Boba Rhett Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Well everyone, The ATOC figures were released at midnight tonight and I'm now back from what turned out to be the best time I've ever had at a Wal-Mart. My Toys R Us was not having a Midnight Madness sale on the new Star wars toys but my Wal-Mart was. So my brother, about 13 other people and me arrived there around 11:30pm and waited.....and waited.....and waited.....and waited. Ok ok, so maybe it wasn't that long of a wait. At 12am we see the man pulling a large four sided diplay our way. We all start to clap for him.... Then we all make a mad dash at it. I ended up getting almost everything that I set out for. 1 - Anakin Skywalker (Outland Peasant Disguise) x2 "accidentally got two" 2 - Padmé Amidala (Arena Escape) 3 - Obi-Wan Kenobi (Coruscant Chase) 4 - C-3PO (Protocol Droid) 5 - Kit Fisto (Jedi Master) 6 - Super Battle Droid 7 - Boba Fett (Kamino Escape) x2 8 - Tusken Raider Female with Tusken Child 9 - Captain Typho (Padmé’s Head of Security) 10 - Shaak Ti (Jedi Master) 11 - Battle Droid (Arena Battle) 12 - Plo Koon (Arena Battle) 13 - Jango Fett (Kamino Escape) 14 - R2-D2 (Coruscant Sentry) 15 - Geonosian Warrior Nope 16 - Dexter Jettster (Coruscant Informant) Yep! 17 - Clone Trooper 18 - Zam Wesell (Bounty Hunter) 19 - Royal Guard (Coruscant Security) Nope 20 - Saesee Tiin (Jedi Master) Yep! 21 - Nikto Jedi Knight Yep! 22 - Anakin Skywalker (Hangar Duel) 23 - Yoda (Jedi Master) Nope Chase did though....stupid Chase. 24 - Jar Jar Binks (Gungan Senator) Yep! 25 - Taun We (Kamino Cloner) Nope 26 - Luminara Unduli (Jedi Master) Nope 27 - Count Dooku (Dark Lord) Nope I also picked up a Deluxe Jango Fett. It's pretty cool but his jet pack is Huge. I'm serious. It's maybe 200-250% normal size. I'll be hitting Toys R Us tomorrow morning to try and get the ones I missed tonight. Wish me luck! If you have your own stories to tell. Go ahead and tell them! They can be about any event like this. Also, If anyone here would like to arrange trades with me, tell me.

Boba Rhett Posted April 23, 2002 Author Share Posted April 23, 2002 The hell, Rogue? Well, Toys R Us was a bust. They didn't have anything new so none of us who were there bought anything. I bet the people working there were like, "Why aren't the Star wars geeks buying anything?!?" But it all worked out. I went over to the Kay Bee at the mall and I found the Dexter Jettster, Jar Jar, Nikto and Saesee Tiin. However, still no luck with Yoda, Geonosian Warrior, Royal Guard , Taun We, Luminara Unduli or Dooku. The I headed over to Target were I got the soundtrack and a Dooku Saber.

Rogue15 Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 lol i'm a bit jealous. However, i'm going to save my $$$ and get Jedi Outcast and maybe get a figure while i'm at it. What i really want is a lightsaber though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artoo Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 It's almost time for my anual binging of figures. I have all the Ep.I ones. So maybe this summer I'll go after all of them. That'll make a good weekly project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DashRendar Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Just hope that that one kind is one of the ones Rhett didn't get-then you can taunt him forever...or at least until HE gets it, o well it ought to last a minute or two;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
