Yeah, that was painful to watch...I literally was worried he was going to keel over right there on stage. Who thought that was a good idea?

OMG, I had no idea you were linking to a Baby Metal video, you may have to change the title of the thread now to "Insanely Awesome **** frm the Internet"! 

I am a HUGE fan, there is nothing else like them out there anywhere. Just a crazy mash-up of everything I love - brutal guitar-shredding metal, cosplay, etc. I've always been super into Jap rock like Melt Banana and Super Junky Munky and this bunch just takes it to the next level.

Cannot wait for the triumphant US tour!

Saw another full case of this wave at Target today, including my first ever sighting of Plagueis on the pegs. Better late than never!

Ugh... brutal, brutal episode. So well done though, great acting by Melissa McBride. The kids on this show do such a great job too.

Pretty much knew it had to end that way with Lizzie, though I did not see that bit coming with Mika, super sad. Very Old Yeller at the end there, good for Carol taking care of the dirty work. Loved how they handled the confession scene with Tyreese, she just seemed totally spent and ready to die. They actually had me wondering at the end there too. Good way to wrap that up.

Next week looks awesome...

Congrats on finding these at retail dude, but you might want to broaden your horizons a bit.  If finding new 6" figures was truly your best morning ever and you're that concerned about being the first to report a find, you might be a little too obsessed.  Just sayin'.

Seriously? Not sure why you would feel the need to post something like that, I was just trying to be helpful by passing along some information that some people may have found useful.

"Best ___ ever" is a common expression and I am pretty sure 99.9% of people are astute enough to not take that literally.

My point about the store report was not some inane "hey look at me" self-wank, it was intended as an example of irony as I personally have been really diligent about looking for the first Target sightings to be reported online and as luck would have it I was the first one to stumble across them it would seem. I'm not looking for cheap applause here.

Sorry if I offended anyone, feel free to ignore my posts in the future.

Back on topic, I hit several other Targets this morning and did not see any other new cases of Wave 1 out and about yet, so I must have caught an early re-stock at the store yesterday.

SCORE!!!

Best morning ever! On the way in to work I happened to stop by a Target that is usually pretty consistent about stocking new stuff on Fridays. There was nothing new on the pegs but as I was exiting the toy section I spied a pallet of still unopened boxes and as luck would have it, one of them said "SW 6 in W 1 14" so with breathless excitement I ripped that box open right there on the spot, at first only seeing Han's extra hands, but then lo and behold STORMTROOPER! 

I went ahead and snagged Luke and Obi-Wan too in case I need to swap out the ones I ordered from HTS for better paint apps. My stormy looks a little wonky around the eyes too, so I may hold off on opening that if I can find a better one. (Hey, it could happen!)

Every night I go home and read all the SW forums for the first confirmed Target brick and mortar sighting of these, and lo and behold I end up being the one to break the news. (Mods feel free to run with this)

Happy hunting people!

Finally got lucky and snagged Cherno Alpha from TRU.com when he was in stock today, and by using that 20% off coupon included with their spring catalog it brought the price down to a more palatable $19.99. Happy to be done with the wave, although now that I've ordered them all online I'll probably see the lot this weekend at TRU. Would be fine with me, I would't mind an extra Cherno to open.

 

I'm wondering now if any of the people from Daryl's new group were in the house with Rick a few episodes back??

On TD, I literally did not even recognize the woman who played Sasha. She looked amazing, totally transformed.
