Star Wars Celebration Orlando Predictions

[Guneagle01]

Good thing I didn't immediately get Han when he went on sale, he was still in stock and was able to use my hot cash for him

[lrienaeds]

My Thrawn arrived today from TRU in very good condition. I'm happy I was able to get him and Chopper from HT.

[edmomo]

My Thrawn came mint too which is surprising because he was in a huge box with no padding. dumb luck I guess. classic TRU packaging

Not sure if I'm allowed to cross post, but I'm doing a giveaway of the 442nd Clone Trooper (Galactic Convention sticker) in the giveaway forum here. Still some spots open if you're looking for one.

I had some extras that I couldn't even sell at cost+shipping and returned them, and HT still had several of each. It's weird how many HT gets, but no other stores that carried these freakin' has any.

Got my Qui Gon in the mail today from ebay flipper. 100% mint, well packed and mint. Paid $48, free shipping. I wouldn't do it for most Pops, but for a "must have" I am thrilled. AND I no longer have to worry about the POS known as Target!

At HT today, had two in my hand for trading at our pop swap, but had to put them back. Manager told me NO hot cash for these. And she really likes me, she would have if she could!

Got my clone trooper yesterday! Perfect condition and looks excellent!

Thrawn came in huge box with no padding but was in good shape, Han came yesterday and I has to trade chase eleven for Qui gon

What?? I bought a Han with my Hot Cash. I know they don't allow in-store promos like "Buy 2, get 1 free", but I thought Hot Cash was something entirely separate from that. And the system didn't flag the exclusive when the girl rang me up so maybe your manager was just misinformed?

I doubt misinformed. She always calculates best ways for me. 3 for 30, or 25% bag, rewards, military discount etc. Your last sentence says my thoughts. The managers are told/emailed one thing. But they system does another. I have had occasion where they said no, or didnt have an answer and said "lets enter it, see what the computer does". It's all ok cause they were just for trading, I already had my Solo. Saved me money for ALL the new announced Pops!

Target issuing 50$ e-gift cards for cancelled online Qui Gon orders, just got mine.

Yeah the manager at my HT told me the same thing and I am pretty good friends with her. I had already bought them online when they released, but I think the con exclusives were the only ones she said were excluded from Hot Cash. Also I used to be able to use those $5 rewards with Hot Cash, but this time they said it wasn't allowed, so I guess their policies are always in flux.

If anyone is going to C2E2 in Chicago the FYE Booth has lots of 442nd Clone Trooper and even Muftak from ECCC

Just got home from c2e2 and was going to post the same thing.

Mine came in a larger than necessary box, but, bubble wrapped. Showed up flawlessly.

Huge fail by Funko on Qui-Gon Pops. Twice in the past year.

[slightecho]

I got my Hoth Leia yesterday and have not stopped crying from the perfection!! She's so amazing and I'm so glad to finally have here!

Side Note: Shout out to BoxLunch for having the BEST SHIPPING OF A POP I HAVE EVER SEEN FROM A COMPANY!! For real, Leia came wrapped in a VERY thick layer of bubble wrap and her box is in the best condition of ANY pop I own! I've never been more impressed with shipping before! Definitely will be buying pops from BoxLunch again!

Thanks for the tip. I went last night but by the time I saw this post they were gone. luckily they has about 20 or so this morning and was able to snag one along with a pop stack.

[Blehschmidt]

I have a Target Qui-Gon I would be willing to trade to someone if they happen to have an extra Bossk.

[Measured Mayhem]

Heard some Rey Speeders are hitting the shelves at Walmarts. Hopefully I can snag one.

[POPtor WHO]

went to TRU last night and found Thrawn. even better since it was Star Wars Day and he was on sale, after my $5 Rewards (split w/ other items) he ended up costing $10 and change! if you're still needing him, check you TRU.

[hikanteki]

Found a Thrawn at Toys R Us! The website showed it available at a store not too far away, so I reserved it and went to pick it up.

Qui-Gon was a big fail, just like every other Target exclusive around here even the easy-to-find ones like Bullseye. I don't know if any of the stores here even got them (or if they did, if any of them weren't snatched up by the employees.)

A Target about an hour and a half from my sister showed it in stock, but it won't let you reserve it online. I did not want to ask her to go all that way to look for something that may or may not even be in stock.

Star Wars Celebration Orlando is less than two months out and with Grand Admiral Thrawn rumored to be an exclusive. What are everyone's theories for this year's celebration exclusives?

My theories:

1. Grand Admiral Thrawn
2. Captain Rex with Helmet
3. AP-5 or Chopper with Imperial paint job
4. Hondo Ohnaka
5. Agent Kallus
6. Commander Wolffe, Captain Gregor, or Commander Jun Sato

I remember reading somewhere that there would be a lot of Rebels-related items so this makes sense. I would be down for any/all of these.

Also with Funko actually having a booth there for the first time, it seems like there will overall be a greater quantity of items be they Con only or shared exclusives than the past couple of years.

I'll be attending SWC for the first time since the inaugural Celebration in 1999. Extremely excited for it!

man your rick and morty badge is freaking dope (end of my kanye moment)
