Holy shit do I want that remote control flying Falcon.

 

[curb]

I had no interest in the stream but thought I'd check out the Toronto segment since I'm in Canada. Dammit, now I want that flying Falcon.

 

[Calcium]

Yeah, I'll be getting that Falcon eventually. Probably not tomorrow, though.

 

[The Elite]

Missed the flying falcon. Is it like a drone?

The falcon has 4 rotors built into it, basically a quadcopter.

 

[Calcium]

Missed the flying falcon. Is it like a drone?

Yep, it is a drone.

 

[Moff]

Missed the flying falcon. Is it like a drone?

yes but rather small and looks very robust, it's basically a white millennium falcon with 4 holes in it for the rotors. a few LEDs, too.

 

[Cindres]

Holy shit the flying falcon works, like an actual flying millenium falcon I can actually by finally exists.

 

[Snaku]

The Elite figures are completely changing my Force Friday plans. Didn't even know they existed, and was going to settle for the Black Series line. Now I'm either gonna have to snag them online tonight, or show up at the Disney Store at 5am tomorrow and be late for work. Fuck.

 

[The Elite]

Is the Flying Falcon out tomorrow? How did that fly under the radar?

Is the Flying Falcon out tomorrow? How did that fly under the radar?

I saw it pop up at some point last week, not totally hidden.

Had no idea about the X-Wing though.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

It looks like I'm going to the Oxford Street Disney Store tomorrow.

 

[vagabondarts]

They are going to make so much money tomorrow holy crap.

I'm just gonna get a pullover hoodie, 3.75" Captain Phasma, Kylo Ren, and some Hot Wheels ships and cars.

gonna keep it grounded

 

[Darth Karja]

I wish I could see the x-wing in action. I really want the falcon.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

You don't because then you'll want that as well.

Isn't this kid a little short for a Stormtrooper?

Yeah, the Elite figures kind of change the 6" game.

Do they have the same level of articulation as the Black Series?

 

[The Elite]

The money leaving your wallet, have you felt it?

 

[vagabondarts]

Yeah, they look pretty cool. I didn't catch that part of the video so wouldn't mind a better look at them. Still favouring the Black series at the moment.

Are they doing anything special at that store?
If so I'm gonna head there too!

I have no clue, I'm just going to pick up some merch! Wouldn't be surprised if they do have something planned.

 

[Rootbeer]

guys I think the Elite Series shows tons of potential and I'm excited to learn more about them... but we have not seen any full reviews of the Elite Series figs yet so my expectations are very much in check right now... I do want to get some because they look higher quality than the BS but these store exclusive figures sometimes disappoint, so I'm prepared for anything.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Those build them yourself lightsabers are a real health hazard. Easy way to end up like Maul.

Is it the biggest store in London? I know they have one in Westfield but it's pretty small...

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Is it the biggest store in London? I know they have one in Westfield but it's pretty small...

I believe it is. It actually used to be a lot bigger because it was in a different location on Oxford Street, but they moved it for some reason. I was kinda sad when I find out.

 

[The Elite]

When I imagine build them yourself lightsabers I didn't imagine what they are releasing.

Would be cool if you could put different (plastic with some sort of RFID tag) crystals inside for changes to the sound and light of the saber.

Any chance that limited edition PS4 will go on pre order tomorrow?

Can't you pre-order it in the US yet? It's been available since the day after it was announced here.

Just launched at Toys R Us, QLD, Australia.

Absolutely dismal stock. No Lego sets whatsoever. Really disappointing open considering 60+ people rocked up.

 

[SmokinGunZ1981]

Star Wars UK Just tweeted about MidnightMadness at the Oxford Street Disney store. I'm away on a training course by the Strand at the moment so I think I'm going to have to pop along.

Yup.

Hot Toys are too expensive for me but this looks great.

Fuck.

Fuuuuuuck.

I feel like it should be clarified that it's a TRU exclusive in Hong Kong.

No. Pre order details haven't been announced

Is there any footage of the Millennium Falcon drone? I cannot find it scrubbing through this 4 hour YouTube stream.

 

[-griffy-]

Ugh, there's a Barnes and Noble right by my work that opens at 10am. I might have to swing over there and see about that damn BB-8.

Is there any footage of the Millennium Falcon drone? I cannot find it scrubbing through this 4 hour YouTube stream.

Go back about 1 hour 20 minutes right now.

 

[Kitoro]

I can't help but imagine the Sphero BB-8 will collect a ton of dirt, scuffs, and scratches off of most non-carpeteted terrain over time...

That'd just make him look more like the real thing.

Try -1.23 onwards on the stream.

That's too bad. I don't expect many people where I'm going.

The Stormtrooper nerf gun. Guaranteed to never hit your target.

Well that sucks. D:
