Yeah if you ever pick up a Felcor booster, you'll know, trust me. It's a *ton* heavier than anything else in the set. I've cherry-picked two so far.

For comparison's sake, a Rancor/Felcor is about as heavy as a full 12 oz. can of pop. None of the other huges even come close to it's weight.
In any case, I need to stop buying GaW boosters. We got a singular booster in today, and it was just too tempting. I wound up getting Flobi #4. Bleh.
Fortunately, my luck balanced itself out as I discovered a slice of Key Lime pie on closeout when I went grocery shopping after work. Of course, it was then rebalanced when on the way home, a sudden stop sent the pie container flying out of it's grocery bag and towards my dash like a missile. The impact, while it did no damage to the container or spilled the contents, it succeeded in turning the pie slice into a pie salad.

I bought 2 IE boosters, my friend bought 3. I got Threepio and Palpatine and he got Lobot, Arica, and Thrawn. But we got no mice in 5 boosters.

TFU #1: Felcor and Luke HPU (kinda hard to miss a Felcor)
TFU #2: Juno, Rebel Vanguard.
Not terrible, hoping for another VR.
Anyone interested in a Felcor let me know

Just out of curiosity, what have folks seen at their local targets? Here's what was listed in the original post: creme_brule wrote:
Starship boosters: 30% off
CW SS: 50% off
'07 SS: 50% off
IE: 50% off
JA: 40% off
GAW: 40% off
The original post also mentioned Starship Battles starters (which were $19.99 at my Target). I've seen all of these EXCEPT the 07 starter. I also saw TWO Universe boosters (so, at least one thing new that was not in the original post). I'm curious if folks have seen any other SWM items on liquidation sale @ Target? Also, have folks noticed if they are replenishing their stock (or if what they have out is all they have)? I went back to two of the Targets in my area 7-8 days after my initial purchase and notice they have NOT restocked (at least so far). Edit: I bought one Starship Battles booster just for the heck of it. I'm going to wait a bit to open it, though (maybe to brighten a bad day or when I feel too much withdrawal form NOT being able to open any more SWM boosters at some point).

Not to laugh too much at your misfortune, because you could still eat it. :) Great visual. Checked the local Target again today and no restock since Saturday. Only have CW starter, JA (40% off), and DT (50% off) boosters. There may have been GAW, I don't remember now but it seems like they had them before. I bought out their TFU last week and they haven't restocked those or put out any SSB that I can tell.

They are replenishing, but one thing to realize is that the liquidated SWM is not part of Target's, or any other store's, standard freight. They are handled by an outside vendor whose rep comes about once a week to check the current stock and place a replenishment order which comes via UPS/Fed Ex.

What I want to know is who puts it on the shelf when the shipment arrives? Vendor, Target associate, magical SWM pixie? Seems the associates, at least in my area, don't know much about the process and the vendor doesn't have the greatest reputation.

Both the employees and rep will work out the stock. They employees will replenish as much as they can when the shipment arrives, then place the remainder in the backroom and the rep will replenish, make homes for new product, and return old product during their visits.

went to my target to day and they had the usual IE, GAW, academy, so i passed on those and walked around the story a bit. on my way out an employee had a cart full of 8 force unleashed packs and was try to figure out where to put them on the crowded shelf so i helped her out by buying all 8. i got home and share with my brother i took 5 he got 3.
we ended up with Darth Revan, Maris brood, chewy of hoth, proxy, Kota, obi unleashed, Vader unleashed, an uggernaut, wookie at-st, and 3 Luke Snowspeeders!
i all ready had a snow speeder so he took one and i have 2 for trade. Super happy about revan and maris. now all i need from the set is shaak ti anyone have a spare?

I wasn't as successful as others. Three boosters and I pulled three generals: General Dodonna, Rieekan, and Crix Madine. I can live with them, but nothing too exciting and each of the IE boosters had the same commons and uncommons.
