Well I read on my phone this weekend one of Dan's (The Spectre) posts on FB about Five Below having the two packs for five bucks. Great deal. I brought home 8 of em as I was in an outlet that had a five below this weekend.

My daughter got three of the new Star Wars Forces of Destiny Gals this weekend. The articulation is great in them for Barbie type dolls. I really like Sabine. Guess we will have to get Hoth Leia and Jyn to complete the set. Still it was a nice surprise gift from Hasbro.

I also saw the Walmart Exclusive Rogue One three packs (K2so, Jyn, and one more Cassian I think) for $9. 5 POA, but better price I thought.

Picked up some Action Fleet ships for some customs.

One TIE Fighter was found at a local collectible shop for 10 bucks.

Vader's TIE, the Red Y-wing and TIE were from ebay Canada. Total came to about $17 which I thought was a steal.

The other TIE was off ebay as well, a little over 20 bucks.

Nice Action Fleet. I have been meaning to find some time to go back and see if I can find a few more boxed versions I want. I also meant to keep bugging you about that three button at-at. I so need to find one of those for not outrageous prices.

Action Fleets will always be #1 to me. I wish they would return.


This was at the Providence RI Walmart today. I tried buying a figure before work, then after. I was denied both times. It's not a big deal as I just wanted one figure, but I feel like if its on the shelf I should be able to buy it.

Wow, that story you posted about this on FB got a lot of comments. Looks like folks were either pay anywhere from $4 to $12 dollars for the figures. I put it on the front page.

Cool! Glad to get a lot of people interacting.


Reporting another TLJ sighting tonight. This was at the Cranston RI Kmart around 8:30. There were no scanners around so I do not know if these would ring up. I have no intention of buying this item so I didn't check with an employee. They also had TLJ build a lightsaber boxes.

This Kmart is closing in November, which was reported yesterday. Liquidation is rumored to start as early as August 31st.

I haven't had a chance to get into any stores, but it sure seems you are finding things. I wonder when they will let you buy something?

Here is my Force Friday haul. Hera is for a friend. I picked up the Revell Poe's X-wing from K-mart Thursday night. They are closing in November so I was able to get it for cheaper. I was lucky enough to snag a Thrawn as he went quick. Didn't run into a lot of people, only talked with one fan for a good hour towards the end of my hunt. We exchanged numbers and Facebooks. It seemed all places were under-stocked.

I also made a Force Friday video, putting it together as we speak.

Thanks! I know every area is different, but I planned my day to be at each store as they opened. My first store was Walmart at 7am, then a Target at 8am. Stopped in another Walmart at 9am. The second Walmart opened at 7 also but I only stopped in to see what they had. Then finished at Toys R Us, which was right around the corner from the second Walmart, which opened at 10.

Again, very underwhelming and under-stocked. I felt like with today, if you weren't at a store within the first hour of it opening you were screwed.

I look forward to seeing your video too. I got a box in from Hasbro yesterday for FF II. Good stuff. Loading a Facebook Video too.
