Anakin's Jedi Training Lightsaber

Wal-Mart east in Madison had about 8 of these on the shelf today. This is Hasbro's latest role play toy. More expensive than the electronic Lightsabers (Wal-Mart's price is $29.86), it has more features and electronics.

12" Electronic Figures

Wal-Mart east in Madison got in a case of these today. Ray H. reports that Wal-Mart west in Madison also had these this morning. The case is packed two each Obi-Wan and Jango Fett figures. The electronics are OK, but I don't think it adds $10 worth of value to each. The packaging is terrible. There are so many little flaps that stick out it will be impossible to find these in good shape.

Republic Gunship

Wal-Mart east in Madison also got in 4 of these today. Ray H. reports the the west side Wal-Mart in Madison had two of them on the shelf this morning as well.

Grey M. Report

Grey M. was travelling the state today and brings us this report of his sightings.

Well, it looks like Janesville is the place for new stuff today. I saw the new Action Fleet at Target, TRU had not only the usual stuff, but also 2 Gunships, and Walmart had 4 of the electronic 12" Obi and Jango figs (at $29.99), 2 arena playsets and FOUR Gunships. The playsets and Gunships at Walmart are up on the top shelf of the actual action figure isle, not the Star Wars one. At TRU east in Madison, an employee brought out a box of the new unleashed figs (Mace and Dooku). The cards were all pretty bent up, but I open them anyway, so I took the worst 2. They also had 4 of the 12" electronics at $34.99.

Arena Playset

Ray H. reports that Wal-Mart west in Madison had a lone playset on the shelf this morning but, they are in the area.

Deluxe Clone Trooper Wave

Joel Y. reports that Target east in Madison got in a case of these figures today. Included in this wave is Clone Trooper with speeder bike, flying Genosian, and force flipping Anakin. (sarcasm on) I'm sure that the Anakin figure will be the most sought after out of this bunch.
