OK, I finally got the chance to get some exhaust work done on my car today.

I bought and returned a AT-TE, so I had some extra money to spend. I stopped in at Wal-Mart and got a bunch of newer Star Wars figures I had put off buying: Droid Factory R4-J1 Cip-Quad Clonetrooper, IG Lancer Droid, Obi-Wan in Clone Armor, and Clone Scuba Trooper; DF R7-Z0 Darth Vader (had the other three figures already); DF R7-T1 Quarren Soldier, Saesee Tiin, Mon Cal Warrior, and Snow Bunny Padme.

Also grabbed three extra Scuba Clones, so I may have extra droid parts available to trade.

I passed on the Han/Luke/Chewie/Ewoks set since I had seen them already.

Stopped at K-Mart and noticed they had new stickers on the GIJOE stuff. The single card JOEs are now $6.99 and the comic packs are now $10.99...

...but when I scanned the comic packs they rang up at $8.00!

I snagged a Snake-Eyes/Storm Shadow (damaged version), a Duke/Red Star, and a Destro/Breaker.

Not sure if this discounted price is valid at all K-Marts, but anyone looking for extras or even the new comic packs might wanna check it out in case.

Saw a 'blue box' generic army APC/missile tank at Target in their pre-Holiday aisle for $10.00. Don't know if the back opens up for use as a troop compartment, but it looks interesting. I'm gonna keep an eye on them.

I saw the blue box also. looked cross between a Chapparal / Avenger / MLRS. not bad, it jumped out as potential Oktober Gaurd to me.

I see I left out something from my earlier post. I was downtown getting work done on my car and went shopping afterward.

No wonder it didn't make sense.

Now that I have built all the droids, does anybody know what the lower 'hip' holes on the barrel section of the Droid Factory bodies are for?

The leg pegs fit into them, but I wonder if it may be for a part that shows up down the line...

If I have it correct the idea is that you can use protocal droid parts on the body and vise versa, so you can make completely different style droids.

That really sucks if KMart is raising prices. That means I will be going back to Walmart to buy my Joes or just buy them on HTS as long as they still have a 10% off discount.
