Anyone have an idea where we can buy the CoverGirl SW makeup? I remember that it was supposed to be released today as well, but I can't find it online. Maybe I'm trying to hard... maybe just my local CVS?!

By best guess is they are planing to have it some place else, but will have it.

I asked a couple of CM yesterday, they work all events and have known some for a couple of years. One was very hush hush "I don't know, we have to wait" the other said "Of course we'll have SWW next year" The shows will probably go into the new flex theater they are building behind ToT. Tomorrow when I go I plan on trying to get a picture of the progress of that theater

Apparently I'm not the only one looking... from Twitter...

   Hey @Covergirl any particular reason why it seems to be impossible to actually buy your new Star Wars collection?

Tervis sent out an email - 5 new Force Awakens tumblers released today on their site. I watched yulilin's video and didn't catch a glimpse of any Tervis. Here's the link:

I remember someone mentioning the LEGO Ewok Village the other day... don't know it they're hard to find at all these days but I did just see it on Target's site: http://www.target.com/p/lego-star-w...dSlot=medium_2_7&term=covergirl+force+awakens

I saw that last night, too, and was kinda giddy with excitement because it hasn't been in stores for so long and Lego no longer had it on their site as a current set. But I don't recall it being that expensive before...I thought it was in the $169 range? Does anyone who has it remember what they paid for it?

ETA: Huh, it's back on the Lego site, too. They must be re-starting production of it. Awesome...it will make a great Christmas gift!

ETA2: Guess not...the Lego site says it's not available and to check back in January. Grrr.

I believe Disney is going to break out everything they can this year for SWW. The number of Movies, Shows, Toys and everything else they have invested in SW and have a group of people almost begging them to take our money, it would be foolish for them not to have it. I know myself, I am planing to not only go to SWW but to increase the amount of time I am there do to SWW. My little amount of money doesn't amount to much for Disney but when you multiply that by the number of others that will be doing the same thing, the amount could end world hunger. And if they don't have SWW, more than likely I will not be going to Disney in 2016 or if I do, the number of days I spend there will be less.

LEGO Star Wars themed bday party for DS that year... my easy cake idea... those are chocolate LEGO blocks I made. I won't win a cake competition anytime soon, but it worked!

 

[Sammyjo199]

There are lots of cool cake ideas out there... everything from printed icing sheets that you can just stick on a sheet cake, to elaborate ideas for making / carving your own cake. We're big on theming the cakes in our house...!

We did this last weekend for my Husbands 40th birthday

Just got an email -- BB-8 pre-order at Discovery.com; ships Oct 2: http://store.discovery.com/detail.php?p=892555&ecid=EMC-DIS-001803&pa=EMC_DIS_20150904_BB8Preorder

ETA: I'm glad these retailers are advertising their pre-orders. Maybe that will leave those resellers I'm already seeing on Amazon -- selling BB-8 for twice the price -- out in the cold.

Zulily has a lot of SW stuff today too - force awakens stuff plus the usual stuff that they have often (and I am accumulating too much of). So loving the amount of girls stuff (even though I don't have a girl).

Hit up my target today. I may have just kept walking back and forth in front of the chewy that made noise just because it was funny. Got myself a shirt and pants, DS 3 new shirts. It's day 3 of school and he's worn SW shirts 2/3 days, lol.

The new grey haired Han Solo from the new Lego sets cracks me up!

Making ice this morning... thought I'd share with people who can really appreciate...

(gift from my sister from ThinkGeek a while back... Also great for chocolate!)

Those would make great molds for jigglers or jello shot (for the adults of course).

Thanks! DH & DD12 are huge SW fans. We will be there in March and are hoping that "early 2016" will include our dates! I would like to plan a weekend night around the fireworks, etc. and was hoping there might be the possibility to book a SW dining experience of some sort to go with it. Curse TPTB, why do they have to be so vague and slow to release details?! It makes life painful for an obsessive planner! LOL Guess I'll just have to leave a hole in our schedule and have a plan B in case it doesn't work out.

It is frustrating. I am planning a back-up vacation for March, just in case SWW doesn't happen for some reason. Disney doesn't even have remotely accurate times listed for DHS yet. They have it closing at 7pm in early March I guess everything is still up in the air. I don't know if they will do special meals for SOF, but I suspect they will do a package with fireworks, dessert party, and parade, if there is one. I think that's what they do for Frozen Summer Fun.

"pre-ordered" a bb8 just now from think geek. I don't need it until Christmas so I didn't bother to try and fine someplace with them still in stock. Figure others may need them sooner than me.

I am super excited to see new party stuff was released today as well. DS wants a star wars birthday party next month and the availability of party supplies was getting very sad. Most excited about the BB8 piñata for the party!!

We wont have a huge party but we will likely have SW movies, SW video games...including DSs present (infinity 3.0) going.

I need to download a good SW/space themed playlist for music. Any thoughts?

What else do I need for the ultimate 9 yo SW birthday party?

Where did you see the SW party stuff? DS wanted an SW party last year (it would have been his 2nd or 3rd one), but they were already discontinuing so many things. We did Minions instead.

 

[soniam]

How long does it take to freeze the death star? I am thinking of getting some for the party but want to have a good supply on hand so I will need to make them ahead of time. Also it one sufficient to keep a drink cold for a while?

I wonder if you could make death star popsicles with it. I don't know how you would get a stick in, so it might just be messy.

Party city online. Haven't check the store yet. It's all new force awakens party supplies. Only things I found Las week were Rebels.

There are light saber popsicle molds at think geek and amazon.

That flex theater looks great. I bet it's big and has AC. Perfect place for shows

Great cake! Reminds me of the R2D2 cake my mom made for me when I was a kid. I wish I had pictures of that. In my mind, it was completely awesome. Reality may be different, but that doesn't matter.

We are going there to look for a Jawa costume this weekend. I can report back. They didn't have any yet the weekend before last, but they were probably waiting for today.

Talk about mark-ups!

FYI, I just saw that brookstone now says bb-8 will ship on 10/1. I would guess that is the next shipment. BBB says sold out and won't even let me search by store. Still available on the sphero website though.

I was at the mall this morning, and Brookstone had BB-8 in stock...unless they were empty boxes. They had a whole display, but I didn't actually go in to look. Doesn't make sense they would have them in store but not shipping for a month?
