Has anyone found the Mission Series figures?  My Target didn't have pegs for them (and didn't have the figures either)?

Phrub found them at Target last night (West Coast), so they must be on the way.  I haven't seen any pegs for them either.

From this moment for all my life. What could I say? Was born to be this way. And what could I say?  Just livin' for today

Check your Target. This looked like the only thing they restocked since Friday.

Found all of the Universe/Mission Series 2-packs except for the set with BB-8.  I guess that's the HTF set!

I found Wave 2 of the BAW TFA figures at Walmart today and snagged the Ezra and Kanan I needed.  :)

Got a $10 Kohls rewards certificate in the mail, so I went into my local store to see if there was anything worth getting - found both the First Order Snowtrooper and Resistance Pilot Asty - they were on "sale" for $10.79 - but thanks to the coupon, they ended up being $5.79 each which is a bit more reasonable.

They did also have Ezra and Kanan, but I passed on them - they'll be peg warming everywhere as soon as Wave 2 hits, so I'm not inclined to pay Kohls prices for those two...

I picked up a spare Ezra last night to open. He holds the light saber well. Also noticed the design on his back was different than the other one I had open, but I know that was a previously established variant from the 3-pack, so this may not be a third iteration.

Arguably a better figure. Removable helmet (that's Han Solo, right?), waist articulation...

Someone picked up a few random TFA figs for me at DOllar General...  They have $5 off $25 coupons routinely for usually a Saturday only, and had full cases available so I got a Stormie, TIE Pilot, and Flametrooper to add some articulation to.

Love the Flametrooper in general...  Inspires me to make an OT one someday.  He's like he's fat though.

The TIE Pilot I wish his visor moved, but otherwise he's pretty nifty.  I hadn't gotten one of him yet.

The BAW's are really meh though.  I thought they were cool, and some are cooler than others (Stormtrooper's big rifle has some use), but I'd much rather they all came with just a 2nd rifle or something...  Just me though.

It might be worth a stop at TRU if you are still on the lookout for stuff. I stopped by there this morning and they seemed to have restocked pretty much everything. Fresh case of Black Series on the pegs, plenty of the vehicles, but more interestingly they had at least two cases of the 2-packs, and probably 4 new cases of basic figures (I saw at least 4 Phasmas at least). Way more stuff than I even saw on Force Friday. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

I came across my first case of basic figures stocked on the shelves since force Friday at a Target. Flame trooper case. Picked up the Vader which I neglected initially.

So my kid's 5th birthday was last week and I got for him Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, a couple of Flame troopers (the armor up one and one with those weird accessories), a regular Stormtrooper, the Snow Speeder and the up armor versions of Finn and Poe.

He loves all the first order figures, especially Kylo Ren (we got this large balloon of Kylo Ren from Party City and I've seen him hug it!), and for a five year old kid I think they are just fine...but I can't wait to get some better articulated figures for my collection.
This is the way.
