I am trying to decide if I am willing to try for one of the release night secret wave at my local target. Anyone else planning to go to one? Anyone else been before? How bad do you think it will be?
Force Friday camp out; you going?
Likely just waiting for the online release to order it with my Wave 7 stuff. Gotta get dat free shipping.
I'm going! The new core set I'm obviously getting. Curious to see if there are the 2 "supposed" blister expansions also. But most importantly, the Black Series TIE Fighter will be mine!
Nope. Going to wait for it to be availble through the normal channels (MM, CSI, etc) so I don't have to pay MSRP.
Also, its on a Friday. I don't really feel like getting up at 2300 Thursday, going to Target, buying a core set, going back to sleep until 0730 Friday, then going to work. Doesn't seem worth it to get an X-wing and TIE fighter with built-in sheild upgrades.

But what if the X-Wing also had an Engine Upgrade? And the TIE had a Targeting Computer upgrade?
Edited by ObiWonkaNope. I'll wait til it comes up on CoolStuffInc's site and be able to get all of it at 30% off what it will be at a Target or other store.
Edited by Bjorn RockfistThursday is X-Wing night at my FLGS and we've asked if they will stay open till midnight so we could purchase any X-Wing material for episode 7. They said they'd think about doing it.
I plan to head to Target around 10 or 10:30. Unless I recognize 10+ x wing players in line ahead of me I'll stay through.
I have school that morning and need to pick up an order from an LGS later that afternoon. So the solution is clearly to cram it in at noon.
Nobody plays in my town that I know of; there is almost zero percent chance they sell out, so I plan to go check out the store at a normal hour.
it will be like camping, so no big deal. I am going to wait, because I am in it for life so getting goodies on the day they release is not as important to me. I will have more of each ship than most people... i can wait.

A core set brand new for $50 BOOM NOW... or just wait a few weeks until MM or CS have them in and then buy three core sets for less than $100.

I've never been to that site, but wouldn't the shipping costs make up for that difference regardless?
But anyhow, I have no plans on staying up all night for this. Maybe the following day i'll scavenge around though. I'd really love it if I found the current core set on clearance for super cheap though. I am hesitant to buy online though, i'm paranoid i'll be models that are dameged/bent/warped/badly painted so I like to inspect things in person. Unless the online store has a good return policy I usually pass on that.

Build it and they will come.

And the tie fighter had the dial of the best ship in the game (interceptor) AND added 2 speed *redacted* looops?

CSI and MM help us justify spending more than we would normally want to at a time because $100 minimum gets you free shipping.
Sounds like someone needs to give demos and start a X-Wing Facebook for their town.Nobody plays in my town that I know of; there is almost zero percent chance they sell out, so I plan to go check out the store at a normal hour.

Nah, I just live in a very rural suburb and no joke, every place that hosts tourneys and such is 45 minutes in any of the 4 cardinal directions from me. There's not really a location nearby I would be comfortable doing a demo at, I'm just stuck making a bit of a drive every time I want to play in tourneys.

But yeah, I forget how spoiled I am in my city.
If any stores here were doing it I would. Far as I know no Canadian stores are participating.
I'll be at the nova open in a hunger game match through midnight. If it's not for sale there I might stop on my way home and pick one up.
I will be at Target ready to buy. I want my free lunch box for my daughter and the chance to win the Chewy they are giving away. Target has $25 off $100 coupons in their ad this week for Star Wars merch so I will buy a couple of sets to take advantage. My buddies will need em anyway.
Edited by jfuller82What outside...nooooooo thank you it's dangerous out there with germs and meatbags who want to talk to you.
Also I don't know anywhere local in the UK doing anything like that.
I'll be there to pick up 1 copy of whatever's available for X-wing, and then I'll get a second set when I can get them at a discount. Pretty much the same approach I used at GenCon, come to think of it.
Nah. I'll stop by Target after work, and if they have it, they have it, if they don't, I'll get it when I can buy it on MM or at my FLGS
I'll head over Toys'R'Us after X-Wing night at the LGS. But I'm not planning on buying anything. Even if they had X-Wing, I'd wait for it to be available at my local game store so I can support them. Mainly I'm just going so I have an excuse to wear my Jedi costume and geek out in a Star Wars aisle at midnight.
Local Target is not playing so NO... Not that i would have even if they were participating.. local walmrt says they are but i am guessing its just Toys... would be nice if they actully said what they would be releasing!! and where!!
