Oh, the utter irony of it all.

*I* was the guy who couldn't seem to get Ogre minis.

Galoob has a weird distribution system for their packs. Some stores are
filthy rich with stormtroopers. Others will be Ewok heavy.

In Madison, at the moment, Toys-R-Us are massively heavy on
Stormtroopers.
WallMart seems to have all the new stuff (Rebel fleet troops, Imperial
fleet troops and Sand People).

Check every store around you. Another good bet is to check stores
outside
of your city whenever you get a chance. And BUY the figures you need as
soon as you see them.

This goes for MicroMachines that can be used for Full Thrust as well, of
course.
