I noticed today that Target had the SWM boosters extremely cheap. I picked up 6 Force Unleashed boosters and 2 Imperial Entanglements. It cost a total of $82.48. I've bought SWM once or twice before and the rarity scheme seemed horrible. Does anyone know what the breakdown is? How many rare and Ultra Rare figs per 10 boosters or whatever.
I managed to pull the following:
-Ultra Rares:
Darth Vader, Vader's Apprentice, Emperor Palpatine on Throne, Leia Bounty Hunter
-Rares:
Uggernaut,Admiral Ozzel,Garm Bel Iblis, Princess Leia of Cloud City, Master Kota
So I got 9 Rare/Ultra Rare out of 8 boosters. The Uggernaut was a giant and came with an Ultra rare. Did they change it up so you're guaranteed a Rare/Ultra Rare in each booster?
Sorry this isn't clix related. Any Star Wars fans out there, I can get boosters 50% off. Around $7-10 depending on set. There was 5 sets represented. I bought all the Unleashed.

I've never played the SWM game but saw these at my local targets to and almost decided to buy a pack or two of the force unleashed just cause I loved the game and wouldn't mind having a rankor or two.

Do all of those packs come with a Giant character and a few other figs? or is it just the larger characters? or just the smaller characters?

I got a large and 6 smaller in eacxh booster. I didn't get a Rankor. I got 2 Golan Cannons, an Uggernaut, a Rebel Troop Carrier, a Tie Crawler, and a Junk Golem. A Rancor would've been cool just because he's the most expensive.

It's similar to Heroclix in rarity.
Each booster will have 4 commons, 2 uncommons, and a rare. One out of 3 boosters will have a very rare. I don't know the rarity of the Huge (giant) characters. The "common" Huges were classified as uncommons, with some rares and and very rares being less common. From a rarity standpoint, you pulled very well just by getting 4 VR in 8 boosters. Although Kota is a rare, his price is up there with some of the VR pieces. Uggernaut is a good pull as well.

Also, if you buy any more and really want a Rancor, get the heaviest booster. It is much heavier than the other boosters and is easy to cherry pick. It feels like a 12oz can of soda. Be warned though; it is easy to get Tie Crawlers instead. If there are several heavy boosters and you aren't sure, it is probably a Tie Crawler or Junk Golem. The Rancor is significantly heavier and obvious (that's how I pulled mine). It took me at least 12 trips to 5 different Targets to finally get one since it is a VR figure.

The 50% of at Target and some other stores has been going on since at least July.

I bought 4 more boosters. 1 Unleashed and 3 Imperial Entanglements.
I got:
VR:
Emperor Palpatine(again), Luke Skywalker Rebel Commander
R:
Vader's Apprentice Redeemed, Lobot Commander, Uggernaut
The Uggernaut came with a Vader's Apprentice both times. I'll try that Rancor idea at the next Target I hit. I've done well so far. I remember when the 2 packs came out and my brother and I both swore they came with a VR or R and Common. Everyone thought we were nuts but we went 7 for 7 at Target.
