I found the Royal Starship Droids set this morning, along with the Anakin/Sebulba set. Kind of a tough pill to swallow at $24.96, so I made sure to keep my receipt for any future price adjustments or a refund.

And by looking at other store reports, it appears that these sets are starting to show up now, so make sure to include Walmart in your toy runs this week.

I saw the Royal Starship Droid pack on Walmart.com today and had it in my cart all ready to go, but just couldn't bring myself to finalize the order. I'll probably regret it later, but right now I feel at peace with myself...maybe.

Found and bought the Starship Droids pack yesterday. I believe that catches me up on all the exclusives I want. I *may* grab a Dewback - if they hit the $7 (or less) clearance price. I may also pick up the Discover the Force Aurra Sing and Destroyer Droid. Apparently, Sing comes with a case of lightsaber hilts that will not be included when she is re-released on a vintage card later this year. The Destroyer Droid is a repack of a figure from several lines back, but this time the energy shield is a different color. Neither is what I'd call essential, but at the same time, I wouldn't mind having them.

I finally decided to buy the Royal Starship Droid set and bought them this morning. Cool

Friday I went to Portland - which was every bit the slimy mudhole I'd remembered.

During the course of my day I stopped at seven Walmarts (also every bit the slimy holes I remembered!). I picked up several of their exclusive "Discover The Force" figures. I grabbed Aurra Sing because I'd heard that when she gets re-released on a vintage style card later this year, she won't have all the accessories of this release. I also picked up two Destroyer Droids (just so I could have a complete energy sheild).

I stopped at a half dozen Tuesday Morning stores. Each one was progressively harder to find (the final one was buried in the basement of a building). I saw a few of VC62 Han Solo (In Trench Coat) as well as one each of VC09 Boba Fett [ROTJ], VC52 Rebel Fleet Trooper, and VC54 ARC Trooper Commander [Captain Fordo]. Since I already found those locally a few weeks ago, I left them and moved on.

Fred Meyer (of which I stopped at ten of) didn't have much either, but I did pick up two Stormtroopers (VC41 - revised) and a few of the rocket pack Clone Troopers (MH11).

I only stopped at two of the four Toys R Us stores I usually visit. They didn't have anything I needed, but I did see the AT-AT (which I'd read was reshipping).

Also only stopped at two Targets - which didn't really have anything either (unless you need a Cloud Car Pilot or Endor Rebel Trooper).

I went to Target yesterday, and I found the new Naboo and Bespin Battle Packs. Although I was initially hesitant to get these because of the limited articulation (five POA), I was blown away by the sculpting. Arguably, these are the best facial sculpts for Darth Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi that I have ever seen (I was less impressed with Qui-Gon Jinn). They are simply amazing - they have to be seen in person to be truly appreciated. So, I quickly nabbed the Naboo set for $22.99.

I have to admit that I was completely unmoved by the Bespin set, and I left it on the shelf. The Darth Vader and Boba Fett figures were underwhelming, with Luke Skywalker being the best of the three. But his yellow hair was a little unattractive to my eye, so that set was an easy pass.
