If this was Japan we'd probably be able to get SW:Ep II toilet paper as well.

They actually do that stuff over there.

And this is old news but still keen:)

[Jedi Master Leia Solo]

:lol Jedah..true true..TRUE!

Its all over the place! Seen two types of these boxes today. I bought this one.

Then of course Frito Lay has EP2 all over the place.

And..aren't the figures due out possibly tomorrow? I dunno Obi said something about that..anyway....

Leave it to Lucas on Merchandising:lol

[Darth Lynch]

The figures are indeed out tomorrow.

Wouldnt surprise me if some stores are open midnight for it.

Read about one toy store putting them out early by mistake three or so days ago which was amusing:)

[imported_Dara Shadowtide]

*waves and goes midnight shopping for fun :crack

[Jedi Master Leia Solo]

OMG...you are sooo right!!O_o

Guess who worked for TRU at midnight when they released EP1 figures???!!

ME!!!!!:p

I even got to do the displays! Darn..should go there now!! LOL!

[Live Wire]

oooh! Now I have an excuse to go grocercy shopping

[Shawn]

Ack.

@ signs instead of O's... methinks Leia has been hanging out at E-Bay a wee bit much.

[Strider]

Well I got to get up early anyway...

I'm going to WALMART!!!

[Palpatine]

Figureines are released in Australia already

Most cool they are, I went to look today. WARNING! FIGUREINES ARE SPOLIERS! EXAMPLE BELOW!!

The figurines are major spoilers of course. Plo Koon is I think a fairly major one. There is a few hints of the powers he has and all I can say to the naysayers about Warroir Jedi is BBBBBBBFFFFFFTTTTTT!!!!! it's even more clear some Jedi love a fight because he is clearly listed as a Jedi warrior. He also has this really cool Force Blast thingie that clearly shows the Jedi also throw energy about - quite a surprise! The figures and toys are all quite good quality and detail. They have life sized Lightsabres with full sized retractable "blades" too!

[Shawn]

Ack... I want to look, but I don't. :(

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I can see Darth Vader right now, his formidible hulk dwarfing me as he stands before me, that helmet; black as death with the eyecovers boring into my very being, and the sound of his respirator filling my ears as his voice says menacingly:



They're after me lucky lightsabers!

[imported_Dara Shadowtide]

*trudges back in with several sacks full o' goodies and a considerably lighter wallet.. :p

Ok, now I actually saw some guy there in front of me on a cell phone working with another shopper at another store saying he needs 80 clone troopers.. who NEEDS 80 clone troopers!?!?!? :lol Then he kept talking on the phone.. ok I can spot you 30 Yodas.. you got Jangos? I was like um.. excuse me, can I just get my one?

It was rather mild at my Walmart. At 11:30 p.m. there were myself and about 8 guys and I think they were wondering what I was doing there, lol. At 12:01 the ropes opened and we were off. Twas lots of fun though.. although not everything was out on the shelves yet.. No Dooku yet.. *sniff*

[Marcus Telcontar]

The Aussie Dooku ones are cool.... Warning, spoiler again!

And clearly label Dooku as Tyranus. Like how much spolier can you get?!?!

[Figrin D'an]

TRU was pretty busy... about 200 people or so in line, I was about in the middle. No problems, though. The entire front 3rd of the store was nothing but Episode II stuff. While everyone else was grabbing figures and playsets, I calmly grabbed the Lego sets, a copy of the soundtrack (Jango cover) and was out before people started to barter and trade stuff...

Got the "Action Figure Archive" book, too. Everyone that made a purchase got one for free. I paged through it... it's pretty sweet... a nice touch of nostalgia. :)

[Sanis Prent]

Well, I went to my local Wal-Mart Supercenter (since its 24-7, and my TRU didn't do midnight madness.) Waded through a SWARM of crazy SW freak college students, chatted with a couple of frat boys as we dug through the lot. Couldn't find the generic Obi or Anakin, or even Dooku, so I will look tomorrow. Also couldn't find the comic, so I'll also get that later. But I got Jango Fett, Boba Fett, both SW cereal boxes, and Jango Fett's double blasters.

[Arya Ravenwing]

Goodness I'm going to have to hit Walmart tomorrow then before work. I think. :eek I'll probably MISS everything. Wait, I could go right now...but....no. :D

[Hoshi No Shikyo]

WHO THE HELL IS Dooku?

*:huh*

The city I live in ain't all SW-sy....So I'm lost here.......

[imported_QuiGonJ]

Non spoilery? That's Christopher Lee's character.

I lucked out and a local store sold me what seem to be most of the hard-to-get ones Friday. I'll be looking for more today.

[Jedi Master Leia Solo]

Heehee...I bought some of the figures!!:rollin

And..yep Charley, I had two guys talking to me about the movie and the figures! :p

But..tell ya what, if you don't want spoilers, you might not want to buy them!:\

[imported_Dara Shadowtide]

Or if you're like me, you just grab the toys and you don't read the cards yet. :lol I'm really trying my best to stay spoiler free this go around as well. I even bought the Episode I soundtrack way back when it first came out and didn't read the tracks since it was said that one of the tracks told a definite spoiler.. which of course was track 15, Qui-Gon's Noble End.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Qui Gon DIED?! :cry:cry

Oh wait. I knew that.

:D I will be hitting the stores today and see what I can't live without. I'm not much of a toy collector.

[Live Wire]

damn.......my summer concert schedules wiping out my toy funds

Christopher Lee?

:huh

I hate canada sometimes.....

*goes off to mope*

[Figrin D'an]

Did you see "The Fellowship of the Ring"?

If so, Christopher Lee was the guy that played Saruman the White, the other wizard besides Gandalf. Lee has been around film for a looooooong time... he's probably best known for his roles in older horror films. Great great actor... he's going to be awesome in AOTC. :)

If you want to know a lot about Episode II, just stick around for a few days... we have people on this board that might know more about the movie than some Lucasfilm staff. :lol

[Live Wire]

just be warned there are plenty of evil people out there who want to spoil you for the film! Dont listen to them! They're EEEEEVVVVVIIIIILLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alpha]

First off, that Cereal is disturbing...Second...I need to get those toys.

And waht exactly is a TRU?

[Jedi Master Leia Solo]

Toys R Us...Satine!! :D ;)

[Live Wire]

the cereal isnt disturbing! I wish they had cereal like that when I was a kid....not that my mom would have bought it.

[Dalethria Mal Pannis]

:: eats her boring special K and likes it ::

[Shawn]

I eat just about any kind of cereal, and like them all equally. I just try to get a different kind every time I go shopping.

[Marcus Telcontar]

I detest overly sweet breakfast cereal. And I agree with Satine, the concept of a AOTC cereal is disturbing and goign too far.

[Strider]

LOL! I didn't see any cereal, but I saw Figures, Lightsabers, and Legos!

[TheHolo.Net]

My kids are already eating it. :p

[Figrin D'an]

They did, LW... it was called "C-3PO's", and it was aweful...
Even the Star Wars freak that I was as a child couldn't stomach that crap...

[imported_Firebird1]

Alright...

[Lady Vader]

*Jumps up and down, clapping hands*

Crunchy munchies with marshmallows!!!

:crack

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I swear, one of those marshmallows; I can't tell what it's supposed to be, but it looks a little bit like a smurf.

[Shawn]

How can a thread be hijacked by the original topic of it? :huh

[imported_Firebird1]

Sure it can, haven't you ever heard of cereal going past it's freshness date???

[Hyphenated]

Okay, well I went shopping, but I wasn't looking for toys, I was trying to get some chips (had a coupon! woohoo!)

Lo and behold, there were three different Lays Potato Chips with AOTC designs. I got two of the Sour Cream and Onion ones because those are my favorite and I could get four bags with my coupon.

The regular flavor (salt! ;)) has Amidala on the front, BBQ has Anakin and Jango Fett and the SC&O has Yoda on it. :) Yay! I got something AOTC! :D

[Sanis Prent]

mmm one box down, one box left to go.

[Alpha]

Leia~Oh...I've just always called it Toys R Us. *shrugs* Wish I had one of those in my town...that and some money...Oh well, I head up to the malls, Wall MArt and TRU (now that I know an abbrv. of it. :)) in a week or two. :D

[Live Wire]

*cries cause shes too poor to buy toys* damn my wango tango floor seats!


Oh well I dont think Im toooo poor to add on to my lightsaber collection.

[Alpha]

Lucky you have enough money for that. I can't even afford a pack of Magic cards...Or a Sobe...

[Live Wire]

well I work so I have some money

[Taataani Meorrrei]

But you blow your money on overpriced, really gay concerts.

[Saarrreeaa Meorrrei]

:lol That wasssn't njice, Motherrr.

^okay, that was just disturbing to call you Mom. :uhoh

[Live Wire]

lol! Actually I dont. I've been to MB20 twice and both days of wango tango last year. Im going to wango tango this year and Im going to the pink concert. I may go see alanis morissette if I can find someone to go with.

And I dont pay more then 100 and thats only for wango tango cause its a huge music festival and so its more expensive

[Alpha]

Hey! I have a job! I sell papers, though that doesn't make much money...

[Taataani Meorrrei]

YOU FREAK!

Pink Sucks, Alanis Sucks, Wango Tango Sucks...

...and the most I've ever paid in my right mind to see MB20 was 9 bucks, and I got to see 12 other bands that day, too!

And the most I've ever spent for a concert ticket....35 bucks for Bush and Veruca Salt, back in 1996.

[Live Wire]

well you live in alabama! I live in LA!!! Cost of living is more here ya doofus! You dont even know who was at wango tango last year! :mneh!

If Im supposed to be jealous or hurt keep trying.

[Taataani Meorrrei]

Brittney Spears, Ricky martin, BSB, Samantha Mumba, Joe, Krystal, Jessica Simpson, The Blue Man group, Shaggy, Nellie Fertado, 3LW, Nikka Costa, Wayne Neuton, Aerosmith, American Hi-Fi, Eden's Crush, Virtical Horizon, Dream, Turese, performance of "Lady Marmalade" (Christina Aguilera, Maia, Missy Eliot (Lil Kim was not present)), Bee Gees


And out of all those, the only ones who are worth a damn are Shaggy (most stuff), and Vertical Horizon (one or two songs)

Nobody likes Aerosmith, and their bubblegum post-armageddon bullcrap.

That concert is lame.

[Live Wire]

lol! geez. britney didnt perform. 3lw sucked. Nikka costa I'd never heared of and havent heared of since. Edens crush dont get me started on that fake crap. Dream was so so. wayne nuton was there for the old crowd. But everything else was awesome. Shaggy brought the house down. That was soo cool!

I dont care what you think. I liked it and I had fun!
