    Episode II toys are being released at Toys'r'Us tonight at Midnight, and one of the actors from ANH will be at the Chadstone store to sign posters. I think his name is Peter Sumner, the Australian actor who had the line "TK-421, why aren't you at your post, etc...".

    Let me know if you go and meet him. Sadly, it is too late for me, I have to get up at 6am for work.

    Also by the way, I picked up a copy of the Episode II novel today at Kmart Chadstone, released a day early...

    I wish I could go. If not for the figures just for the entertainment. Seeing people kill each other for a Count Dooku figure, or exchanging fisticuffs to get there grubby paws on a Jedi Star Fighter. Man I wish I was there and had a camcorder.

    So what did everyone buy today??? I got there after school and there was still everything there, except for the Slave 1 ship. There was still dozens of action figures, I got Obi-wan's lightsabre and a few action figures... what about everyone else???

    The only things that I have bought so far are the novel, the Cross-Sections and the Visual Dictionary.

    I have always wanted to get a lightsaber, but the Anakin / Dooku ones are about $65! :(

    Personally, I would love to get one of the Master Replica sabers!

    Yeah, I'd love to get a master replica too but they're way too expensive :(

    I bought Obi-wan's one and it cost me $50 I think...

    I was at the Chadstone opening.

    Total maddness.

    200 - 300 people I'd say and the lightsabers and Slave 1's just disappeared as fast as they appeared from the storeroom.

    Peter Sumner was great and is a really nice guy to talk to.

    Shame you all couldn't be there, but try to make the effort to get along to the next Skyforce....it's gunna be a hoot.

    I went there the next day, and the only thing missing was the Jango figures, but I went to Target and I got one there, with a slave 1.
    Musn't be many fans in Frankston...

    ahh...the best place to go for figures would definately be a toss up for K-Mart in Burwood, Comics'R'Us in Prahran or a little shop in Elsternwick called Comixfactor. All of these shops have a large range of figures - especially hard to find ones like Saesee Tiin, Nikto Jedi and Jar Jar Senator
