I went to TRUE in Reno NV, basically to see what they would have.
When I arrived there there was about 50 people in line waiting in the
cold wind (30ish). When the doors opened 11:55 pm They said that they
were going to et 10 people into the store at a time, and that what is
out on the shelves is all that they have, no limits buy 1 or 2 or three
cases. People jumped for joy!.
The display behind the counter had a life sized Battle Droid that
stood about 6 ft. tall, made out of construction paper. Several models
of EP4,5,6. both old and new. I must say the Battle Droid was cool.
The Lego's were in short demand, there were a lot of the Land
Speeder (about half of a shelf), Sith Infiltrater, Naboo Fighter, Naboo
Swamp, Pod Racer set, and Anikins Pod Racer. Like I said slim pickings
unless you wanted the Land Speeder.
As I was waiting in line, one guy had three shopping carts full of
figs and toys. He said he expected to pay about a grand a cart. All I
could think of was dumb !#*. He even offered to pay $500.00 for the
Paper Battle Droid behind the counter. (He did not get it)
As for me I bought the Naboo Swamp and the Naboo Fighter. I will get
the rest later.
Enjoy
Wolfee.
