You are all well aware that the "Greatest Hits" figures have been absorbed as basic figures into the main line. But you may just want to pay closer attention to the figures and NOT overlook them. It appears that the Boba Fett figure will be new after all based on his appearance from The Empire Strikes Back. The former Evolutions figure gets a makeover! He has been painted so dramatically we thought he was the Return of The Jedi version at first! And with the recent news of a cleaner looking Commander Bacara and the slight deco change on the already released Biker Scout, it looks like we are going to get more than we bargained for in the basic line. Click thumbnail to check this figure out in addition to MANY more!

Recycled clones are becoming a necessity in the basic figure line of The Clone Wars.

Just in time, our 109th Research Droids Reviews entry at 9:09 on 09/09/09! We hope you enjoy reading our thoughts on one of three (three - a factor of nine) three-packs of very cool figures in a complete set of 9 total WAL*MART exclusive figures.

Found earlier today at the Cinnaminson, NJ TARGET was the error Saga Legends Chewbacca figure. For those of you who may not be aware, very few production samples/case assortments were packed with the BD 3 Chewbacca (Sandstorm) figure instead of the correct VOTC Chewbacca. This is definitely more than a photo shoot mistake (as evidenced by our purchase) so we recommend checking out your retail stores if you are definitely wanting this figure in your collections. These errors are very likely to be a lot rarer than we think. For those who are curious, there were no signs of the error Han Solo (Bespin) figure without his jacket. Click through to check out the proof.

We were surprised to witness a TARGET employee open a "brand new" case of wave 6 of TLC (The Empire Strikes Back wave) in front of us this morning and pull out a "no skirt" Hoth Rebel Trooper. These may still be shipping out there folks, so keep your eyes peeled if you're looking to add this figure to your collection. Click thumbnail below to check out this hard to find figure!

Stop the press! We are getting reports that the WAL*MART exclusive Evolutions sets are ringing up at the register now for $14.96. While we have yet to confirm what actually transpires at the register (i.e. customers saying they are $14.96 to the cashiers), we do have proof of the sets being snagged for $14.96. (Please see receipt below.) Those of you who have been fortunate enough to find these for this price (or lower), count yourselves "lucky". We expect WAL*MART to discover the error soon enough.
