I've just been into Toys'R'Us in Southampton, and they've got all the Episode II models now. Yoda, Tusken Raiders, new Slave I, Gunship, Jango Fett and the Super Battle Droid (they've had Starfighters for a while now). They've also got a pile of (...)

I just got back from TRU. I had a great time. Waited about 4 hours in line outside talking to some people more or less just for the fun of it. The TRU I was at in Tulsa is I think the only store that opened at midnite in the state. For episode 1 I (...) (22 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)
