my B&N dumped all the xwing stuff they carried in a big sale to clear it out and of course i missed the sale but it was from what the guy told me like half off or more on what they had.... and now they don't carry it any more which stinks cause they like 5 minutes from my house[/quote

That stinks!! Most of my Barnes & Noble's are still in the Stone Age, no wave 9. But I can't complain because at least they have them.

My local Barnes and Noble does not keep their stock up to date. They don't even have ARC-170s yet.

I live in a fairly major city with a bunch of B&N stores. One by where I work has been relatively good about keeping up with the new releases. I've purchased ARC-170's there and tonight picked up the last TIE Striker. I like the fact that their web site will let me check stock and even reserve something so they make sure it's in stock before I drive across town...
