Something of a tradition has begun over the last 2 Star Wars films. The tradition of lining up. And no, I’m not talking about lining up for the movie… I’m talking about lining up for the toys.
I remember the huge 2 day long line up in front of the stores in Saskatoon when the new Attack of the Clones toys were coming out. According to the good folks over at Monsters and Critics we can expect a lot of the same:
Wal-Mart stores across the US will be opening at 12:01 a.m. on April 1st to celebrate the launch of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith toys and games.
In addition, on April 2 & 3, approximately 400 Wal-Mart Supercenters across the country will be hosting the ultimate “48 Hours of the Force” Star Wars fan celebration event. This celebration includes interactive toy & game demonstrations from Hasbro, product sampling, Star Wars character appearances, and, while supplies last, free Star Wars force detection collectable cards. There is a different collectable card for each day.
Oh man, I still remember my first Star Wars toys. My favorite had to be the Hoth Snow Speeder or the first Millenium Falcon. Oh yes! Wonder geek powers activate!
