Star Wars MIGHTY MUGGS

I went by my local walmart again today, (they seem to stock on Sunday) But there wasn't any there, nor were there any new Star Wars figs at all. The same ones that have been there for ages. This walmart was pretty good about fresh stock when it first opened, but now it hardly ever gets any new figures. Guess they are still sluggish from this past Christmas. I mean who's gonna buy toys after that.
Anywho, I'll keep checking when I get the chance, but I may have to swing by Target to see if anything new has popped up there. I'm really wanting a Boba Fett. Just wish he came with a gun.

That's odd. My two don't have any balancing trouble. Maybe your Chewbacca has vertigo.
Upon closer inspection, i retract my balancing complaint. See, we had planned to set these guys up on top of the TV since we don't really have any proper shelf space set aside for Star Wars stuff, and sometimes new acquisitions get housed atop the tv to show them off for a while. Turns out the tv's just not completely level, and i was able to compensate with other figures because they have poseable legs. I put Chewie on a regular shelf and he's plenty stable now.
But i'm still of the opinion that if they're gonna keep putting random peg-holes in toys' feet, more toys need to come with little bases to stand on.

Mace Windu,Luke Skywalker,Obi Wan Kenobi,and C3PO.
Even if I had the $$ I woulda passed on them. Not very interesting characters IMO.

Well, I made my trek today. The closest Wal-mart to me is now officially the slackest Walmart in my area. They never restock the toys, and they never have anything new. So I skipped them, and went straight to Target! Cause they usually restock pretty well. But strangely they hadn't restocked the Star Wars figs at all since my last visit when I got my Chewbacca and Darth. They had the same leftovers, and in fact had the same three Han Solo Mighty Muggs. I was dashed.
So I decided that I could swing by the walmart that was practically next to Target. They always seem stocked up, and at the very least maybe they would have something interesting!
So I go in and go straight to the toys. I start looking through the basic figs, and to my amazement they had a bunch of new stock! I was really only looking for concepts and the 30th Boba Fett Comic 2pack, and they had like 5 of them! YAY!! I could now finish my 30th ann Boba Collection! I was also about to pick up the Cool Trooper Comic pack that looked Hella Awesome, but I looked down, and low and behold! MIGHTY MUGGS!!! I couldn't believe it! There were Boba Fetts everywhere! And Then Behind the Boba Fetts, Stormtroopers! And beside the Troopers Darth Mauls! Boy was I a happy camper! I felt like a little kid again. So I found me a buggy, and sadly put back the trooper pack. Cause all I had on me was enough to get the Boba Fett 2 pack, the Boba MM, and the Stormtrooper MM! I looked at Maul, and really didn't care for him.
So at the moment I am done with Mighty Muggs. I have the 4 from the first run that I wanted, and none of the second set really interests me. I may look into C3PO, but he is a bit dull. I'll open the Trooper MM, but I'm sure I'll leave the Boba in his box. He just looks good on my shelf with the other MOC 30th Boba Fett figs I have sitting up there.
The Storm Trooper is awesome! He has a cool little gun! If you picky be careful. There were about 5 Troopers there, but they get rushed with the paint apps, and only one had straight black paint on his arms. The rest looked a bit runny.
Who knows, I might open all my Bobas when the prices drop more. They just look really good in their packaging. They did a really good job with the Packing quality of the 30th anniversary figs. The best I've seen since the Vintage line.
Sorry for the long read, I just had a pretty good day is all.

It starts out innocently enough...i see these on here, tell the wife about 'em...she sees 'em in a store, and suddenly we've got a Chewbacca. Then the Stormtrooper. Then we started to see Series 2 and worried that Series 1 might be in limited supply now. So over the weekend we got Boba Fett, Darth Maul, and Darth Vader. Oh, and C-3PO. SIX of these guys now. I wasn't even going to buy any.
We also got a new bookshelf so we can display them in the living room.
On the plus side the Marvel ones will be an easy sell now.

Ones I'd like to get from this set:
Jango Fett
Lando (maybe, it's hard to pass up a black man with such a nice smile )
Clone Trooper (cody?)
Yoda (is he smaller than everyone else? Or is it just the picture.)
Grievous
Luke (maybe, this one looks pretty cool)
Leia (maybe....her buns look cool. )
I just don't like the Emperor at all.

This Bespin Luke is also a million times better than the wave 2 Luke. Every Luke figure needs to be shipped with a black eye. Teach him to be such a whiner.

I know someone posted about the Marvel Muggs a while ago, with a wave that had Wolverine, Venom, and a couple others...is that still the first wave, or are these ones coming out first now? Any word on release dates?

Edit: I had also heard by word of mouth,that the Marvel ones were gonna have the standard sizes,plus a bigger version/mold of the figure!

They also had a few of the new Star Wars ones in.
We ended up walking out of there with Spider-Man, Venom, Wolverine, Iron Man, and Lando.

Well surprise surprise. Stopped through the toy department at Wal-Mart today looking for Dragon Magic eggs and ended up leaving with a Mighty Muggs Chewbacca. Wasn't me, it was the wife, i swear.
He IS pretty cool though... Although his heavy head leaves him a bit more unbalanced than i'd like for a figure that's so symmetrical. And what is up with that square peghole in his foot? They're never gonna use that! These things should come with stands.

I agree with you on that, URS. Mighty Muggs may or not have vertigo and that might just be a butt buster for people who like their guys to stand up. When I like for them to stand up, I make sure that they stand up during RPG Dice Roll Battle time. Otherwise, if they don't stand up, they could at least float in the air.That's odd. My two don't have any balancing trouble. Maybe your Chewbacca has vertigo.
I hardly have any room left for bigger guys anymore and sometimes I don't know where to put them.So I go in and go straight to the toys. I start looking through the basic figs, and to my amazement they had a bunch of new stock! I was really only looking for concepts and the 30th Boba Fett Comic 2pack, and they had like 5 of them! YAY!! I could now finish my 30th ann Boba Collection! I was also about to pick up the Cool Trooper Comic pack that looked Hella Awesome, but I looked down, and low and behold! MIGHTY MUGGS!!!

So I found me a buggy, and sadly put back the trooper pack.
Now that I about how big these guy are, I just figured that I wasn't going to buy any of these guys, anyway. There's way too much going on for me with the smaller guys.
