Picked up Black Series 6 inch Finn,Kylo Ren,Stormtrooper,Chewbacca,Poe Dameron,Guavian Enforcer,Constable Zuvio. Hit up two stores after work.
I passed on a Rey with a badly painted face. Didn't see the others I am missing. Constable Zuvio or the Guavian Enforcer are my early favorites. I feel as if I missed out on a lot of stuff, as I didn't see the rumored TRU exclusive 6" Black Series Blue Stormtrooper, or any Wave 2 figures, but I've been hearing whispers and rumors among the online collecting communities that they were out there. Great finds ! I'm quite envious !

Well I just got back from trying Force Friday and got jack shit to show for it. I was the 50th person in line at my TRU and only the first 20 people in line got anything, I could tell by the fourth person that every 6 inch figure was gone. They had a "no more than 3 of any given item" rule, but they only opened two boxes of the 6 inch figures so the first three people pretty much took everything. Then I went to Wal-Mart hoping to find something, nope. Just a fairly small cardboard display which looks like it could have only held one box of the 6 inch figures. Good news: I snagged Chewbacca on Amazon for only $18 prime, but literally the only 6 inch figures they're even selling are Chewbacca, Kylo Ren, and Finn. Kylo already sold out. As a weak bonus I got a free mini poster of Kylo Ren from TRU with some Lego thing and a free cupcake from Wal-Mart, yay (that was sarcastic).
Update: I literally just checked Amazon again and they just added a single Stormtrooper listing new so I snagged one super fast, so now I've ordered the two that I wanted and saved a little on both. I'm not changing how I felt about the in-person experience, but I am a little less pissed at Hasbro now since my buddy Amazon has my back. Also, damn the 3.75" figures! Some of them look cool and they have play value but they are literally the only thing not selling at either store I checked, both stores had zero 6" toys but damn near a hundred of those little monsters! I was lucky enough to snag Kylo Ren there, but there were only a few cases on the 6" Black Series available. A LOT of people left angry and empty-handed.

Here's a full shot of the poster that TRU gave me and the little Lego thing for Force Friday.
I looked through the baggie and on the back the Lego thing says "presented by Toys R Us" and it has the date so that's neat I guess. My Amazon ordered Chewbacca will get to me on Saturday (yay prime!) but then the Stormtrooper won't get to me until Wednesday (what the hell happened to 2 days prime?).

Yeah, the TRU in my area was a madhouse. I should have skipped TRU, but I was still holding on to hope that they would have the rumored Blue Stormtrooper exclusive.

TRU and Target did not have any 6" last night, not even a space for them. Luckily Walmart had several cases. I never made it to the previous midnight madness events, so I was hoping this would be a little crazy. I went to all three stores because they are so close together here, but it was quiet all around. Two or three other people quietly picking items out.

I picked my stuff up at Meijer. It was also a quiet affair here. But, the weather was pretty bad last night.
Any pics of this Blue Trooper?

I still haven't seen any pics of it online, so I'm doubtful it was really available. He was on the Force Friday Checklist (the one composed by members of various SW collector sites), but the latest rumors are that he won't be showing up for another month or so.

I saw some dope @ Target today just standing there looking @ the SW line. He'd pick up a box, put it down, pick up another one, look @ that. Crap or get off the pot dude & if you're really having that much trouble parting with your $, maybe he should save it. |
