Craptastic! I just found out that Wave 13 of the Star Wars figures earlier this year held TRU exclusives of Jaina and Jacen Solo! How did I miss that?! I must be slipping in my old age.
Sadly, they're already at least 20 bucks each online.
Not a snag, but i was unaware of a new Super Girl sculpt. This is a leaked DCUC fig from China already being auctioned. A much improved version than the Shlutty one currently in rotation. Ive purchased from these guys in the past and they are legit DCUC figs.

Naperville, IL TRU has a full shelf of new Star Wars figures. Also have Transformers Generations figures, Hunt for Decepticon figures, and Powercore figures.
Star Wars and Transformers are buy one, get one 1/2 off.
Rarely has Hasbro ever impressed me. They killed the detail and articulations on the Marvel legends figures and eventually the popular Marvel Legends line. So i was quite surprised to see this movie version of StarScream (Leader line ; Hunt for the Decepticons)! This thing is freakin sweeet! Articulation, detail and engineering! Well, i cant really give much credit to Hasbro, i found out that this is a Takara Japan design and released in the U.S under Hasbro (heard the Takara release is even more detailed!). This fig stands bout near the Masterpiece line (also Takara), There is already an announcement of the same character gettin the Masterpiece fig treatment, which im sure will blow this away. You guys like it?, then run to TRU Chicago. $44.99.
To get the idea of the sizing, here he is sandwiched between Masterpiece G1 Starscream and Movie version 1 StarScream.
Got both for a total of $12.00 bux which included shipping. I normally wudda got gouged by scalpers here for these boys, but nope there are still great deals out there!
Appreciate a day of gifts..Thats right, gots the SDCC Plastic Man for $30. not bad, since these things a flooding the market! Awesome packaging with an equally awesome DCuC fig!..now the dillema; do i open him? arrgh!
Walked into K-Mart in Norridge, Il. to look for some DCUz, and ran into this behemoth!! $99.99 BOOMZ, but check out the size comparisons with the original AT-AT and you will see this toy is freakin awesome with alll the bells and whistles! toy of the year hands down!
You gotta love Asia. Not only do they come out early with our special figs at a fraction of the cost, licensing is also a grey area. I picked up a devastator add on attachments from a company called CrazyDevy who promises to spruce up your G1 TF Devastator form the unplayable cr@p we were served back in da day. Heres a before and after ; G1 Devastator;
AND heres the UPGRADE!!!;
lIT UP!!
Alot more articulation, height, detail, and light up feature! And i gotta admit its close to the Devastator on screen and in comic! You can attempt to snag these at BBTS or TFsource.com. Yes its a grip, but im happy!
