    Rumours said multiple waves coming in short order, hopefully that's true. Not sure the pilot and vehicles are to scale in all those pics, some of the figures are too large to fit in the vehicles which we know they do.

    I love how they didn't even bother to scale the interior with the figures.

    At least the micromachine sets look good?

    Regarding the new vehicles, um, are the pilots trying to get shot? Hey, look at me! My torso is completely exposed!

    Considering they'd be shot with Nerf they probably aren't worried.

    It's only because money.

    Personally I don't mind the smaller scale, because now I can actually fit it on my shelf.

    I may get the Nerfennium Falcon just to shoot at my cat with.
    Also I just realized we finally saw the 3" BB-8 in those photos.

    Ugh. So glad I am out of the 3.75 game. Just terrible offerings.

    I'm not going to buy too many myself, mostly just the vehicle sets.

    At this point, I only really want a small-ish die-cast version of Poe's X-Wing -- which I'm sure we'll see eventually.

    That X-Wing is probably my favorite ship in TFA.

    I hope Phasma gets a custom though.

    Goddamn, bladebuilders is fucking bizzare. Hasbro's marketing for them is like "Bladebuilders - because we read what you wrote about the crossguard saber, you whiny little fucks."

    Sphero is making a retail version of Star Wars' BB-8, could cost $150

    Make This Star Wars BB-8 Droid with a Hacked Sphero

    I'm getting a BB-8 Sphero.

    I'm curious as to how it works. Guess the upper hand guard is the pump? Kinda bummed the stock isn't a folding one now, but it looks like on screen only Phasma's rifle has a solid stock, while all the other rifles don't.

    Probably going to pass on those vehicles. Oh wells. Is that $180ish TIE fighter for 6" figures?

    Just to be clear, that part you quoted from my post wasn't me saying that, it was from Jedi Temple Archives. Everything in my post that was purple was part of their humorous/sarcastic article about what Target has planned for Force Friday. They were being sarcastic with the "stuff fiction is made of" line because we've all known for quite a while that BB-8 is a real working prop rather than CG (ie, fiction). :)

    I miss electronic toy blasters. I'm probably going to get the Stormtrooper Nerf blaster rifle for shits and giggles, but they just don't compare to having an electronic blaster. Can't really complain about the price though, and I can always go online an pick up an older blaster with the electronics still functioning.

    I'm on Sphero's mailing list for their BB-8, so ill order directly from them rather than bother finding the retail version.
