I was just at Target and they had a full row of empty pegs. The stickers said Lava Vader. I have been going to Target for the past couple weeks already and they just set this up today. Hopefully they will be getting them in soon. I don't want to pay $50 for a figure.

That is true but I have not seen them yet but they might get replaced with the TARGET exclusive Clone Trooper.

If you can go to a Target tommorow ask a sales rep. The box says SUPER ARTICULATED CLONE TROOPER. Hope this helps

May 8th the Clone Trooper comes out. One thing that'll make you mad though is that some Target employees already got ahold of the figure and bought them. One guy who worked at Target said that he went ahead and bought a whole case of them. He posted pics of it too. I hate people like that. If they keep doing that there won't be any for the store on the 8th. I don't think there are any people at my Target that are like that, but ya never know. As for the Vader figure...I think they will be getting more in. If they were not going to, then why would they put up the pegs with the Vader sticker instead of a Clone Trooper sticker? Anyways, I'll let you know if I find anything.

Someone I know told me they found Lava Vaders at a Target so maybe they will be getting more.

I don't know if he's going to sell them on Ebay. Most likely though. From what I heard, they are not going to be as limited as Vader. If that's true...then those Clones shouldn't go for much. If they do try and sell them for a good amount of money, they probably won't sell since there will be plenty of them.

I don't think it's fair to buy a whole case but would you take advantage if you worked there?!

Heck no. I know how it is to try and get these figures. If I worked at Target, I'd just get one or two for myself.

I don't think they are limited because there is no number indicating how many there are. These will be similar to the Yoda exclusive at Toys R' US. Don't get too frustrated about finding them. They are not going for much on Ebay. Nowhere near the amount for the Lava Vader.

$65 for that! I hope people are not stupid enough to bid that much for that. There will be plenty of them. They will not be limited like the Vader figure.

When I go tommorrow I'm going to ask about both the Vader and Clone. If they have the Clones in back and let me buy it, I'll get a couple for myself. One to open and one to keep packaged.

that's just being greedy, there's no justification around it.
you want a whole case (not saying particularly you, but we are speaking hypothetically here) to sell individually on ebay for inflated prices as Jim mentioned.
that shit should not be tolerated and really bums out a lot of regular Star Wars fans who just want one fucking figure at least without having to pay 10x what they are originally worth.

fuck them, like i said, bring on the truck.


It's not just the employees. Collectors come and buy stuff like that all the time. I also don't think it is fair to buy a whole case to make a profit off of others. 1-3 at the most but not a whole case.

I posted in another forum that if I find the Lava Vaders I'll pick up a few of them for other people who want them. I'll be charging the same price as I paid. It'll be first come first serve though. I have a couple people who e-mailed me about it already. Now there is no guarantee that I'll be getting more than 1, but if Target lets me get more than one, I'll have it. There is a real good chance that I'll be getting them and that Target stores will have them soon. Besides me, a couple other people went to Target today and noticed that they set it up again. When they asked, the worker said they will be getting another shipment in.

If I find the exclusive Clone, I'll pick up a few also for the people who can't find them. Same deal as the Lava Vaders.
