TRU Midnight Madness


attack of the clones

News about the upcoming April 23rd "Midnight Madness" events at Toys'R'Us locations has been trickling in to RTM from various sources. Here is an official blurb from Hasbro:


STAR WARS MIDNIGHT MADNESS EVENT: Toys "R" Us Times Square 1514 Broadway (at 44th Street) For more information call the Toys "R" Us Times Square Special Events Hotline: 646-366-8855 Toys "R" Us Times Square will open at 12:01am on Tuesday, April 23 (early morning Tuesday/late night Monday) to begin selling the latest merchandise for Star Wars: Attack of the Clones. This will be the first opportunity that Star Wars collectors will be able to purchase the new Star Wars merchandise. Be the first to pick it up at Toys "R" Us Times Square. From Action Figures to Legos---Toys "R" Us Times Square is the place to be on Tuesday, April 23--don't miss your spot on line! Special Offers from Hasbro and Lego on the night of the event.

An inside source has also revealed that there will be another 120 TRU locations open for Midnight Madness (list below) in addition to the Times Square location.

It was also revealed that each store will have 12 collectors books (about collecting SW toys) which will be given to the first twelve guests who purchase $50 or more of Hasbro Star Wars products at the Midnight Madness event. (The Times Square location will have these books for the first 700, rather than just the first 12.) The books were described as being 100 to 200 pages, in a softcover format. TheForce.net is reporting that the books in question are Steve Sansweet's "Star Wars: the Action Figure Archive," which happily fits the description that RTM was given. (RTM reader Phil points out that this book is currently available at bn.com for $4.98!)
