Sweet. It will be time to get a Cobra Gunship (which everyone will want once they see the movie)

I was really excited when I first saw this but now that I think about it I already have more of the C1W1 & C2W1 figures than I know what to do with and when you factor in the already high prices on vehicles it's only a couple dollars less than what wal~Mart is selling them for.

That said, this is still great news to coincide with the movie.  This should definitely help kick start sales of the line.

I'm more worried about TRU overstocking wave 1 figs.  They did a great job of clearing out early waves of Star Wars Clone Wars figs with sales.  However I worry that they would rather sit on movie stuff than clear it out for later waves if it doesn't move enough.  Or worse they over order older waves and it sits on shelves as newer stuff passes us by.

Stock up on figures and exchange them for later waves.

Any risk of the SKU's changing on us, making that not work? I've never really worked the exchange system at TRU other than last month I got $25 bucks back due to the sale after I'd bought the Joes. That didn't involve any returns though.

Already another sale...
Even though I appreciate it, I wish they would stock other waves because I'm getting tired to see the same 10 figures everywhere while they seem to be crawling in the Paris Pursuit toys south of the border.

They won't stock others until distribution is out of the current wave(s).

Best thing we can hope for is that the movie is a big hit and the kiddies talk mom and dad into stopping at TRU to get Joes.

very exciting, that is a better deal than the last sale, which was awesome!

We have the helix/hawk/commando wave at our TRU.

Indeed. I'm looking forward to that wave.
