TK-1420 reports:"501st Star Garrison's STX Squad will be at Midnight Madness at the Baybrook Toys R Us store (1449 W Bay Area Blvd, Webster, TX 77598) on the evening of July 25th."
DZ-5232 reports:"The Force is still strong with us and on Friday Night, July 25th at 11:00 pm the Toys R Us in Pineville, NC will host a Midnight Madness Toy unveiling event for the toys from the upcoming movie The Clone Wars (release date August 15th). Joining forces at this event are the members of the Carolina Garrison of the 501st, the Charlotte Fan Force and the Rebel Legion’s Freedom Base. Costumed Star Wars characters will be on hand to entertain children and adults while they wait for the store to open at 12:01a.m. for the public to purchase the Clone Wars toys.
Also joining the characters will be R2-KT – an astromech droid featured in the The Clone Wars movie. R2-KT was created in 2005 by Jerry Greene, master droid builder, with the help of the R2 Builders Group. She was built in honor of one very brave little girl named Katie Johnson who had brain cancer. It was Katie's wish to have a pink robot like R2-D2 from Star Wars, so Jerry and the R2 Builders Group worked very hard and created a one-of-a-kind droid named R2-KT (which sounds like R2-Katie)."

Rebelscum Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Patch Posted By Philip on November 25, 2014: Thanks to everybody that ordered patches. I sent a check for $1,600.00 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation on Monday. While it's not as much as I hoped for, it's still very much appreciated. They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
