I'm right there with you as far as the big chain stores are concerned. Walmart is awful around here. Their SW section is slim to none, and Target hasn't seen anything new yet either. Spotted a few posts on Instagram of folks who hit up Kohls and lucked out myself.
what ticks me off is we get tons and tons of shipments of those lego transforming figures
those damn things... thats the only thing we got... so when the shelfs were only full with those, parents took them anyway.. now the shelfs are restocked with this crap... i CAN NOT believe our area ended up getting nothing. you can ask Chaim, and Roy here i was going every weekend hitting up 3 walmarts, and 2 targets for months!! and nothing.. very disappointing...
when episode 1 came out, holy cow there was a whole ISLE devoted to episode 1 figures JUST figures!!! i thought we would see the same thing with all the episode 7 hype... star wars was everywhere!! shoes, socks, shirts, cups, tennis rackets,soccer balls, tents, towels, soap dispensers you name it it had star wars on it!! but we got NOTHING for action figure and vehicle wise! so upsetting..
i wanted to say i ordered my trooper helmet the morning members posted here, i ordered it through toys r us. i haven't gotten a shipping notice, and though i got a order confirmations, my credit card hasn't been charged yet. I'm guessing the card won't be charged until they ship?
either way, i haven't heard anything yet from toysRus
