hothie wrote:Not sure if anyone has seen this, or if it applies anywhere else, but my wife and I just saw CW boosters at Target in their Christmas stuff for $4.99 each. RotS are $6.99, so we bought 4 of each. We're going to have a few friends over and do a booster draft. Everyone gets 1 CW and 1 RotS, normal draft rules. 8 boosters for $50, not too bad. :) So don't forget that when checking the Toy Isle and the Collectable stuff section that last year Target dropped a ton of Clone Wars boosters in the small toys section of the Christmas department. I took a look at my local Target yesterday and came up dry, so they may not be doing that again this year (or I was too early) - but keep your eye out. Perhaps we'll get lucky again!

Three days, three Targets - and not a booster amongst them, not even an Imperial Entanglement. So kids, it sounds like the ride is over!
There's one last target nearby that's in the middle of a remodel - and they're not restocking ANYthing. I might give them a try once they get things settled over there.

My local target has has no boosters twice in the past six months, but new stuff appeared at a later date. I stop here every week or two and for the past two months, they've had nothing but Imperial Entanglements. Last week? One IE, but also one Galaxy at War. Regionally, the game is going to dry up for periods, but I don't know that the ride is over just yet.

Went to my local comic convention and this one guy had 6 boxes worth of minis in a cardboard box so I decided to take a look through them.
Heres what I found
Mouse Droid
General Whorm Loathsome
Wat Tambor techno union Foreman
(And for a friend)
GG Scourge
Commander Cody
Any one wanna guess who much for all 5?
Same cost for a foot long at subway.

My last two boosters were IE and they were stocked by the toy section. I left the store with 4 more IE up front with the TCG and baseball cards. Went back the other night and all 4 IE that were up front were gone. Now either ArtemisCfrog bought em  or they were restocked somewhere. So I'm thinking that Target might push them out into a bargain bin for Holiday season. I have three Target's by me and a few by my parents place, so I'll be checking all of them soon for a holiday blitz!

If I see any bargain bin minis I will try to let everyone know though. I do still have to Boba Fett, Mercenary Commanders for sale/trade from my last buying spree.

Well, I had to swing by Target - the one that was mid-remodel - to pick up my new 3DS and since they finished up with the remodel, I looked in the back. Not a Booster amongst them, not in the card racks up at the front, not in the back with the toys and not in the Christmas stuff.
Ah well, looks like the great Northwest has indeed dried up.

My closest Target has had the same 2 boosters (one IE and one GAW) for the past few weeks, so I finally broke down and bought them.
I figure either they'll be more likely to bring in new stock once all the old stuff moves, or this is it (in which case I might as well enjoy one last hit).

No Cad; just Whorm. I should probably update my trade list/thread... although I might just keep him as an extra. Because of his rather unique build, he might be useful in a custom some day.

The local Hastings has had a CW booster for several months. It's been opened and taped shut and is half price. I wasn't about to pick it up.
I ran into one of the members of the campus game club today. He bought the booster this weekend ... and pulled GG:DAC out of it.
As annoyed as I was that I missed out, it was nothing like one of my other gaming buddies. He almost picked that booster up a few days ago ...

The targets around the Des Moines/Ames area have been out for months now, but I did manage to find 2 Legacy boosters back in August. The wife and I have a tradition of opening boosters on Christmas day and doing an out-of-the box game. I saved the Legacy boosters til yesterday. She pulled Cade and I pulled canderous. We played on Smugger's base, and my Canderous squad won thanks to my lovely Kel-dor bounty hunter exploding all over Cade and Canderous finishing him off with a crit.
My LGS still has plenty of boosters, so we can continue the tradition, just not at Target clearance prices. :)
