In a normal world, Nelson and I would probably be heading back to the Bay Area from Anaheim, on the last day of Star Wars Celebration.<\/p>\n

Instead, I made a Target run to see if I could get anything from the new Galaxy’s Edge Trading Post items that went on sale today.<\/p>\n

I went to one Target and they had no such items out.\u00a0 I saw another customer with a basket of figures, asking an employee if they had a particular figure in back.\u00a0 I asked the customer if they had put up their display anywhere, and he said no, he found the figures in the regular Star Wars display in the toy section.\u00a0 I told him that other Targets had end cap displays for the new stuff.<\/p>\n

I then went to the other nearby Target, where I was greeted with this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That same customer from the other Target came up behind me and asked if this was what I was looking for, and I said yeah.<\/p>\n

To be honest, the sight of this made me feel sad that I wasn’t in Anaheim, because I had planned to visit Baatu and Black Spire Outpost and even build my own lightsaber.\u00a0 But it wasn’t meant to be this year.<\/p>\n

I almost bought the cheap Jedi Blade Builders saber that they had, but decided not to.\u00a0 I’ll build mine at Galaxy’s Edge, someday.<\/p>\n

Instead, a porg and a LOTH CAT jumped in my basket.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They brought along a deck of Sabacc-shaped cards to keep themselves busy.<\/p>\n

The majority of the other merchandise was rebranded Blade Builders sets, Q’ira’s blaster from Solo rebranded and recolored as a Mandalorian blaster (Double barreled?\u00a0 No.), droid factory action figures and plush droids, and some masks and books.<\/p>\n

And yeah, I’m wearing yet another Star Wars shirt today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
