Force Friday Haul!

1:10 PM

It's officially been a week since Force Friday so I figured I'd do a little haul post! As I'm sure most of y'all know, September 4th aka Force Friday was the day that most of the new merchandise for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released world wide! Super exciting. But are any of you guys as shocked as I am that they didn't release a new trailer, too? I was totally expecting one. Anyhow, on Force Friday, lots of places opened up at midnight to premier the new merchandise! We chose to go to Toys R Us first. I'm glad we did. There were only about 40 people waiting in line in total, and we were about 5th. They were giving away goodies, and Geoffrey the giraffe was there. That was pretty hilarious. It was very organized, and pretty well stocked, but people did snatch up all the best stuff pretty quickly. Then we went to Walmart, where they had free Star Wars cupcakes! It wasn't as well stocked, but then again we were an hour late. The next morning we hit up Target, the Disney Store, and Hot Topic! I figured I'd share the awesome things we were able to pick up. I'm totally not allowing myself to spend any more money for awhile on Star Wars merchandise, that's for sure! Well, at least until I see the next mind blowingly awesome thing.

The grey top with the metallic lettering is from Target and the BB-8 shirt is from Walmart! The grey one is my favorite because it's actually a really soft and flowy high-lo top with a super flattering neckline.



As for the toys, we got them all at Toys R Us when it opened at midnight! We got super lucky to find everything we wanted. I was mostly after the pop vinyls, while James wanted the black series. Over the past week, we've seen plenty of pops at Barnes & Noble and Hot Topic, too! Black series seems to be sold out everywhere, though. We bought two Kylo's, one for each of us! That little commemorative lego brick next to him was given to us at Toys R Us for attending the midnight release. The back is dated September 4th 2015, so that's pretty neat!





The big poster of most of the new characters is one of my favorite finds! Nobody at Toys R Us seemed to notice the box of posters, so I snagged one. Who doesn't love a giant Star Wars poster in their room?! The Kylo Ren poster was actually another freebie given to us by Toys R Us and the paper is super glossy and nice. The one of Captain Phasma and the other stormtroopers is actually a tear out from the Kylo Ren coloring book below it! It also came with all those stickers. Only 5$ at Barnes & Noble!



LOOK AT THE MUG!! AHH! The Kylo Ren mug is gigantic and amazing, and I got my hands on one of the very last ones at Target. And of course, we couldn't resist picking up a Kylo Ren lightsaber at the Disney Store. The only thing I wish I'd gotten that I didn't was the Kylo Ren mask from the Disney Store that says phrases from the movie. It was super exciting playing with it in the store and hearing his voice and some lines for the first time! It was such a fun and exciting weekend! We got so many amazing things, and got super lucky on multiple occasions. Seeing everybody's excitement is just incredibly magical. I'm glad I get to experience all of this firsthand. What did you guys get? Or what are you planning on getting? Let me know in the comments!
