Force Friday or Rogue Friday a bust!
 

Anyone having any luck? Hit TRU tonight and scored the Tshirt and poster but they only put out one case of the Exclusive Black Series Hovertank Pilot figure and one case of last years exclusive Snowtrooper. No other new product. Local Walmarts and Target did not participate and had nothing on shelves. Would love to see some product anyone else scored.

Mine went down pretty well. They had a good number of cases for the new Rogue one Black Series stuff though only one case for the Pilot. Luckily being second in line I secured the Hovertank Pilot. Other than that I got everything else I wanted.

The only thing I'm waiting for is the Han Solo Figuart to go up for preorder on AmiAmi. It is taking forever to get to 1am so I can order it already, then I need to go to bed and hope I can fall asleep right away since I have to be up at 6:45 for work.

From the looks of it, my local TRU only had a single case of the Hovertank Pilot (unless the guys ahead of me in line were hoarding them), but I got lucky and scored one.
Oddly, I didn't see the silver TRU "exclusive" sticker on the boxes of any of the Hovertrooper Pilots I saw.
But anyways, aside from the exclusive Trooper and the Death Trooper it seemed as if everyone was largely avoiding the 6" series.
There were still plenty on the pegs as I was leaving.

I hit up two Wal-Marts after leaving TRU, and while one only had the 3 3/4" figures and vehicles, the other had dozens of the new 6" Black Series.
I may go back in the morning for a Death Trooper or two, since I'm assuming that the Death Troopers are going to be the first to sell out and will eventually be the toughest to find.

I got Han with ease. It took less than a minute. I then went to bed so I could try to get close to 5-5.5 hours of sleep.

I still see no reason to spend $50 on a ST when Hasbro's aresuperior and cost less than half the price.

Drove to Walmart about 20min from where I'm staying for vacation at 12am. Nothing! Went to another found an unstocked case open sitting on the shelf missing you know who.....straight bullshit!

With TFA I waited to the next day,and they had huge displays,cases of figures! One case per store if you're lucky is some bull!

Lego Shop was an absolute disaster, and totally screwed up.

The Target that I went to this morning only had a handful of Pops, and I only walked out with the common Vader.

They also had a couple of cases of the new Black Series wave and I picked up one Death Trooper.

I also picked up the Target exclusive Death Trooper Pop shirt.

After all of that, I realized that I forgot to use the Star Wars coupon, and I opened half the stuff I bought at Target.

Overall, pretty shi**y way to start the work day.

Mine was great, sad to say now that everyone else had such a craptastic time.
I got exactly what I went after. Target at 8AM- they were nice and there were only two other single people and a small family there.
Not pictured are the vader/stormtrooper & Poe black leader/new order tie fighter titainium helmets.

They were SOOO much nicer at Target than Walmart.

Walmart this morning,super nice employees. Had a lot of fun.

I saw a ton of Jyn Erso 6" at Walmart today, so maybe it will just peg warm like Finn did.

After having had the Kmart exclusive Jyn for a little while and being able to compare now, the Kmart face looks a bit better imo. The hat hair isn't anything to brag about but at least the face is a bit better.

Probably picked up and put down Kylo enough times to have the store employees second guessing my sanity, but ultimately passed on it as I have plenty of time to get him.

Walked away with one of the last two Death Troopers and a K2S0. Feeling pretty good about it.

Man, you guys did well. I'm envious.

Canadian retail had diddley squat in-store and online. Even Amazon seemed to have nothing. All the listings for things I want seem to be hijacked by cross-border scalpers, and I've taken enough cross-border shipping and duty hits to the chin already for 2016.

Oh, well. Money saved.

All I wanted was the Hover Tank or Walmart exclusive Trooper for the Black Series, and this is what I saw last night. Yet another Zuvio party, some of which looked case fresh...

Yep...my TRU didn't even get a case of either the Exclusive, or the regular BS figures. My local Walmarts received NO cases of the basic 3.75" figures, but they did get a huge shipper full of even more of those Micro Machines for Rogue 1 that peg warmed hard when The Force Awakens came out, along with 8000 new lightsabers, and the few Black Series figures in that shipper were picked clean of any sort of Troopers, so I don't even know if they received the Walmart Exclusives for the film. Was pretty much a sad and sick joke.

I did manage to grab Jyn and unmasked Kylo from Walmart, and a Sabine from TRU, so it wasn't a total wash, but again, the two Trooper exclusives were the top priorities on my list, and neither were to be found anywhere.

After snagging the Hovertank Pilot and 3 3/4" Black Series Ahsoka last night, and then heading back out again this morning to grab some Death Troopers and a couple 3 3/4" Imperial Guards, I was pretty excited about my finds.

But then, as I was preparing to call it a day, I finally spotted my first 6" Ahsoka Tano. I was actually preparing to buy one from Ebay tonight before I stumbled into her while hunting.
So overall, I had a pretty good Force/Rogue Friday, last night at the midnight releases and then again today while hitting up the stores that weren't open last night.

I hope it's not a breach of etiquette to post pics that I just posted in the "Look What I Just Got" thread, and if it is, I apologize, but here are my Force/Rogue Friday pick-ups :

Edit:
Oh yeah, I would have picked up the new Sabine Wren figure too, but I lucked out and found her much earlier at a grocery store that clearly didn't care about the street date :)

In my area (southern Maine) I only went to TRU (South Portland) at midday, where an employee said maybe a dozen people showed up for the midnight open, and later in the evening after work I visited 1 Target of the 3 I can easily get to, and 1 of the four Walmarts (both in Biddeford). Walmart was barren of new goods, best I could tell, other than 1 set of new 4" Black series (Ackbar, Lando, Ahsoka). Target was okay stocked. TRU was overflowing, I think they expected more turnout than they said.
I had already ordered Sabine & Kanan-as-stormtrooper online at Target.com, but bought again at TRU since I was there -- I'll compare paint and keep whichever's better. My interest in toys from both Force Awakens and Rogue One is low, tho I did get 2 TFA stormtroopers and may get the new Rogue One version with the blow-off chest.

Wal Mart here had jack shit nothing my local Meijer too. Taraget didnt open or do anything. I got all of the single carded 3 3/4 next day at Target but all they had for black series was Rey and Unmasked Kylo Ren.

Same here, the assholes put out the Force Friday stuff last Monday, then won't sell it because they said the computer tells them it's been recalled. Then they don't put out anything on Friday when they obviously were sent a shipment. There's a reason they work @ Walmart.

What pisses me off is all the Wal Mart exclusive 3.75 Black Series figures on Ebay at elevated prices when my Wal Mart has pegs clogged with the Force Awakens 3.75 Black Series and not even one damn Captain Phasma among them.

That's when you pull out the angry customer persona and tell them they are required to sell you products that were on the shelf. It's Walmart, the retail chain equivalent of the short bus, they have no rights when it comes to denying customers products.
