Stopped by the 5 Below in my area (upstate NY) and they had Klatuu, Wedge (which I'll point out is on his original Vintage card with the ROTJ wave on the back), and a bunch of Zam's and Padme's. At $5 per figure, it's a great deal!
I know the Vintage Collection prequel figures don't seem to be very popular, but I can personally highly recommend the Qui-Gon Jinn figure from this line. He almost looks like he's grimacing a little, as if he's gritting his teeth. (lol) The only other problem I might have is his skin looks a little pasty, but otherwise he sports a really nice paint-job and sculpt. He holds his lightsaber really well with both hands, and he stands very well on his own, even with his thick Jedi robes. It's really a great figure.
As for some collectors not having a Five Below store near them...I've never even heard of it, but I love discount stores. It reminds me though...I was out-and-about with my wife earlier this evening, and we found a brand-new Costco store near us that we didn't know was coming. I was estatic. I've read on here for years about how some of you guys are always finding exclusives at Costco stores, and I was always bummed-out because we didn't have one near us. Well, now we do. So nyah. (lol)
I would be so down for those except the prequal figures. No 5 below in cali. They have 3 figures listed on their site, darth vader, anakin (aotc), and sandtrooper.
No kidding.
We don't have that store here
