Hey... I was just at the Wal-Mart at Lougheed Mall in Burnaby, B.C. I picked up the Yoda/Saruman set last week, and the only other thing they had was the technic Jango Fett. But today...! They had Anakin and the Sandpeople (which I bought), the (...) (22 years ago, 15-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

The reason those sets were out on the floor was the same reason Wal-Mart is so successful. See, Wal-Mart can have lower prices on things because they have no inventory in the back. They have 99.9% of their products on the floor, so they can dedicate (...) (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I dunno-- I'm almost tempted to say that Star Trek could've hurt the sci-fi market for SW had it been first. First off, effects. One of the HUGE things SW did was the great effects. Chances are ST would've had the same cheezy effects that (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I doubt this would have been true mostly because ST the Motion Picture was just a little to slow. It was closer to 2001 ASO then it was SW. SW had blasters firing and a much faster script. Plus ST tries to base in self in some sort of "future (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Several TRU's are gonna have the Midnight Madness when Episode II toys come out. Check out www.theforce.net and look under Collecting. They have a list of all participating TRU locations. BTW.

Before this, most studios did cheesy effects 'in house' (2001 being a noteable exception, those were pretty (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Another thing that made a big difference (IMO) is that before Star Wars, there was a fairly long drought of 'big' science fiction movies. Sure, there were some movies around, but not many. So I think people were much more receptive to Star (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)
