I know some of the members of this forum collect all things Star Wars so here is a heads-up. The August TM flyer, which I believe advertises specials to be put out tomorrow morning, lists die-cast "Titanium" Star Wars figures ($6.99) and vehicles ($9.99). You can see images from the circular if you go to the TM website.

Stopped in my local TM today and I was surprised to see a large selection of the Titanium Starwars figures/vehicles along with an odd BSG Titanium Galactica..

I could it see it now....eBay will be flooded with these thingies!

Just picked up a Galactica, plus an AT-AT and a Snowspeeder.

They also had a lot of Milenium Falcons, Slave1's and Tri fighters, plus a small selection of figures. No BSG figures though.

Old Crow and all others -

THANKS for the huge "heads-up" on these things - ESPECIALLY the Galactica find!. As soon as I read this thread, I let the receptionist know that I was going out of the office and I'd be back within an hour.


I picked up a Tie fighter and the Galactica.

I had only seen that Galactica ONCE in a Target when they were first released (for $20) - then occasionally on Ebay for very high prices. I had regreted not picking that one up at-that-time, ever since. Honestly I was just thinking about that particular model this last week, when I started the discussion post "Diecast regrets..." There IS Karma and a Diecast God

Thanks again for the "heads-up"/recon - MUCH appreciated!

Congrats to you, DADoser! I too went out during my lunch hour to pick up the Galactica. I almost got Vader's Advanced TIE Starfighter but the mom w/her 8 yr. old son had first dibbs on
that thing. I also got some of the figurines 3PO, Blue-striped Clone Trooper, Classic Sandtrooper and General Grevious. I left the rest and they had the Millen Falcon, Boba's SLAVE I and some
other SW ships I can't recall the names at the moment. The BSG ship is awesome and pretty heavy too!

Well done DA. I to have only enver seen the big Galactica once before.

I have no idea why thay are doing a clearance like this as I've been patroling my local Targte, etc for a long time for these. Doesn't make a lot of sense when they seem to have plenty available.

Stopped at 2 different TMs on the way home from work.....

Added an AT AT to today's score. (only one I've seen at 4 different stores.)

Galactica's at 3 of the 4 stores - evidently its not the Woodridge Phantom of the last Corgi "dump."

One of the stores had only one ship (and a bunch of empty shelf) on an end cap in the back of the store. Hit by an Ebay entrepreneur, perhaps???????

These are long gone from the TM's in the Phoenix metro area.

However, this weekend I was in St. Loius/Southern IL and stopped in a TM in O Fallon, IL - just off I-64 and on old rt. 50 -(hoping to find some long lost Corgi that had been overlooked) and found/bought an ARC 170. I had not seen this ship at ANY TM when these things hit. They also had an AT-AT which I picked up for a friend.

It looked like they had almost EVERY item - ships and figures - that they got for the original flyer date 3 weeks ago. They were still on an end cap with the flyer sale/sign posted.

No Corgi aircraft however.
