I went to Target the other day and picked up 1 force unleashed and 2 GAW boosters. I got a Felcor from The Force Unleashed. I also thought I needed about 5 from GAW but I only needed 2. Cad Bane and General whorm. At that point I was thinking I was going to get doubles, but I opened the pack and saw a Cad Bane card. I was already quite satisfied with my purchase when from the second booster I recieved a General Whorm! AWESOME! Just wondering, if a Universe pack has a rancor is it a lot heavier than the other packs?

Went by target and picked up a few more boosters of TFU, GAW, JA, and Clone Wars. Here were my highlights.

Overall, I did pretty good. Got some good uncommons as well, pulled 5 rebel vanguards.

Target is still accepting the IE $5 off coupons even though they are expired! I have used them about 20 times in the last month - oh yeah! IE boosters for 2.49 + tax!

The only reason they work is because you are getting cashiers who either don't know about expiration dates or don't care. Either way, you've scammed your store out of 100 bucks. Way to take the ethical high road.

Well, I may greedy or just in the right place at the right time. However, I went to a Target on Friday (after reading about someone picking a Felcor up) and, on a hunch, and they had a fresh stock of TFU. So, I did the Milk Maid thing (See "Clerks" for details and only if you are over the age of 18), and kept looking for the heavy one. Well, lo and behold, I found a heavy one.
So, now I find 1. I decide to press the issue and on Sunday tried 5 Targets in the area. Of the 5 Targets, 2 were not refilled. But of the 3 refilled ones, 2 had Felcors as well.
Oddly, 2 of the Felcor packages had Luke Skywalker with Yoda.
Of the packs 5 bought in those two days, I got: 3 FelCors 1 Darth Revan 2 Luke/Yodas 1 Hanwafer 1 Garm Bel Iblis
I would have to say that's a pretty productive haul.
If anyone is interested in the FelCors, I am selling them. Now, before someone decries my method, I am just being capitalistic and turning my gain into mutual benefit as I am trying to save up money for an anime costume for my next convention.
My price will be somewhat what Market value is with 4.50 s/h. With the recent reintroduction of TFU into the market, I figure there might be some slide towards 20+ bucks vs the usual 35+

My local Target only had 3 Force Unleashed packs out for the past few weeks, and none were heavy enough for Felcors, so I decided to pass. Today, I stopped by and was pleased to see that the count had increased to 6, so I did a quick weight check and found one (my second Felcor in the past month). Even better was that it had Vader's Apprentice Redeemed as the Rare, which I have wanted for a long time.
Only one or two desired Force Unleashed pieces to go... Thank you, Target!

I wish I could see what a TFU pack even LOOKS like, let alone feel one :( I've bought all my boosters online, and I open them as soon as humanly possible when they arrive, so I don't feel them first. I didn't even notice that my Palpy on Throne booster was probably heavier than most of my other boosters! lol

About a month ago I went to a Target that had about 20-30 KotOR boosters at 50% off - bought two and pulled a Malak and a Bao-Dur. Haven't seen a KotOR booster since, at that Target or at numerous other Targets and Giant Eagles in the area.
Mostly I've seen IE, JA, GaW, and TFU, but I did find the occasional CW at Target (65% off but haven't pulled anything good.) Now at Giant Eagles I have seen some LotF popping up and this week one Giant Eagle has about 20-30 RotS boosters at 50% off all of a sudden (didn't buy any though, doesn't seem like anything worthwhile in that set except R2.)
Since that set is old as dirt I am holding out hope for some other older sets, like CotF or BH - has anyone seen either of those? - or the return of the mystical 50% KotOR. I also haven't seen the newest two sets either.
How long will this liquidation sale last? Are there any other stores besides Target and Giant Eagle that has them?

I tried the ones in Chester (South Park, Chester( first and they were gone before I got there. They both got a shipment in but there was far fewer than 2 cases there. Most of the ones that had them were in the north. Staples Mill had 2. If you want one, let me know. i didn't even know of the second run until recently. But, I can honestly say, I am pretty much tapped out in the buying of TFU. I am greedy in the buying but not in the selling especially when you are local and there isn't any S/H.

I went to target today and I saw Force Unleashed boosters, so I weighed them in my hand, and one was much heavier, so i bought it. Felcor!
