Star Wars Celebration Orlando Predictions

[xbox_jeff]

Woke up at 6am Eastern Time, and Thrawn was available. Ordered it, entered all Credit Card info, and almost 11 hours later still haven't gotten a confirmation e-mail, and the order status is pending with my credit card. Just checked the TRU website and he is out of stock.

I am scared to death that I am going to get the dreaded Order Cancelled email. Thrawn has been one of my favorite Star Wars characters since the 90's and is the only one of these Pops I give a damn about. The wait for the confirmation e-mail is freaking killing me.

You may not like my answer, but, its info nonetheless, I checked out about 3:30am PST (6:30 EST) and got confirmation almost immediately. Given you ordered yours before that, fingers crossed its just a lost email notification.

I still haven't got my shipping confirmation on Rey but got the order confirmation. Should I be concerned?

[Greeryboy2410]

Decided to bite the bullet and order Thrawn from Popcultcha. Takes some weight off waiting for FPI, but still needing them for Garindan, Rey and Qui Gon. I could've got them from PC too, but import tax isn't fun :/

[bryan_sato54]

I guess april 16 is the waiting game for qui gon

but very happy to get the han solo and leia at the stores today

[bryan_sato54]

Might need to order the new smuggler bounty subscription for new hope...

Mine hasn't shipped, either. My order was placed at 12:06 PST.

Same! So I'm pretty sure we got her..hopefully.

Walmart is pretty slow on shipping, I wouldn't be worried yet

[wraithkelso]

yeah, I got my order confirmation at 12:14 am, still just says processing, crossing fingers no issues with my order

[blockablelaser]

Mine says shipped now.

[hothzambonidriver]

BIG thank you to all who posted when things went online! I was able to get everything I wanted except the Clone Trooper from fye, so pretty successful day! Plus I picked up an extra Thrawn and Garindan for a fellow collector and friend who was looking.

I'm kinda bummed about Gamestop. They used to be so reliable with convention exclusives being pretty easy to get online. Hope this isn't an indication of their future con exclusives. Their ECCC one was pretty difficult to find in stores as well, wasn't it? This isn't official by any means but when I was calling around lookig for Luke one of the Gamestops said that they weren't going to be restocked or available online. That the few they got in store today was it. Hopefully that employee was wrong, but that is what they said.

I was told the same thing. The employee that checked me out said that this was going to be a tough one to get.

[synergy56]

I'm kinda hoping maybe Gamestop just ordered less for this particular convention because they had so many for the last SWC that I think they're still available online. So maybe this lack of quantity is just a one time aberration from Gamestop and they will be back in form for SDCC. Fingers crossed.

I overslept this morning and got to the mall about 40 min late, but HT had a ton of Han and Chopper Pops, so I was still able to get my Han, which was my #2 want behind Rey. I passed on Chopper. Despite arriving late, I was actually the first person to buy one there. Looks like there isn't much interest in my area for these. I also checked FYE and GS at the same mall, but neither one had any of their shared exclusives. No surprise there. I also bought a few GotG Vol 2 PSHs and an issue of Empire magazine at the B&N at that mall. After that I decided to check Target and Walmart just for the heck of it. Nothing. I did get a pack of Rogue One Series 2 trading cards at Target and some snacks from Walmart, so it wasn't a total loss. After that I bought some General Tso's Chicken and a couple of egg rolls for lunch. It was a good day.

I got my shipping notification from Walmart for Rey at 5 PM. She's officially on her way.

I might try for QGJ again on Monday. Might be the exclusive I like 3rd most, but is not a must-have like Rey and Han were.

They still have a few of their SDCC Exclusives leftover as well, so that might affect how much they get for this year.

Thanks! Just placed an order!

[popfanboy]

Yesterday was a pretty good day for me at SWC. Got to meet Sully and Mark, hang out at the LEGO booth, work the JMD booth, and got to grab some exclusives from Funko. When I went to the booth around 3 after I ate lunch the line was shorter than the Papa John's line Made sense though as all they had left were the Hikari and Jabba plush. Got those 3 exclusives and man that Jabba plush is so cool!

[POPtor WHO]

I did pretty well yesterday. ordered Garindan and Thrawn before leaving the house. hit Target, no Qui-Gon on the floor but I found a WWE Elite Demon Finn Balor to add to that collection. Headed over to TRU, no POPS there but scored the 6" 40th Anniversary Leia and R2 (BOGO40%) along with exclusive Marvel Legends Groot and Hoth Leia went live while I was there so I ran to the front of the store (to get cell reception) and got that order in.

Next I hit the (bleh) mall and grabbed Chopper and Han along with the Queen of Hearts and some Loyal Subjects GI Joe (Major Bludd and Cobra Trooper) and TMNT Donatello (dupe ). scored 2 more Hot Cash. Then I had to go to work...out at 5 and hauled@ss to GS since the site said they had Jedi Luke in stock. got the last one and since the BOGO promo is running I grabbed the (just in that day) Exclusive Devil Jin (Tekken) POP, which looks AMAZING btw. didn't try for Rey, 442 Clone or any of the other Celebration exclusives but I got everything I was "needed"

all in all, a great day...although I think I collect way too many lines

[The Head]

I did pretty well yesterday. The only exception is Rey, which I am still holding out hope for. I will definitely be trying for Qui Gon on Monday before work...here's hoping they have them and know what the heck I'm talking about. They have been pretty good lately, but sometimes they are slow.

[Zorn88]

Is there a link for Qui Gon floating around in this thread?

[FunkoETC]

Anybody else sad that the SWC FYE Clone trooper sold out in minutes??? Im sure as hell disappointed

[PhasmaPop]

The clone trooper didn't sell out in minutes though. It's been going in and out of stock since it went live yesterday. I got one on one of its restocks.

[Chase Variant]

Just got my shipping notice for Thrawn.

[Whitetiger217]

Same! Just got it an hour ago. Keep checking. Also my Rey arrived today!!

[dad2my3]

Seems like the clone trooper gets restocked around 4am. Don't think I'm going to get one, .

[Stragon]

:( Anybody else sad that the SWC FYE Clone trooper sold out in minutes??? Im sure as hell disappointed

It seems like I keep missing it too, wish I didn't need to sleep and work.

[angrykoalagear]

Luke acquired from Gamestop yesterday afternoon, but fortunately was not too late being that they only received 2 per store here in Tucson. Finally got confirmation about Thrawn shipping, Leia and Greedo sets are good to go from Box Lunch, and Walgreens finally sent shipping confirmation. I think I am good to go! I thank Funko for allowing us the opportunity to buy the exclusives!

[ScarletFunko]

Yeah I agree, big thanks to funko for sharing everything so we all have a shot at getting them!

[jkcohen626]

I ordered Thrawn Yesterday. I have never orderedf from TRU before, so I have no idea how it works, but should I have gotten a shipping confirmation email in addition to the order acknowledgment and order confirmation?

I ordered Thrawn from TRU and gotten a shipping confirmation email on 4/14.

you should get a separate shipping notice. make sure to check your spam folder too. if you created an account on TRU.com, you can always check your order status there as well.

I've now received shipping confirmation on all 3 orders from Walgreens, TRU and (just now) BoxLunch. really happy as Leia, Thrawn and Garindan were my "must haves" everything else is sauce for the goose

[bryan_sato54]

finally got my rey speeder in the mail...

[froyomorada]

Got my shipping confirmation from Walmart, Walgreens, Hot Topic, FYE and BoxLunch already. Didnt Order from TRU but hopefully it'll be in stores. Now to stalk Qui Gon Jinn..

[PhasmaPop]

finally got my rey speeder in the mail...

Yeah, sure took them long enough!

Mine still says processing.

[dad2my3]

Rey is really great. One of my very favorite Funko items. Expensive, but I'm glad to have her.

[HowardTheDuck]

I am also thrilled to have Rey!!! The speeder is so detailed!

[angrykoalagear]

So while most Targets are saving Qui Gon for Monday, I received a call from my parents visiting my brother in Pennsylvania and they tell me, there are 6 Qui Gon on the shelf, would you like me to get you one? I said sure, but said maybe you should scan it first to see if it even gives the price and of course they did not. They did go check with an associate and he had to check to say that they are being saved until Monday morning since they are closed Easter. Good news though, they will be holding a couple for them for Monday. I will still be on the lookout Monday morning for our Targets here since they keep saying the 16th, but also keep hearing about individuals in town scoring them. At the rate it is going in finding certain employees, there may not be any left by Monday morning.

[Libertyroxx]

Got my time slot at the Funko booth tomorrow morning! Very excited!!
