Last night I went to the 'Star Wars - Episode One Midnight Madness' at a local
Toys R Us in Charlotte, NC. I got there at 11:00 and waited in line four about
an hout before the doors opened. Around three hunred people showed up here to
buy Episode One merchandise.
The store was stock full of Star Wars Legos but not everything. I was the
first person to get to the Legos and they had every Star Wars set except the
Naboo Swamp, Anakin's Pod, Sith Infiltrator, and Tie Fighter & Y-Wing. I don't
know why. When I went to Wal-Mart today, I found them. Srange, I guess.
Stuff got picked over really fast. I got what I wanted, and watched as a swarm
of people took to the Legos. They got all the Mos Espa Pod Race, Gungan Sub,
and X-Wing sets, leaving just a bunch of Snow Speeder, Landspeeder, Speeder
Bikes, Droid Fighter, Lightsaber Duel, and Naboo Fighter sets.
They had more Naboo Fighter sets than any other set; I don't know why. It's a
good set; comes with two Trade Federation Droids. Some guy left the store with
around $1,000 worth of stuff and got on the news. That's what I call a Star
Wars fanatic.
Some guys there told me that there might be an AT-ST, Skiff, Destroyer Droid,
Gaian Speeder, and more coming out next year from Lego. All I want to see is a
smaller set in which I can get a Darth Vader minifig. I still don't have him;
yet I have three Darth Maul minifgs.
