Anakin Pop ... Target Exclusive?!

[rdgmjv11]

This is insane. Just went to a Target that Brickseek showed as having 29 in stock. Nothing. Workers had no clue.

I've been to five Targets now that each show as having at least 18. Absolutely nobody has a clue about this thing. I don't get it.

And as a child in Phantom Menace he was still a far better actor than his adult Star Wars Anakin successor Hayden Christensen...at least imo...

Amen to that. He was not great (I still in part blame the often unbearably poor dialogue), but Hayden Christensen, so so bad.

George Lucas write bad dialogue? Never!

"Anakin Skywalker: You are so... beautiful.

Padmé: It's only because I'm so in love.

Anakin Skywalker: No, it's because I'm so in love with you.

Padmé: So love has blinded you?

Anakin Skywalker: [laughs] Well, that's not exactly what I meant.

Padmé: But it's probably true."

The first time I heard those lines I was cringing so hard. Just bloody awful. No one is denying Lucas is brilliant, but dude needed someone to come in and rework the dialogue, big time.

I just read that and, for a minute, thought you were making it up. But no, I remember that scene now. Yiiiiiiikes.

I think a part of my brain blocked that scene out of memory and now it's all rushing back. It really does sound like a little kid wrote it. "Baby's first screenwriting".

I wish I could have forgotten those words, that scene. But no. It is etched into my mind forever. A wound that can never truly heal....

I stopped by Target on my lunch break today because Brickseek said they had 18 Anakins...turns out they had 18 Reys (finn's jacket). It's strange that Rey and Anakin would share the same DCPI....or is it? Spoiler alert!!!

[michael]

All the Targets in my area went green on Brickseek today w/the DCPI so I went a'hunting. First target had about 6 Reys (161) and no Anakins that I saw.

The second Target had to have at least a dozen Anakins but no Reys... the Anakin is cool, but I passed. I've been a SW:TFA completist, so Rey did come home : )

Let me know if you're still unable to find him. My targets are flooded with him

Thanks, I'll keep you posted. I'm actually looking for two, one for a friend and one for me. We've both been checking in two different states...nothing.

Well, there's a pile of him in at least one NJ Target where I passed on him if that helps.

Where is Jersey did you find Rey? I'm gonna check some stores in the Bronx this weekend, but I work in Jersey, so...

Clifton. Probably about 5 left last night.

FINALLY found a huge amount of them today!

[Crazychris225]

Haven't seen any Reys around Chicago area... this same DCPI stuff is terrible

[racheva]

Just picked up a Rey at my ~local Target on the Westchester/Bronx border. There were about 6 of them out with a few other SW pops. Kind of amazing to not have to ask for one!

[michael]

Clifton. Probably about 5 left last night.

Had to stop for something else this morning; there's def. still at least have a dozen Rey's in Clifton, but not Anakin's.

I found them locally, but thanks! Interesting that these appear to be easier to get.

[Carol_Lynn]

There were a ton of Anakin at the Target in Estero, FL (Gulf Coast Center). No Rey though. Brickseek finally shows some in South Florida so I'm hoping to check those out today.

[McScruffy]

Tons of Anakin's at Target in Westwood, Ma but 0 Rey's. I bet next week on the Rey's.

[Lonikins]

Found a handful of Anakins at my local Target on the Star Wars endcap. Stared at them for a while, but I can't bring myself to buy him yet

[The Head]

Hmmm, will have to be on the lookout for Rey now. Multiple targets near me have tons of anakins, but no Rey yet. Then again, I haven't been in a target since friday. It's sad because that feels like a long time.

[Dogmatic]

I saw a single Rey at my local Target yesterday, but no Anakins. I left her be.

[dboneo]

Does it smell like farts?

[dboneo]

I said DOES IT SMELL LIKE FARTS?!?!?!

[Blake85]

:cussing: I said DOES IT SMELL LIKE FARTS?!?!?!

[FarleyFour]

Grabbed last one at target on Staten Island. It was kind of hiding.

[valorandvellum]

Amen to that. He was not great (I still in part blame the often unbearably poor dialogue), but Hayden Christensen, so so bad.

George Lucas write bad dialogue? Never!

He was clearly suffering from verbal diarrhea at the time of writing that scene And yes...I cringed and threw up a little too....

[Leftcoast]

I've haven't been frequenting here that past week or so with a busy work schedule and whatnot, but my store received Anakin a few days ago on my day off so I rushed over to pick one up. Had to make one of my coworkers go in back and grab a fresh box and found this label on the outside indicating Target will have Rey exclusive. Possibly something unannounced or that Rey wearing Finn's jacket that made the rounds on IG a week or so ago.

My local target probably had about 50 of each of these this afternoon when I was there. Shocked to see that many target exclusives at one time

[Rexus]

My local targets also have about 10 Anakins each in northern Virginia

[jhorsley23]

I picked this up at Target last week. They had about 15 of him.

Went back to check for some stuff last night and they had about 30-40 Anakin exclusives now. No joke.
