Hi Paul,

So I have two reports, which basically echo what some other people have been noticing….

First off, I finally saw my first prototype Boba Fett last week in one of the Walgreens here in Clearwater, FL. He was the lone figure in that store, so I snatched him up. Prior to this find, I had been scouring nearly a dozen different stores over the past two weeks in the Tampa Bay area, and had found nothing. Then yesterday, I happened by another Walgreens in Pinellas Park, FL over my lunch break. Went into the toy aisle, and nothing, not even on the end caps. So as I was walking through the checkout area on my way out, BINGO, noticed three figures on a shelf by the gum/candy/snacks of all places….right next to the register. It seemed rather odd that they would be there, but I was glad I found them. They had a prototype Boba, a Jedi Luke, and Chewbacca. I snatched up the Chewbacca and bought him, but left the other two. So the first attachment is the picture of Boba (from last week) and Chewbacca.

Later on yesterday evening, I made it by the Barnes and Noble in Clearwater to check out their Star Wars section. It was the usual assortment of Hans and Greedos, but I did take notice of the fact they had a Jabba. About a month ago, I was on a two day long hunt to several Target stores looking for one (finally did find one at a Tampa Target), but found it interesting that Barnes and Noble would have one. Not sure how long he has been there, or how many they have had at that store, but it almost seemed too easy. Anyway, the second picture is of that.

Thanks!

Will
