So I was grocery shopping tonight at Walmart and they had a display out for the Last Jedi that was pretty much full of all the new movie merchandise. I have a friend who works there and he was telling me how they didn't even do any kind of midnight event or anything, they just set the display up on Friday and stocked it as they would any of the other display caps. I was able to get all 4 figures I had pre-ordered with Amazon and was then able to cancel the Amazon orders plus I got the benefit of comparing figures and finding ones that didn't have bad paint apps (not that many did but small things here or there that were not done right on a few of them). I'm gonna hold off on opening any of them though since it is now September which means I like to hoard all of my hauls up until the end of the month for a birthday super haul. I also grabbed myself a Porg pop because they only had the one left and I found it appealing in person since unlike most every other pop the eyes actually work for the Porg.
I'm a little surprised that the repack of Darth Vader was the most common figure but then I suppose that most people who really wanted him just got the Legacy pack. The new vehicle sets seem alright but I don't like how the Luke's head looks in the landspeeder pack and then I don't care about Rey's popsicle speeder thing. I also looked at the centerpiece diorama figurine pieces and while I think that the concept of those and display value are pretty cool I definitely don't think they're $50 cool.
