I wasn't wild about this figure to begin with, and every picture I see makes it look worse. Those light things look awful.

damn. Too bad I didn't see this thread Friday. Swamped all week, but had I seen this, I'd have hit some Meijers for sure. Guessing by now that they've been cleaned out. Will still take a peek at one tomorrow though, just to be safe. Hard to believe Ft. Wayne is first to receive these. Though a Meijer here did have some previous Star Wars waves that I never saw anywhere else too, so who knows.

Yeah usually the Meijer's in Gary gets stuff before Ft. Wayne. But then, Gary's always had nicer stuff.

Just got my pre-order info and MSRP on the figs is $9.99, so if I get a few cases, I will need to charge more than that.

I hit two Meijer stores today. One still had ROC Baroness figs pegwarming, and the other was cleaned out - but I did note the tags were for the new movie, and the price was for $6.97. I asked a clerk to check in the back for more, and he said they were out.

EDIT: Oh - since SW was mentioned in the thread too, I didn't see any new waves, but I did see a figure I had not seen from this wave thus far. Is the Darth Maul pictured here the super-articulated version?

Mine still has ROC figures too.

I believe so. http://www.rebelscum.com/TVC86Maul.asp
Those are peg warming all over here. My Meijer still has the wave that Marshalls/TJ Maxx sell for $4.99! :roll:
Apparently Winners (Canadian TJ Maxx/Marshalls) is getting some newer waves. http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/Ca ... 144868.asp

I wonder if Target is charging $10.99 so they can drop the price a dollar and call it a discount. Thanks for the info. I imagine Meijers hasn't updated their computers yet.

A bunch of my Local Targets were charging between $8-$9 for PoC and the 30th figs, so I wouldn't count on it, but maybe a sale

Yeah. The one Walmart near me has eight empty pegs for Joes. For that price, but that was also 30th price. I'm sure it'll change when these figures come out.

Likewise, I hit Wally World last night. They had the pegs set up for Joes with a 6.97 price mark. While I'm sure the price can change on a whim, they planogram set up is new. Walmart hasn't had that many pegs set aside Joes since the last movie.

I got Stormy and Snake eyes in the mail today.

They're pretty fun figures and they hold poses very well. That rocking ankle sure is...well... rocking.
I really like how they look even if SS popped collar is a bit out there and I'm really looking forwards the second Snake Eyes' head sculpt.

Storm Shadow has a neat little backpack to hold his blades and it would have been a nice addition for Snake Eyes as well.

Really looking forward the rest of the line.
