Picked up a Walmart Exclusive Dewback for $21 vs the original $29 price tag. The clearance price made me happy Smile

They had a bunch of Dewbacks, but more Vulture droids on clearance if anyone needs!

There is a good interview with Derryl DePriest (Vice President of Global Brand Management at Hasbro) here: http://www.curtoburns.com/

Instead of issuing any sort of denial or ignoring the question all together (as Hasbro has done in the past), he is actually fairly forthright about addressing the distribution problems.

I didn't agree with everything he said in the interview, but I found myself agreeing with the majority of it and at the very least understanding a lot of the rest.

It's worth a listen.

I went to my local Toys R Us this afternoon, location Warwick, RI... I was so THRILLED (trying to use that as the most excitment possible) to find the Ewok Pack!!! Very Happy

Picked one up, still plan to get a couple more eventually - I am just excited, if ya know what I mean. I'm and Ewok guy, all the way Razz

I was under the impression this pack (and the pilot pack) were supposed to be on shelves in October? At least that's what I saw Hasbro saying, I think Confused

hey, I got 'em so whatever! Woot

I just got the TVC Imperial Navy Commander in the mail. I got it via a trade with a collector over at Rebelscum. I have yet to see this figure at retail.

Today I acquired:

K-Mart Exclusive At-St

Found these @ Wal Mart!
TVC Shock Trooper (second one as I wanted two of these)

TVC Sandtrooper (second one as I wanted two of these)

No Ewok luck at either store, kind of annoyed. I may just order everything online and eliminate the pain all together.

(I also purchased the CW Cad Bane & Pirate Bike, the Cad Bane is one of my favorite characters and the sculpt caught my eye and works great as a cross over IMO) Smile
