**Official** Star Wars at DHS, Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party/Galactic Nights/Launch Bay/JT

I'm apparently slow to news, but I had no idea stuff was being released anywhere other than DTD. Will Target/Wal-Mart be selling merchendise starting at midnight, and is it all the same stuff being sold as Disney (other than exclusive stuff like pins/magic bands ect).

I'm just wondering if it's stuff worth waiting up til Midnight for tonight or if it's just generic stuff that will be available pretty much any time.

I am not interested in those items, but do you happen to know if they still have the Ewok stuffed animals? ODS picked out Wicket for the baby, and now he is lamenting not having his own Ewok. I have been thinking about one for Christmas, but the Disney Store doesn't have them, and the park app only shows Wicket. If i could get ODS an Ewok, I would be happy to PP and be forever grateful!

just remembered I took a video of Once Upon A toy 2 weeks ago and they have Wicket and Logray

No one knows how fast some of these toys will sell out but I would expect they should have enough inventory to last until December, but there are some exclusives...for example the Disney Store has an elite series of action figures and costumes that are exclusive to the store.
I expect the lego sets will be very popular, the flying millennium falcon and x wing are very cool...
Look for your local target cause some of them are not doing midnight releases, also the Disney Store in my area (Orlando) is opening at 6am tomorrow and the first 100 people get a free pin. Toys R Us have free posters at midnight

Gizmodo has a pretty detailed review of the new BB-8, which I'd previously thought would be 'pretty cool', but after reading to review, has been upgraded to 'I have to have it!' lol. I'm just hoping it's available online somewhere, because I can't make it to any of the events tonight/tomorrow. I imagine we'll seeing a bunch of these rolling around SWW next May...

I think Best Buy will have them, if you really want one I would be on the computer at midnight to order it...there are rumors that it'll sell out very quickly

My message tone is the Star Tours bell, the one that sounds before you board the starspeeder

Were you able to find that somewhere, or did you have to make it yourself? Also, I don't know how many of us have Outlook 2013 either on their phones or computers, but the alert tone for new mail sounds A LOT like the Star Tours chime... Just sayin'....

It's from Zedge, it's a free app and you can download ringtones and wallpapers. I think I searched for Star Tours and it came up, or maybe I searched for Star Wars not sure.

Lego stores, maybe online too, will be giving away a free Star Wars poster for SW Lego purchases 9/21-27, so it's not for Force Friday.

I really wanted one before, but I absolutely have to have one, maybe two, now. DH and I are both going online tonight to try to get one. DS will be so thrilled to open his Xmas morning and then go see the movie that day. We are planning to see it Xmas day at our local dining theater, because we will be in Germany the day it's released through Xmas eve. I figure an Xmas meal can't get any better than if you are watching Star Wars while eating

Whoever gets a BB8 bring it to Orlando when you come so I can play with it

I bet DHS during SWW will be littered with BB8s. It will probably be hard to walk without stepping on one

I agree with Yuli that most stuff probably will not sell out. Obviously, if your are looking for the TRU poster, Disney Store pin, or Walmart trading cards, those are exclusive to Force Friday "while supplies last". The regular merch should be readily available.

Lego stores, maybe online too, will be giving away a free Star Wars poster for SW Lego purchases 9/21-27, so it's not for Force Friday.

They have been doing this over the last couple of months. This months is Ep3 I think. IIRC, they have done four or five posters already. This might be the last one.

camera is charged...I'm getting pictures of the merchandise being sold at Once Upon a Toy tonight and also I'll get pics of the merchandise at Watto's Grotto on Saturday...The Spending Awakens

Ok stop. Stop it. The sphero bb-8 makes noises?? Is this true??

Alright this just became a do or die mission. Anyone want to talk strategy? Best buy website at midnight the best shot?

I would try the big ones first, if you have more than one computer try different companies. Here's the list of retailers that will have BB8
