If you have a gap in your collection, might be worth checking out your local branch. (I don't think we've had any reports of the Sabine or Hera 2-packs showing up at NZ retailers yet though). http://swnz.dr-maul.com/forums/viewtopi ... 248#p17248
Just checked out the Welly Warehouse and can confirm that they've freshly-stocked their pegs with a whole bunch of these. No Hera or Sabine two-packs unfortunately, and the only Chopper on the rack came home with me - but everyone else appears to be accounted for.

Also, the Lambton Quay Whitcoulls has the full set of Hot Wheels ships in store as of today.

And photographic evidence of the extent to which some (?most) The Warehouse branches are stocking up on Rebels figures (this was at Glenfield, Auckland).

Yay, Rebels figures have arrived! Was popping in here to report on finding Saga Legends & mission Series wave 1 in good numbers at The Warehouse in Lyall Bay, Wellington and I see the story is the same all over the country. Fair prices too! $12 a figure. :) I hope they sell very well.

I came across the Hot Wheel mini ships at Farmers on the weekend. Great to see they have hit stores in Wellington.

Spotted the Ghost, Falcon, Slave 1, Y-Wing & Snowspeeder.

The Warehouse, meantime, had fresh stock of the Hotwheels SW cars. It was the first time I had seen the Chopper, Boba Fett or Darth Maul cars in person.
