Indeed! It was still worth going to TRU last night. It was amusing to watch
everyone jockeying for position, clawing through the crowd to grab anything they
could. I would not have missed it!
Fortunately for me, almost everyone else was interested in the Hasbro toys, not
the Lego, so I was able to casually stroll in and pick up the sets I wanted.
Just for the hell of it, I did pick up Darth Maul and Battledroid action
figures.
I decided against the Mos Espa Pod Race and the Sith Infiltrator at the time. I
think the pod racers don't translate well to toys (all the fake looking
framework) and the Infiltrator looks kind of crappy to me. Have you assembled
the sets yet? Have an opinion?
