    The one that I am looking for is that black series 26 inch tie fighter. Not sure if it is a Toys R Us exclusive or not.

    I don't think that will be an exclusive, it hasn't been released yet, I don't think.

    I'm officially on "save for vacation" mode, so the only collecting money going out will be for pre-orders. Of course once I'm back from my trip in Nov all bets are OFF! I'll need to get shelves I think before I can buy gobs more stuff though.

    Another Force Friday? They should rename it "Disappointment, Round 2!". Hopefully this time Hasbro and retailers are better prepared.

    I've seen some refreshment of stuff at stores. My local Wally-World put out another case of 6" Black Series figures. Kylo Ren, Stormtrooper and Rey sold fast, but now they have double the leftover Chewies and Finns.

    I just found this awesome TFA purse online - I checked their FB site and they have a BB-8 dome purse like their R2 one coming. I saw the R2 purse at Disneyland and had to REALLY restrain myself from picking it up.

    Eh? Haven't heard anything about another FF. I think a SW site would've picked up on this. Probably just the release of the new wave.

    They did? Rebelscum? Jedi Temple Archives have as well. And in Rebel Force Radio Steve Sansweet mentioned that there were more force friday event releases coming. And that it was just the beginning so there would be one every month.

    I take it as fact now, many people have Independently verified it.

    My local Wal-Mart restocked their TFA stuff. They had the next wave (I'm guessing, as I'd never seen them before) of 3 3/4" figures, which included General Hux, some blue droid that looked like 3PO on 'roids, the red dude who looks a bit like Deadpool (sorry, I forgot what they're called and I'm too lazy to look them up :p). Also had the Inquisitor from Rebels and Darth Vader in it :confused: . No sign of the next 6" wave though.

    I am finally seeing stores restocking with wave 1. Any idea if we are going to have another "Force Friday" tomorrow?

    My Wal-Mart restocked as well, but I haven't seen or heard any more about a second Force Friday. Maybe it was more a coordinated effort by stores to get things back in stock by a certain date.

    the 3 3/4" Waves seem to be showing up more today, but as far as The Black Series, still a bunch of Finn and Chewie warming here.

    Yeah, Finn and Chewie are the peg warmers around here as well. At my Wal-Mart they've replenished the first 6" wave and now they have double the Chewies, with not one looking to have sold. Finn's figure I understand, as the face sculpt - particularly the eyes - is a bit wonky, and there's something off about Chewie's head, like it's made from a noticeably different plastic than the body. We've also had a Chewie figure already, and though this is a new sculpt (I believe), collectors may just not be in the mood to double dip.

    I think people will regret it later. So far, of all the waves announced, Chewie is the only Wave 1 figure that isn't getting a rerelease. Finn and Stormtrooper are rereleased in Wave 2, and Finn, Stormtrooper, Rey, and Kylo are the Wave 2 rereleases. And, while not confirmed, it's looking like Phasma and Rey are 2 of the 3 rereleases for Wave 4. So there's a very decent possibility that Wave 1 will be the only way to get Chewie this year. When the movie hits, and the rush is on, people may find the Wookie is long gone..

    It's certainly possible. I remember when Wave 1 of the Black Series came out and R2-D2 was a peg warmer. I saw him everywhere, then *poof*, gone. When I checked online, he'd shot up over $50.00. Same thing happened with the Unleashed series 10 years ago. Like you said, once the film gets closer, Christmas just around the corner, they may be snatched up and gone.

    Wanted to update the thread as it simply brings back great memories. Also, do we know when the next "Force Friday" will be?
