Another reminder: if you want stuff just to sell for profit, go after the Magic cards (if they even did those this time around?) and the Stormtrooper. The TF stuff will totally not increase on the secondary market. Totally. No reason I'd say that on a TF board or anything

I can vouch for that storm trooper, the hasbro booth at SDCC was overwhelmed. And this being a big year for star wars, the SDCC exclusive will be uber wanted online. Not for long term, but for the short term, it will be a very in demand item.

I was just referring to this insane story: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/07/09/sdcc-15-star-wars-fever-hits-hard-comic-con/

People almost died getting this thing.

People will die if I don't get one, not really.

Those stormtroopers ARE going for around $80 on eBay. Assuming it stays ~$25 as it was at the show, that's a huge increase.

There'd damn well better be a Limit 1 on those things or I'll be tempted to scalp, like the scum I secretly am.

I don't know you, but I hate you already.

By the by if they're not up by 11AM I'm feeling 12PM EST. Also I think after today we'll start seeing a drop in the price of some of the SDCC stuff just because there's more out there.

Femmebots, gentlecons, a new motto is born.

And a desire to buy the Stormtrooper before my old pal Chuck can, but I'll suppress that unhelpful thought.

HA! I wish you get one. TO be frank though, I saw the figure and I have no clue why the demand is so high. How is it any different to previous Storm Troopers?

Also, it kinda blows that the exclusive figure happens to be a troop builder :HEADHURTS:

I don't assign much predictability to the time this stuff goes up. This is year number 8 waiting on it and there just isn't a pattern. The fact that there's even a date this time is a pleasant and welcome surprise!

I'm sure it uses a LOT of tooling from the original Stormtrooper but the helmet is different. New weapons too.

It'll go up when they feel like putting it up... like when everyone's out to lunch

I was thinking that too, I'm sure they'll try to have things live by mid-day EDT.

Arby's is a Level 15 planeswalker and has to keep up.

(I have no idea if that's a good joke or not. Whatever.)

11:02 and nothing new. I do find it funny that on the hour there is a bit of a slow down on the site, like a million people hit refresh at the same time.

I wonder what the collective weight loss is going to be from the whole fandom skipping lunch.

See HTS does care about you!

Yeah, once once they go live things will really start to crawl.

Just coffee for me and a banana

Ok some real talk on bananas though - I think once they're brown-ish and somewhat mushy they're compost, but my wife tells me this is how most people prefer them because that's peak ripeness. I'm more into them while pretty much all yellow and still somewhat solid. Is this odd?

I like mine somewhere in between. But the browner ones are great for cooking/baking. They are sweeter, just mushier.
