Ask a guy waiting in line in front of Toys R Us anything. Seriously

How bad's the smell?

>>5939732
It's a nice evening. People are friendly. Air is cool. Nice night to be outside

>standing in line for a shitty Hasbro figure

>>5939730
What specific figures are you waiting for? How many in line? Are you first?

>>5939748
I'm first in line, but others are starting to show up quickly.

I'm hoping to get the black series 6" figures, which includes an exclusive tank pilot

>>5939730
What's coming out? Don't tell me it's Revan.

>>5939748
There's like 6 people aside from myself

I was thinking about swinging by and grabbing a helmet

>>5939754
Nah Reven is November from what I hear

Wave 1 and maybe wave 2 black series

Both were spotted on the shelves in Japan

>>5939756
That helmet is really cool. Going to buy one myself

I saw the whole wave at walmart today and the stormtrooper helmet. Rey looks cool and unmasked kylo is ok. I passed for now.

>>5939763
I actually scored a bunch of stuff from Kroger and Walgreens. I'm mainly here now to hang out with my friends. All of whom are late

Will you get me a marvel legends scarlet witch?

>>5939755
Only 6 guys?

Oh sheet! Every year they've been going this since ep2 I've been collecting the fliers for Force Friday but I totally forgot this time. Collection ruined :(

How many dicks do you suck in a week

I don't understand. standing in line for Black series figures? one is a TRU exclusive? it won't be there tomorrow? why do you have to stand in line?
Are you a scalper? are you doing it because standing in line over night is a retarded star wars tradition? I don't understand anon. pls help me to understand.

>>5939975
Most likely all of the above, anon.
Also there's something fun about standing in line with fellow collectors. Toy collecting is a very niche hobby in the US, and I'm sure it's cool to see others who share your passion.

Why would you want to share your shame with others

>>5939756
Nigga, if you buy it unbox it on stream or something. I really want to see how Hasbro fucked it. I can only imagine how bad the voice changer is, even on the offical video they faked it for which is as good as not even showing it off.

Still in line. About 25 people now. Someone brought a drone that's flying over the line filming us from above

Sounds about right. I'm honestly surprised there's no 400 pound neckbeards.

What the fuck is this? People are waiting outside a store at midnight for some shitty action figures?

Why? For what purpose?

>>5940244
Because it's fun to be with friends. Everyone is having a good time, some people aren't even buying stuff. Just here to hang out with friends

Did you get anything anon? It was picked clean but I expected as much. I got the astromech droid 3 pack which i did want and think people slept on as there was 4. Girl working said they didnt get much. This TRU doesnt usually get much but i get lucky sometimes. figured it would be better than the jefferson/sepulveda one which I never find stuff at.

tried spotting you were you one of the old dudes? Or blonde guy with glasses? They were the first ones to exit.

>Hasbro put a fuckton of Constable Zuvios in the cases that came in tonight

Low blow, Hasbro. I was lucky I made it out with the last k2so, wanted a death trooper though. Had a lot fun with my collector bro.

>>5940411
woah what? i didn't see that. plenty on shelves at wally world, but those are months old. It was weird seeing a bunch of new rey's though, she's had 4 variant releases. I guess to make sure #wheresrey didn't rear it's head again.

>>5940171
Walmart actually put their Rogue One stuff out a couple weeks ago

>>5940411
Are you sure they just werent zuvios already there? Mine was a bust, guy ahead of me got the last tank trooper and K2. I should've just ordered off amazon. Fuck me.

>>5940355
People didn't sleep on that set. It's just that $60 is a little steep for three small droids. I'll pick it up next time I get my rewards points.

>>5940428
Yeah I guess to most people it seems a bit steep, Im glad I got it as I never got R2 and likely never will unless theres a rerelease and glad I didnt fall for buying it scalped after comic con. So im happy. Saw it was sold out on TRU.com hoping they shelfwarm for you anon.

>>5940423

They had em all on a table instead of the shelves. Staff said Zuvio were part of the shipment. Only ones available were Rey, maskless Kylo, Ira Belle and Diego Luna. No Death Troopers or Director Krenics. Scalpers most likely got to them first. I'm not stressing since my fiance is going to Lego store for me in the morning to pick up a U Wing and AT ST.

>>5940440

On a side note, did you guys have fun though?

>>5940440
Huh... I didnt even know ira bell and director krennic were in this wave, never saw pics. If hasbro seriously inculded more zuvios in this assortment they are seriously retarded. Unless your TRUs staff just set everything up they had in stock on the table for easy access. At mine they still had the usual amount which is the 10 that theyve had for the past 6 months at least.

>>5940443
I did! Im a sucker for this type of stuff though.

>>5940355
Hey Anon. Sorry I didn't see this earlier. I was the guy give out check lists and carrying a messenger bag

So no black series except for the TRU droid 3 pack and the exclusive tank pilot. Did you get one of the latter?

>>5940445

More than likely the staff got first dibs which lessened the amount of stuff that was there. I thought hasbro would've learned from last year but I guess it was just my store. I figured I wasn't gonna get the tank trooper but dammed if I wasn't hoping for that death trooper.p

>>5940446

Even last year was fun. Couldn't find anything but it was fun going from place to place. Like the thrill of the hunt. I actually have more fun at these than the opening night for the movie.

>>5940447
>messenger bag
Hmm not sure I saw this, and I came too late for the checklists. Were you the hispanic dude in black? I only got the astromech 3 pack. No tank trooper though, only a sea of Zuvios. I had a chat with some guys afterwords. They managed to get the tank guy but didnt see any of the other ones. Was there even any of the rest of the wave? You were in first right?

They said a staff member told they were getting trucks about everyday this week.

Another guy came by from the culver city one, said that one had a few of everything leftover after he left. I guess I will try later this week unless amazon restocks as apparently TRU wasnt selling them for 15.99$ like they were listed on TRU.com.

>>5940445
From a store that the manager wouldn't let me set aside one of the black series helmets.
She wouldn't let anyone set anything aside. Zuvios were everywhere.

>>5940457
I was the white guy with checkered shorts and a blue t-shirt. I was with another tall white guy and a very old dude who is my uncle who worked for fix during the OT years. He just came out for the nostalgia

So I'm hearing that store did get black series and unfortunately they were all taken by store employees before they opened the store

I was the first person in line

>>5940461
*worked for FOX during the original trilogy years

>>5940461
Hah ok I think I saw you and your friend I said hi to your uncle on the way out. Damn thats a bummer about the employees, and you were there since what like 10? Sucks. I was suprised at how cool everyone was and civilized. No pushing no rushing, staff was great besides them cherry picking.

Like I said I pulled up but left and went to get something to eat then my jaw dropped after I saw your line picture, and thought wait.. That cant be the same store, and came back just before 12. Got your email will write you back later. Happy hunting, i will let you know if i find anything in the area.

Right, anon?

Just got back from my Walmart, they didn't have a single new product on the shelves.

>>5940609
Kinda reminds me of the TF movie toy releases.
Movie 1 - Huge deal
Movie 2 - Product out and covered with a sign saying available at midnight
Movie 3 - Product out a day or two late
Movie 4 - No shelf space anymore, gotta sell WWE toys

TRU Anon back again. This time I'm first in line at a Target.

>>5940613
movie 5 one step changer exclusive line, takara carrying the only transformable options, which are all off model reshells of the AOE toys.

>>5940625
>tfw work at Target
>tfw get there at 8am today so I'm going to miss everything
I just hope vehicles don't sell, that's all I need still. You know about the coupons anon?

>>5940613

The first TF movie toyline was a disaster. I was buying lots of Transformer stuff at the time still, and for the better part of 4 or 5 months, no one had any stock. Most places just weren't even getting shipments, but around Christmas time, I think, shit started to finally trickle in. And promptly sold out, seeing as it was Christmas time, and nobody even had any of these toys since it took nearly six fucking months for retailers to get anything anyway.

Anyway, this Force Friday sounds like the last one for TFW: most stores got one, maybe two cases, and were sold out of of the 6" figures after the first two or three people went down the aisle.

>>5940652
Get a friend to buy it for you? Or have a friend get put it in hold?

I expected as much and didn't bother. It's incredible to me that they hype the hell out of this day and then barely have any stock to sell. I mean what is the fucking point?

>>5940445
There werent zuvios in the assortment either, unless this guys store got some weird shipper.

>>5941892
I'd be willing to bet they put out their excess product and tried to claim it was new for the oblivious parents etc.

Do you feel like a retard yet?

>>5941916
No I totally had a great time spending a beautiful evening with my friends. I got a lot of cool stuff and it was really fun.

>>5941892
Zuvios and those red guys got put out at a lot of stores. I think it was a desperate attempt to move old stock.

>>5940652
They still had stuff at my Target Friday afternoon. Maybe because they put some of the displays nearer to clothes than toys.

>>5941469
Basically this. I nearly grabbed a K-2SO but didn't care enough to shell out $20 for it.
