Saturday, May 1st:

Darth Maul Mt. Dew

FFuzz found some Mt. Dew with Darth Maul on the cans at Shopko in Dubuque. Shopkos here should be getting them soon I would guess.

Sith Speeder

Necklace was able to get a Sith Speeder with Darth Maul from the Walgreen's near Verona Rd. It didn't scan, so they sold it to him for $5.99.

May 3rd Info

May 3rd is almost here. This is what I expect to see. If you have anything to add or know of errors in what I have posted, e-mail me right away.

TRU: Opens at 12:01 midnight until their normal closing time Monday night. They will have 2 of the 3 U-shaped sections in the front of the store dedicated to Star Wars. This will house the "larger than normal" truckload of merchandise that they are getting soon.

Kay-Bee Toys: They open early at 8:00am. They weren't able to open at 6:00am like most other KB stores since the mall management here in Madison wouldn't allow it.

Wal-Mart: They appear to be opening at their normal time. They have been getting in lots of merchandise over the last couple weeks.

Shopko: Open at normal time. They are already starting to set up for the toys. Most stores have the Star Wars isle (both sides) cleared out and ready for the new toys. All that is in the isle is the little bit of Star Wars stuff that they have had and some rubber totes to fill in the open space.

K-Mart: Opens at their normal time. Supposedly getting a lot of stuff but it's hard to tell by looking at them. They have a sign up telling customers that EP1 merchandise goes on sale on the 3rd, but that's it. The toy section is the normal over packed mess that it usually is.

Movie Tickets:

According to the Marcus web site, tickets go on sale May 12th at 2:00pm. They can be purchased at the box-office or by phone at 291-FILM.
