I found a couple new store exclusives for my continuing, growing collection of Star Wars items. One item was a Target Exclusive the Demise of General Grievous figure, another was a Target Exclusive battle pack titled the Skirmish at the Senate. The week before I picked up at an out of town Target 5 Vintage Saga figures that are in part a promotion where you send away your proof of purchase to receive an Exlusive George Lucas Stormtroope figure. I haven't mailed away anything yet, and am deciding if I want to keep the figures or not.

After the latest items I acquired off eBay, my collection is merely 2 pieces away from reaching the end. The latest items are the ARC-170 Starfighter and the Anakin #2 packaging variation.

Today I found the 5 vintage Saga figures that are tied into a promotion where you mail away your proof of purchase to get an exclusive George Lucas stormtrooper figure. I paid a steep $11.99 for each, and had to buy 2 of each, due to the fact that if I wanted to save one of each sealed for my collection I would need to because in order to get the special mail-in figure you have to open each of the 5 figures and remove a certificate found within it. Geeez. I'm debating if I'm going all-in on this promotion of not.
