I did pick up two IE boosters and a GaW from my store's most recent shipment a couple weeks ago as I had a good feeling about them. It turned out to be one of the rare times my booster instinct has actually worked as I got Mar Tuuk, Xizor, Luke RC, and a Mouse Droid out of them.

I have, I grabbed 5 boosters a couple days ago. Finally one of our Target's had some RotS. They had three but I only had enough for two on me. When I went back with more money the last one was gone. I got Mace Windu and Mon Mothma both are now on my trades if anyone is interested in them. Also grabbed one IE, with R2-D2 Extended Sensor and 2 GaW, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka. All three of these went on my trades as well. Funny thing is I hadn't realized I had finally finished my first set, GaW. When I was updating my collection on Bloomilk I saw I already had 40/40. So now I've managed to finish one set, GaW. And I finished a Faction, Yuuzhan Vong. All I need is Durge from The Clone Wars and I'll finish that one as well. Woo Hoo! Thank you Target! *Special note of interest* SW mini's are the only thing I ever buy from them.

I decided to go home to parent's house this weekend and took an alternate route than I normally do because of extremely high winds on the bridge I have to normally cross, and this new route took me by a new Target I've never been to. They didn't have much (3 GaW, 2 IE, 1 RotS) and I had complete IE and GaW sets, so I decided to pick up the RotS booster. Glad I did, pulled an AT-RT. =D

Stopped by another Target once I got home, and they had two A&E boosters! Picked them up and got a Rampaging Wampa, and Han Solo Rogue. Very happy with today's pulls, to say the least.

I've been bouncing between 3 Targets. Today I went to one of them and they had about 10 boxes of A&E. I was going to buy a couple. They were all gone. I don't know if they pulled from the shelf, or if they just sent them back someplace. Sucks. I hate the idea of minis boxes going back to Wizards and just being tossed.

My wife and I hit a couple of Targets this weekend while the kids were away. She suggested I get some JA packs as I needed more of those than any other. I suggested that if we were gonna take a chance, we should try for the Cad Bane in GaW (only IE was also available and I only need 2 more pieces there). She grabbed all 3 packs and put them in the cart. 2 fell out, so she took that as a sign that the other was the "good one". We "marked" it by mangling the price sticker. In the car, the "marked" pack had a duplicate Commander Asohka (though it was in the 3rd pack). As we pulled away, she asked what ones I needed. I named Yularen, Vebb, Argyos, and Turk. With a disappointed sigh, she asked what the highest priced one was. I reminded her that it was Cad Bane, a blue faced cowboy hat wearing bounty hunter. She casually says, "that's the one we got, isn't it very good." I said something like, "whatever, we did NOT get that one. It's probably the best piece in the set (certainly the best I still needed)." She said, "okay then, I get to sell it since you don't trust your own wife." I was shocked to see said faced cowboy hat wearing bounty hunter staring at me. I couldn't believe our luck. Not a bad pull for someone that didn't have funds to buy the single piece. By the way, the other pack had a Nadhar Vebb in it (which I also needed). Turned out to be an okay night.

Our local Target hasn't had a very good selection and they typically have a very limited number of boosters on the shelf. Of the few boosters we have picked up from there our luck seems to be awful.
The area Shopko's (a WI based dept store chain) have been much better as far as the luck department is concerned. Picked up some AE boosters from one and got a Storm Commando. Pulled a Cad Bane from a GaW booster from that same store. They also have had the Force Unleashed boosters. Aside from the aforementioned sets it's mostly IE, GaW and LotF around here with a little JA.

I went to get groceries at Target and decided to grab a couple boosters. I made it all the way home without opening them (which is a feat on its own), and my fiancee picked one to open while I opened the other one. As I was opening mine, she opened hers and said "Aw, it's Cad Bane." in a disappointed tone. I look at her strangely, and then exclaim my disbelief, but sure enough, it was Cad Bane! Of course, the story is tainted slightly by the fact that this was my *second* Cad Bane, lol. I ended up trading him for four VRs I needed, and I was happy.

There are three of us who regularly make Target runs for minis. A few days ago, I saw that they had some Legacy packs. I grabbed two (pulled Moff Veed and Jariah Syn) and let the others know about the Legacies. One of the guys picked up two ... and promptly pulled two General Dodonnas. That's right up there with the two Bail Organas I pulled from some RotS boosters a few months ago.

I have mauled every store within about fifteen miles of where I live. Pulled a bunch of decent stuff from some stores. Others had clearly glued previously opened boxes shut again and put em back on the shelf. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself to explain why I purchased three boxes of Unleashed and five of Legacy from one store and pulled three Wedge's and five Marasiah Fel. Rage......LoL
can't really complain at %50 off though.

So far, GaW, JA and IE seem to be the most common sets I've seen. I've seen a fair number of Unleashed, but not like I did early on. Legacy has been sporadic, but we get them every now and again. RotS has been the least frequent of the sets. The group I game with is somewhat less likely to pick up GaW, JA or IE boosters, as we've all got such a small number of rares or very rares that we lack from them. That said, the last JA I picked up on the spur of the moment had Naga Sadow, so the temptation to keep picking them up is ... strong.

we havnt gotten much good out of our ROTS we have a gotten about 8 now. 2 had medical droids, 1 had yoda and some other small time rares were in the rest. I think they are starting to get to the bottom of their stock now though because they are running out in the 5 targets we have checked(we live near Indianapolis and they have one at least on each side of the city) They long ago ran out of stater sets much to my chagrin(i wanted them for cutups, and to give a new player or 2 that wanted some maps.)and most of what they have left is Imperial Entanglements, and some jedi academy, which i only need one figure from each set. So we have taken to only buying one or 2 every once in a while.

Desperate to get out of the house, I went for a drive today, stopping at the odd Target as I went along, and all I saw were those three sets. There's a target near my job interview tommrow, so I might stop at one or two more - but for the most part it sounds like the supply is drying up.
