I ended up with 6 of them because no one wanted to buy it with the backpack.
Glad I bought a few. :freddy2:

Yeah, don't know why you would need six of them, but this is how I got mine. The backpack was actually really nice.

I like you a little less now. Just a little

Thursday and Friday I went to the Loungefly booth first thing. And they only gave the pop to the first 50 in line. And then they said they were out for the rest of the con Sat and Sun so I didn't even try. So what day did you get your 6 ?

I saw a family of 5 including elementary school kids get 5 pops and 5 backpacks. Good times........

Haha, I'll never understand that, nefarious or not. Trying to get my family to do anything is like trying to wrangle cats.

It's really cool ! I wore it to Disneyland a few times and then I got all weird about damaging it so I leave it at home.

Right after SDCC it was selling for well below cost because most people just wanted the pop. You can still find on around cost on ebay but not as often.

"save search" !!!

We need some pops to be very exclusive. That Sith deserves it.

Not to call out your story but I know people who couldn’t get in line at all to get the backpack while it was being sold with the pop due to the popularity....I myself tried multiple times and couldn’t get in

Nobody knew until first day of con. It was actually really nice. The red in it was striking but not too showy.

I was just thinking about Celebration. Given the distancing restrictions they think we should keep through the fall, it's teetering for sure. Seems more not to happen than happen at this point.

Yeah it looks like it will be canceled at this point.

After reading re-opening protocols for companies anticipating large crowds when the economy "soft opens" again, any hint of a second wave and they will all pull back to even stricter safety measures and allow less people into their establishments. The mere concept of a convention where ppl are packed together like sardines is something that won't happen this year, imo. We have to see stress-tests in other venues that can take on large crowds but have better control of 'flow' with said crowds. I'm more pessimistic now than I was even a few days ago about any cons this year.

Unfortunately I agree with you. We got the email from Celebration saying they were waiting before they make a decision. They said you can either get a refund or roll it into the rescheduled con if they cancel. I'll have them roll it over.

Yeah it's kind of like the 13th Doctor and Indie with gold idol. I didn't think they would be expensive after the con. But I had an idea that something was up with the sith trooper by Saturday at the con.

Is that when it was gone?

No it was selling out in the booth and at Loungefly within minutes. if you weren't one of the first 12 through the booth it was gone. They only had 2 cases per day at the booth and I think like 48 at lounge fly. It was crazy.

Never haha. We may have to get lucky and wait for a major price drop!! If it does come out my guess is it's a different box than the SDCC version. It was a pretty unique box to begin with.

Yeah, I think the run is done on this one, I'm afraid.

Bah.

Haha. That's about right.

Agreed once word was out. Lounge fly was crushed first thing in the morning every day. The only time it was easy to get was PN. After that it was a goner at opening.

Completely agree. It was the perfect color. The box and the pop worked perfect.

I wondered why Loungefly had so many people when prior years you could just walk up.

Really hope this one actually releases to the general public someday. I wasn't too stressed to get it at SDCC last year because I figured it eventually would. Hrm

In time, the pain will subside, and then you'll be walking by a store window and something will remind you of the pop and a single tear will roll down your cheek...this is the burden of every collector.

I am with you on this one. I heard about it on Friday and wanted to check it out but by the time I even made it there it was a madhouse. Backpack is frickin amazing! love the design but then again I really like that color combo on pretty much anything especially shoes. lol
