"Hi, guys, I hadn't heard of Titanium Series Wave 3 being found yet, so I thought I'd send you a picture. I found the new wave as well as the first Titanium gift set at Wal-Mart in Hazleton, PA on Thursday. There were a ton of gift sets on the shelf for $19.97 and 2 side endcap shelf hangers labeled Titanium Series hanging up at the end of the Star Wars aisle with Titanium Wave 3 for $4.97.
No older vehicles were packed with the new ones and the ROTS vehicles were weighted slighter heavier in the assortment than the other movie vehicles. This is a smart move since all the classic trilogy vehicles from the last Titanium wave are still pegwarming at this store while all the ROTS ones are sold out. That's one reason I don't think Hasbro should be planning to release only 10-15% ROTS figures in the Saga assortments next year. ROTS is where the majority of consumer interest is right now and I doubt it will fade away that fast right after the DVD is released.

Thanks for the report Jones!
