Longtime Rebelscum reader Alex Newborn writes in with his latest find:
"Hey Dan,
I went to the Wal-Mart in Muscle Shoals, AL last night and noticed that some of their newest Star Wars figures were priced $3.75.
It's pretty rare to see figures with a sticker on them, so the red and white sticker caught my eye. I scanned two of the first ones I saw, a BARC Trooper and a blue-striped Clone Trooper, and they were still over $7. I assumed someone had been having fun with a sticker gun at Wal-Mart's expense, when the next couple of figures that I scanned actually did show up as $3.75.
And not older ones, but some that just hit shelves here in February. The Tatooine Wave, BD's No. 30 through 37, inclusive: Han as Stormtrooper, Luke as Stormtrooper, Spacetrooper (not to be confused with the Clone Wars Spacetrooper), Jawa and WED Treadwell, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Pons Limbic, Wioslea, and Trinto Duaba/Dice Ibegon.
In addition, I also found BD No. 2 Luke Skywalker (sandstorm), BD No. 6 Yarna d'al Gargan, BD No. 24 Commander Faie, and BD No. 29 Clone Trooper (327th Star Corps) at this lower price.
I'm attaching a photo of the figures with the stickers, and a scan of one of the receipts. (This was my cash receipt, I used a credit card for others.)

Great score, Alex...thanks for the report!
