Hmmm, guess that Scuba Trooper is just really popular, then. Not surprising, since he's an entirely new Clone.

Nice to know that the articulation issue that I had with mine is not common, either. I'll probably get a couple more of him when I can find and afford them.

Mine seems to be all right now, but I am concerned about stress on the torso point.

I grabbed the Imperial Pilot Legacy set at $15 this afternoon. I'm liking these new rubbery helmets, as they go on the heads a little easier and the hoses don't restrict movement at all.

Went to my WM and-nothing, why, the GM didn't want to stock on a weekend since they were busiest part of the week and will wait until monday, Oh well at least I can observe what is going fast and potentaily get the hard to find items.

I probably could have driven to the next town over but didn't feel like wasting the gas honestly. I know they are there (since my friend who works there gave me the scoop) so I can wait a few days. No rush.

I got mine as well as the Rebel Pilots 2 set for $15 each at Wal-Mart. I don't think WM is charging the right price for them. Mine were $15.00 even, and not $14.99 or something like that. Usually they only do that for clearance stuff. I think WM screwed up on the pricing because other places are selling them for $20. But that was $10 I got save, I am not complaining.

My Wal-Mart only had the walker, and nothing else. When asked, the stock drones said there was nothing else, and nowhere to mput it out even if there was, Star Wars merch peg warms really bad in my Wal-Mart.

Well, forget what I said about wondering where my mail-order Captain Rex figure was -- he showed up in today's mail, fully carded just like in the stores.

I find myself wondering if Hasbro deliberately held these back until the official release of the figures for some reason? No big deal, just an idle speculation.

Don't know that I'll be building much of a Clone Wars collection as I immensely prefer the more realistic figures, but I'm glad to have this one.

I got the Armored Kenobi with Lance and Hologram Grievous. The Falcon and the Walker were huge. Thank God I have no room for them, or I'd be looking for a divorce attorney

I grabbed a Battle droid today, not expecting much because from the package it looked like the articulation was lacking compared to some past versions. Man, was I proven wrong. This version (not sure if it's been used before) sports ball and socket shoulder and hips, which really adds a lot more options in how you can pose it. For one, it allows the BD to hold the rocket launcher realistically, which would have been impossible with other versions unless the arms were specifically molded in that position. It's also got a torso joint, which is also a nice little touch, and makes the BD even less static looking. The only problem I have is that the feet are tiny, and the knees don't bend. The ability to make the figure kneel down would have been awesome to put them in classic rocket launching pose. Anyway, I was so impressed with this figure, that I went back and got a second one. Since I got a couple little boxes of "clone gear" from other figures, I was able to swap out the animated battle droid blasters with a movie accurate ones.

A pair of these Kotobukiya t-jointswill fix the no-knee issue real quick. Wait a couple of weeks for them to come back into stock and scarf up a set.

I was at TRU the other day and they didn't have any of the Clone Wars/Legacy stuff out. Only one Millenium Falcon sitting there. $160 there. It's huge, though. Pretty cool looking, but way out of my price range. Even the AT-TE would have to be a gift if I were to get it, most likely. I really want some of the figures, though, including the Sith evolutions set, since I missed out on it before.

My WM didn't put anything out on Sat, the neiboring town was the same way. Clone wars stuff was out monday, Legacy finally today, the neiboring town put out Legacy and CW yesterday. What a mess.

Anyway I got quite a bit.

Clone Wars

Obi-Wan
R2-D2
Grevious (very disapointed in this fig since it looked like it should be articulated).

Legacy

Luke
Chewie
Padme
Sessie Tin
Obi-Wan
I-G Lancer Droid
Scuba Clone

Only one I haven't gotten that I wanted was Clone Wars Anakin (i can wait). Passed on the WM exlusive comic packs, but they had to put out droid factory 2 packs at the same time darnit. Will get those later.

After hearing Mundo's review of the Battle Droid I might pick one up.

Also got the repacked Sith Legacy since I missed it the first time, really like that set.

But really happy with the ones I got besides gevious. Not a bad haul.
