Where you live and shop, are 'Tix selling pretty well, or do you seem to be the only one buying them?
I frequent about five stores semi-regularly that sell 'Tix, and I'm pretty sure they are selling pretty well at all of them. AT-RT's have been sold through for weeks, Boga's are holding on, but I suspect that more people buy more than one AT-RT, not so much of the Boga. Boosters seem to do real well everywhere. Starters are lingering in some places, not in others. Battle Cases haven't seem to catch on...yet, but I'm keeping an eye on them. Probably the biggest signal I have NOT seen yet is sales, I have yet to see any 'Tix products marked down, which would indicate to me that they are selling strong at full price still.

I my town the local walmart has never even had boosters. They had one boga and one at-rt months ago. I bought the at-rt and left the boga (im not a fan of boga for some reason). After a while boga was gone also. But I have yet to see a single booster in my local wal mart. I have to drive about a half hour away to get them. Good thing theres a wal-mart about every 20 miles around here.

I have to drive about a half hour away to get them. Heh, where I live, everything is a half hour away, so that's a non-issue for me. (An aside to Ohioans, I live in Swanton, which is on the outskirts of Toledo, but to say I live in Swanton isn't even accurate, I live South of Swanton, which is to say in the "country", nothing but state forests and parks and farms out my way. Sure, Kroger in town carries CCG's, but never any minis.)

Located here in Birmingham, AL and Attacktix sold very well at both Toys R Us and Walmart when they intially came out. I hadn't seen a booster pack until the other day at Target when I bought the Republic Gunship.

My local WalMart only had AT-RTs and Bogas, and those are all gone now. About 35 miles south of me are two other Super WalMarts, and they both were fully stocked. Around two months ago they clearanced out all their Attacktix. I missed one store, the other I got all they had for $4 (only seven boosters). Haven't seen anything around here since.

My local stores sell them well. When I started attacktix every store was sold out and it was hard to find them. The stores have restocked and the entire stock is gone within a couple of weeks, which is pretty good. I just know now to buy a lot of series 2 boosters the first thing, that way I find them now and don't have to hunt for them.

I have noticed some slowing. I can't find an extra At-Rt though. What seems to be moving the most slow is the battle case. I got one and if I didn't want the sergeant so bad I probably would not have gotten that either. It does not surprise me that the battle cases are not selling. -Radar

I wish we had battle cases littering out shelves here in Florida. None sited down here yet!
Everytime we go to the store there is a new stock of boosters out on the shelves though (and not the same ones! They are usually case fresh, gone the next time we go, then new ones a few days later).
I'm sure Radar that you will be able to get another AT-RT as soon as the gunships arrive in your area since they are packaged w/them. I suspect it will eventually be the Boga that becomes harder to find as the AT-RT continues to ship.

It does not surprise me that the battle cases are not selling. -Radar Where did you get this from? Every other observation would say these things are impossible to GET not impossible to sell. I've yet to see one on a shelf, without a big on eBay, or not sold out online!!

There are 6 or so at my local 'Toys We Be'.
Imagine that display shelf 'X' that was discussed in another thread. As you approach it you will see on one side- Batman Begins and Mutant Turtles on the other is Star Wars. This SW cluster-'f' of a shelf is overflowing with junk... Ep. 3 stuff, Galactic Heros, Force Battlers, some Attacktix Starters, even several year old Ep. 2 12 inch Geonosian Warriors!!... but that's not where they keep the Battle Cases, oh no!
You have to turn the corner for the 'left-over' or 'no-room' shelf. It's actually a Wrestling-and-leftover shelf. To one side they've thrown some battle cases and one of those booster dispensers. There are boosters scattered about and the dispenser kinda hides the Battle Cases. If I wasn't intently looking for Gunships I would've never known they even had Battle Cases!!!

thanks for the 'tip' sfx. Our TRU is also a mess so I will look diligently on our next trip.

There were originally 6 at my TRU, I bought one, someone bought another, then last week, back up to 6 on Monday, and still at 6 on Thursday... Dunno if it's because they're kinda hidden, or what.

They're peg warming in my area now. After the first and second shipment they we're hard to find. Now all the places by me are fully stocked. I just hope they move before series 2 comes out.

You asked about the battle cases. There are probably about 6 of them at my local Toys R Us in Azusa (So Cal.) -Radar
