    This is pretty neat, even if it's about toys at the end of the day ha

    Yea, since not much has seemed to leak out I don't know what all I'll buy. But I'm planning on dropping a good bit on some black series figures at the very least, and the new Leia book.

    As a huge Funko Pop collector, yes I'll be getting all the new ones, and probably a few of the new Black Series. I luckily have Friday off from work so I can go all in Thursday night/Friday morning.

    Looking forward to impulsively spending way too much money on Force Friday merch.

    What's so special about the Black series figures? Is it just something new since TFA?

    I think it's only been going on for a few years, maybe a year or two before TFA. It includes lightsabers, vehicles, figures etc just seems to be this cohesive marketing series for Hasbro. I don't know all the details, I just buy the occasional figure that I like. I'm probably going to get the new Vader and the Jedi Training Rey. A lot of the big stores like Target, Walmart, Game Stop get exclusives as well.

    What's the general cost of each figure? And does this series span across all three trilogies? If so, that's pretty cool and I may come back to collecting lol. I'm currently looking at this collection online and it's awesome. Quality, packaging, everything.

    I think they are usually around $20-23ish. Some of them seem to sit on shelves for forever tho ha like you could get some of the Rogue One figures for like 5 bucks on clearance. Some like Darth Revan are off the shelves super quick (I really want that one).
    They are from all the films/tv shows. For the price, I think they are pretty neat. I'm not too picky ha. I follow ToweringToys on instagram and Yakface on twitter for all the latest info.

    I'd have a specific list of Jedi/Villains and other main characters I really like. A lot of useless side characters I probably wouldn't even consider, but this is what i've been looking at for the past hour and a half. (So thankful my boss does not have a way to track my internet use when I have down time here.)

    The problem with these types of things is that I have buyer's remorse before I even purchase anything. I waited in line at a Toys R Us at midnight like an adult last time. When they opened up, I grabbed a bunch of various items - Legos, action figures, other playsets, etc. As the night went on, I put the items back one by one, deciding not to spend the money on some of the pricier things. Instead I bought a kid's dining set (cup/plate/bowl all with SW stuff on it) and a tiny little stuffed BB-8.

    I suck at shopping for cool things

    Luckily, I live in the far suburbs and therefore will go to Walmart at midnight and have zero line. 2 years ago there were like 2 people who showed up shortly after I did and it was all just sitting out in the open at like 11:30. I grabbed my black series and had to kill time to midnight since their registers wouldn't let them ring them up til then.

    Last year they still had their display covered at 12:10 and I was the only one there. I asked if I could start buying stuff and there were like, "oh we are bringing more out , it'll be 30 minutes." I asked if I could just look for what I was specifically looking for and the nice lady realized I was just some sad nerd and kindly called someone over to take off the boxes. I actually helped unbox some of it haha reminded me of me retail days.

    Man I can't find any info on the new Lego sets, it seems like the leaks were taken down pretty aggressively

    Thanks!

    Nice to see the future black series confirmed. Glad they aren't all being released today. I'm planning on snagging all of them.
