So I nabbed 8 boosters of Rebel Storm on eBay for $40, and the package came today! Now, to put this in perspective, I owned literally 5 pieces of RS prior to this purchase, as I didn't join the game until just after DT released. Here are my 8 boosters of RS figures in all their glory!



Rares:
4-LOM x2
Greedo
Bossk
Tarkin
Sandtrooper on Dewback
Scout Trooper on Speeder Bike
Boba Fett

Very satisfied. ThumpUp

Congratulations! That is very cool.
I always love the Rebel Storm Stormtroopers the most. I only have five of them but whenever I use Stormtroopers they are my first pick.

$4 boosters at Five Below right now. Just pulled Darth Maul, SA and Dark Woman. 2 VRs out of 5 boosters - not bad.

Excellent VR pulls. ThumpUp
The same ones I managed to pull from the handful of RS boosters I was able to get from my LGS.
Greedo too, lol.

Fivebelow.com but I went to their site and they only show pokemon.

It's a chain store. I am guessing they buy the stock of other stores (Target and such) and then resell it.

I don't think they sell anything online, but it's in the stores. Unless it's sold out. I went to one and it was sold out - they said to check back in a couple weeks. It likely is the same stock Target had before at $7.99. I've only seen JA and IE. Others have reported seeing GaW.

Demosthenes, sorry for hijacking your thread. We can continue this conversation in the Target sale thread.

Nice pulls! Dewback, Speeder Bike AND Boba Fett?? That's pretty sweet. Those are not easy to come by, although they are mostly useless. I hope the V-Sets will bring updated versions of the Speeders and Dewback at some point.

I miss the quality of the old pieces. The last many sets we got was so poorly done, it wasn't even funny. Now that i've started customizing, i'm considering repainting many of the WotC minis and giving them some wash while i'm at it.

Good find! ThumbsUp

Rebel Storm was such an awesome set with such a perfect selection of characters. It was a long, long time before I ever got tired of pulling more troopers out of my boosters; storm, snow, scout, rebel, Hoth, they were all so well done. Smile
