So I just got back from Wal Mart and found 2 awesome Force Awaken shirts and was so excited, then when I went to check out they didn't let me buy them. They told me they were recalled because it was a mistake they were out

I like that BB8 shirt. Bummer you couldn't buy it

Not force awakens specific but we got the following shirts for our son for back to school. (Actually gramma bought 3of them). 3 from Walmart and 1 from old navy.

Which merchandise event is this? I'm a bit out of the loop.

Force Friday on 9/4. They are charging $50, and I think it's at DTD. It gives you first access to the new Force Awakens merchandise. Toys R Us, Target, and I think Walmart are also doing special events Friday for it. I like the bag. I hope they make something like that available for purchase. It might work for a purse, which I am still trying to find

I think the fastest seller here is going to be the magic bands

My dh is 501st and he's trooping at one of the stores! He's pretty excited about it.

Well, even though it was a non-answer, you have to credit Disney CS...albeit a bit creepy they can call us without a phone number which has happened to me before, too. I would be utterly shocked if they ended SWW 1) as the franchise is essentially relaunching and 2) before the new land is up and running. That would make zero sense from a business stand point. I do wonder more about what will happen once the land opens though. Of course, half of us will have died from old age by then, so who knows.

I was about to run out the door to Walmart right now to get ODS a BB8 water cup. That stinks they didn't let you buy it! I may or may not have made a real stink had that happened to me. Let the SW fan win...

So what do you think the chances are of them releasing the force awakens Halloween costumes this year? My son would most definitely want a Kylo Ren costume...

 

[msmama]

My local Disney store is having an event before store opening on Saturday for force Friday (But I guess Saturday since its for kids, lol). My target is also having something Saturday at 11.

I would think they would have them already since Halloween is like 60 days away.......but you never know

It's probably a long shot...but I'm hoping they release something else Star Wars related on the Disney website. With marketing for Star Wars in overdrive right now only having Vader and Leia as options seems kinda weak to me. I got something from Chase a few weeks ago talking about Halloween costumes on the Disney store being released in September...let's hope we get a nice surprise!

Are there pictures or descriptions anywhere of the magic bands? The only SW one that I could find now is Luke.

By the way, if you already buy too many things from the Disney Store, DON'T download the parks shopping app. I had heard about it but thought it was just an app for the Disney Store. Unfortunately no. I now need an emoji of money flying away like from Monopoly. It's an app showing merch available at stores at WDW, that's not usually available from the Disney Store, even online. My bank account didn't need that at all. My Disney Visa card will be very happy though and probably rack up a bunch more reward points It's looking like another Disney xmas here. Yes, that's what I am doing, buying xmas presents

I have found more from Party City (local and online) and Costumes Express (online), but nothing from the new movie. They did have some Rebels costumes though, including the Inquisitor I think.

@ethanwa has posted some info on his MagicBandcollectors.com site. The MBs won't be exclusive to the event and will continue to be sold beyond that event date:

I am so glad you mentioned that. We have a Disney store by us and I didn't even think of it. A big DUH moment for me. I am going to check it out. Thanks

 

[Skywise]

Anybody else getting the Disney Infinity 3.0 stuff tomorrow? (Yes I preordered last week... I figured I was going to get it eventually so might as well get the bonus token! )

If you have a Disney Visa, they are doing a party at some of the Disney Stores on 9/5. I got an email invite. I think you have to RSVP to attend.

I have it pre ordered for my son, but he won't be getting it until his birthday in October. He knows he is getting it as he got the last 2 versions both as birthday gifts. Last year it was wrapped and waiting on the table for him to walk in the door from our trip to WDW, as we had spent his entire birthday driving home. It was really hard to keep him from buying himself the game while we were in WDW, as he had saved more than enough birthday, Christmas and allowance money to spend.

I have offered for him to come with me when I go to get it and he can purchase some more of the characters for himself with his allowance money.
