Another Walmart Adventure. Time to start hawking the stores for the new 2008 two-packs items. I saw this at the Walmart in San Jose California $6.73 for Kit Fisto/Grievous two-pack. The register said not ready for sale so I had the manager put this on hold to call me later. Being an honest person sure does not work out for me again. Otherwise I need to go hide these on some high shelf in the underwear section  I think this is the new packaging. Blue letters with other figures in the line shown on the Back card such as Clone Pilot Jag/Plo Koon + Destroyer Droid/Jar Jar Binks. (man I have been anxiously waiting for these). The store was restocked on other items luke/vader unmasker, jango/obi and others all in the newer blue lettering cards. I had just gotten the jango set with the redish/black packaging so I know this has got to be new and jango is super shiny. Plus the date on the Fist/Grievous showed Hasbro 2008... (Modified to match Hasbro listing these as Fall Wave 1) |

My Walmart had the new blue packaging out last night, about 40 two packs on 8 pegs... Don't collect GH myself... but I'll trade em to someone if you have SHS Wave 6 MOC.  ;D |

Yes, the new white/blue packaging isn't supposed to be sold until 7/26 Thanks Dex1138 ..... 7-26 = 12 MORE DAYS... It is really painfull seeing these on the pegs again today and trying to be an honest customer. The good news is they are coming for sure. I will close my eyes until then. Darn, I forgot to bring a camera for preview pix. |

See the info to your post on Wave 6 for www.Hasbro.com. If wave 6 is still on the pegs I can grab these and hold for a while in case you still are unable to get them. USPS Shipping from California is more expensive than what Hasbro would charge you. |

If you send parcel post (ie: slooooow) it should be fairly cheap. Not sure of the exact size but you could grab one of those large flat rate prioirty boxes for $8.95.

It is really painfull seeing these on the pegs again today and trying to be an honest customer. The good news is they are coming for sure. I will close my eyes until then. I'd suggest finding a good hiding spot for them...just to be on the safe side. |

The Hasbro checklist was put up last night and it shows Geonosis Arena Pack #2, maybe Mace will be in there since he was in the original Playskool Arena Set. |

Sweet Checklist and poster.
Distribution in my area looks good (considering pre-release). I saw most of wave 1 and all of wave 2 on the pegs. These Wave 1 were not yet on pegs: Princess Leia Jabba's Slave/R2-D2 + Super Battle Droid/R2-D2 + Princess Leia/Darth. None of Wave 3 yet.
Questions: should I scrub the system by closing this thread and go back to the "upcoming thread".??.

Target and Fry's (in addition to Walmart) are stocking up in bulk on this side of the country.
Stange that they have way more of the repacks than the new ones. How many Chewies, C3POs, Anikans do they want to sell!
