Subject: Star Wars Action Fleet items on sale!

Just stopped by my local Toys R Us yesterday and noticed that some of the Star
Wars Action Fleet items from Galoob are on sale. I picked up 2 Y Wings for
$1.97 each. Look
out Stargrunt 2 players - now I've got close air support!

Since I'm talking about Galoob, has anyone placed a phone order with them
recently? I checked the web page and there aren't any phone numbers that I can
see.

Thanks,

AHH!! The secret is out. I've been picking up Storm Troopers, Battle Droids,
etc at half price or less. Seems that Galoob(Hasbro) is liquidating stock.
Watch the toy section at your grocery store too.

Alas, my local TRU only had B-Wings for the Action Fleet. Not thrilling
to moi.

Just spent $15US on the earlier, smaller troops. At $.97US a pack, and about 9
per pack, plenty of both imperial and rebels, plus Ewoks, Tusken Raiders, and
Jawas for variety! As for liquidating, I figured it was TRU, not Galoob.

Ok, more than I'll ever use; people pretty much expect that of me. ;->=

Speaking of letting secrets out! Well, I've never found food stores good for
prices, but that's been a positive. They tend to hold on to 'unpopular' things
forever, at regular prices. Turned out to be a good place to find
wierd stuff I hunted strenuously. Say, #5 and #6 B5 packs. ;->=

Whoa, the Galoob site seems to be only open for the recall of those Sky
Dancers. Maybe there IS something bad going on with the company.
