That's quite a convenient branch for some, so I imagine that its a useful addition to the list.
Sure is as it's just 5 mins from my pad and is fully covered. ;)

Okay here's an interesting update. Thanks to Mike Lee for doing the digging on this one, but we've just heard that some branches of The Warehouse (Albany, Manukau, Lyall Bay, Riccarton and Invercargill) will be having midnight openings too. They've mentioned that they'll have some special pricing for all of Force Friday (Sep 4th). That fills some gaps around the country.

I have just been in to the Ballance street Toyworld to find out about the night in question and spoke to the owner operator and he has mentioned that there is plenty of parking space around the venue and he has ample space for troopers to kit up out the back of his shop.
He would just like to know how many would be turning up and what costumes would be trooping for the event.
Also for those trooping the offer for staff pricing is available as well on the new releases. :) .
Again the amount of troopers would need to be emailed to him which I can forward to him if need be for the night.

Just a note that the 501st Legion and Rebel Legion are in specific, direct discussions regarding these events. Events involving members of those clubs are organised on their respective forums. If you're making any independent arrangements, can you please make sure he understands that that is the case, just so lines of communication don't get confused in any way. :)

It should be :) There are a few conversations going on that might yield a few more details yet too.

Hey Matt, OK, thanks, just thought that if there were any other members of SWNZ not a member of the 501st yet with a costume might want to organise together for the night.
