Everyone, I just learned of these the other day when I was in a local Wal-Mart. I managed to pick up the Early Bird DV boxed set, OWK, Leia, Luke, and went to a Game Stop for the exclusive R5 D4. I am having trouble finding R2 and Han Solo from the first wave without paying 2-3 times retail from the Bay. My understanding is that Wave 2 does not come out until June. Any information of the reason of the R2 and Han shortage anyone has heard of, or are these more desirable for some reason?
I am not normally a figure or toy collector, but I used to have all the originals as a child in the 70's/80's and the cards drew me to these. Somehow was like a recapturing of my childhood. I have these displayed around my replica prop lightsabers currently and really enjoy looking at them in the bubbles/cards. My son grew up on the 90's re-release in the POTF line, so somewhere in his old toy chest most of these reside. Perhaps I should dig some of these out to display with the others.
Anyway, just looking for thoughts on this particular line any information about places to shop online, I have tried the obvious online sources such as (W-Mart, K-Mart, ToysRus, Amazon, and HasbroToys). I would also like any info on other exclusives I may not be aware of if anyone knows of some.
