    I had a pleasant surprise in town today - both TRU and Entertainer had TLJ displays. Entertainer had nothing I wanted but I scored at TRU - a second Funko Pop Porg so I now have one boxed and one on display. Also managed to snag the 6" Black Thrawn - only one on the shelf. Price was a bit steep but I figured it would be the only one I'd see at local retail so I didn't waste a lot of time thinking about it. I know I'd pay more if I waited for a Forbidden Planet trip..

    FYI for the UK folks - my Sainsburys had a bunch of the new 3.75 inch figures in the small toy section this morning. Luke, Kylo, and Rey were represented (along with others).

    I missed out on Force Friday and immediately discovered every TLJ Luke figure had been bought up for miles in every direction out of every Target, Walmart, Kmart and Toys R Us. Naturally, they were on sale on eBay for double (or even triple!) the price, but my patience paid off...just found a fresh TLJ Luke at my local Toys R Us for 7.99!

    So they're simultaneously releasing TLJ and saga characters (I see Obi-Wan and Yoda) on the same cardbacks? Reminds me of when they did the same thing back during the original AOTC run. Nothing wrong w/diversifying the lineup, but as a result I always felt that AOTC never really had a cardback identity of its own.
