Star Wars The Last Jedi Pops

Postby **rowden** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 9:28 am

Was at TRU in San Diego. The shirts are cool, but the largest they had were XL (I wear a 2X) and only 2 Porg POPS!
On a bright note, 1 was CHASE! I finally got my 1st chase in the wild after 5 years of collecting!
I'll be heading over to Target later. I'll let ya'll know how it goes...

Usually there's a scrap or two left behind, but not today. I asked a manager if they had set up a display elsewhere in the store, and the response I got was: "Star Wars? All that stock is in the toy department. What's 'Force Friday'?"

WHAT'S FORCE FRIDAY??
I hope that you chopped him in half with your light saber for such foul blasphemy! :SW3:

Congrats! I checked out the Target near my house when they opened and they had a ton of Pops, including one chase Porg! It took some digging to find, but I was pumped! My second chase in the wild! :freddy2:

I plan on trying the Hot Topic in the outlet mall later today. Happy hunting everyone!

Apparently Funko made a million of these Porg chases or something? Every post I've seen online has a Porg chase find!

Got my Leia and two chase Porgs. TRU didn't have any exclusive Kylo Rens.

Hopefully they will have him later. They have been pretty good about stocking exclusives.

I ended up going to TRU last night. I snagged two Black Series and 7 of the common Pops (though I did see some guy running up front Chase in hand). Then I got to the register and they told me only 3 of each item type. So I left with 3 Pops instead of 7. At least I got a free shirt?

Congrats to everyone who scored a Porg chase!!!

CONGRATS! All porgs, even commons, are wiped out in my area. I'm checking Hot Topic and Gamestop when they open.

Congrats Rowden on the Chase. I was first in line at Target last night and unfortunately no chase, but I did get the Porg Exclusive and was able to order the Chewbacca Flocked FYE Exclusive, DJ Gamestop Exclusive and BB9 Box Lunch Exclusive so I'm happy.

Wow! I'm shocked they HAD the Porg exclusive! Was convinced it would be coming later like the TRU one seemingly is.

They actually had 6 last night so everyone who lined up to get it was able to get it.

I specifically went to TRU this time because last time the Target I went to had zero TFA Pops whatsoever. I chose poorly.

We were at one Target for midnight release and another at 8 am this morning and neither had a chase porg, at least that they put out. There was one exclusive that we saw last night but someone in front of us grabbed it.

Postby **jonboyatmu** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 12:09 pm

My Force Friday has been a mixed bag. Was about 30th in line at TRU and ended up getting a shirt and the poster but not much else. Didn't have exclusive in stock anyway, though. Then went to 4 different Wal-Marts. 1st picked over, 2nd untouched which gave me a Porg chase and the resistance BB unit. The other two didn't even have the Pop! display. No Leia at any of them.

This morning was first in line for Target. Got the Porg exclusive and lucked into 5 commons on "clearance" for $6 each. No chase there but I think that it was hidden as there were some spaces in the display that shouldn't have been there. Then swung by Wal-Greens but, as expected, nothing there.

Then I turned it over to the wife. She hit Hot Topic at opening. She was able to get the regular flocked Porg but she was literally passed over by the clerk to have the chase handed to the lady behind her. She was absolutely furious. I don't think I have ever heard her so mad. She did get some redemption, however, when she went down to GameStop and picked up the DJ and another chase Porg.

I have been able to order the BL BB-9e as there are none close to me and the flocked Chewie is being held for me at FYE.

So all in all, I can't complain. Just waiting on TRU and WM to get their exclusives and, hopefully, for the Walgreens to go up online.

Postby **PopGoestheJess** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 12:18 pm

Did anyone get the TRU Kylo? The only ones I've seen on Instagram have been in the UK.

Postby **Zypher** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 12:43 pm

I didn't see the Box Lunch Exclusive BB-9E at 2am, but they had it just now. I ordered the Loungefly purse earlier because why not, but I just ordered two chrome BB-9E (got a second just in case someone needs one). $\:D/$

Also "preordered" my BB-8 and BB-9E off Amazon. Thankfully I stick to my BB-8s only or my bank account would be non existent! I hope BB-9E doesn't suck because apparently he's joining my BB-8 collection. lol

Postby **ray1345** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 1:21 pm

I just ordered the BB-9E Chrome Box lunch exclusive. Can't wait for it, very shiny! Now I just need a snoke to replace my prototype $\:D/$

Im gonna hit Walgreens and try to find the Praetorian Guard with the whip

Postby **newhousebailey** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 1:27 pm

Went to the Hot Topic at the outlet mall and they didn't get any of the exclusives. Was hoping to quest for a flocked chase, but the employee was really nice and I will have to just check back at a later date. I might order one online when they show up on Hot Topic's website. Congrats to everyone finding what they wanted!

Postby **Whitetiger217** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 1:58 pm

I just came from a Target in San Diego and they had a ton of Porgs + the Porg exclusives.

Postby **tyler_v2** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 2:08 pm

Hit up Hot Topic in Hollywood this morning. Got both Porg Chase and Flocked Chase! No luck at Target, Walmart or TRU.

Postby **HockeyDad** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 2:18 pm

Went to Walmart last night. Got Leia and Resistance BB ... but struck out at TRU and Target. This morning, waited at Hot Topic at 6am ... got Porg Chase, Porg Flocked, and Porg Flocked Chase. Also got the DJ Gamestop Exclusive thanks to some friends. Things are looking brighter

Postby **Whitetiger217** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 2:36 pm

I wasn't a huge fan of the flocked Porg. His coloring seemed so off compared to the normal one!

Postby **Zypher** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 2:37 pm

I'm going to the mall later. I may swing by Hot Topic and see what they have that I could help with.

Postby **emcee** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 3:04 pm

Woohoo! Got the last flocked chase Porg at HT today. Man these flocked pop prices are skyrocketing, the retail price that is.

I do not think the Walgreens exclusives (the guards) are out yet. I thought I saw Oct...but still, it doesn't hurt to check.

Postby **KMFH11** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 3:20 pm

Well I struck out a bit. Went to target and walmart...got nothing. Checked hot topic....huge line, got nothing lol

it's ok though I'll get what I want eventually.

Postby **KMFH11** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 3:22 pm

I got my fye order in. And I ordered the Wal-Mart bb8 and the box lunch exclusive. I might go try hot topic tomorrow and buy the commons there

Postby **JohnnyPOP** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 3:40 pm

So we didn't get any exclusives meaning no one came in looking for Pops at BN today lol

but I was actually surprised we didn't get any of the four main characters from this movie. We got 4 Porgs, 3 Kylo Rens, 3 BB-8s, 3 evil BB-8s, 2 Praetorian Guards, 1 Rose, 1 Galen Erso, and 1 of whoever that was that came out with him that wasn't young Jyn. But none of the main ones. No Finn, no Poe, no Rey, no Luke. Not even any Phasma (which is surprising since that book came out today. (30% off!!!)) But I managed to get the Rose at least and one of the BB-8's since I skipped him in the TFA set.

I'll grab the others I want later, I guess, and hopefully also track down Leia and DJ.

Postby **newhousebailey** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 3:47 pm

I heard that people have found Chase Porgs at Kohls. Might be worth checking out as they are getting a display of Star Wars toys.

Postby **mactds** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 4:15 pm

Went to Khols, found the section, fresh assortment, only 2 porg, no chase. Tried target, they got a fresh case from the back, no chase. Oh well, got flocked chewie and chrome bb-9, my two main wants.

Postby **cptsailor** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 4:34 pm

I had my best luck at Barnes & Noble along with Kohl's.

Where did you order the Walmart BB unit? I didn't see anything on their website earlier.

Jaybros82, let me know if there are something that you didn't get. I tried to get multiples just in case people weren't able to get a certain exclusive.

Postby **HockeyDad** » Fri Sep 01, 2017 6:08 pm

So far, my favorite character from Force Friday is the Praetorian Guard. The Walgreens Exclusives are going to be amazing. On top of that, all of the stuff the other manufacturers did are really cool. Exciting day ... that's for sure!

THANK YOU!! I have no idea why he didn't turn up in my search earlier! Ordered two for store pickup in case someone needs one or a box is damaged. $\:D/$

I've gone to Target and Walmart so far. All the commons were on sale at Target for $4 a piece, so I splurged. No Porg exc, though. Walmart had what I needed. Now to my GS and HT to look for Flocked Porg and the chases!

$4 a piece?! Holy cow! I feel like a sucker for paying full price at TRU and GameStop. lol
