Star Wars: The Force Awakens revolves around the story of staff-wielding scavenger Rey.

(That’s hardly a spoiler; she’s front-and-center in the movie poster, after all.)

But in the world of Star Wars toys, Rey’s been hard to find — and fans took to social media, under the hashtags #WheresRey and #WhereisRey, to complain about all the movie merchandise that left her out.

Target’s Star Wars figurine 6-pack? Finn, Chewbacca, Poe, Kylo Ren and two unnamed characters: a Stormtrooper officer and a First Order TIE fighter.

Central heroine: Nowhere in sight.

Bedspread? No Rey. Disney store display? No Rey. Barnes and Noble bobbleheads? No Rey. Walgreen’s shelves? No Rey.

In some of the Rey-less displays, her products might not have been stocked by individual stores — or may have sold out.

But in many other cases, toys featuring her simply hadn’t been released.
