Fast forward a few years, and you will probably be finding them at deals like 2 for 5 dollars at swap meets and toy shows by people who went all in. This is especially true if the new movie turns out to be a dud.

Having remembered how much of a craze the toys for Episode 1 generated, as well as how disappointing the film actually was, I know I will be holding off this time around, if anything grabbing a new stormtrooper or two and maybe a Captain Phasma or Kylo Wren. After that, I will probably be holding tight until the movie comes out so I don't suffer from the buyer's remorse I did the first time around. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...shame on me.

I will also only be buying lightly in case the movie disappoints. I don't care about future value I just don't want a bunch of toys from
a bad movie. Chewbacca and the first order Stormtrooper are the only two I'll get before the movie, maybe Phasma too if they reveal her. I am still super skeptical about the movie itself that way if it's bad I won't be too let down but if it's good I'll be pleasantly surprised, I can't handle another Phantom Menace level drop. Having said that I get fairly optimistic when new behind the scenes stuff gets shown for this one. I am worried about Disney's desire to pump out spin-offs because it could take away the special quality of a new Star Wars movie coming out. For comparison when Iron Man came I was blown away with anticipation and excitement, now Marvel movies come out like clockwork with two a year and soon it'll be three. I still look forward to them but it is a very different kind of anticipation.
