My hope had been to find Star Wars items in the US that were (1) unavailable back in New Zealand, and (2) easy to transport back. Yesterday I stumbled across an item that easily fit both of these criteria.
Super Target is currently selling Order 66 Game Packs from the Star Wars Pocketmodel TCG at a ridiculous $0.99US ($1.22NZ) each. These packs were released back in 2008, so I can only assume that this is a way to clear out old stock. Each pack contains four to eight styrene pocketmodel vehicles, six game cards, and two micro-dice. The models themselves are surprisingly robust and very cleverly designed. I bought four packs for starters, and was so impressed with the quality that I went back today and bought another six packs. This should give me most of the vehicles and cards from the series.
