Ha, no.... I'm a smart father. I buy my kids lots of things, but I don't run out and blow a lot of money on things they only want temporarily and then they play with once or twice before sitting unwanted in a closet. If he still wants those toys around his birthday they will be worth buying and be a great deal. ~SS~

I like how you think SS! My Dad buys me cheap stuff, but a hella lotta cheap stuff ;D. My Dad doesn't buy lots of new stuff for us usaly, so I won't for my kids, it makes them anticipate going to the toy aisle alot more.

Jeremy, thanks for the info, I really appreciate it.
With regard to Unleashed, I was in no way looking to collecting the whole set. After Xevoz, I'm not going through that again, especially something at $15 a pop and that doesn't do anything. What I'm more interested in are some particular figs from the line that I just like. For the most part, while impressive, I don't even want most of the figures. The only two that I will be actively seeking right now are the Storm Trooper and the older Vader, although not the original. I just want these to open and display. And even so, if I don't find them, I can live without them. What I did get was the Clone Trooper, but the Clone Trooper Captain variant, which is very cool.
With regard to the smaller figures, I just bought a Blue Royal Guard. I would love to get my hands on a red one as well, just because the Royal Guard is one of my favorite characters in the whole Star Wars universe. If anyone knows where I can find one, I'd love to know.
And that's pretty much it for me...

I've seen a couple of reds. If you want I'll look and see if I can find one for you while I'm out and about, Ming. It's yours for cost and shipping.

I'm in the process of looking right now, but if you see one, let me know. If I haven't found one yet, then definitely.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention it before, but Jeremy mentioned Darth Tater. I did happen to get one. I walked into a KB one day, actually looking for Xevoz, and as I was on my way out, I decided to ask if they knew when Darth Tater was coming out. The clerk was like, "Oh, those just came in today" and pointed to a whole display of them...
I just couldn't say no...

Did you ever manage to get yourself a Darth Tater? I ask because I've been on a personal quest to find a red Royal Guard, General Grievous Unleashed, Storm Trooper Unleashed, and Darth Vader Unleashed (the repackaged one), and on my quest, I've actually encountered a lot of Darth Taters. So if anyone needs one, we could probably work something out.
Also, with regards to the small ROTS figs, which are the rarer ones? I know the royal guards are fairly rare, but what about the others? I've noticed pretty much everything else on the shelves, but some things I noticed are much more scarce than others.

I've been looking for the royal gaurds for you, but all of them have been snapped up (blue and red). I hear figures #33-#40 are hard to find. I've seen some clone commanders and clone pilots but they went fast. Darth Taters are reletively easy to find around here. I got my youngest son one and he likes it.
