Choice!

As much as I'd like to head to Wellington, it looks like I'll be in Auckland for this one, so I'll see you all there.

Hey Wellington crew, I wonder if, in honour of Force Friday, we want to think about perhaps holding another Wretched Hive meet up on the Saturday afternoon or evening afterwards; to compare notes and hauls? It may be too soon since out last one and we might all be a big shagged from being up till midnight the evening before, but it could be a fun excuse for a get-together.

How bout before the actual event, I'd be pushing it to come down twice, especially after the midnight madness on the Friday morning.
Plus I'm already booked for Saturday evening, going to a farewell for a couple of friends of mine going to move to the Phillippines.

Pity, would be nice to catch up, I'll expect to see lots of photos

I can confirm that Toyworld Albany have committed to a midnight opening for Force Friday. This is a great venue for a nighttime event, as it is surrounded by very close proximity parking. This is probably the one we'll be going to (Saf, we can help with transport if you want to go to that branch).

I have had communiques from other Toyworld branches who are still finalising their plans for Force Friday, which may include more midnight release(s) and/or other promotions for the normal retail hours of September 4th. I'll post additional information as it comes to hand.

Might steal this idea for Auckland too, if there is demand.

Sing out if you want to coordinate/convoy.

I like the idea of a decent sized group going to one of these. Albany is as good as anywhere in Auckland. I just hope they have a good selection of fun

I'm going to try and summarise all events and promotions in a single thread here. If corrections/additions are required, please post them in this thread.

Yes, that'd be awesome if you could! Aww, yay, I'm really glad Albany's doing it.

I might be keen! I might be heading out of the city on the Saturday, but I'm not entirely sure yet.

Excellent idea Strone! And Saturday night would give us all a chance to recover from the Friday frenzy

Unfortunately Thursday (and Friday) nights would be out for me. I don't want to count you out though badges, so I'll put out the word for both nights - as some others might prefer Thursday over Saturday as well. Stay tuned!
