They need to release another UCS Millennium Falcon. I've had it at a ne point and it's massive. Would be a huge money maker now to and seems dumb to not release one again after all these years.
Those look cool! Thanks for sharing. I'll be on the hunt for them and it is nice to confirm their existence finally. I had my wife out looking the other day but she came up empty.
I picked up the X-Wing yesterday. Looks sick, but I didn't build it yet.
I also wanted the TIE Fighter, but I had to choose one, and honestly, the new First Order TIE FIghter's Lego design looks like a step back from the last Lego TIE I got. Specifically, I don't like the look of the supports on the outside of the wings/panels. They've regressed.

My bet? Because they thought it "looked cool."

Got this sunshade for my car:
Arizona or New Mexico? (I assume due to the lack of anyone having grass)

I have 4 online orders coming in and I honestly have no idea what I even ordered at this point. It's like I blacked out and let the devil on my shoulder take over.

So what stores are selling BB-8s? I don't plan on finding one but while out, I will look.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
He turns spy and betrays them!
That or gets his arm shot off and they take another from a droid like him.
They're in the back room playing with it.

That site will flat-out lie to you about whether or not they even have what you ordered. A friend of mine pre-ordered one of those GameCube adapters for Wii U, and didn't end up getting it for like two months after release. And when he was contacting customer service during that time, they would tell him it was in their warehouse and hadn't been prepped yet, and then they later admitted that they didn't even have one to ship him and had to wait to get more from Nintendo.
The one I ordered from Amazon on Friday just shipped this morning. I think a lot of online stores over promised and underestimated the SW fans and are now scrambling around with their heads cut off.

Thank you. I didn't expect a comprehensive list. I thought they were exclusive to select stores.
Now to convince the wife.

So bed bath and barnes are sold out and there's a sign at bed bath saying the coupon isn't allowed. Brookstone has it but there $20 off of $99 doesn't work on it. Best buy is the only place I can check that's left.
I will say after having the topps cards for 2 days and doing a bit of research on the topps USA Facebook page, judging by checklist images and comparing my UK checklist
The UK cards are probably inferior, simply because in the US you guys are getting way more cards, for example art cards, and more special character cards, as well as it looks like autograph cards too.
By the way the UK set only covers the original trilogy and very basic force awakens cards
I'm not sure if the US set has prequel stuff also as well as a few more force awakens cards also.

I don't care if it flakes, that has to be the best thing I've ever seen.

I think I recall reading it means special forces. Plus it adds a bit of colour.

Opened my Disney Store die-cast X-Wing and I quite like it. The guns are made of a very bendy plastic, though. Bummer. Otherwise it's good for £7.95.
I got my Kylo Black series from Amazon and my box is damaged.
Did they ship it in a bubble mailer?

Are you planning on reselling? Curious why that matters.
Same with mine. Luckily it arrived in perfect shape. Knew I got lucky.
Some people like to keep their figures in the box. It's not that hard to figure out. The boxes for the Black Series figures are quite nice as well.

Understood.

Yep, got my order in right as the site came back up Thursday. No movement on my elite Phasma, Rey and Kylo. Guess they shut down for the weekend?
I'm guessing the long holiday weekend may have put things on hold. I did end up ordering one of the sunshades off Amazon for $11.
Can it stand still? One preview video I saw with the guy from sphero, it was constantly wobbling back and forth. I wouldn't mind if the base constantly moves, but the head was swaying all over the place.

Officially finished with FF. Found two Jakks 20" Phasma figures at TRU and then bought the LEGO First Order Transport and Kylo's Shuttle.
So expensive. So good.

Hrmmm haven't had any issue with BB sitting still and just talking and such. Might have been in drive mode and he was moving it a bit.

Yes they are.
Stumbled upon a target and went in to see that the star wars section was picked on to the core. Saw the new lego TIE fighter which look pretty cool.
Not something that came out this weekend but I did pick up a star wars related thing heh.
Such a adorable series. I seen it before but I was really digging it today when I saw the little exhibit they had at the San Francisco Cartoon Art Museum, and went to pick up this one from there (only one they had)

I considered getting the entire line of elites but I settled on getting ONLY Phasma to see what I think about it. So far, of the people getting these the reviews seem very lukewarm. They suffer from loose/wobbly joints, are weighted weird so tend to fall over easier than plastic figures, plus have big easy to see screw holes in several places (since they use a lot of metal this is how they secure it together)... so... you really should think hard before getting these over the 6" Black Series figures until more reviews start to surface. I'll hopefully have my Phasma before next weekend and I'll offer my thoughts.
If you only care about what it looks like on the shelf then you can do worse though.

Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna get Kylo's shuttle first I think.

There was a statue or two based on the series as well. They looked pretty cute. I think they're sold out by now, though.
Just found them, and they do look pretty cute indeed, but both are going for $300+ now, so no.

I watched a video review of the Kylo Ren one and the guy seemed really impressed by it, so I ordered that one. Wanted the Captain Phasma one but haven't had any luck finding one in the 6" Black series and the Elite series one is sold out. =(
I think the Phasma Black series will be available in wave 2 which should launch in a month. Although it seems some stores are putting it out early.
Well, checked Radio Shack, Best Buy, AT&T, Barnes and Noble, Sprint, and Bed Bath and Beyond today for the BB-8, all sold out. Radio Shack took down my info and told me they would reserve the next one for me and call me when it comes in, so I hope it works out.
Thanks for the reply, that is very good to know. My carpet isn't too thick so I think it should be fine. Looking forward to getting one.
