Nope; not at Salt Lake yet, not as of yesterday anyway. I went back to Kapolei Target today (8/5) and the deluxe figures were all gone. There is this giant empty void above the $10.99 price tag on the lower shelf now. LOL. I can't believe people already bought all of them up, especially those IMO crappy pink A.V.A.C. pilot repaints; they had like 5 of each one of them too. And also all they had of interest on the regular pegs there today was 1 Pit Commando and 1 Crimson Viper; everything else was the usual pegwarmers.

8/6
Salt Lake Target: Only figures of interest was 1 Elite Viper, 2 or 3 Crimson Vipers, and the rest were all Wave 1 Figures. Forgot to look for Deluxe Figures, sorry. TRU: Has a huge display for ROC stuff in the front with only 1 rack of single carded figures which were all BBQ's(maybe they will change it closer to the sale). Next to the Star Wars stuff there were at least 5 or 6 sets of the Paris Pursuit wave, all black Timbers. Then in the original Joe section there were some Wave 1, PP stuff, and finally Firefly's, I finally got that bastard... Mililani Wal-Mart: Vipers and Destro's... The Exclusives for Star Wars are showing up though got a Darth Maul which to me, is one of the coolest figures ever although he was $20... Picked up Cad Bane, another Badass looking figure, wish I found another one, can never have too much Lee Van Cleef inspired awesomeness, still debating whether or not to open up that bad boy... Just Wondering, I've been hearing that TRU is going to have another 2 for $10 this weekend, not sure if that applies for us but if I had bought the figures today, will I be able to take them back with the receipt and get a price check? |

Yeah i was just there yesterday myself and nothing new. Odd thing is they have the tag for the Deluxe figures w/vehicles up but i've yet to see them put out any of them and i've been going there just about every other day for the last two weeks.

Ran into a guy piling ROC stuff at the Kapolei Target. Unsure if scalper or collector.

8/9
TRU: They had a ton of figures in, the front display is about half filled with ROC single carded figures now, still only up to the PP and RA Scarlett wave, there were about 5 or 6 Scarlett's, 6 Firefly's(Now that I got him I'm seeing him more now...) and 0 PP SE's. No new Star Wars or MU. Salt Lake Target: Not even up to the PP wave anymore, and Snake eyes with mouth is getting hard to find. No R.H.I.N.O. 's either, got there at 11:30 so I might have missed them. No Deluxe Packs when I went. No new Star Wars or MU there either. Might stop looking for them every week now that is seems the Helix wave isn't even around anymore. If you guys come across Helix or the final fight SS please let me know. Those two along with City Strike/Resolute SE and Bench Press are really the only other figures I will be looking for this year. Oh and if you guys come across the new Star Wars Comic-Packs please let me know about those too. I'll be checking Wal-Mart every week so I'll let you guys know if anything changes there. |

I went to TRU this morning (8/11) and they had tons of the PP wave including a bunch of black Timber PP Snake Eyes. Had a few ROC FFs left too, but no newer waves yet. They did have a whole peg full of the TRU exclusive Clone Commander Ponds though. I bought two (one for my nephew) and this guy right behind me bought like ten or twelve of them. LOL. Hmmm... I wonder what he is going to do with them all? LOL. I went to Salt Lake Target right after (8/11) and only ROC wave 1 is left there. I cannot believe the entire Helix wave is pretty much selling out every time they restock; but I guess that's good. They also had the new Clone Wars figs at Salt Lake Target, but Gree was already gone by the time I got there. I went to Kapolei Target around 5 p.m. too (8/11) and they had the deluxe ROC figures there again, about 3 of each. No new Clone Wars figs though, except for the 501 clone w/ bike, 212th clones w/ jetpacks and Turbo Tanke support squad deluxe figure sets. I went to Kapolei K-mart right after (8/11) and they had The Empire Strikes Back Legacy wave there... that's about it. |

I went to Ala Moana Walmart on Saturday (8/15) and they were literally overflowing with ROC figs. LOL. It was pretty much all the Paris Pursuit wave though, and man, they had so much they couldn't even fit it all on the pegs. They just put the rest (like maybe a hundred or more figs) on top of the other toys in piles that overflowed onto the ground. If you wanted a particular fig from the bottom of the pile it was like you was playing Jenga all of a sudden. LOL.
I did see like two cases of the Helix wave along with a single Helix though; so the Helix wave is definitely reaching Walmart now and will probably be showing up at the other Walmarts soon (except maybe the Pearl City one; something is wrong with that one... their toy section sucks for some reason, lol). Who is going to buy up all those figs though? It really makes me worried about them actually ordering a lot of the "city strike" Snake Eyes wave since that one is like two waves away. |

Walmart management is not intelligent. They sat on cases on figures and they put out the figures late after the sales at TRU and Target (which are still both cheaper than WM). They waited til their store resets to put out a bulk of their figures.
Now due to pricing and being so late in the game, their wave 1s and 2s will pegwarm as everyone buying the line will be purchasing at Target and TRU. Then they will tell Hasbro that the line is not doing well and not selling and find reasons to not order the City Strike line. And Hasbro will have to jump to Walmart's tune since they are the single biggest retailer. It doesn't make any sense. BTW, Pearl City WM sucks because they have a whole 3 pegs dedicated to figures. I was there on Saturday night and I saw literally 12 cases of figures, all Wave 2 revision and 1 Wave 3. Stopped by earlier today and they had put MAYBE 4 cases out. They have 8-10 more cases in the back. But of course they won't put them out until the current inventory sells. Isn't the whole point to put out ALL the product so that consumers can purchase what they want? Said of course by a older, twenty-something guy who collects plastic men.

Oh, I forgot to mention I saw BnB Sgt. Slaughter at Kapolei K-mart late yesterday afternoon (8/17). I was excited because that was the first time I saw him, but after looking at him I decided I didn't want him at hid him at the back of the BnB peg... kinda embarrassed about that. LOL. It looks like K-mart is finally getting Wave 6 of the BnB figs though.
And yah, Wal-mart sucks. LOL. |

Oh yeah. Kunia Wal-Mart has the Wal-Mart exclusive Star Wars figs. Was tempted by Corran Horn and his Whistler droid, since i did read those books, but $19.55 is highway robbery.
