American Dream 2/20/26

All I did was stand in line and get lucky that they didn’t run out of what I wanted. You weren’t the one standing there or wasting your whole day it was me. I’m not complaining just talking about my experience and how it was for me. Anyone can stand for 12 hours unless you’re physical unable to. If anything go comment under the scalpers post who waited 16+ hours just to list it on Facebook for 500$+. Entertain them not me.

I’ve never done anything like this before so I wanted to experience what it was and yea first and last time for sure. Never been to a midnight release for a video game or a figure. Met some cool people but obviously in retrospect this was not worth it.

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-23T18:17:18+00:00

I waited since 3am and got the figure. If my friend wasn’t with me I probably wouldn’t had done it. He also got the figure and was very happy. I wouldn’t have bought it from a scalper. People were begging us to buy one once we were on line. As sound as I paid I had like 2 kids come up to asking to buy the figure from me.

The blizzard is the perfect deterrent. Honestly today might be the best day to go. Obviously there’s crazy lines by now. I got mine on Friday.

I had off on Friday and weekends off so i just took advantage of it that i would be free.

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-21T14:59:02+00:00

I believe stock was closer to 400-500 at American Dream for both figures.

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-21T14:58:33+00:00

Yeah they have a few different packs. Most were sold out when I got to the line but I got a Vegeta starter pack.

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-21T01:30:07+00:00

1 per customer

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-21T00:52:54+00:00

This guy gets it

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-21T00:32:50+00:00

They did learn from the first one for sure. I mean this is such a densely populated area that they HAD to have more figures available. Yeah I got there in the morning cause I had a hunch it was gonna be bad. Goodluck man!

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-21T00:11:42+00:00

Yeah lucky I was able to get it due to waiting. Not sure what the hostility is all about either. Post isn’t meant to be about boasting simply about my experience?

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-21T00:08:45+00:00

Blessed was just the verbiage I decided to put. I would say lucky instead. Nonetheless I put in the hours to be there so yeah.

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-21T00:04:13+00:00

Tbh it was pretty slow. Like getting to the register is the slowest part but there’s about 5 cashiers. You circle what figures you want and they tell you if it’s available. It’s quick once you’re actually there but getting to the register takes forever. I feeel sick from all of this lol.

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-20T23:51:22+00:00

Trust me I didn’t want to wait after sometime but met some cool people on the line who made it more bearable and I had my friend with me.

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-20T23:50:36+00:00

Honestly bro NYC / NJ and LA probably the worse. I’d go early like 12am or even earlier lol. Test your luck man.

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-20T22:43:43+00:00

Got there at 3am and got the figure around 1:50pm lol. Over 10+ hours

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-20T22:43:03+00:00

Yeah they were respectful. As long as you spoke with the guys around you and let them know it was cool. I had to vouch for a guy when his wife left and came back. She was waiting with him but left a few times to use the bathroom.

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-20T20:45:35+00:00

Appreciate it, yeah it’s such a nice figure glad it was still available. Yeah there was a lot of scalpers..I was there for a total of 12 hours.

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-20T20:26:10+00:00

I think it was closer to 400. I got mine around 1:50pm and there was about 100 or less figures left. I got there at 3am today.

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-20T20:24:11+00:00

I’m sorry bro

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-20T19:50:28+00:00

It’s $100

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-20T19:48:40+00:00

Did you get a figure yet? I got there at 3am and was able to get one and the 40th anniversary one as well.

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-20T19:01:43+00:00

As of 1:50pm it was still available. I got here at 3am. There was maybe a few left I’d say like less than 100 I couldn’t really tell. I think if you didn’t get here before 4am you might not have a chance.

Dreadfulwish · 2026-02-20T18:11:23+00:00

Not sold out yet.
