Finally found Sylvie from the What If wave…very nice figure. I really want to build Uatu but I don’t want the rest of those figures, may have to go the eBay route.

Where at?  I haven't seen any sign of this wave locally (Minneapolis)

Bah, I was able to get two of these site to store and two preorder...I got two yellow head and two purple head.  Still looking for the other four if anyone wants to swap.

Would buy a u-wing.

On the X-Wing… Target says out of stock, not sold out.  Do we have any indication about whether or not this is supposed to show up online at all again or is the in store stock out last hope?

I wish we had a Target insider in the group.  I think the "normal" ways of checking stock either online or in-store via price checker are showing no stock on these and other collectibles, but the employee scanners show different information.  I bet there will be more of these - it should be the big ticket SW item for Christmas.

That She-Hulk is pretty nice.  It is a stand alone - no BAF.  Mostly just a re-paint of the gray one from last year, but with an alternate head option.  I love that ML does that by the way - I will sometimes buy two just to display both versions.  Gamestop has been solid with new ML lately too.  Just picked up the new Quicksilver there this weekend.  Bet you didn't see that coming.

Stats I looked up showed that the Manningcast accounted for 5% of week 1 viewership and 13% of week 2 viewership.

I'm not sure how much they're advertising the Manningcast, but I saw absolutely nothing about it before Week 1.  So 13% of the viewer mix is probably pretty dang good considering they've put very little (no?) promotional effort in to it.

I've seen nothing on ads - its all word of mouth.  I mentioned it to guys in other FF leagues and at work and none of them had heard of it before that.  Pretty impressive.

Thanks to Jay and Dave for the head's up on these!  I was able to nab the two droids and the 6" Fett, but TVC Fett was gone by the time I ordered at 8:15.  Hopefully Fett will still be available in store at some point.  I have to say, I'm really exhausted with all the online ordering.  I know some people are right on the ball with this stuff and probably prefer ordering from a PC or phone, but I've come to realize that a big part of collecting for me is the hunt/find.  Between not having my eyes glued to new SW information every second of the day and the relative bore of opening one figure per box and often finding them bent or smashed, my interest in collecting new stuff is at an all time low.

I caught a few clips this morning - I'll have to remember to watch for this on Mondays.  Not even sure if I get ESPN2...?

Using Hasbro Pulse as a guide, I'm surprised none of the pre-order items put out there have sold out.  Did they up the quantity of items available?  Are these figures not as popular as anticipated?
 Did people go and purchase more cases of figures than the ala cart figure option? Interesting to see which of these are correct.

That being said, I'm willing to bet if they didn't limit the number of troop builder packs they would've probably sold out.

I wish we had access to the production numbers.  I would think the way things have sold out the past few years, they're probably either making more or timing the pre-orders with production to allow them to make more if needed.  That 6" Endor set was a great example of how to do it: Offer up pre-orders for the first run of product to get it out there, then have another wave of unlimited pre-orders that you just convert to a production number once the preorder window closes.
