I don't know if the first 5 minutes of a TV show has ever made me so happy.  ;D If loving Glenn is wrong, I don't wanna be right!

Nevermind that we will likely have to go through this again next season, I can be happy for now.

I rarely question Rick, but he needs to stop saying "them" and "we" and just start thinking "us". Embrace the new community bro! (even if Deanna's son is a complete dipstick, sheesh) Guess he doesn't like prayer groups either.

Hard to figure with the shifting timelines, but I am curious/hoping Daryl and Abraham and Sasha show up in time to save the day next week. I don't think there was any mysterious shenanigans with the church toppling, just a lack of structural integrity after that truck rammed it.

LOL at Carol and her motherly advice. Killing is the only way NOT to become a monster? I'm not sure that is the best advice to be giving someone who has already been the victim of childhood abuse. Seems like a good recipe for brewing up a serial killer. Apparently the older brother appears well on his way to sociopathy.

Yeah, that kid bugs the **** out of me. One week you're saving Carl, the next week you're stalking him with a loaded gun? WTF? I'm praying he either gets eaten next week or Carl saves his ass once again showing him what an asinine idea this revenge trip is. (shouldnt he be madder at Rick anyway?) I also hope they are counting bullets so it will come out that he is lifting ammo. Little psycho. DO NOT SHOOT CARL IN THE EYE!!!  >:(

Morgan is starting to piss me off. If you have that much conviction in your beliefs, stop sneaking around behind people's backs doing stupid-ass reckless stuff. Should have just come clean at the table there with Rick and Michonne.

Can't wait for next week!

I got the Daryl/Merle walker arena building set Friday at a local comic shop. Still no sign of the Hospital Doors set though. I did spy a bunch of the new GoT sets at TRU the other day but had to just walk away.

That Target exclusive Tyreese figure is starting to piss me off too. Our local stores suck.

Nice get! I've had that same item bookmarked on eBay for awhile now. Very tempting, definitely a well done effort.

I wish someone would do a nice custom of the ship itself.

I suppose it would be good if Hasbro did a full case of Phasma in time for the holidays (along with cases of Kylo Ren and FO Stormtroopers) to meet demand and drive down the secondary market prices and/or eBay idiocy, but then they'd have to divert resources from Finn repack production and that would just be crazy.

On-topic: I found the Battlefront Shock Trooper at one of those Walmarts on Tuesday this week. Nice figure, although it once again makes me miss the double-jointed elbows on some of the TFA figures.

Hey man, for reals I will trade you a Phasma for one of those Shocktroopers straight up if you can get your hands on another. PM me if you're interested, would be glad to help you out.

I got mine Friday and haven't taken it out of the box yet. The one I got was disappointing in that the snow apps were very lightly applied on both the base and the figure itself. I guess I am struck with it unless I can find a better one in store, which at this point seems highly unlikely.  :(

2721
Yeah, I saw 2 Phasmas at Target today over lunch. I think she has officially been bumped as most In-Demand 6" figure by the Imperial Shocktrooper. That dude is crazy hard to find right now. (All 4 of the stores that got solid cases of 6 here were sold out within a day)

I just want to ask the writers if they ever plan on killing Ward or should I just check out and stop watching now.

Because I've had enough of that cocky dbag to last a lifetime. Off him already. If Grey's Anatomy can kill McDreamy, NO ONE should be untouchable on that network.

2723
It's hitting stores now. I just posted up report from Florida

What is the deal with Walgreens and Florida?!? The stores in that state were the only ones that ever got the Phasma wave too, at least for the first month or two. So odd.

Here's hoping there is some kind of unique UPC or item# for this one to make it easier to track down.

Star Wars Rebels / Re: Star Wars Rebels Toy Rumors!

I was just thinking how cool it was when they used to make Star Wars Rebels action figures. That was a fun couple of months.  ::)

At this rate the %$^&* season is going to be over before those 2 Inquisitors and Rex make it out, if ever.

I get the focus on the new movie but they are letting the current media die on the vine as a result. Those new figures should have been in the latest TFA waves instead of repack swag like Kanan and the Inquisitor.

So much squandered potential...

Plenty of the prototype Boba Fett figures turned up at Walgreens stores.  And with Walgreens taking over Rite Aid?  That means there are going to be that many more Walgreens stores VERY SOON.  I think this Emporer's Wrath Vader will probably be reasonably easy to get.

Although I did see a few Proto Bobas around here, it is a very different case with their Walking Dead exclusive figures. That %$^& Deputy Rick figure NEVER made it to a single store around here, and I checked all of them repeatedly for weeks. And I only saw the Black Ant-Man at 2 different stores out of like 20 around here. That's the kind of stuff that has me nervous. They are not at all consistent with the availability of their products across the country.

If this isn't showing up in stores by Black Friday that is a HUGE missed opportunity for them IMO.

2726
They are, because apparently no retailer has figured out yet how to meet customer demand for Star Wars toys.  >:(

Who thought it would be a good idea NOT to put this on the Walgreens site anyway?

Boom! I used Brickpicker to find the closet Wally that had these in stock and headed straight over. Grabbed a fresh case right off the pallet - love that!

I just got the one but am thinking two is probably better for flanking Vader or what have you.

I can only pray the Walgreens exclusive will be this easy to snag.

Wow, good stuff guys...that helps a lot. Thanks! Still have to rewatch that I think, maybe with captioning this time to make it clearer.

i would like to have seen an episode with the wolves attacking this new group. No one to worry about rooting for, just an orgy of violence.

So where did those 2 dipsticks head off to at the end? can they expect to live long after ripping off Daryl?

What the hell was that??

I spent nearly the whole hour completely bewildered...I actually thought I had missed an episode somewhere along the line that would have made sense of whatever the heck happened. I am going to have to go back and re-watch the whole thing just to get some kind of clue to what was going on.

I did grasp that it was Negan's gang looking for the 3 weirdos...he only likes willing cooch, or whatever the hell that guy said. But like, nothing else made sense that whole episode.

Why are you lying in wait with cars and automatic weapons for 3 losers on foot with one pistol between them? Did they think they had stolen a car or something? (Ok, maybe)

What in the hell were those 3 idiots doing anyway? trying to round up their old gang from high school? WTF were "Patty" and who were the Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen lookalikes in the cabin?

I still don't get how they burned the whole forest up - what was the combustible agent? Gas? Dude's explanation was pretty sketchy.

Why was everything that came out of those 3 people's mouths practically incomprehensible? All that crap about "earning" and being "on your knees" was baffling. Even the "Claimer" gang made more sense than that.

Why would anyone choose Sasha over Rosita???

But the stupidest thing of all was the ending. Daryl is about to take them back to Alexandria where their lives will be infinitely better, they already know they can trust him because he came back to help them, and they STILL decide to screw him over and split? WHY??? Were they planning to go back to Negan's crew? or just take off on their own? That was completely asinine on every level.

It was hard to enjoy the episode at all really because I was just so confused throughout the whole thing. (I guess I am just thick , the rest of you guys seemed to get it)

It concerns me that the show has semed to settle into a pretty predictable formula, they inevitably run into some "bad" group and have to battle it out with them and ultimately triumph and then wash, rinse, repeat. I'm actually pretty sick of that. Why does EVERY group have to be bad for example? Why couldn't they run into a another group like their own? Or maybe just focus on the walkers for a season, that's the name of the show right? This whole idea of the world fell apart and everyone became a rabid psychopath or helpless weakling is getting tiresome.

Didn't mean to sound so grumpy. Just a hard episode to follow, IMHO.

Rats. Thanks for the update though, any trip to Walmart averted is a plus.  ;)
