Destroyer Droid / Yoda with Chair Wave

TRU east in Madison had a case or two of this wave on the pegs this morning.

12" Bounty Hunter Wave

Both Wal-Mart west in Madison and TRU east in Madison had at least a case each on the shelves this morning.

K-Mart Sale

K-Mart is having a two-day sale (yesterday and today) where Star Wars toys are 25% off. The store in Madison had one interactive R2-D2 on the shelf. I would guess that he is quite inexpensive today.

More Destroyer Droid / Yoda with Chair Wave

I stopped by Kay Bee Toys east in Madison on the way home from work tonight not expecting to find anything. But, I was surprised to see that they still had several of the new Yoda and Destroyer Droid figures even though it was a full day after Joel Y.'s report. Zampardi reports that he found these at TRU west in Madison on Saturday so make sure to look there also. The Destroyer Droid (#48) is more static than the last two versions having no "back" articulation. He comes with firing blast effects and blasting action. The blasting action looks like it may be fun; otherwise these two features make the figure look clunky. Yoda (#53) is a repaint of the EP1 version and is likely the last figure to be released this year. He differs from the EP1 version by having a darker face and inner tunic and is packed with a Lightsaber instead of a cane.

Joel Y. reports finding these two figures at Kay Bee Toys east in Madison today. This is the first report I have heard of them showing up in the state.

Trash Compactor 2-Packs

Ian reports that Wal-Mart west in Madison had two of these sets this morning. There are two different sets exclusive to Wal-Mart including Han & Luke and Leia & Chewy.

Holiday Edition R2-D2 & C-3PO

Ian also reports Wal-Mart west in Madison had three more of these sets this morning. I saw one at the east side store this morning as well. Maybe they are getting in more of these, just working what they have, or they are just returns.
