    I was in a Target and Toys R Us this morning around 11 am; their shelves were empty. Obviously picked over, and there was not much left.

      I went to a TRU in the Portland area at midnight but didn't buy anything. They had a lot of cos-players outside to entertain the line. I'd guess there were about 100 people waiting to get in.

        Even though I like Star Wars (sans the prequels), I'm not enough of a fan to buy toys. I'm really not into tiny action figures anyway, and Star Trek is more my thing. But Happy Happy Joy Joy to you guys (and gals) who are into it.

          I had the day off (hoorayyy!) so I took my daughter to Target. It was fun, but slightly picked over. I'm trying to stay away from spoilers, so I didn't study everything on the pegs, but we had fun looking. I'd like to pick up the app controlled BB8, but I'm waiting for it to go about 50% off. Anyway, Star Wars toys are always fun, even if these may look a liiiitttle bit cheap. It's all good.



          And here is my Force Friday purchase:

            It's almost kind of funny, but my Rey figure has discoloration on her chin......Is this some kind of variation? Anyone else get this? She looks like a bearded lady in a circus sideshow........

              I went to Meijer just after midnight. There were around 25 people, and it was pretty casual. I got the lightsaber I was after. I then swung by TRU by 12:45, and it was just me and one other guy. Didn't get anything. I've also checked out TGT & WMT - nothing special. I like the high-end stuff, but am not willing to pay for it.

                I took the kids to Target last night and they were super excited. My oldest got a Lego Jango Fett figure and a Mashups General Grevious. My youngest was thrilled to find a 12 inch Kylon Ren as he loves the current run of figures in this style (s*** it grumpy old collectors).

                They had some of their older Lego sets on clearance for half off so I picked up a couple. We had a fun night.

                  Well, I caved and ordered the Sphero, BB-8 from Bed Bath and Beyond late last night. Looks too amazing to pass up.

                    I think they are cool as well and really nice figures for the money. Just ordered the new Stormtrooper and I am definitely getting Chewie when I see one.
                    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                      I went to Wal-Mart midnight Force Friday got 4" Kylo and Black 6" Kylo, Stormtrooper, and the girl w/BB-8! Only like 10 people there but everybody was after 4". I wanted 6"!

                      Then at 8 AM Force Friday I went to Target where I work when they opened and Target had a great deal where you can download coupons on your iPhones and get $25 OFF if you spend $100 or more on NEW Star Wars and $10 OFF $50 or more! I have a 15% Target employee discount and I got Jakks 31" Kylo and Stormtrooper for $35 each and Hasbro 12' Kylo and Stormtrooper for $10 each and a Star Wars t-shirt for $12. This all came to only $68 after $25 OFF and my 15% discount!

                      I am anxious to see Force Awakens Luke, Leia, and Han figures!

                        Bed Bath and Beyond sells it?

                        Did you get the app or that remote controlled one?

                          Yes, was the only place I could find it in stock. Sold out now. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/stor...skuId=44597504

                          I wouldn't suggest anyone buy the RC version after watching a video on youtube. Looks like crap and the heads falls off easy.

                            Just got the 12 inch Kylo Ren at Kohls. Not much stuff there. But they did have some of the 12 inch Hasbro figures and 18 inch Jakks figures.

                              Target and Wal-Mart I visited yesterday were picked through as expected, but still saw some neat stuff. Target has some nice kid and adult costumes, for instance.

                                Pretty much only micro-machines left at Target today. Can't believe they're bringing those back!
