More Skiff Guards

Although outside the Madison area by a ways, Beth informs me that she found the Jabba's Skiff Guards 3-pack at a Shopko in Escanaba, MI (Upper Peninsula). It looks like Shopko is the place to find these. Also, I only saw them at Shopko south in Madison. I did go to all of the other stores and there wasn't a hint that they had gotten them.

Skiff Guards Movie Scene

Shopko south in Madison got these in this morning. I believe that they come 6 to a case along with a Jedi Spirits and Cantina Aliens. I have heard gripes about the plastic being used, but they look fine in that regard. I do think that Barada is too "painted" looking.

Masterpiece Anakin

Walden Books have these 50% off making them something like $37.50. There were plenty at the east side store.

Hallmark Ornaments

I took a look at the new ornaments this year. They always seem so expensive to me. This year the choices are: Han, Chewy, Max Rebo Band, Darth Vader Tie (electronic), Naboo Fighter, and Queen Amidala in red dress.

Yoda Wave

Target west in Madison had some Yoda wave figures. It was kind of weird in that all of the Rune and Nute figures were gone, but Destroyer Droid and Yoda figures were present.

Tarpals Wave

K-Mart south in Madison had the Tarpals wave in this afternoon. It looks like some were early variations while some were older variations.

Collection 1, Wave 2

TRU east in Madison had another case of these this afternoon. There were at least two of each as of 4:30.

Transforming Anakin Bank

I picked up one of these today at Taco Bell giving me the last of the Tri-Con toys. If you would like a list of what they all are, e-mail me.

Shmi Can Update

I found these here in Madison today, in a 12 pack even.
