Well if it's any consolation, in general, boosters from Target have treated me pretty good lately. Got Darth Revan, two Felcors, Maris Brood, two Uggernaughts, two Golan Turrets, Kazdan, 2 Rebel Vanguards, Luke Rebel Commando, a Mouse Droid, two Shock Troopers, and a Whiphid Tracker. Really the only duds were Juno (in my opinion), K-3PO, Wedge Red Two, Kyp, Leia BH (though at least she's a VR), CLObot, R2 w/ ES, Logray, and literally 5 Bacta Tanks, lol.

The booster packs too. I bought the SSB one years ago. When it first came out. I had been thinking of buying one or 2 more so I could have several of the Super Star Destroyer's. According to the Novel's the Empire had 5 of them. Now that they are $20 instead of $45 I'll grab some up!

Anywho, I bought 2 IE booster's today and got R2-D2 with extended sensor. Which I needed. The second had General Rieekan which is a duplicate. Got him a week or so ago. He'll go on my trades in case someone is looking for him. On a side note my collection just passed the 1600 mark.  Congrats on 1600; I thought I was going good with 300 lol! I'm interested in Rieekan as part of our trade. Let me know what else you want :) Thanks Darth O.  I just sent you a Bloo mail. I'll take a look through your trades bud. And we can finalize our trade.

After reading this topic my son and I decided to check our local Targets out.... We were able to find 2 boxes that had Felcors in them, one of them also had Vaders Apprentice Unleashed in it. First time I had seen 2 ultra rares in the same box. We also were interviewed for a local tv station while at one of the Targets.
Thanks to all who gave the advice about how to spot Felcor packages.

Just stopped at a the local Target and they had (5) IEs, (5) TFUs, and (1) GAW. As I didn't need any GAW and didn't want to pay the $11 for TFU, I bought the (5) IEs. Here's what I got: Booster #1: Logray and a Mouse Droid Booster #2: Vader Legacy and a TBSV Booster #3: Vader Legacy #2 and another TBSV (and no it's not a typo!) Booster #4: CLobot and junk Booster #5: Dash and junk Overall not too shabby. 3 VRs from 5 boosters. All for trade! (i'm keeping the Mouse Droid though...  )

All I am going to say is:
TFU:
Kota and Wookiee Hunter AT/STs.
Also, anyone want any TFU Huges (outside of the R/VRs) free with s/h. Just let me know.

I have twice tried to cherry pick Palpatine on throne and got a Bacta Tank both times. What is the secret?

Last weekend was our 15th wedding anniversary. While at a Target one afternoon (yes, she knew why we were there) we found 22 KOTOR packs. This is what I had been looking for as I had never gotten to many of them.
Here are the VRs/Rs as I can remember:
VRs
Atton Rand x2
Jar Jar Binks x2
Kreia (already had one)
Leia Senator
Master Lucien Dray
Mandalore (VERY pleased to pull that one)
Rs
Zaalbar x3 (alreay had one)
Palpatine x2 (already had one)
Panaka x2 (already had one)
Han Solo x2
Luke (already had one)
Vader
Mission
Visas
T3-M4
I was a little disappointed to pull the duplicate VRs, but I REALLY wanted a Mandalore. All I had to commit to was helping her list some of her books on e-Bay and being willing to sell duplicates rather than just trade them all.
Hopefully we get rich on what we sell. Maybe she'll want to go buy more. She loves opening the packs and searching for the good pieces.

However, the shape of the Bacta is very uniform above the base, and it will never be in there sideways, so if you feel any solid protrusions (besides the base) there is a decent chance it's Palps. I've had a couple times where I was sure. I also have 6 or 7 of the tanks if that says anything...

I was pretty sure it was Palpatine. In fact we had found another pack that was heavier than the others, yet not as heavy as this one. All I can surmise at this point is that I passed on an Ewok Diety (which I already have anyway). I will keep looking for the protrusions though. Thanks for the tip Swinefeld.

Wow, I didn't think a Bacta could fit sideways without deforming the box. Bummer! Best of luck on the hunt.

I struck out. 3 IEs and my best return was a Mouse Droid. 2x Kyp when I already had one. CLObot when I already had one. A few troopers which are always useful.
Fortunately, I was able to add Kyp and Lobot to a trade for several maps including JC MP#1. I now have all the restricted maps except Cloud City. After this trade, I'll be up to 27 maps. And only around 300 figures.

Yeah they're good minis, but no good having several aye! Does 27 maps mean 27 double-sided maps or 27 sides?

Well Squelchy hit Target yesterday, and picked up 2 GaW and 2 TFU. All the Rare's are duplicates.  But they will make good trade fodder. Yay! I have the following added to my trades if anyone is looking for them. Commander Cody, Obi-Wan Kenobi Jedi General (FLOBI), Wedge Antilles Red Two, and Darth Vader Unleashed. It wasn't a complete bust for me as I did get several C's and UC's that I didn't have yet.

Visited my local Target yesterday for two more boosters. All of the GAW were gone. I bought two KOtoR and pulled an extra Visas and my first Mandalore plus some nice filler (2 mandos, wookiees and sith and 1 jawa). I was surprised that GAW sold out in one week so I may buy several more boosters this week.
