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.

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!

:laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5: :laughing5:


"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 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 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!!!

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 : )

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!

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.

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. lol

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

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.
