Just got back from the Episode III Midnight Madness at the Morena Toys R Us in San Diego, so here are some pictures I took. By 10:30, the line was wrapped around the store.

Some pics from inside the store. My friend and I were the first ones in, but since we were waiting on people who were helping out with the line (and couldn't buy their stuff until the majority of people cleared out), we went back in to get some pics:

This was the bad place to be. The area where the 3 3/4 figures were was a constant feeding ground. Like tossing fresh meat into a pool of piranhas. A case of figures would go up and instantly be cleared from the shelf. So eventually they just parked an employee there and gave him a constant stream of cases to just hand out figures to people:

My haul:

3 3/4 figures:
Padme
Darth Vader
C-3PO
Holographic Yoda (Toys R Us exclusive. Store had less than 24)

Unleashed figures:
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Anakin Skywalker
General Grievous
Aayla Secura

What? People line up for that stuff over in the US?
I was in my local Target the other day as they were setting up the stands for the toys, I had a browse through them, didn't look like anything special..

I am amazed I cant find the Unleashed figures anywhere. I guess I will have to wait a month for the next shipment to get in.

Check Wal Mart.

Toys R Us completely sold out of them during Midnight Madness. I went to a Wal Mart yesterday and they had plenty.

I checked one of my town's wal-marts an the target. Still nothing, I can wait. No rush really.
