I have with him is that his right Lightsaber gripping hand comes out of the joint way too easily, making it frustrating to put him into dynamic poses while holding the saber.

Luke:

Fantastic pictures Dr.Kain, I really love how they turned out!

I had a similar issue with the weapon gripping hands on my Figma Solid Snake. I was able to remedy this by simply removing the joint, and plugging it in reverse (with the longer end going into the hand, while the shorter piece fitting into the wrist.) Now Snake never drops his weapon, even when posed extensively. I don't have any of the Star Wars Figurearts, but I can't imagine the joints to be all that different. Perhaps that trick might work for you?

Figma uses different wrists from what the Figuarts use.

Flash episode with the trickster was the best episode of the season till the writers got bored and ended it with the usual cheap robbing hostages cliché

Just some Star Wars pics from my Revoltech collection.

Il Cattivo · 08-27-2015, 12:20 PM

picked up leia boushh this morning. wasn't really planning on buying her but wth.

still looking for jawas and han...

estylez23 · 08-27-2015, 01:39 PM

New guy here. Finally decided to join so I could also share in my findings. My local Walmart had a half dozen or so Black Series 6" Obi, Bespin Luke and Hans on clearance for $7.00. Boxes were a little rough around the edges but I figured at that price why the hell not. Targets also had a dozen or so Scout Troopers with speeder on clearance for $17. Passed on those. My best finds were yesterday. Couldn't buy the Scout Trooper or Luke Air Hogs as they weren't in the system but I grabbed some of the others.

estylez23 · 08-27-2015, 02:21 PM

Forgot I also found this back on August 8 at my local TRU. Of course I noticed the packaging but didn't think much more of it since it wasn't a Force Awakens character.

tgbobafett · 08-27-2015, 03:05 PM

sry for not being toys, but i got these today! the puzzle from TrU and the shirts from Walmart! Puzzle was $11.99 and the shirts were only $8.44 each
