Force Friday, Sept 4 in NZ

...over 50 pieces in that Micro Machines collection, huh?

The two Dans on this board are going to need bigger rooms!

LOL.

[Reverend Strone]

Yeah. I'm working on how that subject gets broached ...

Maybe Strone and I can buy a set between us, and work out some sort of time-share arrangement?

But seriously, 50? Man, when it rains it pours. After fifteen years of pining for the return of Micro Machines, there's now gonna be more than I know what to do with. I'm wondering if a chunk of that 50 will be re-releases of vehicles we've seen in the past - that'll certainly make it hurt a little less.

For people who are doing this in Auckland, is there any chance I could tag along with you? Haha!

[Bazzack]

.......I don't know enough about the film to have figured out which figures I want to collect from it, yet...............but nonetheless enthusiastic and keen for some fresh new SW plastic.

How about everyone else? Are some folks already all in or going to be selective?

I echo Revs sentiments above, but also because my main focus has shifted towards vintage items over the last wee while.
I certainly haven't stopped buying modern though, and garauntee I'll be selectively purchasing some of the new offerings.

......and looking forward to confirmation of locations for a bit of midnight madness

Not really into micro machines but will have a look.

I see X-Wing have now got Ghost and the Phantom in their latest wave releases

Any know if there will be a midnight release at a Wellington shop

I could be interested in coming over the hill if others are going shopping at 12.01 am.

Lots of cool confirmations and hints at what to expect come Force Friday in these Walmart Planograms unearthed by Yakface.com.

There are plenty of 6" Black series and 5POA 3.75" listings, as expected, but what is that I see in there? Could those be 3.75" Black series pegs, greyed to indicate new product? Please be true!

[MattG]

Oh yes, just saw that. Seems reasonably solid information!

TFA Micro Machines and 3.75" Black Series figures? Looks like Christmas has been rescheduled for September 4th!

No word as of yet. If anywhere is holding an event, it's most likely to be Toyworld - but I figure I'll do a tour of the stores next week and try and get some more details.

Wherever it is, Ill be there. I probably won't be going after a huge haul that first night though. If it's at Toyworld, then prices will be at a premium, and there will be plenty of better deals at Farmers and The Warehouse over the coming weeks. Still, it'll be hard not to make a few purchases in all of that midnight excitement
