...Still, it'll be hard not to make a few purchases in all of that midnight excitement

Yeah, and I don't mind giving them a bit of support if they're going to the trouble of celebrating Star Wars in this way.

That's a really good point Matt

Definitely!

I’ll be travelling for this, as “it’ll be like old times, Luke.”

At this point, the only thing I’ll buy is Aftermath, if it’s available… still, I know a lot of people with birthdays coming up, so I’ll probably buy a bit, just to support the people making it an event!

[Harvey Mushman]

Like always, New Zealand will celebrate this before the rest of the world, so I am looking forward to more great memories from the Wars!

Also, since the trailer – an actual trailer, not another teaser – isn’t dropping at Disney D23, it’s safe to say that we’ll see it on the Saturday.

I probably won't be going after a huge haul that first night though. If it's at Toyworld, then prices will be at a premium, and there will be plenty of better deals at Farmers and The Warehouse over the coming weeks. Still, it'll be hard not to make a few purchases in all of that midnight excitement

It'll be fun to get into the spirit of a midnight launch, so I'm keen in principle and am bound to pick up a couple of choice items on the night, but I am with you on the lighter haul, Arc, for all the same reasons. I totally agree that we should support our local retailers, though I suspect I'll be struggling to reconcile my desires with my budget!

While it has been said that the quantity of product allocated to each store might be on the lighter side due to demand outstripping supply, this stuff should be everywhere. I suspect there might just be one or two highly desirable items that we might be wise to jump on for fear of them being scarce later.

For people who are doing this in Auckland, is there any chance I could tag along with you? Haha!

Are you on the North Shore? We'll definitely be attending (yet to confirm where, if we get more than one choice of Auckland event location).

[Harvey Mushman]

From all accounts, there is nothing happening in Wellington, so I'll head up to Auckland for it...

I think I just shed a tear of joy... My childhood is back!

It's even got the old-school MM logo!

Woah, talk 'bout a trip back to the Nineties!
