Friday, Nov. 20th:
I had a message on my voice mail today from Lisa at Kay Bee west in Madison. It appears that they are expecting to get the 12" 3-packs in on Tuesday. She wasn't sure and said to call them if I hadn't received a call by 3:00.
Greg L. reports that Farm & Fleet in Waukesha had in 6 Luke / Wampa beast packs today. Also, that several Waukesha area Targets have had the 12" Luke / Wampa.
Thursday, Nov. 19th:
Wal-Mart east in Madison and Sun Prairie
have figures marked down to $2.76. There area many figures out there that still have the $2 off coupons giving you a net total of $.76 figures. Who can pass on this? Not me since I picked up 60 figures today, but I left dozens more.Shopko east in Madison had in the Action Fleet Episode I playset today as well. They may be less expensive than the rest since they are running a sale right now. I couldn't find a price for them today, so I can't say for certain.
Wednesday, Nov. 18th:
The link for the Episode I trailer in yesterday's news doesn't seem to be up any more, but the trailer can now be downloaded from
www.StarWars.com. Again, these servers are extremely overloaded so it takes some luck to get through.The only toy news today is that Wal-Mart east in Madison got in some of the Stormtrooper blasters with the new deco. These have been out at the west side store for some time now.
Tuesday, Nov. 17th:
The Episode I trailer premiered today. Click SPOILER
here SPOILER to see the report from Greg L. who saw it here in Wisconsin. Also, click here to try to download the trailer. I say try since I wasn't able to get it to download.If you ordered the 12" 3-pack from Kay Bee west in Madison, it looks like you will have to wait longer. It has been over two weeks since the east side had these, so I don't know what is holding up the west side.
Wal-Mart west in Madison had two of their exclusive 6" R2-D2 as of 4:30 this afternoon.
Monday, Nov. 16th:
K-Mart in Occonamawauk
(I'm sure I spelled that wrong) had in the Luke/Wampa beast pack. If you live near Mequin, don't forget to go see the Episode I trailer tomorrow. I would love to hear reports on what this trailer is like. TRU has the F/X X-Wing on sale for $39.99 so if you were waiting to get one of these, now might be the time. Shopko's Star Wars sale will be ending this Saturday. Right now, because of the sale, STAPs are $12.99, the best. Aaron is reporting seeing 12" Cantina Band Members at Wal-Marts in the Fox Valley. See his site for more information.
