Target truly sucks on the preorder front.
The falcon is cool, but I have the 2008 release. This would be cool, but $400 cool? And man the space, I don’t think I can fit a second behemoth in my collection. |

Not even a chance for pre-order. I went to target as soon as I found out about them and "pre-order sold out" is all I found.

Is that falcon the same one from the legacy collection? I've been waiting for them to re-release it for years. Since they are labeling it as a Smuggler's run falcon, I would expect they will release a non-exclusive version with different branding in the future. Target exclusivity is just too narrow for distribution of the flagship star wars vehicle.

"The STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES 6-INCH CAPTAIN CARDINAL Figure is detailed to look like the CAPTAIN CARDINAL character inspired by the STAR WARS GALAXY’S EDGE theme park, featuring premium detail and multiple points of articulation. "
What's that even mean? Cardinal is a character from the Phasma novel that came out a few years back. |

I was hoping this was going to be actual items from Galaxy’s Edge and not items inspired by it. There are a few of the legacy lightsabers that I really want.

I want that Falcon and if it was $150 like the original I'd jump on it. At $400 they can keep it

^ Maybe it will make it to clearance. I bought the BB8 playset for 30 dollars... not sure how much the original cost was. I honestly can't imagine too many people rushing out to buy it nowadays at that pricepoint. I also kinda want one too though. I remember passing on the OG one at TRU on sale for $80... I had way less money to play around with at the time though.

I’m kind of shocked no OT was offered. If I had the space, I’d get this but I really don’t have room for a second one. Now a solo version, I’d find space. Plus the haslab Star Wars item is due in August. |

This right here is what makes the $400 Price Tag asinine. Aside from a new radar dish all the R&D and Tooling is paid for.

Totally. With the original, they were obviously intending for it to be bought by parents for their kids as well as adult collectors. Now they know they are selling 100% to collectors so they jack the price up to ridiculous levels. Timing isn't great either since SWVC has a haslab coming out in august (I think?) and I'm already in on the ML sentinel.

This Falcon also has the removable escape pod.
This is just like all the stuff in Galaxy’s Edge where you’re locked in and have to buy your $400 BMF to feel like you bought something on vacation. Then you have to walk around the airport with it. |

What's that even mean? Cardinal is a character from the Phasma novel that came out a few years back. From wookiepedia: Galaxy's Edge: Black Spire is a canon novel written by Delilah S. Dawson. It is part of the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge media project, and it was first published on August 27, 2019 by Del Rey. An audiobook version was also released. Set after Dawson's previous Star Wars novel, Phasma, Galaxy's Edge: Black Spire begins during the events of the film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. The rest of the story is set four months later, between Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi and Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, and prior to the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge theme park experience |
