Let me tell you guys. One guy ran in and grabbed every single new black series figure off the shelf while everyone was walking in and taking pictures with us. Glad I was able to grab what I wanted before the doors opened.
The biggest complaint was that Funko products were advertised (not just by us and we certainly didnt promote them locally). We did in fact have products, the t shirts. That's it. People wanted the new Rebels pops and the Rogue One set.
We had about 10 people, and the new ships sold well. I told the manager that when we opened. The ships and Black series are all anyone's going to buy. I was hoping for a Kanan BS hilt. I was also shocked no one bought the BS Stormtrooper helmet or the ridiculous flying Melinnium Falcon that was $300. It was huge and fit Han and Chewie inside!
That's good that there is some buzz. I remember last year, my local Walmart was packed to the gills with TFA stuff. A few days later, and there was hardly anything.
I think most hardcore SW fans are excited for Rogue One. I know I am, but I think most casual SW fans will see it, but they won't be as excited as the previous films.
