Actually, I might, seeing as it will be the last one.

But,when people did show up,it was cool,though we were all tired.I was so tired figs were falling off the pegs when I got them. ::)

Post by: Mainland05 on February 15, 2004, 10:47 PM: Midnight Madness 2 for Attack of the Clones was not bad at all, and i live in the town where George Lucas grew up and if anything we have the most Star Wars fans, and the TRU was not participating in the Midnight event so the hot spots were Wal-Mart and when i went at 11:30pm, i was the 4th person in line, then the lines got heavy about 15 mins before 12:01, 30 to 40 people were in line, and the funniest thing was, i only got 7 figures, since i was only 14 people were crowding in front of me, but i still; got what i wanted. But you know what was really funny, there was this guy trying to act like he was in a handicap wheelchair, he used the store one that is mechanical and was in the front of the line and when they let all of us attack the section of toys, he jumped out of the wheelchair and was on his feet, it was so hilarious, so i might plan to do that this time around, he was hogging all the figures too, but whatever. It aint gonna be like that next year, cuz i will be inline at 10:00 so i will get all the good stuff. Know i wonder what the cards are going to look like for the EPIII line?

My WM had only me and about 6 others, 2 of which were "significant others" buying for loved ones. Not many collectors, and nobody I even knew from the local collecting group even.

I'll just stroll into TRU the next morning and score what I need.
