Except virtually every store has been wiped out of action figures.
You do realize the top two most watched trailers of all time are the TFA teasers, right?

Went back out this morning to survey the damage. The figures are what seem to be selling the most around here and the 6" black series storm trooper is what appears to be going fastest, almost nowhere to be found. Lots of Kylo Ren though, I kind of figured he'd go fast too.
Action figures? They're dolls cheebo.
also LOL nobody bought a single box of Star Wars Monopoly
Check out the GAF X-Wing thread if you are interested. We keep on top of the new stuff, and have some interesting strategy discussions as well!
So you have a full stock of black series figures then eh?
And no they aren't dolls.
I notice you ignored the point about the record breaking teasers

I had no idea there was a new Star Wars Monopoly. I wouldn't have bought it though, I already have one.

Only thing I did for Force Friday was pre-ordering Aftermath... got it auto delivered to my Kindle and I'm going to start reading in a bit.
That BB-8 sphero looks amazing though... kind of want that.
Glad to see everyone having fun

I can die happy if I see them in the London Disney store in an hour.

what are you even doing in this thread?
After striking out at Barnes and Noble I went to the Apple Store and they had no idea what I was talking about. No awareness that new Star Wars stuff was coming in or anything. Was ready to go back to work having gone 0/2, empty handed and disappointed I didn't even get to lay my eyes on any new merchandise at all, so I turn around to leave and am greeted with this sight across the way:
Get closer and they have the Star Wars fanfare blasting, and they're playing The Force Awakens teasers on little portable projectors and everything. So of course I grabbed one dammit! I just got a raise, why the hell not?

This is inarguably an omen of ill portent indeed.

I picked up BB-8 from Best Buy this morning. I was the only person there and they actually went into the back to find one for me. Quick and easy!

I ordered a signed copy of Aftermath last week. Was surprised that B&N was selling signed copys

I thought you were joking at first, but obviously starved for attention and it's not cute. If you don't like something, why go into a thread and complain about it?
Bye.

Yeah, well... Monopoly.

He should learn from macuser, you say something that is subtle and don't run it into the ground.

Snagged the Millenium Falcon drone from Amazon this morning. Glad I did because it's sold out now.
Also went ahead and purchased BB8 for in-store pickup from Best Buy. Got the email confirmation that it's ready.
Pray for me, Gaf.

I initially thought so, too. But having it scoot around our office and watching it get into and out of small spaces is cute AF. Love it.
Works fine on low pile here. Will see how it goes on some of our rugs when I get it back home later.
You'd say they're apple or something.
best buys website says it comes w/ one...

I only managed to make it out of the store alive with a Black Series Finn figure. I wanted the Stormtrooper but the guy in front of me got the last one.

Huh? Apple's products come with power supplies, you're thinking Nintendo.
It most certainly does not, I emptied out the box. Comes with unit, inductive base, and cable, but no actual power supply.

It doesn't? That's strange. Does it just come with a USB cable?
Shit. I am thinking Nintendo.
it doesn't come with a USB cable for the base? It's supposed to.
It certainly does. It comes with a charging dock and a USB cable:
that's not a power adapter. that's a USB
HUELEN10
Member
Yeah, but no power supply. I'm gonna have to spend another 10 bucks for a damned power supply at Walgreens or some shit.
Oh, like a wall adapter? Who cares, plug it into a USB slot, or one of the dozen other power adapters I'm sure we all already have for our numerous devices.
does your phone have a USB-to-outlet adapter? i bet that would work

Member
That's for my phone, I'm not gonna swap cables every single time. Original plan was to keep BB-8 near the lower shelf, always ready to go.

You should invest in a power strip with USB outlets.

All of Spheros products just come with a usb cable. Huelen, I find it hard to believe that you don't have extra adapters lying around, you're always buying new toys and electronics.

Tight on money. Only got the pop bb8 and kylo ren for now.
Walked into our Toys R Us, in the UK, practically everything available, only 2 or 3 figures sold out, or just not in stock yet, everything else was barely bought, looks like in my area no one cares. Mind you the older Star Wars stuff was hardly bothered with.
I only bought 2 pop vinyls, trying to limit myself £86.73 spent day one now.
