Too funny!!!

I had a Sebulba "Poodoo!" meme ready to go if I got the other email.

 

[Jfsag123]

Just got an email saying it shipped, arriving tomorrow.

Sorry guys!

Ha! No worries. I'm happy for you! I just checked a few stores around me and came up with nothing. Ordered through the Sphero site, which says expected shipment in October. I guess we'll see...

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

DS built a Kylo Ren light saber there on Saturday. Not sure who was more excited about it....DS or DH. But I can tell you who's been playing with it more (hint: it's not DS!!)

Good selection at Watto's Grotto, but as others have mentioned, not as much as during SWW. Just nice to have an option besides Tattoine Traders, that place is always so crowded! Watto's Grotto was practically empty!

I GOT A BB-8!

I walked into Meijer to do my grocery shopping and there were 4 just sitting there. I thought I was being punk'd for a moment!

Now I have to hide it until christmas because it's what my 6 year old is asking Santa for. Surely he won't know if I open it and play with it until then while he's at school, right?!

you DO have to make sure t works properly...I say it's common sense and good parenting to open it, play with it, test it out, play with it, charge it fully, play with it...

@mesaboy2 I liked the shipping part not the guilt on your post. Share pics and videos if you can

I liked the guilt part. I love Rex

Our BB-8 was shipped from BBB Friday night and should be here tomorrow. Unfortunately, he's a birthday gift for DH, who's birthday is at the end of October. But I should probably check to make sure he's working properly before I give him as a gift, right??

Lol - I read that as soon as I posted! Clearly we must all protect the integrity of our gifts

I got one! On a whim, I called the Radio Shack around the corner to see if they had any. The guy said that they had actually gotten a shipment in about 10 minutes before I called - he hadn't even put them out yet. The ones they got from Friday had long since sold out. He set one aside for me and I flew out to the store to grab it. He said people had been calling/stopping by looking for them consistently and I had lucked out with my timing. Woot!

I ordered BB8 from the sphero site on the 4th as well. It didn't say anything about October arrival date when I ordered, just that I would get an email when it ships. I haven't received the email yet so I'm a bit worried. Fingers crossed for some pixie dust & it arrives before DS bday on the 25th!

That's better then the adult Rey costume I wanted to get for Halloween. It was on backorder until 10/23. Talk about cutting close.

They just do this to drive us nuts, don't they?

Speaking of costumes, do adults ever dress up for SWW at WDW? Is it even allowed? The only time I know of for adults to dress up is MNSSHP. Probably best to just stick with some good Disney bounding.

Yes. You will see many people dressed up in full costumes for SWW. Many people Disneybounding. Many people with just t-shirts. And many people not dressed up at all.

One year, we saw a guy dressed up in full Jack Sparrow regalia. He really played the part, too. I couldn't believe they let him in the park considering Jack Sparrow has absolutely nothing to do with Star Wars.

yes they do no problem. As long as your eyes are not obstructed that you can't see you're fine.

I got my son the remote control one from Target. As soon as we decide that is definitely what Santa is bringing him, I will have to open it and test. I'll post, too, so people can compare to Sphero's.

Has anyone gotten or seen the build-a-blade in action? We watched the Hasbro video, but I'd prefer some real world experience.

Got standard form letter response from Amazon... BB-8... blah blah blah... our supplier can't tell us when... Blah blah blah... we're sorry... Blah blah blah... upgraded to next day shipping. Wonderful. That takes care of it. :-/

I got it for my son he is 5..he loves it and it easy for them to use with little fingers. and all other NEW lightsabers you will be able to use with the set..even his kylo ren saber is a blade builder too so he can use it with the set too
