I looked at the MF drone at Target but couldn't bring myself to pay $110 for stryofoam that I know I will crash repeatedly. It looks really cool though.
oh man i didnt know it was made from styrofoam. my hype for that suddenly sounds like the malfunctioning hyper drive

I haven't been paying super close attention. Did a new trailer drop today, or is today all about "buy our stuff and we give you nothing"?

My Meijer was completely out of Black Series figures but a ton of the standard ones and a ton of Sphero BB-8s in those nice boxes.
No, you get the stuff.

Nope.

Slightly off-topic but wasn't Darth Revan supposed to be in a Black Series wave? I remember he won a vote.

Yep, probably next year.

I'm definitely getting that one. I'll probably do all my ordering on Amazon because going to the store has been so hit or miss (mostly miss) for me.

There's a few non Force Awakens characters that are ahead of it (Kanan, Jango, Sabine) so next year at the earliest I would think.

Looks like I'm gonna be skyping into CNN later today to talk about all this ridiculousness.
As a side note, has anyone seen those new Topps trading cards that were supposed to be out today? I tried calling some comic book shops in the area and no go...neither did my wife have any luck at TRU or Target...
Sucks, I was really looking forward to a few packs today.
The hobby store release was pushed back to the 16th, however the retail version was supposed to be at the major chain stores for Force Friday - but I have yet to find one pack anywhere.
I hope your on air subtitle matches your Gaf tag.

Made a trip came back with small, yet expensive haul, in the Kylo Ren Black series 6" figure and Sphero BB-8 from Best Buy.
Wal-Mart had been ransacked with a few micromachines and 3.75" figures left along with 6" versions of Rey, Finn and Chewie. Went to Target where the toy aisle was destroyed lol with no 6" series in stock but they set up another Star Wars department in their seasonal section and someone must of at one point sat down their 6" Kylo and Rey to look at something so I swooped in and grabbed Kylo and took off like Arnie in Jingle All the Way. lol

Make sure you get a GAF ref in there. EviLore pays out for that.

Kylo out of the box. Good quality.

Yeah, he looks great. Hopefully I can pick one up tomorrow.
Hope it's closer in design to the game than the older 3.75" was.

No, I assumed it would come from the droid too. That's lame.

Anyone seen the Millennium Falcon and/or X Wing drones available anywhere in the UK? Can't find anything online.

I thought he'd make the sounds himself, but It's not a huge deal to me.
Ugh, no, that's exactly what I expected too.
This might have actually unsold me on the droid

Turrible bait post.
Kylo out of the box. Good quality.
I'm still curious if there's anything significant to how his saber looks in these figures (with the crossguards connecting to the main blade), or if it's just a practicality thing of how the toy molds are put together.
EDIT: Huh, finally got around to reading the back of the box for the BB-8 Sphero and realized it says he's the loyal droid to Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, which is interesting considering we've only ever seen him on Jakku with Rey so far.

Heading to Target after work expecting a god damn wasteland. No toy is worth skipping work and school over but AGGHHH I want my Kylo Ren.

Now I'm wondering if I should have just got the cheaper and larger Target one - why wasn't this mentioned anywhere in the product reviews?
Haha this is exactly how I'm feeling now. I woke up this morning sort of looking forward to seeing some pictures, and now I'm counting down to the end of work.
I haven't felt this way about Star Wars merchandise in soooo long, it's pretty exciting.

This is what led me to just buying the shitty 12" this morning. An "oh, this is still here?" answer at 8:30am when I finally got out of the house.

Wait, what? What Star Wars item did you buy at Bed Bath and Beyond?
They've been advertising the Sphero BB-8 so I would wager heavily on that.
