Star Wars Collectors - MIDNIGHT MADNESS!

[orangerful]

So, I wasn't sure if I was going to attend a Midnight Madness for the new line of Clone Wars figures...that is, until I found out there would be NEW Galactic Heroes. So, of course, now I must go. Not sure which Toys R Us it will be but the group is leaning towards Columbia. Apparently if you spend $30 (that's easy) you get a free holographic Grievous figure.

Hasbro has posted 2 pdf guides -- one for the July 26 release, and one as a Fall preview.

I managed to find the Hoth and Naboo TRU Exclusives today, plus the Mighty Muggs Indiana Jones (I passed on Mola Ram and the Sword guy...they were cool but unnecessary). I need to order the Cantina Band & Mos Eisley exclusive sets from Wal-Mart before they sell out! *sigh* I clearly suck at saving money. :\

The Wal-Mart near my house had the GH of Slave Leia, Shaak Ti, Kit Fisto, and Plo Koon (among others) ON DISPLAY last week. I tried to get Leia, not knowing about the Aug 26 thing, and they wouldn't sell it. Boo.

They're all adorable, btw. :)

OMG I MUST have that Ahsoka GH! SO CUTE!

IS'NT SHE??

You're not the only one who has had the toys taken from them, several members of my club had similar incidents. In fact, when I got my toys today, the clerk was worried they would not scan because she had already had an issue earlier today. No one wants to piss off Lucasfilm.

I was talking to one of my friends about it and wondered... if you stole such an item, would it still be considered shop-lifting even though the item isn't for sale? ;)

haha, um...let's not test that theory, shall we? It's only a week away!

LOL nah. Hopefully I'll be able to slap on the ole Snowbunny costume and troop next weekend... snag my Slave Leia early. ^_^

What is this clone wars thing anyway?

I am trying not to think how much midnight madness is going to cost me.. *shudders*

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

yeah, that's why I'm just doing Galactic Heroes...and possibly the Ashoka 3 3/4" figure...and if I see anything else cool, I might have to grab that...

New Star Wars TV show, but the premiere episode will be run in movie theaters in August.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN MAKE LIKE 8 NEW SERIES OF TOYS AND NOT HAVE A SINGLE GORRAM LUKE. WHY IS IT THAT THE FLAPPIN MAIN CHARACTER OF THE ORIGINAL SERIES GETS SO SHUNNED? WHY? THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME. CAPSLOCKS MUST BE USED.

IT MAKES NO SENSE.

I believe there is at least one Luke because the Luke!Jedi collector in the DCSWCC just put out an APB to midnight shoppers to look for a Luke for him.

But, yes, the OT gets no love. :\
