EP1 Buddies
Thanks to Ray's report yesterday, I went to JC Penney east in Madison and picked up a set. I found six including: Darth Maul, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Padme, Jar Jar, and Watto. They are all pretty nicely done, but they seem a little smaller than last year's. That may just be a perception though. I do think that JC Penney's price of $5.99 is less than what most retailers were selling the Buddies for last year.
Milwaukee TRU Report
Daniel O. reports that the Milwaukee area TRU has in a LOT of Captain Panaka & Naboo Royal Security. Plus, they had a stack of 10 Royal Starships. That would be a big stack.

EP1 Buddies
Ray reports finding these all over Madison today. Westfield Comics had them at $9, Software Etc. in Westown had them at $7, and JC Penney's had them at $6.
TRU Update (Queen's Ship)
Necklace writes in that TRU west got in 4 of the Royal Starships recently, but 3 were needed to cover pre-orders. TRU price is $99.99. Also, the small 12" scale figures at $7.98. Now you have no excuse not pick up those Pit Droids.
