Great. This figure is proving to be tough to find never mind the variant. I think we can all agree that we haven’t seen much in the last 5 months. Everything I see is old and doesn’t look like it has been stocked forever. Be prepared to drop alot of money on this variant. It was changed almost immediately. I heard possibly that maybe 50 to 100 of these made it out. So 50 to 100 cases as there is 1 per case. Think about how many stores there are in this country, how many cases get shipped and the chance you will see one of these variants. Its true that there could be a case or 2 in the back room with it in it, but the chances of that are slim.

For the cardbacks I just thik that they need to be consistent! Since they began showing the card front for never before released figures (Dack for example), they should have continued this for as long as the line runs. R2-D2 / Jabbas barge had the card front and then did not. Just stay consistent!

Keep the card front on these new figs instead of just a picture. Dont give scalpers the opportunity to gouge those who have a hell of a time seeing the figs on the shelves. Figures from old waves with “.00 or .01” on the cardbacks (when a running change was made)have no more value today than they did in the past.

And put them in STAR CASES as the ones on the pegs are geting banged up do to having to be punched through the peg itself!

I’m just glad that I don’t collect carded figures any more.

For just two days, I have been to 8 Walmart, 5 Super Target, and 4 Toys R Us. I have to say, Target is the worst place for searching rare figures. A few Walmart are actually pretty decent. It really depends on the neighborhood of that area. I find it that you have better luck at slum (getto) places instead of wealthy areas of Walmart.

In reply to Scott. your probably right, ive asked people at walmart if they could bring out a box or two and one time a nice girl did bring me two cases and they were both wave one, it just gets to me after the ROTJ wave ive seen very few new figures out there and if i do the card is destroyed. plus every store has maybe 3-4 pegs for vintage and like 15-20 for dumb clone wars, im just about to say screw it and sell mine off already

In reply to charlie P. You are lucky. I've never even seen an R2 on the pegs and saw a sandtrooper a few times many months ago. My Target just re-stocked the pegs full with Dengars and cloud car pilots today. No joke.

So, for added stress, can someone confirm whether or not the original version comes unpunched, or is it only punched as in these photos? I have not yet seen a specimen of the original unpunched. My own came right out of the case punched, while the 11 other figures were all unpunched. I’m rather furious over all this stuff, frankly. What are others finding who ordered this case?

Time ago I talked with a Wal-Mart employee, she told me that there is a few chaps in the store that have the control of the figures, before the new figures are in shelves, they call their mates to bought all of them, specially in Thursday night, when the shelves are refill or restock or put new releases according with the release date. So all the figures not only Star Wars, McFarlane and others are in eBay or other websites with high prices. Wal-Mart is 24/7 so they can do this as soon the new figures appears in the warehouses. One day I was until 1:00Am to get Lego Wampa Attack and guess what three chaps take all of them except the one that I grab from the box when the Wal-Mart employee opened.
