Yea, at this LGS they just reduced the price on a lot of their minis and most where $5 each and the the Boba, Jabba, AT-RT, Stormando, Skiff were $10 each. So actually it was $120.00 for the lot + tax. Definatly going back after church tomorrow. Wait, did you buy a box with boba bh for 10$ or did some one take 10$ for the boba figure alone??? That's a good question! I assumed he bought boxes....but now when I reread it it sounds like he bought singles. Crazy finding a Boba for 10 bucks!! Yes, these were singles and yes it was crazy finding Boba Bh for $10. This is an LGS I don't go to often because in the past the minis have been high and they catter towards MTG and other card games more. The original price was $50 dropped to $40 dropped to $20 and now $10. Although I wasn't in the store when they had him for $20, I might have bought him then if I knew. They had many minis throughout the years but I always thought they had them over priced. But, now just to move them they had a $10 bin, a $5 bin, $3 bin and a .99 bin. I did go back and buy some others today and will go back weekly until I pick out most of the ones I need for my kids' set. I put some extra's in the trade thread I have. Today I went and got Another RS Jabba $10 Storm Sled $10 Sandtrooper on Dewback $10 U- Thrawn $10 Jar Jar $10 (it's for the kids) RS Boba $10 1 other I can't remember Luke's snowspeeder $5 Another Ackbar $5 U B. Monks x's 2 $5 ea U Lobots x's 2 $5 each (I took a hit on those after seeing what mnimarket was selling them for) IE Katarn $5 RS Jedi knight Luke $5 5 others I can't remember

Went to three targets this week and not a single booster anywhere. I'm going to hit a few more in the next week or so before I give up. Is anyone else seeing boosters out there, or are they pretty much out everywhere?

I saw 2 IEs today but left them. Over the weekend I left 2 IEs and 1 JA at a store but I picked up the Clone Wars booster. Got a Chameleon Droid (first one for me).

Stopped into a local LGS with my son tonight. We were stopping in just for a couple single miniatures (he wanted a Nexu and there was a nice price on a Nom Anor I found) but then we decided to pick up the Force Unleashed booster packs they had.........just in case. The boosters they had were very far from the Target discounted variety and normally I wouldn't even consider purchasing one but the one box felt pretty heavy. We decided to go ahead and get it because we were pretty much convinced there was a FelCor inside. Got in the car. I'm driving, he's in the backseat opening the box and narrating. He finally gets the top of the box open and he says excitedly "IT'S HUGE!". I replied "It's a Rancor????"..................No. Turned out to be a Telosian Tank Droid. Big dissapointment. OK I think to myself, all is not lost. We could pull Revan. Or a Boba Fett. He starts naming off what is inside. Camassi Noble....Stormtrooper.....K3PO......@#%^ I know I had been told that if you pick up a box w/ a Rancor there is no mistaking it. I should have known better. Instead I spent more money than I ever have on a booster pack and got perhaps the worst booster pack to date. On a side note I hear Rebel Swap Squads are making a big come back!

I had a lot of pulls like that between UH, BH and TFU. (at high retail prices) The good ones were great, but the percentage of bad ones was uncomfortably high. Worst part is if I walked into the LGS tomorrow and saw more of those boosters, I probably wouldn't be able to resist.

Target had 2 remaining Force Unleashed boosters a few weeks ago for about $4, pulled a Master Kota and a BOBA FETT MERCENARY. I was so excited. The huge pieces were a Knobby White Spider (oh so happy there  ) and a Rebel Troop Cart which is something I always kinda wanted.

Sometime last week I made my monthly Target purchase. I hit three stores and bought 13 IE boosters. They didn't have anything other than IE at all three stores.  It wasn't until today that I got a chance to open them. All in all I didn't do too shabby.  VR/R breakdown. All these VR and R will be added to my trades as I completed this set a while back. General Crix Madine x2 General Rieekan Leia, Bounty Hunter x2 Arica x2 Moff Jerjerrod x2 Thrawn (Mitth'raw'nuruodo) x2 Logray, Ewok Shaman Xizor Not too bad for 13 boosters.  Best of all I also pulled, *Insert drum roll here.*  3 Mouse Droid's  All in all it was well worth it.

Another 2 Targets today and only found a smattering of IE which I passed on. Would like to find TFU, Legacy or Champions but it looks like they are all gone.

Keep an eye out, guys. Remember, things were drying up until June/early July when people started finding new stuff on the shelves.

I might make one more set of runs, but since I'm going to be laid off of work soon, I will definitely have to limit my spending.
I remember seeing Dark Times boosters at Target. Were all of those snatched up?
