Happy August everyone!
Release is just around the corner and expecting an information feeding frenzy mid-month between Toy Box Summit and D23 heading our way before the 30th (US) and the earlier European release (27-28?).
Just swapped my Best Buy preorder from mailed to in-store pickup - couldn't trust the question of 'when' it would arrive and didn't want to wait for 'sometime' in September. Yeah, I'm excited enough that days matter! Previously Best Buy only had mailing options. So counting my cancelled Amazon set, I have ordered the Saga set three times (canceling two). I'm fairly sure that is some kind of record, however non-prize worthy it is. Hopefully I am fully optimized now.
Open questions I hope are addressed at upcoming events this month:
D23 exclusive figure(s) (if anyone could snag an extra - much gratitude sent your way)?
Disney Cruise line exclusive content and how it is unlocked (room key, other RFID type device)? When does availability start?
What does the Magicband release in 3.0 (like Dragon set in 1.0 and Small World facade in 2.0)?
Release dates for non-release day characters...Han Solo, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Hulkbuster, Ultron, Ant-man (character reveal?), & Boba Fett (non-Saga edition folks)?
Marvel play set and other characters besides Hulkbuster, Ultron, and the all-but-announced Ant-man with release date(s)?
Episode 7 play set and characters with release date?
Other characters, expansion packs, power discs, and/or play sets for later release and when?
Ultimate unlock (eg. Light saber 1.0 & land speeder 2.0)?
Power Discs - how many and when?
Vendor supporting ancillary items like power disc books/folders (PDP?) and when available?
Anything PC only (hoping not)?
Any other platforms with exclusive content/figures (e.g. Vita)?
Did I miss any question you have?
