Actually Phil, we've only got about 10 left and most of them came in on the January trucks.
Remember, my branch had the busiest toy department in the country so by Chrimbo Eve we were pretty much picked clean. People would've bought the Star Wars data strips on the front of the shelves if we'd let them. The Lars Homesteads were the last to go, but by mid December they were down to 30 quid and, well, it does have a trooper in it and the box says Star Wars, so that was all folk needed.
Since then we've only had a smattering of TIE fighters, ARC-170s and Rancors come in along with the homesteads. The homestead is selling worst, needless to say, but we do still get the occasional collector picking one up.

Mad. Swindon is swimming in them, and has got a reasonable ammount of figures too.

No new vehicles in TRU. Occasional flurries of figures to keep Yarna Dal Gargan and Ak Rev company but they clear out again pretty swiftly. Today, however, we got two boxes of the Battlefront Figure Packs, apparently based on a recent game. There are two variants that I could see- one set is about five different clone trooper variants while the other is a pack of separatist droids. Dunno if anyone here is on the look out for them.

They are about 18 months old and were someone else's exclusive. But they're great figures

Whoo. Not much news here for a while, it seems.
Just thought I should give a heads up to anyone who regrets not buying an AT-TE last year- 15 of them showed up in my branch of Toys'r'us this morning at half price- £49.99. Anybody requires one please give me a shout.

I was very pleased to get an original AT-AT for a very good price at a car boot sale the other day. I've wanted one for a long time and it's just about the last thing I want for my vintage collection.

I read that TRU UK has new SW in stock including the vintage carded figures and that Big At-At (henceforth BAT-AT)`

Good grief. I had heard that the new AT-AT was big, but it hadn't really sunk in just _how_ big it is. That really is a bit of a behemoth isn't it?

Yup. And the snowspeeder can now fly through it's legs.
Going to have to have the newer ATST to go with it. Now I want the clone walker & tank......

Saw the AT-AT at TRU. Looks great and that box is heavy. But, really, a £130 toy that doesn't include batteries for the light and sound features? That's taking the piss.
I got all nostalgic looking at the AT-ST (had one back in the day) but balked at the astonishing £50 price-tag!

Well, put it this way I saw it and thought : "Cool! I could be tempted at some point." then saw the price of it and thought: "nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
