More AAT Tanks & Maul vs. Obi-Wan 2-Packs
TRU in Madison had out another AAT Tank this morning. I forgot to mention that they are $17.99. They also had a few of the Darth Maul vs. Obi-Wan 2-Packs. This is the one with the break apart Darth Maul. They were all on .0100 cards (.0100 inserts) and priced at $14.99. They only had 4 this morning.

AAT Tank
TRU in Madison had a few AAT Tanks this morning. I was able to get the last one. It looks pretty neat from what I can see of the box. Hopefully I can get another one to open up. The one I got was in a .0100 box. If someone has a .0000 box, I am looking for one. Dave P. informs me that they had some tanks (and Maul vs. Obi-Wan 2-packs) Thursday as well.
Milwaukee Area
There is now a page covering Star Wars collecting in the Milwaukee area. Stop by StarWarsAtEratz and see what is going on. I know that this is a very new page and there are still some bugs to be worked out.

R2-B1 & TC-14
Ray H. reports that Wal-Mart west in Madison got in some of these today. I guess that there is some hope that you will find something at retail.

12" Electronic C-3PO
UPS brought a package today containing the 12" Electronic C-3PO that I ordered from eToys. It was a little expensive, but it sure is cool. Lots of articulation and tons of cool play features. Too bad they are so hard to find. I don't want to spend too much time describing it, but here's a quick run down. He says several phrases, several of which interact with what you are doing with the toy. This includes saying a phrase if you remove his arm, for example. There is also a button on his back that also invokes these. There are several removable parts including arms, legs, and a couple of body sections.
R2-B1 & TC-14
I was real surprised to see these on the shelf at Wal-Mart east in Madison this morning. This is the first time that I have ever seen them at retail. I guess that there is a little hope that figures are still shipping.
