*No spoilers*
I found a new Star Wars Ep3 figure at Wal Mart. It wasn't a sneak preview one, it was a brand new one without the sneak preview sticker. I grabbed the Senate Guard (who looks the same as the Ep2 figure and the Emperor's Royal Guard), the only non-sneak preview figure they had, and took him to register. The woman tries to ring it up but it says "do not sell."
Here is where I fib a little bit. So I say that there are others there too. I say it cost $5.88, hoping she will ring it up for me. I say I bought others ones there too.
But the stupid toy manager comes over and says it doesn't have a sticker on it for sneak preview and they can't sell it until April 2nd. I play dumb and shake my head. He says it was a mistake and it should not have been put out.
I was thinking later I sould have tried the self checkout or talked to a manager. I would have been even more mad if it was a bigger character or especially Obi-Wan, my favorite. Oh well I will have to wait a few weeks. Stupid Wal Mart.

Actually, if you were into Star Wars figures, you would know that this guy isn't lying, cause a lot of stores broke street date on these toys. Kmart and Walmart both have since pulled everything and made it so even if it was put out, it wouldn't scan. Jeez...

Yeah, they put them on lockdown until April 2nd. They won't even ring up on the register until then.

I tried the self check out. The register tells you that you can not buy the item and to return it to a customer representative.

I found them today too. I saw Chewbacca, Anakin, The Emperor, some droids and Obi Wan. I was talking to my buddy in toys at Wal-Mart and he told me that since the store is under renovations they can't keep anything in the back. They're hidden behind a pole, but they're out and for sale. I don't collect Star Wars toys, but even I was tempted to buy them.

As I've said before, I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but I think I'll get all of the Anakin/Vader figures. Yoda, Chewi and Obi Wan are pretty much must have's also.
