Yeah, the packs are starting to dry up in our area too. I still need to run by the other Best Buy here in town and see what they might have. I think I got burned out on TFU, trying to get a Darth Revan.

don't think of it as a knobby spider, think of it as a potential yammosk

Yeah that's what I was telling myself, but it's still a crap fig, lol. And I don't play Vong so it probably won't be of much use to me. *sigh*

Just got back into SWM because of the Target sales. Haven't pulled any Felcors or Boba Fett. Did pull 3 Revans, 5 Shaak Ti, 5 Darth Vader, 7 Kotas, 3 2-1B, 3 Garms,and 1 of everyone else except Pilot Luke, K3PO, Wedge, PROXY, and Hansicle.
I also managed to pull 3 Cad Banes, 6 Grievous Scourges, 2 Whorms, 2 Muurks, and at least 1 of everyone except Admiral Yurlen and Cody.
Pulled 2 Palpatines, 2 Luke Rebels, 2 Lobots, and 2 Xixors. As well as 4 or 5 mice.
Pulled Jedi Exile, Vodo, Kol, Yoda, Kyle, Master Kurkruk, Master Skywalker, and 3 Quin Gons.
So a few monthes ago we had KOTOR and LotF but now all we have are GaW, JA, TFU, and IE. How much longer will this sale go on? Like I said I had some SWM but traded most of my good stuff a year ago. Now I'm getting back into it. Are Felcors that much heavier? Someone must have already cherry-picked my area.

I went to 4 Targets in my area today (2 I hadn't been to in a couple of weeks, and 2 I hadn't been to in a couple of months). Absolutely nothing new at any of them, so I'm starting to wonder if the supply is finally drying up (at least for restocking... all had nearly a dozen boosters of various sorts on hand.. mostly JA, GAW, & IE, plus a few non Felcor TFU). But, one of the ones I went to a couple of months ago still had 2 SSB boosters today. I distinctly remember them because the boxes were moderately damaged when I want there originally (likely why they never sold). I doubted this would effect the figures inside, and since I still need a few figures to complete my set and regretted not buying at least one more when I had the chance a few months ago (not to mention that I don't mind having more of many of the C & UC I already have), I decided to buy them both. I opened one today and pulled: (1) Banking Clan Frigate -- a huge Rare and a I still needed  (2) Wilde Karrde -- another Rare  , but I already have it so it will go up for trade (3) V-wing Starfighter -- a common I still needed (4) SoroSuub Patrol Fighter -- my 2nd, not ideal but an extra never hurt (5) CloakShape Fighter -- my 2nd, ditto (6) TIE Bomber -- my 7th, but you can never have too many OTC ships (7) A-Wing Starfighter Ace -- my 3rd, ditto My birthday is in a couple of weeks, so I'm going to wait until then to open the other booster (baring an unexpected good find, this could very well be the last booster I open, so I figure I'd save it for a special occasion). They also had 1 CW starter hidden in the back of the bottom shelf (I really had to look to find it), so I bought it, too, so I can give it to one of my friends kids for Xmas. Has anyone else out there noticed if they are still restocking (or is it just the same stuff on the shelf at this point like it is around here in the Phoenix area)? I was really hoping to collect a few KOTOR (and maybe the 2007 starter), but am not holding my breath at this point (fortunately, I was able to save a few IE, DT, LOTF, and CW boosters, plus a couple of CW starters).

here's something you don't hear often: I was disappointed to get the IE thrawn. I mean, having just a few stormies and one sand commander won't make a good imp army. but now I have lord vader, roan, and other evilly good imps.......

He is way heavier than any other guy in the pack. If an IE is kinda heavier, don't get it. My pack was almost twice as heavy as the other IEs there.

Anakin Skywalker, Sith Apprentice VR (going to trade thread)
AT-RT - VR
Leia Organa Solo, Jedi Knight - VR (going to trade thread)
Darth Talon - VR (going to trade thread)
Not bad For $35.00.

We in central PA are still working on it. Smaller group of players helps and our group is the only people buying that we know of.

I can confirm that up and down the I-5 corridor Target and Best Buy has NOTHING but Force Unleashed, Jedi Academy, Galaxy at War and Imp Entanglements, with the occasional Clone Wars or Knights of the Republic and the odd Starship Battles. At the beginning of September, I took a road trip with my mom from Seattle to LA down 5 and up Highway 101. While I didn't stop at every target and best buy on the way, I did hit them every so often. I found not a bloody thing the whole way. Actually, that's not quite true. Today I stopped at Best Buy for season 1 of the Bionic Woman and much to my surprise, I found a bunch of Alliance vs Empire. I had none of that range, so needless to say, I cleaned them out.
