Remember those Walmart exclusive Value Packs from The Saga Collection? Walmart goes back to their roots and are now offering another special two-pack for the 2009 holiday season. Being found right now are the blue The Legacy Collection two-packs. As of this posting, it looks as if the figures are only being culled from Wave 3, Wave 4, and Wave 5 and put together in one package that retails for $7.46! That's $3.73 each! If you passed on any of these great figures, now is the time to pick them up! BOGO makes us bonkers! What a steal! Click through to see a larger image of these sets!

Walmart is getting a plethora of holiday endcaps full of new Star Wars figures. These can be found at the front checkout area of the store or back in the toy aisles. We found the new The Clone Wars Padmé wave in good supply in addition to tons of the Revenge Of The Sith and Return Of The Jedi figures.

We also get "another" Han Solo in the A New Hope wave in the Legacy Collection. Research Droids Reviews takes a look at this figure and wonders why Hasbro took the approach they did with it. Is it everything you would want in a Han Solo action figure? We absolutely say "no" but the figure may still offer things that you will like. We haven't been that impressed.

Kmart is having an incredible sale on all basic Star Wars action figures. They are BOGO (buy one, get one free)! Also, the latest The Clone Wars wave (including the Clone Tank Gunner, Matchstick and the new Padmé Amidala figures - we just found them today in great numbers) have been hitting there pretty frequently so now is a better time than ever to trek out to the Big K! The figures retail for $8.99 each, but with the sale they come to $4.50 each. This is a great deal! Click through for the proof!

The Legacy Collection is sure giving us a lot of clone commanders and Research Droids Reviews looks at a figure that helps to pad the Revenge Of The Sith themed wave, Commander Bacara.

What are you looking for in the Legacy Collection as far as basic figures are concerned? Wave 2 (Return Of The Jedi) is appearing in healthy supply at TARGET, Wave 3 (A New Hope) can be found frequently at Walmart and TARGET, and wave 4 (Revenge Of The Sith) can be found at Toys R Us and Walmart. Legacy Collection has arrived hot and heavy! What are you finding out there? Of course, you may be finding all three waves everywhere, but the point is to get out there now and find the stuff!

If you're a fan of Ralph McQuarrie's artwork and thought that the concept action figures had gone the way of the dinosaur, then you are in for a real treat with today's Research Droids Reviews entry. One of our favorite bounty hunters gets its day in the sun as three dimensional plastic art!

Do you remember that green slimy fuzz (that could easily wipe away) that appeared on many of the white figures in the 2002-2004 Star Wars line? We don't want to cause premature alarm, but with all the new figures we found this afternoon (the Revenge Of The Sith wave), we discovered some (not all) of the Stormtrooper, Commander Bacara and Han Solo (Stormtrooper Gear) figures had some very familiar looking greenish deposit on them (that we could also easily wipe away). Is Hasbro returning to the same plastics of years ago? We tried our best to photograph this for you to see it, but our cameras just didn't seem to pick it up in the snapshots. Long story short, check out your [white] figures before you buy them.

Revenge Of The Action Figures!!! We will just call it plain "Thank You Hasbro!" Call it whatever you like but Wave 4 (or 11) (the Revenge Of The Sith wave) has infiltrated Toys R Us in alarming numbers! We found four (4) cases this morning at our local Langhorne, PA location. While we have yet to see any wave 3 figures (the A New Hope wave) hit the pegs, we will at the moment be more more thankful that we found these! Click through for the proof! Get out there folks and beat the shoppers to the stores that only come out of the woodwork November 1st through Christmas!

Wow! Clone Commander Cody has received a massive upgrade and we are going nuts over it! Check out today's Research Droids Reviews and see just was Hasbro did to make him the definitive (or awfully close) Cody action figure! Super-articulated and coming with some of the coolest accessories ever, Clone Commander Cody is easily already one of the top five action figures for us of 2009! See if you agree!

We found the Walmart exclusive AT-ST (All Terrain Scout Transport) in healthy supply at multiple stores in the Philadelphia area this morning! The set looks great and while it is a bit pricy, at least it comes with an AT-ST Driver action figure - it heals the wound just a tad (for us at least)! Click through to see some quick pictures.

We found the brand new Galactic Heroes Cinema Scenes at TARGET this morning. They look great and seem to be selling quite fast. Expect the Slave I to be a doozy to find. We personally have only come across the Endor Bunker set. Click through for the proof.

Walmart has marked the Clone Turbo Tank down to $76.00, even cheaper than the special Toys R Us current price of $79.99. We didn't find any on the shelves, but we saw stickers showing off the newly advertised price. Click through for the proof.

We just this morning found the new red phase The Clone Wars deluxe figures including Speeder Bike With Count Dooku and Freeco Speeder With Obi-Wan Kenobi. The figures are significantly enhanced and now include soft-goods, new paint applications and even ball-jointed hips (Count Dooku). The figures themselves are reason enough to pick up these deluxe sets. Click through for larger images.

Just when you thought you had enough with Legacy Wave 4, we are
dropping another bombhsell on ya! Legacy Wave 5 has arrived, and the
IG-88 Concept Figure wants in on your collection. Surely, you

longer have to seek them out individually as they now come in a
complete box set! How convenient.

Are the Legacy Collection Walmart Exclusive Droid Factory sets making another return shipment to retail? We don't think so as a whole, but we found a store in Lawrenceville/Princeton, NJ that received three more sets of each just this morning! Local collectors may want to trek out and see if they can grab these very hard to find collectibles! We also recommend others not living in the area to check their local stores too. And if you're interested, you can learn more about them by reading our Research Droids Reviews on all five sets plus the massive Dark Trooper Phase III Build A Droid figure HERE.

Hurry!
The AT-TE is only $14.99 at ToysRUs.com!! Limited to 10 per customer, these
will likely disappear very shortly! UPDATE: We are sorry to report that TRU.com must have listed the $14.99 as an error and have marked the vehicle back up to $49.99. Congrats to those of you who scored it at $14.99 and let's hope we don't get a lovely letter cancelling our orders!
