I had an idea about creating a thread for any who wants to post their latest finds. I know I add something new to my collection ever day. This thread could be an ongoing "show and tell" for all of us. Any item at all, cup toppers, books, figures...anything. Today, I picked up the new MAD magazine to read while I sat and waited for Star Wars to start in the theater. It's the one with a parody of the teaser poster on the cover. I also picked up all four of the posters from Taco Bell. That's all for me today, not a big day in comparison to others I've had. BTW-I did my part for Fan Day, I saw it for the 17th time today. |

SlaveII you responded to me asking me if I get to Jax often haven't seen any post lately from you. Have you seen any of the new figures down there yet. I haven't been down for awhile. I figured since you posted this topic and it looks like you might have hunted today you would have said so but just wanted to keep in touch. Nothing up here in Georgia I was thinking of heading up to brunswick mall to check out the K.B. up there. There was a post in the last thread we talked that said someone in miami found some so it should be anyday that we can start to find them. Sorry if this was off the thread topic but I did go see TPM for the 5 th time today and the local taco bell don't have anymore posters. |

I have slowed down since that fateful day in May and now am only buying a thing or two at a time. I have all of the figures that are out so I am mainly buying the vehicles and the various odds and ends. My latest find is the Flash Speeder. Purple4lee bought this for me last week. Her latest find (an end of the school year present from me) is an insulated JarJar (she loves him- what can I say?  ) cup and a JarJar bookmark to go in her new Jedi Apprentice books.

Darth Shadow-I looked at TRU and Kay-Bee today for new figures but found nothing. I check Wal-Mart every other day and nothing there either. My neighbor is a big fan as well. Each morning he hits several Wal-Marts on the way to work and has not found any new ones yet either. I will definitely let you know when I start seeing them. |

I picked up a Watto figure today. I must say that he is one of the most detailed figures that I have seen. We also picked up three 50 piece 5x7 EP1 puzzles. They really are quite neat and frame very easily. The puzzles go for around 1.50$ and the frames cost us 2.19$. Keep a look out for them. They make a really nice (and cheap) collectable. Stay cool all. |

I found the Flash Speeder too, along with these amazing lightsaber pens at Walmart. Two of the pens can be attached together to form Darth Maul's lightsaber. They're great! I have not spotted any 4th wave figures in Canada yet. Has anyone? |

Yeah, I asked them what they were going to do with it and they said they throw them away! I gave it a good home Another thing that helps is that it was in an out of the way place. A truck stop 15 miles out on the highway. I don't think there would be any collectors remotely close. |

Gee, sounds like you had a great day samwise. I still have not seen any of the new figures here. Of course, I usually only go looking on the weekends, when I can make the rounds. |

I had a pretty good day today. I picked up Darth Maul (Wave one, no hazard warning), Jar Jar, and the BattleDroid that has the burnt looking chest/shoulder area. Anyone else notice that the BD sounds nothing like it does in the movie? Stay cool all. |

Well earlier today on my trip to TRU I FINALLY found some of the new figs! I picked up all of the different ones they had in(which was the Naboo Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon figures,still no sign of OOM-9,Ody Mandrell,Tatooine Darth Maul or the others...). Apparently they had just got stock in that day- there were at least 6 Darth Mauls (wave 1)and at least 3 Mace Windus in plain sight. Got the posters from TB, no sign of the Nute Gunray or Mace Windu toppers from Pizza Hut, and picked up a Jar Jar bucket topper at KFC (I don't have any of the KFC cup toppers, the resteraunts around here never got them ). |

I got the nute topper, I'm just waiting for mace and, of all things, jar jar at PH. they were really slow getting everything. those two are all I need to complete the set. I'm still looking for the ki-adi figure. I haven't seen any of the new waves yet in stores - I'm in Nashville. my best find as of late is not really a find, I just like it, the bucket topper from KFC with the battle droid. it's cool! |

Howdy! ! First, I just got the insider Leia in Hoth, Death Star Droid, Pote Snitkin and At'At driver. What I would like to ask from all/any of you is where I can get a perfect comprehensive list of all POTF figures, including the new Episode I and those upcoming. I'm trying to get them all, but keep coming across sites or whatnot that say this figure is out, that figure is out and I've never seen them. Anyway, thanks if you help out. |

Yesterday I stopped in KB toys in my home town and found sitting on the shelf a Collector fleet electronic star destroyer, I had never seen one eccept on Ebay and there they were going for $75.00 and up. KB had it marked for 24.99, the woman who worked there said they were cleaning out the stock room and found it in a corner, It was mint in the box, well not now, it;s on a shelf in my room and the great thing is that when she scanned the price it came up 14.99 what a deal and it's super cool. |
