    swguru2004 that is the meanest trick I've ever seen anyone pull on this forum.

    I got up early today and drove out to Oceanside from Escondido, which is about a 25-30 mile drive for me. I got to Best Buy when they opened and they did not have any version of Battlefront.

    I asked if they were ever selling it and I was told that they have NOT sold it yet, it was NOT ever on the shelf, and they will NOT be selling it until Tuesday.

    Manabyte: All I know is that during my shift last night (5 to 11) is that Victor who is my supervisor had put out Battlefront, and we were selling it...I asked him, and he said that the street date in the computer was today, I said NO, told him what I knew and he showed me in computer that it said today...so, he said we will sell them today. I was like whatever. SO i figured I would let everyone here have the heads up. My only conclusion is that they must have found the error in the computer and corrected it...


    P.S.- Srry for the off topic post

    I'll have Darth Mitch-al with me for a couple of hours until his dad can pick him up; but I'll be sure to dress him in his Jango outfit.

    Or maybe Buzz Lightyear. ;)

    What sorts of things can everyone bring to have on display on the table? Perhaps I can get the manager to play Star Wars music in the store that evening, and perhaps play the movie on the store's TV screens? What else can any of you think to do that would add to the atmosphere?

    Well everyone I hope you have a good time. Please post some pictures of all the happenings. This is my last post
    until I go to Chicago. I will post pictures when I return from the Chicago Best Buy Midnight madness. Cross your fingers that my plane isn't late because I get there at 7:00pm and I don't want to miss it. I just hope the mapquest map I printed gets me there.
    I'll be back on wednsday night, HAVE FUN :D

    I'd duel if someone would be generous enough to loan me a parks lightsaber. I'm more than confident my replica one would break on first contact.

    If I remember, I'll bring some practice blades for my parksaber. You would have to duel outside and far away from any people so that there is no chance of anyone getting hurt.

    Here is a link to the MapQuest map:

    (you'll have to copy and past because it's too long for this software to direct link)

    The address is acutally in San Diego, not Del Mar.

    I haven't unpacked my costumes yet, but I think I know where my Parksabers are buried, and I have about an hour between classes today to run home and dig for them. Will try to bring all of them if I can find them.

    I get out of class between 9:30 and 10:30, then I'll head straight up there to Del Mar.

    I've been sick since Saturday, but I'll be there and in armor so I don't think I will get anyone else sick.

    Everyone please remember that you have to pay $5 prior to midnight in order to guarantee the $34.99 price and a poster. Please help spread the word to those in line that they must do this as well.

    Hi, I am currently not a member, but I will be attending this midnight release party. Any chance that you'd let me reserve a copy for $5?

    Also, I was wondering what exactly is going to be happening between 8pm and midnight? Trivia and stuff?

    when you show up, you can reserve your own copy with the store for $5 before midnight, and then pay the rest after midnight!

    what's going on?
    trivia contests, prize giveaways, characters in costume and more!
