Hi everyone. I've been lurking since last year's SWW and the sheer kindness of the amazing people on this thread drew me out.

I just wanted to say if you still want a BB8 don't give up quite yet. I just picked mine up from the local BBB that's a little out of my way. I was able to reserve it last night at 9 right before closing and waltzed right up to guest services to claim him this morning. Of course they wouldn't give him to me without speaking in a Yoda voice. I'm ok with that. Try the out of the out of the way places. They were only given 8 in store and I purchesed the 4th.

I love lurkers thanks for the info.
Just came back from DHS and checked out Watto's Grotto, not the same amount of merchandise as SWW but it's still a nice place to check out. All the Force Awakens stuff is there plus build a droid and build a lightsaber. Tattooine Traders only has a small corner with Force Awakens stuff. Also Build a lightsaber has the new piece to build Kylo Ren's lightsaber pictures to come soon

Here are pictures of the merchandise sold at Watto's Grotto. And some pics from Tattooine Traders and Once Upon a Toy

CM had BB8 out and were playing, and allowing guest to play with him at Watto's, very cool. The LE pins are selling out quick, there's a limit of 2 and are only found at Watto's and Once Upon a Toy. The Vinylmation that sold out in 5 minutes during the Force Friday event is back at Once Upon a Toy, I was able to get the $50 refunded to my cards with no issue

 

[yulilin3]

Wasn't someone looking for this during SWW? There's about 10 of these left at Tattooine Traders

Nice pics, yulilin! I hope the BB-8 shirts are still there in a couple of weeks. It finally dawned on me that I'll be back in February for the Princess 10K... and will need a SW shirt to wear when in Studios because Season will/should be happening then!

Which BB-8 shirt did you choose?

Very nice! I looked at some shirts yesterday at Penney's: Men's were 2 for $20 and Juniors were $11.99... but nothing looked as good as the two you have! And, you'll be happy to know I am able to identify the Rebel symbol on your shirt!

Are you using your Jedi mind tricks on the sellers

I see some of the shirts that I bought DS online. I got the black one with Kylo Ren & his lightsaber for myself. I was disappointed in the BB-8 shirt options. I think there was only one I did get it for DS. I liked the black and grey old school women's Star Wars shirt too. They didn't have it online. Also the droid and stormtroopers in earhats are great. I probably would have gotten one if they had been online. Actually, it's probably good they didn't have all of this online

Love this shirt. This is the best BB-8 shirt I have seen yet. It's very retro/70s looking.

I loved that BB8 one too. Actually wearing it tonight to go see my son and his band play at Dexters
If you see anything from Disney that you would like to buy send me a pm and we can work something out.
Have a great long weekend everyone

Saw these guys at the Times Square Toys R Us today. There and Disney Store Times Square sold out of Sphero BB-8 and every Rey doll/figure. Had a conversation with a CM used to selling princess stuff and SUPER EXCITED about now selling SW stuff to girls. We talked about how we hope this sellout on Rey items will tell Disney something about demand from girls... and for things that are NOT pink or purple...

I don't mind purple. It can be kind of dark and mysterious, like Malificient, but pink I am hoping that Rey is the female SW character that I can get behind. Padme is ok, but a little whiny. Leia is a little better, but still doesn't quite do it for me. I like Sabine, but she's too young for me. I really like Hera, but they just don't have anything for her

So I'm confused about Captain Phasma. I know a woman plays the character, but the costumes they just put out seem to be geared towards men. Im curious to see if she will have any lines or take her helmet off during the movie or if they will ever make reference to her being a woman?

 

[Dittz]

Okay need some help. I don't know a lot about Star Wars (movies books) and want to get in the loop before SWW/TFA. I have only seen the 6 movies. Which TV shows are there how many seasons of each and order do they go so I can start watching them. I figured I'd ask here instead of searching all over Google. Thank you everyone.

We saw the voice changer helmet, they have it at the Disney Store in the mall and her voice is female. So that's way we know for sure. There was a whole uproar from fans that wanted her armor to have more womanly shape but I'm completely Ok with it being the way it is, we don't need to see breast shapes and an hourglass figure to know it's a woman. That's just my opinion.
Also I was looking for Rey and Phasma figures and they are all sold out...they need to understand that women and girls make 50% of the SW/Marvel?geekdom market. For example we went to watch my son's band play last night and met a 20 year old girl co-worker of his and my daughter and her started talking...well the entire conversation was about Marvel characters, and they showed pictures of Marvel things they had on their phone while all the guys (4 of them) were just completely clueless of what was going on...Plus who is most likely the person that goes buys merchandise for their family? Don't you think if you had some cool designs for women and girls we would buy it as opposed to mens/boys clothes?
Ok, I'm done

Playing right now is Rebels on Disney XD. They started their second Season last week. I would watch this first since it looks like it'll have a bigger presence in the parks very soon (New JTA show)
The other show is Star Wars The Clone Wars, this show actually is over but there are 3 seasons and it started with a movie that was released in theaters (not many people watched it, I did and I liked it)
If you really want to be in the loop I would watch the entire Clone Wars series first and then Rebels just because some characters from Clone Wars jumped into Rebels and you would understand more of what's happening.

I am glad they are not making Captain Phasma's armor more "girly". It is armor!
Pad a started off pretty strong but became such a weak character by the third movie.
I think Leia is a good strong character. She can certainly stand up for herself.
I am really looking forward to learning more about Rey!

We went to Wotto's Grotto last night around 6:45. It was empty of people. Not a ton of stuff but still fun to look around.

Ugh, Padme. Now, I've never had kids, but from what I've heard from moms, having two kids is certainly worth living for. Not abandoning your newborn kids because you have a 'broken heart' from your epic romance with a weird, evil stalkerish little boy who doesn't like sand (yep, those are my thoughts).

While I'm ranting...I am so hoping that Rey can be the first female SW main character who does not have to do the skimpy outfit. If we can just get through this trilogy without her in a slave bikini or a magically ripped up skin tight white bodysuit, I'll be happy. Sorry, guys.

Hera is top of my list too. I always wanted to be a pilot. Plus, she owns Chopper.

Anakin's thought on sand: It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
I totally agree about Padme.
BTWQ were you the one searching for the Zeb/Chopper vinyl set during SWW this year? I know someone on the thread wanted it and was sold out but don't remember who

Zam Wessel isn't too bad, but she wears pink Padme is a horrible example of how women don't need a man to define them

I was looking for a female SW costume, and my choices were regular Leia, sexy Leia, sexy Padme, sexy Han, sexy Vader, sexy Boba, or sexy Sabine. Rey, which was not overly sexy, was on back-order until 10/23 What is that telling the costume makers? They did have a Jedi costume, but DS wanted me to be a Jawa. So, that's what I went with and will probably have to cut the length.

I don't know if you can say that Hera owns Chopper though. Does anyone really own some of these droids, or do the droids own the people

Anakin's thought on sand: It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

Exactly That's the best description of Padme that I have ever heard
