True... I ran into that back when I collected the POTF action figures. Two
days after shelling out $25 for a Leia, $12 for a Chewbacca and $8 for an
R2-D2 at a local comic shop, I found them all at a Walmart for $5ea. That's
when I learned to check ALL the Walmarts and KMarts and Targets etc *before*
going to any comic shops.

I very rarely come across clearances myself. When I do usually the good
stuff is already taken. I've now seen the 2001 SW sets in several different
stores, and hopefully by next month they'll be prolific enough that I can
begin amassing a collection of AT-STs and TIEs.
I have at least seen a copy of every new SW set, and the only ones I don't
have are Watto's Junkyard, Technic 3PO, and Technic Stormy. I have 4 BDCs,
and 1 ea of the others.
I'm going to buy 15 more BDCs (over the course of a couple months) so that I
can have a good sized army of Battle Droids. I'm also going to get about 5
more AT-STs (or more.) I seriously hope that TLG comes out with a set with
3 or more Stormtroopers for <$15 otherwise I'm going to go broke buying
TIEs... I want an army of at least 50 Stormtroopers, though I'd like to have
quite a few more... at retail price that's $1000.00 in TIE Fighters... not
including tax. (As well as 50 TIE pilots, I only want about 5 of those.)
