Opened the JA to find Quiggy staring at me in the cards pack. :/ I did get an Ossus Warrior and all decent Commons (no stormies, kraths, BDs, etc.). Today went to a different Target and returned the IE and picked up a lone TFU box and a fairly heavy IE. Here's hoping for some good pulls. Not bad, not good. In the TFU pulled a Han Carbonite and an Uggernaught (never seen one before! Its so...small!). IE pulled Luke Commando (the heavy spot was a Bacta Tank). Not too shabby.

Had no idea this super sale was going on, stumbled into some IE the other night so I grabbed 5 boosters and did great. 2 mice, Palp on Throne, Rieekan, and Luke Rebel (3 VRS and 2 mice in 5 packs was about the best I could ask for!)
Now I'm gonna head out and check a couple other local targets, hope I find some good stuff!

A boatload of IE, a couple of JA and a TFU here in Seattle. Snapped 'em all up, but didn't walk away with any astounding - a couple of VRs, a Mouse Droid and some other this and that. Ah well, hopefully I can spin 'em into something good on the trade list!

I picked up 4 IE, 1 JA, and 1 TFU. Let's just say the best part of this shopping trip to Target was the on-sale Nutella =o/

I haven't bought a pack since DT. Yesterday I saw boosters for 3.99 and thought "That's what I'm talking about!". I picked up one JA and snagged a Dark Lady. now I'm thinking I may have the "fever" again. Dangit. There are 3 IE packs I left behind. I guess I'm going back. (and isn't there another Target just down the road? hmmmm.)
EDIT: 7-1-11, two more JA's. Pulled Anakin Solo and Kyle Katarn, CI. Haven't found any TFU, just JA and IE. I'm going to try Dollar Tree and maybe two more Targets tomorrow.

3 boosters of IE today. C3PO Ewok Diety. Feel my pain. Luke Rebel Commando, and R2 with extended sensor. The only thing of value was another mouse droid. Still chasing Palp on the Throne.

2 VRs out of 3, one of which is a game changer in the minis game plus a Mouse Droid. I'd say you did well. Plus it's three main movie characters. If you complain about those pulls, you have some pretty high expectations. Luke is up there with Vader, Dash, and Rieekan as the 2nd best pull in IE (after Palps). You could have pulled Lobot, Logray, and Jerjerrod.

With as many R2's with sensors being pulled. He can be one of the next V-Set customs. I did this when the set was originally out. Just cut the flaps off leaving just the stem sticking out of R2's head. It looks like a lightsaber getting ready to be shot. So, it could be a special ability that if someone with a force rating with in 6-12 sqaures of R2 gets another attack or gains twin attack or something. I never made a card for him with stats but that was my goal anyway.

Does anyone know what's with all the targets seeming to have ONE TFU booster? I'm wondering if they've got more in the back but only put one out at a time...has anyone tried asking if there are any more boosters hiding in the back? Also just a heads up for some who may not know this, all of the targets in my area have 2 spots in the store that SWM can be found. The nerdy section up near the registers, and then a spot back in the toys, usually at the end of an aisle back near the board games.

As I mentioned earlier, all the boosters are now under the same sku, so stores are not getting 1 TFU booster, they are getting several SWM boosters and one just happens to be a TFU. Also, there would be no boosters in the back. The trading card sections are managed by an outside vendor (Excell) who works all the product received by the store onto the sales floor, then boxes up any returns called out for to be shipped back to the company.

another weird thing I have noticed, some boosters either are not labeled with the 3.99 price, or are ringing up wrong. I saw a couple places even with 2 of the same boosters, but one was labeled 3.99 and the other 8.99 (think it was GAW). I saw a couple LOTF and even a ROTS, but those still had the old price tag and I couldn't convince the cashier that they were also supposed to be 3.99

really? didnt they all have the sticker with "3.99" on it? i had that happen to me and the cashier asked, "are you SURE?" i just replied "uhh, it's on the sticker...." of which, either they corrected the problem or had me go to the customer service and refund the difference back

The cashier said even though they are the same item. The price issue is controlled by the vender and they can't change the price. It's to do with the barcode.
