Did Wedge's X-Wing ever go on clearance?

I didn't try way down there. In the past week, I've been to about 5 differet Targets and 4 Walmarts. Nothing I want/need was on clearance and never saw the Rancor. Ironically, that Toys in the Attic store (mostly Star Wars stuff) had the Corran Horn/R2 pack for $9.95 and it was 20% off. Paid $8.60. I almost bought last year's 4-LOM, too. This store is right next door to a Walmart that was still charging $17. The Walmart next to my house still wants $43 for the AT-ST and $30 for the Dewback.

I saw the Rancor also for 35, passed on it. Hopefully I can wait one more mark down on it. I havent seen a Dewback at all for retail or clearance in 4 different WM's.

I'm sure you forgot a "Flantdigus" somewhere in your full name, Cal.

Back to SW, what do you guys think of the leaked Hasbro slideshow images? If true, then they've revealed a new AT-AT and the entire mainline being done in the vintage-style packaging. I do think it's true - though we won't know for sure for a few more weeks - but this could be some pretty goddamn cool stuff.
Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

Going back to the vintage packaging would be cool. There is a chance I'd buy 2 of the same figure to keep one carded. A new AT-AT isn't surprising since they have been doing big vehicles lately. I won't get one.

Yesterday my wife found one of those remote control R4 droids at Target for $4. I was hoping it was R5-D4, but it was the red/white one. Haven't tried it out yet.

I really hate this build a droid shit. I so do not want to buy the repacks, but I have fuck all retarded droids hanging out. If they would only make a droid factory playset, it would be awesome, or even a Jabbas Dungeon.

It is over after the EU wave, right? It sucks that Jabba's palace droid is part of that wave. Would have been nice if they packed it with the ESB wave. I would have bought that AT-AT Driver if it meant completing it. Instead, I have the head, arms, and legs of some EU droid.

I managed to find the X-Wing for $35. Found the Snowspeeder Luke, too. I guess I'm caught up. Can't remember if there is anything else I want coming out, or is that it until Toy Fare?

You never have to buy a repack to finish the droid. Not a single one. It's just an option for people who don't want to get some of the new figures.

Yeah, the EU wave is the last BAD set. There's not much coming soon - the EU wave, two new Clone Wars waves, (maybe) some Clone Wars deluxe sets, and (maybe, but possibly not) those three Walmart comic packs, and (maybe, but not for a while) some of those other comic packs.
Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

I was getting at another Han SOlo with 1/2 stormie gear, another Chewbacca, that type of repack shit.

Ah, okay, then. I could see how that would be annoying to non-collectors.
