Saturday, Dec. 23rd:
12" Vader / Maul 2-Pack
Both TRU east & west in Madison had three of these this morning. TRU's price for this set is $39.99.
POTJ at Shopko
Beth reports finding Collection 2 POTJ figures at a Shopko. She was able to pick up a Gungan Warrior for $6.99 (not $5.99 like the EP1 figures are priced). Hopefully having Shopko selling these will make it a little easier to find them.
Sebulba Wave
TRU east in Madison got in a couple cases of the Sebulba wave today. It is pretty odd seeing several Fode & Beed figures on the pegs at once.
Vader Dagobah Wave
Target east in Madison got in a case of the Vader Dagobah wave. Of particular interest, this was the case containing Leia General on .0100 card. Wal-Mart east has had quite a few Vader Dagobah, Ben, Qui-Gon Poncho figures. I think someone returned them since there weren't many of the older figures.
Tuesday, Dec. 19th:
12" Luke 100th Edition
I got in the mail today the 100th Edition Luke from PlanetActionFigure.com. I got it from them to combine the shipping with the 12" Vader/Maul 2-pack. This is a nice figure, but there isn't too much new about it. In other words, if you have been buying all of the Lukes up until now, you are not going to miss too much by passing on this one. From what I can tell, the only new things about this one are a nicer head sculpt, grappling hook with rope, long rifle, and floppy hat (that is plastic).
12" Darth Vader / Darth Maul 2-Pack
I also got this 2-pack in the mail today from PlanetActionFigure.com. At least there are two figures for this price, but they could have been better. The Vader is very much like the electronic version. The Maul splits at the waist and comes with a two piece lightsaber. It is hard to even count these as new figures.
