Anyone else excited for Force Friday?

[Werewolf]

I'm not going at midnight mind you. But I am SO hitting some stores this Friday. So excited. The toys look great and most stores are going to have large SW sections. Fun times ahead for SW fans. SW hasn't had this level of mainstream excitement and enthusiasm since 77.

The Target commercial is so much fun.

I'm a little excited, but I'm super curious to see everything. I'll probably go at midnight just to see.

[Iron Mego]

Pretty darn cool.

[LordMudd]

Have no interest in SW merchandise, but I am wondering if anything else will be discounted to take advantage of the extra flow of people?



CCC.

I was at Walmart yesterday and my daughter found a hot wheels of the new Milenium Falcon design of the new movie, so we put it in our cart. At check out the scan came up with a warning that the item could not be sold to the customer, so we had to leave it with the cashier. Glad my daughter is twelve and can handle such things. The "why was it on the shelf then?" complaint from me was not all that strong, but I found it a bit silly that they couldn't sell me a toy for my child because of a prescribed debut date for the toy.

I should be, but I'm not.

I don't like spoilers.

I don't have the space for more.

I don't know if I'll like the movie.

I don't groove on modern toys.

Nope...in the process of selling most of my STAR WARS stuff.....have lost a ton of interest ...plus the movie lOoKs ..uhhh...well will see !

No Target within 90 miles of me = no worries.

We don't have Target stores at all.
And we don't get much SW merchandise here anyway.
Seems like they never forgot the whole Phantom Menace disaster, when they were left with tons of unwanted figures.
On top of that, it's $18 for a small figure, so I'm not even getting started collecting again...

I just want a couple of decent 1/6 scale figures to celebrate "New Star Wars", and that's it.

[Werewolf]

Little disappointed not more people here are as excited as me.

I've never had a problem with spoilers. I think the trailers look great. I'm loving the Kenner vibe of the toys. There hasn't been such a genuine positive excitement for SW since I was a child. This is probably the last big hurrah for SW ( at least the classic trilogy characters) in my lifetime. So I am darn well going to enjoy it.

I may go in Friday just to see what they have. The only thing from star wars I collect is the 12 inch figures. If there are any out on the shelves I might be tempted.

I am sincerely, truly happy for everyone who is excited. I don't wish to be a debbie downer. It's just for me, the connection to nostalgia is what fuels my desire to own merchandise. I know if I took the plunge, there'd be no stopping me, and I'd have piles and piles of toys that I don't truly love, that I can't display. (Besides, I've got a WGSH collection I need to build!)

So, please, don't let me ruing your vibe. Have fun!!!! I think it'll be great. But I want to see as little as possible until the I get to see the film.

I did the midnight deal for Phantom Menace at TRU. I was actually they first person inside but everyone started running and shoving and screaming so I stepped to the sie a bit to let the yahoos do their thing. I was only there for the 12" figures so I spotted them, grabbed them and checked out while the line was still pouring in and scavengers were tearing through bins like World War Z.

[Hedji]

I ended up selling off everything I ever bought at the several midnight madnesses I attended. They were good times, but my collecting focus always changes.

It falls on my birthday so at some point on Friday I'll hit the local stores to see what's what. Some of the figures look good. I kind of like the idea of buying new SW figures on my birthday. Plus, I've been collecting Star Wars figures since 1978 so at this point I think I'm legally obligated to buy some for this movie as well.
