Star Wars Celebration Orlando Predictions

Postby **synergy56** » Fri Apr 14, 2017 8:09 pm

Based on Facebook and Instagram postings it looks like Target stores have gotten to ok to sell Qui-Gon today. See a lot of people posting them. I guess it depends on your store? I'm definitely going to give it a try though. Since I can't look these up on Brickseek I'd rather know now than be waiting outside Monday and be disappointed.

It's all good, I got the shipping notice a few hours ago. I guess I've just been paranoid because Thrawn was up for so much longer than any of the other exclusives and they have had a history of messing these things up.

Just got a Qui Gon!

I found a super helpful employee who scanned the barcode I gave him and it said 6 were in stock and that they were listed as sellable. He buzzed someone to bring it out to me and bam! I'll definitely be checking that Target more often because everybody was so nice. Hope everybody else is able to find him too!

I hope my store didn't start selling the ones they got. I'd be upset honestly. I was told no until the 16th.

Got my Qui Gon! Also picked up Luke, & ordered Thrawn & the Walgreens one.

But no Rey!

It's been emotional.

I went to target today and they still wouldn't sell me him until Monday:(

Postby **Whitetiger217** » Sat Apr 15, 2017 1:36 am

I just called my Target and they said they had him this morning and sold out of him already. Should have called sooner but I was going with the Monday release date. Sigh.

Postby **Whitetiger217** » Sat Apr 15, 2017 1:43 am

Update- all the Targets in my area have sold out of him. Ugh. Not fair when they said they were going to be released on Monday.

Postby **dishsnthings** » Sat Apr 15, 2017 1:45 am

I went today too, said the same thing. Now tonight I read online that many Targets are releasing them (at 7pm) after telling customers to wait! Theres no way to tell if any of my Targets are doing this and Brickseek seems to be wonky. I did get the Walgreens, HT and FYE Pops and Im grateful. But QGJ was THE Pop I wanted most and I know Im going to get screwed. I went to fleabay and had one in my cart for $48 and I took it out when I spotted "more than 10 available". Target and flipps can each pick a butt cheek......

Man all these stories make me glad I'm too broke to hunt for Qui-Gon.

It's going to go live on the Target website Sunday! Don't pay flippers!

will TRU accept return if there no damage? I don't want Thrawn

On one hand, I'm glad I don't have the hassle you all have there with all these different stores, on the other hand, I just had to order from Popcultcha and hope the import charges aren't too steep.... But at least I will get my Rey!

Absolutely. TRU will accept any returns with the receipt within the time period.

Right! Sometimes a little extra money is worth avoiding the hassle and loss of sleep. I'm hoping FPI gets Rey.

Any clue when will they put them up online? All i is need Mr Qui.

Postby **Whitetiger217** » Sat Apr 15, 2017 10:27 am

Man. Still no luck. They said they had six on hand but they couldn't find them anywhere.

Postby **ScarletFunko** » Sat Apr 15, 2017 10:37 am

I decided to check my Target again and sure enough they were selling them. One of the local flippers had already been by and tried to convince them to sell him more than one and apparently got upset when they said no. I really can't stand this guy. He also doesn't consider himself a flipper....even though he buys multiples of things.....and sells them at a profit. Last time I ran into him he bragged to me that he had bought 21 of the Target Groots. Yeah dude, you so aren't a flipper :rolleyes:

But yeah got my Qui-Gon

I went to a couple of Targets by me this morning and the employees didn't know if they had them or not and said they looked in the back where they would be and nothing. Must have sold them yesterday.

Postby **Thrillofthehunt** » Sat Apr 15, 2017 11:35 am

Looks like people are having a blast at the celebration!

im so tempted to do the same....

Would anyone be able to pick up an extra for me if there is any .....

I don't see why they wouldn't, but why would you order one if you didn't want it?

Thanks! It was great and I got to meet Sulley and Hillary both for the first time at the both. Yes of course Yoko and Cam were there too. The Funko booth also had the Kylo Ren pin so now only missing the Hera one from Gentle Giant.

Looks like prices are coming down a bit on Qui Gon! If you've decided to skip hunting and buy off ebay, you may want to hold off a bit longer. Sold listings are more and more often coming in at the mid to high $30s shipped now.

I don't see why they wouldn't, but why would you order one if you didn't want it?

I ordered 1 plus $5.99 shipping because I didn't see the order no in my account, so I ordered 1 extra and some items to get free shipping.

I think i either keep it or return.

Postby **jaybros82** » Sat Apr 15, 2017 3:49 pm

Any ideas when Qui will hit target online? Probably stay up little past midnight

Finally got Qui Gon today. Garindan arrived in the mail so im just waiting for my hot topic, fye, walmart and boxlunch orders to arrive.

Postby **HaloHawk87** » Sat Apr 15, 2017 9:41 pm

I checked my local Target for QGJ tonight, but struck out. Should of checked earlier in the day or yesterday. Maybe for the best. I'm still 50-50 on whether I want it or not. Couple of interesting things to note. They literally just put out a bunch of Doctor Strange Pops since I was last there on Thursday. Talk about being late. They never had any before now. No exclusive, just commons. They had a couple of Dorbz for the last couple of months, but never the Pops. Also, every single Pop had a clearance sticker of $6.25 on them. They didn't on Thursday. They never did participate in the 50% off sale. My Target is weird.

I might try for QGJ online tomorrow morning like many others will be. Got some time to decide. Good luck to everyone on trying to get one. I hope everyone who wants one is able to get one.
