The evening before MM, my friend Matt and I's game plan went south because of something out of our control, but we ended up going to Glen Carbon Walmart. They had the 18 ft train, and the isle ready to go at almost exactly midnight. The staff there was absolutely awesome. I showed the girl guarding the isle my phone at 12:01, and was allowed to go in. I grabbed Rey's Speeder and was ready to go because that's all they had from my above list. There was a lot of stuff stocked, just not enough Hasbro items. My friend and his wife ended up picking up about $50 worth of stuff, and the only other person was a bald guy who was super rude, and absolutely wouldn't talk to us, despite the fact that we tried. "How are you doing tonight man, excited?" was met with total silence, as were all other communications. ><
We then jetted over to Woodriver Walmart, but the staff there was a bunch of good ol' boys, and they didn't have anything out. When I asked the guy about the time line, he told me it could take a while. It was already like 1:00 by that point, so we left and I took my friends home. We decided to hit up Target that next day because of the coupons.
When I got home I stayed up for another 3 hours or so reading reports and stuff from the forums, and ended up ordering the bulk of my stuff from Amazon. A desert speeder, and two Snowspeeders. I wanted three; however Amazon had a limit of two per customer. I also had to add Rey's Speeder to the order because there wasn't anything else I wanted, and couldn't make up the $100 coupon minimum, so I have to return one of them to Walmart sometime.
My friend and then met up again at around 9:30, and went to Edwardsville Target. They pretty much had everything but the 2-packs, Falcon, and big TIE. We talked to a guy named Austin for about an hour, which also gave me time to think about buying the X-Wing or not. I went back and forth a hundred times, but decided to pass on it. I bought my third Snowspeeder for the photonovel, so I was pretty much done. My friend bought 5 Funkos for $2.68 a peice, which made us wonder if that was a system/store error....He also got the 12 inch Kylo Ren, which had a great head scuplt, but looked it was wearing goucho pants.
