Snagged Grevious at Best Buy. Such a sick fig. Top contender for 2019 figure of the year, that’s for sure!

Episode I 20th figures are going to be on Hasbro Pulse at 1pm ET for anyone who wants a shot at them. I’ll try for at least Darth Maul.

Uhm, was it just me or did Obi-Wan sell out in one second?

Obi-wan was gone in a blink. I had both in my cart. Obi went out first and it delayed my checkout. Couldn’t get through the checkout process fast enough to even get Maul. So that sucked.

I wouldn't have known about if I hadn't seen punksnotdead's post. I think I would've had Maul, but dumped him when Obi-Wan sold out at checkout. Pretty sure they actually went up around 1:05 because I kept refreshing.

I was in 2 minutes after the hour and they were gone. Had them in the cart and everything. Just another item to be grabbed up by all the bots and sold on eBay.

On a good note, I was happy Commander Gree has been listed for preorder at Big Bad, Dorkside, etc. I never saw him at TRU. Obi-Wan and Darth Maul in the Phantom Menace packaging were on Hasbro Pulse. I wouldn't have known about if I hadn't seen punksnotdead's post. I think I would've had Maul, but dumped him when Obi-Wan sold out at checkout.

Just another item to be grabbed up by all the bots and sold on eBay. Pulse has been limiting everything to two per customer, but I guess these weren't. Several new "Pre-order" listings on ebay. One guy has five sets.

Grabbed the Grand Moff Tarkin Retro from the board game. This is a really cool add since we never got him. I don’t think the figure is Kenner quality but at least we have them. Kind of a similar deal to the Mattel WWE Retro like where if we can get guys we needed it’s a win.

That’s really cool. Didn’t know that was a thing. Are they doing others?

That’s really cool. Didn’t know that was a thing. Are they doing others? Han, Chewie, Luke, Leia, Vader and a Stormtrooper are the first wave. They’re exclusive to Target starting May 12th but apparently they’ll be available at other places later in the year. www.target.com/s?searchTerm=star+wars+retroGMT comes with the remake of the Death Star game. So far he’s the only non straight remake figure, but he should be on shelves now for most people. www.target.com/p/star-wars-game/-/A-75665073

When I walked back to the toy aisle that day I didn’t see them in either place either and I think the online showed they had 3 in-stock. I’ve been checking both areas this last week with no luck. So the online option was a win.

The individual figures and board game are supposed to be stocked on 5/12. I don't think it's a street date restriction, just a shelf date. I stopped in Target yesterday on my lunch break because popfindr said they had one game in stock. I was going to leave after not finding one on the shelf, but an associate offered up some help and I gave her the dpci. Her handheld showed one in the back with the 5/12 date. I didn't bother to ask if she could pull it because I was pressed for time and it's something I can wait for. I'm not sure she would have checked the back anyways because the date gave her an easy way out. I would have done one day pick up if Target.com offered it for my store. Other stores in my area offer it. Maybe because my store only had one left and they don't much leeway for an inventory error?

Other stores in my area offer it. Maybe because my store only had one left and they don't much leeway for an inventory error? From what I've gathered from online reports, Target's system had everything locked out until 5/1, but then the shelf date is still 5/12 for the Retro figures, trash compactor Luke, and TVC Stormtrooper Han. People have reported being able to buy the Retro singles post 5/1 at stores that have put them out early. I didn't realize the game was like that though since there is no date attached to it on Target's site. If you go to the link you can do site-to-store and there are no dates listed. Which is different than the other figures. I'm wondering if we see some kind of reset or end cap display for them by Monday.
