Local Toys R Us: Tigard, Clackamas, Eugene, Medford.
Does anyone one want to meet up for this since there are multiple locations?
-Eric

 

Larena said that nobody would really line up for just a new Star Wars movie (not like that's a big deal or anything like that, lol), so I'm sure nobody would line up at midnight for "just" Star Wars toys!

Oh... wait. Yeah, they will. Sounds like fun, I'd be there if I was around that day.

 

lol, I'm just giving you a hard time Larena

 

Well I for one, would like to meet fellow OFF members at Toys R Us. I think I'll be at the Clackamas Toys R Us, in costume as ANH Han Solo.

 

I live decently close to the Tigard store.

 

I'll be at the Clackamas store as well. Imperial Officer or Corran Horn, CorSec.

- Bill

 

so these aren't to be out until July 26th ... if you want them before then head to Salem's Shop-Ko I was there today and they had them out. They look great, but I'm not going to get into them.

-Russ

 

There will be 501st/Rebel Legion members at the Tigard, Clackamas, and Eugene Toys R Us stores. Eugene Toys R Us will be at 10am though.

I for one am looking forward to collecting some of this line, and to the movie Aug 15th.

 

I am looking for all that and TFU!!!

- Bill

 

Is anyone going to show up at any of the Toys R Us's 12:01am besides a few of us costumers??
If not for the new toys, at least come out to see the costumers for a picture.
Or is SW toy collecting not your SW flavor?
I don't see how this release is different than from the prequels' toy release parties, and even for the upcoming MOVIE. THIS is a new Star Wars event, let's celebrate.

 

That's right.... it doesn't matter where you are. If you are a collector of the toys or just want to hang out with some of us costumers, all are welcome to come hang out with us.

Eric and myself will be at the Clackamas Store.

We also have costumers at the Tigard Store at 12:01.

Allan (Quick2) and some guys will be at the Eugene store (at like 10 am... yeah I know, they're a bunch of merries ).

Where ever you may be, there are 3 locations where we all can get together and hang out. So, if you aren't doing anything and want to plan on some activity, come hang out with us. Maybe afterward can all go out for a late-night snack?

- Bill

 

There will be more than just you two! Like me!!!!!

 

Sorry, Rob. I was referring to those of us who were costumers here in the OFF that were scheduled to be there that night. I wasn't wanting to speak on your behalf because it looked like you weren't 100% committed for attending this event, bro!

- Bill

 

Make it 99% homeboy!

 

For those who are going to this in clackamas, when you showing up? Also, is anyone planning on going to the premiere of clone wars at the east port plaza theater? century 16 i think is the name?

 

We'll be there 7/26 Friday night before 12:01am. Hope to see you there. As for the Clone Wars movie premire night, those that are in the costuming groups are looking into the local theaters, although there is some talk about a theater in Vancouver. I would be up to going to a more local theater though.

 

Amen. I'd be there if I could. My friend from Portland is coming down to Los Angeles and we're going to see the movie at one of the bigger local theaters, I don't know if that will be the ArcLight or if it showed at Mann's we might see it there.

 

99% it is, bro!

Like Eric said, it is still up in the air. I would much rather do a closer movie theatre, but nobody can seem to get any information, thus far. Do you know someone at that theatre who wants us costumers out there?

- Bill

 

It's Tonight! Wow, a new figure line for a New STAR WARS movie.
We should be celebrating this. Where's the hype? Were any of you waiting in line for the other figure midnight madness sales?
I just saw a new trailer on TV for the movie. Jabba has a son, and is being protected Anakin and his padawan, too cool.

The 501st Legion and Rebel Legion will have members from the local area attending at the:
Clackamas Toys R Us
Tigard Toys R Us
Eugene Toys R Us (10am)

Hope to meet some members tonight.
-Eric

 

Wow. What a fun time. There was a crowd of at least 50+ people. The 501st/RL members entertained the people in line for pictures and talking. There was an Imperial Officer (AramysStrael), Han Solo (jawafett), a couple of EP3 Clone Troopers, a couple of Sand Troopers, and a Shadow Trooper with a couple of Jawas. Very cool.

Toys R Us has a very large cool display set up for the Clone Wars Toys.

Didn't see or hear of anyone mentioning OFF affiliation. But I did mention the site to a few people.
After the crowd was let in, the madness started, and the racks were cleared of the figures and of the New Huge Millennium Falcon toy, my must have vehicle to get. Other than a few irate collectors not getting their share, I would say that the event went pretty good. Now the hunt begins for those must get Toys.

Next up, the Clone Wars Movie premier night.

Did anyone else go to this event?

-Eric

 

DId anyone pick up some Clone Wars toys yet?
I got a Rex, and General Kenobi. I'll pick and choose which ones I'll collect, but I like the packaging for this line.

 

That's awesome there were so many people there, sounds like the prequels all over again. How fun!
