Has anyone seen any Last Jedi merchandise so far? I've seen some Halloween candy and some other things, but no Hasbro stuff yet.

I'm sure we'll all be rolling in stuff this weekend. :lol:

I live in Knoxville TN. One of the local Kroger had the first series out and on sale. They were 7.99. I got Luke, Rey, Kylo,Chewie, and Poe. I bought a couple extra to open and I gotta say these are nice figures.

The only thing released here in my area early were the pops at a booksamillion. Though they had no porgs or chewie with porg.

Wow Wal-Mart should be embarrassed. I went to two stores today and neither one had the new figures. Not only that but they were only scheduled to get 1 cases according to the department manager. Dies Hasbro even realize what they have with this property any more?

Same at a couple WM stores I checked - bare pegs - nothing from the 3.75 lines, save for piles of the Force Link device that comes with Kylo that shipped in a display stand. Its pretty pathetic, when they're a leading retailer in the US - I suppose the toy department isn't much of a priority.

I picked up some Cocoa Puffs and used the coupon and my $25 Target gift card from their promotion to pick up the Force Kink Band. Definitely a gimmick and very similar to the Comm Tech chip, it is nonetheless pretty cool.

Had to run to Centralia Walmart tonight, so I stopped by the action figures. The box I opened of 5 POA figures was still on the riser, so I took it down and got Hux and Paige out. I carried them around for a moment and then put them back.

Then I picked up a Thrawn and two Stormtroopers, and carried them around for the remainder of my shopping trip. Then I put them back too because I don't know what I would do with them anyway.

I'm super dissatisfied with Hasbro right now, otherwise I might have picked up all those figures...

I just got the Wal-Mart black series Luke. I would have got the others but they were not in the system. It was moving a mountain just to get them to get Luke in the system.

Picked up the basic Luke. Looks great, but I'm keeping him in the package for now.

I may give his robe to the black series Luke, as soon as I can get one. Or maybe I'll just give it away.

But, it does look very nice. And I was surprised to find it, as all of my stores are pretty picked over. Looks like the TLJ toy launch was a massive success.

Other than Hux and Threepio, there don't seem to be any pegwarmers at this point.

The stores here would have to receive something before I could judge if it was a success or not. :| :?

Finally got the Probe Droid at Target though. I would have honestly picked up another A-Wing, but they didn't have any. I hope to receive mine from Amazon this week.
