Plenty of weird (and/or interesting/useful) products from ThinkGeek.com (who are SWNZ's newest affiliate).

Following on from their Tauntaun sleeping bag, a Wampa floor rug is imminent to coincide with the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back.

The latest Warehouse Mailer (12th -18th May) -

"Buy anything on this page and get a 2nd of the same product for $5!"

Included is "Star Wars Basic Figure 3.75" for $19.69ea and "Star Wars Basic Lightsaber" for $19.99ea

So I guess that's two basic figures for $25, not too bad The figure picture is of Han Solo Legacy Collection, so I'm not sure if Clone Wars is included? Wouldn't hurt to try/ask I guess.

Just in time for new stock to arrive too! I just heard that wave 12.5 of Legacy has been spotted at the Warehouse here in Welly.

Yep, I can confirm that. Stock is limited though. I managed to grab me a Hoth Luke Skywalker, AT-AT Driver, Snowtrooper, Gungan Warrior, Commander Cody and Imperial Scanning Crew... Which also gave me all of the parts to assemble HK-50 (making it 7 figures for $75).

Today is a good day

Thanks so much for the heads up Anaria!

Daniel, if you head down there be sure to check the stand by the front door as well as the usual part of the toy section. They seem to have spread the figures out.

A whole slew of new figures at The Warehouse Stores around Wellington. I spotted the entire wave 12 Empire Strikes Back wave including Snowspeeder Luke, Zuckuss, Willrow Hood, R2-X2, AT-AT Driver, Cloud City Wing Guard and Concept Snowtrooper as well as carry forwards figures from previous waves we missed out on like Jedi Luke, Commander Cody, Agen Kolar, Plo Koon and Imperial Scanning Crew all with HK-50 parts.

Great to see The Warehouse stocking new products for this promo unlike other local retailers in New Zealand, I am looking at you Toyworld!

Have a look around your local stores as the stands with the figures don't seem to always be in the Toy Section!

Thanks for the tip! I'm hoping to get to my local Warehouse at Lyall Bay tonight and check out what they have. Congrats on your excellent score.

Spotted all above listed figures except the scanning crew.
