The Empire Strikes Back assortment includes Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Princess Leia, Bespin Luke Skywalker, Dengar, 4-Lom, Han Solo, General Veers, C-3PO and a Cloud Car Pilot.

The sighting was made at a Walmart in Ontario.

Awesome news! I'll have to check around this weekend! :D

I hope they show up in more places. I just was at my local walmart and they didn't have any star wars except yarna.

I really want to look at these in person to decide if I want to grab them.

Ithey didn't have any star wars except yarna.



Can't tell you how sick I am of seeing that figure clogging the pegs at ever Wal-Mart I go to around Ontario. :rolleyes:

Well, Wave 1 is out in Canada and already, we're getting pictures of Wave 2 offerings....

Here is our first look at the upcoming repacked Clone Commander Cody figure that will be released in The Vintage Collection. This particular version is the UGH chase variant with a silver foil cardback. :D

These are the only Star Wars figures I still collect. I'll be picking these up.

How much are these going for?

I missed Dak. He must have been released as well.

And I found this description for him on BBTS:

1x Dak (not currently pictured): Ultimately proving incompatible withy the rigid discipline required by the Jedi Order, Dak left the order and attempted to convince female Cathar Jedi Juhani, whom Dak loved one-sidedly, to do the same. Disgruntled over the rejection and disillusioned in general, Dak, leaving Dantooine, was drawn to the Dark Side and was thusly prompted to join the Sith Academy on Korriban.

What a retcon, Dak was a Sith Agent - and all this time I thought he was just as Snow Speeder gunner:p

:confused: that's a crazy description :confused:

Juhani's from the KotOR video game so I'm guessing they mistook him for someone from there..

Yes he has been released... saw him yesterday in Quebec

Haven't seen any of these in my area yet and I am dying to add another Boba Fett to my collection. :D

The Wal-Marts in my area are picked pretty clean these days... :rolleyes:

I found these at my local walmart here in Oshawa. They also had the DVD packs but not much else in the way of new stuff. And really they only had out 1-2 cases of new products.

As soon as I had a look at these figures, I passed on them. Up close I didn't like the sculpt and paint apps on a lot of these figures. Every Han had a flat head, elgonated nose. And luke looked like a paint by numbers figure.

I'm very dissappointed as I was really looking forward to hopefully getting figures of this wave. I especially wanted Luke. And even though I could repaint him, I don't want to pay full price for a figure I'm not initially happy with.

So if you are looking for the full wave in Canada, Oshawa Walmart has it!

I found these at my local walmart here in North Vancouver. They also had the DVD packs but not much else in the way of new stuff. And really they only had out 1-2 cases of new products.

As soon as I had a look at these figures, I passed on them. Up close I didn't like the sculpt and paint apps on a lot of these figures. Every C-3P0 had a unpainted lower leg. And Han looked like a paint by numbers figure.

I'm very dissappointed as I was really looking forward to hopefully getting figures of this wave. I especially wanted Boba Fett. And even though I could repaint him, I don't want to pay full price for a figure I'm not initially happy with.

So if you are looking for the full wave in Canada, North Vancouver Walmart has it... :) :p ;)
