Postby **DarthSnow** » Mon May 04, 2015 12:41 pm

I was able to grab a whole (all but R2-B1 were for a buddy and the Droid was all mine). Surprisingly they had atleast 3 of each figure and I was the only one waiting outside with my wife and kid for these lol

she was making fun of me for it

Good luck and happy hunting everyone and May the 4th be with you SW5

Yep, I was there when they opened the store. The 6-pack cases were sitting on the back counter, so I got my choice of all of them. Looked like only 1 case for each of the 4 though, but not sure. Really helpful employee there who I'd not seen before.

Then I went to Barnes and Noble and saw 2 Greedos (after cancelling my just-filled BBTS preorder), so I grabbed one of those and a Slave Leia as well. It was a relief to see that Greedo.

Pretty good kickoff for the 4th.

In line 30 minutes before the open

Let me rephrase, I am the line, no one else is here, score! lol

Same with the Gamestop i went to, 4 sets but only 2 Figrin...got there early and was first in.

Postby **Blake85** » Mon May 04, 2015 12:52 pm

Good thing about my area no one really collects pops.
Went after ten and picked up the first set on display

I bribed my mom to go wait since my wife and I both work days, let's see how she does. :p

Postby **nerdandcheese** » Mon May 04, 2015 1:22 pm

I got there right as they opened. There was one other guy before me. He bought a set. They only had 2 Figrin D'an but quite a few of the others. All stashed behind the counter.

Lucky Huse! I took off on my lunch break and got there exactly at 10am but 3 in front of me all bought complete sets and the third guy used his wife or girlfriend or whatver she was and told the GS employee she collects her "own" and he needs a set for himself and of course the employee gave it to him which I cant blame him of course, needless to say when I got up next no more chewys

got a Han Solo and droid. It was so hard to keep the "come on thats a straight up lie" comment to myself but hey its all about bad luck and good luck sometimes. glad I was able to at least get 2 of them AND still make it back to work in time. I was the only guy in slacks and shirt in tie in there LMAO

Which GS did you go to?

Postby **Bamapop** » Mon May 04, 2015 1:34 pm

Went to my local store at noon and they hadn't even brought them out yet. Got all four, not many collectors in southeast Alabama apparently.

Postby **mszeidel** » Mon May 04, 2015 1:38 pm

I got 3 out of the 4, missing the droid. Hitting up a couple other stores after work.

Postby **dedboy** » Mon May 04, 2015 1:39 pm

I was able to grab all four between the 2 local gamestops in my area, since only one of them had Figrin D'an!

Postby **pezman** » Mon May 04, 2015 1:39 pm

Got all 4. Went at lunch and the guy said he forgot to put them out. Went in back and brought out a box. Only one Dan in it though.

Postby **dedboy** » Mon May 04, 2015 1:51 pm

Also, if anyone needs any help getting any one of these (besides Figrin D'an), lmk and I'll make a stop after work tonight to see what my local shops have left!

Postby **S3TH_** » Mon May 04, 2015 2:03 pm

Went to my GameStop around 2½ hours after it opened and saw a bunch of the exclusives behind the counter, didn't even look like someone bought any. But I only ended up buying R2-B1 and Chewbacca because I only wanted R2 in the first place, and Chewie was for my brother.

Postby **matrixman9** » Mon May 04, 2015 2:19 pm

Only wanted R2 and Figrin. Went to one store where the girl in front of me bought 2 of everything, so no Figrin for me or the girl behind me. Got the R2 there. Went to another gamestop about 15 minutes away and it was untouched. Got Figrin, and they still had another one.

Postby **philifan313** » Mon May 04, 2015 2:22 pm

i feel horrible... went to GS which was literally across the street from wk. I noticed 3 other cars waiting for the store to open so I logically stepped outta the car and waited and sure enough everyone followed suit. asked the employee who then went to the back and pulled out 4 boxes. only 2 d'ans, 3 chewies and a crap ton of hans and droids. when reality set in, the 3 groups of people behind me sighed knowing they wouldn't get the whole set. oh well, first come first serve right?

ps, right as I left the store some guy opened the door for me and realized they were gone, groaned, and got back in his car and left.

Postby **2moar** » Mon May 04, 2015 2:23 pm

managed to get all 4. Surprised to see they were almost out of Chewies.

Postby **Legion Of Boom** » Mon May 04, 2015 2:35 pm

Got to one store about 45 mins after they opened and was the first to buy any of the fgures...so was lucky enough to grab a whole set!

Postby **Crushphoto** » Mon May 04, 2015 2:37 pm

My local store had all 4. Only one of Figrin though. I left him for someone who really wants him since I only wanted Han and Chewie. Nabbed the last Chewie though!

Postby **Pobble** » Mon May 04, 2015 2:50 pm

My son stopped by when they opened this morning. He said they only had a few of each and they were behind the registers, none on the floor. The employee told him 2 of the droids were to fill preorders, so only one for sale

Postby **arcades** » Mon May 04, 2015 3:01 pm

I got mine rite when it opened. I was the second guy there. They didnt have any figrins so I asked to call if any other stores had any and only 1 out of three stores had 1. I put that sucker on hold and picked it up fast. Then I seen that same guy at the first gamestop looking for it. I got the last one. I hope that guy got his the last i seen him he had gamestop calling other stores.

This is in the ie southern california.

Postby **Mr_Conejo** » Mon May 04, 2015 3:08 pm

I was nervous going heading to GS as we left kinda late hometo the store, but to my surprise I was first and only in line before store opened, I can say we scoooored a set for us.

congrats to everyone getting them .

Postby **Valde** » Mon May 04, 2015 3:21 pm

I was the only one who asked about the Pops as of Saturday, my mom went there at 10 since I was working and she got me all 4.

Postby **jedik6** » Mon May 04, 2015 3:31 pm

I'm a girl and I would've said the same thing - don't think so ladies, force be with you too and bolted past them. Not gonna let them try to get away with that nonsense esp. if they weren't the only cute girls in line. Ha! Wouldn't let them stand between me and my SW pops!

Postby **chriskrispy** » Mon May 04, 2015 3:49 pm

Got Han, Chewie, and R2. I think they had Figrin, but I wasn't really needing him. No competition here in Southern Illinois!

Postby **lovemypops!** » Mon May 04, 2015 4:55 pm

I called GS Sunday to see if they would hold me a set (and they wouldn't) but the guy did tell me that each store would only get 2 of Figrin. I went and picked up a set this morning (1 person in front of me but she wanted the exclusive Star Wars comic book). I tried to buy both Figrins but he would only sell me 1 (which was cool, at least no flippers could buy the whole inventory). I asked if they would put these on their website to sell and he went and checked on his computer and he said they were already sold out (not sure why they are pictured on line if they aren't going to put them up for sale).

Postby **synergy56** » Mon May 04, 2015 5:07 pm

Luckily I only wanted a Han, since I couldn't go until lunchtime. I called the store closest to work and they had 5 each of Han and the droid, but wouldn't hold one for me. Ran over there and I got to look through all of the 5 Han's they had and only one of them had acceptable paint for me. So happy to have gotten him - had no idea they were going to be so hard to get.
