Wonder if that app-enabled BB-8 droid will be one of those free tech gifts to the first 100 people? It's shown on the promotion page.

Lol no. Free doorbusters are low value items. If they were giving droids they would announce it and loudly beforehand. Anyways I don't even think a store has 100 to sell for xmas slot.

Correct.

I just got back from the "special" event. They had some tv sales, game system bundles, speakers and couple other things. Nothing big that I saw, I didnt buy anything. Sadly no BluRays, or games were on sale.

And if anyone is curious the free items were a wireless insgnia mouse, and a dual port car charger, and 2 lollipops. :P

I forgot that this was even happening today. Seems like it was quite eventful.

Doh, I totally forgot about this -- was too busy picking up toy deals at TRU and Target, among other things.

Looks like I didn't miss much.
