Thursday, Feb. 4th:

Wal-Mart east in Madison got in 3 cases of Classic 8 figures this morning. Dave P. tells me that Target east in Madison also got in some of these. At least figures are still being shipped. I was starting to wonder.

The new Insider is out (issue 42) featuring Darth Maul on the cover. Articles include an interview with Rick McCallum that include a couple of pages of E1 pictures (about half are new), an interview with the guy who plays Darth Maul, and exerts from the press conference that George Lucas gave in Australia. I haven't read it all, but I can say that Darth Maul is going to be a real kick-ass bad guy.
