Hey guys, today’s Force Friday!
So, as the day of merchandise release, tell us about what you like about Force Friday. What do you hate about it? Anything to note in particular?
I, for one, love this “holiday”. The release of the Force Awakens Lego sets is great, as with the Battle figures. The new figures look great, and definitely a plus.
So tell us, what do you like about Force Friday (Reit.)?
As huge of a Star Wars fan as I am, and how much I’ve been looking forward to buying the LEGO sets…I don’t understand why people wait around at midnight in order to run in and hope all the other fanboys don’t clean the place out.
I mean, really. I get that it’s a special “experience”, but I don’t tend to enjoy sitting outside a store in the middle of the night with a bunch of strangers, waiting to charge inside and drop $600 as quickly as possible. Instead, I’ll sit in the comfort of my home, and space out my purchases so as to savor the occasion.
I have the money.
The problem is, when I buy action figures, they just sit there on my desk. Period. And they kind of make me sad because it reminds me of the days when I used to play with toys and life was better and I was happy.
I could buy a Funko, but it would just sit there.
I could buy a Lego set, but I would spend awhile building it, which is my favorite part, and then I would be done. And it would sit there.
I could buy a toy lightsaber, but I wouldn’t play with it.
I could buy that Stormtrooper helmet, but it would sit there and collect dust on my desk.
I could buy an Air Hogs, but I already own one drone and I plan on getting another for Christmas.
I could get BB8, but I would play with him a dozen times and then he would sit there, like the last robot I had.
