UPDATE: See below fro our buddy Justin's report from New York:
"Just wanted to share some of the pics I took from TCW Mall Tour that is going on this weekend here in NY.
I even took two pics of the Cartoon Network employees holding a copy of SW Insider and Force-Cast badge that I brought along with me!
The event was geared towards young kids mostly (though I had a blast there for sure). The event's activities/features included:
- Gaming stations with 32" LCD screens where fans can play the Nintendo Wii lightsaber duel game. - A 50" plasma TV with small round floor sets where kids can sit and watch clips from the TV series. - An "Are You A Worthy Jedi?" game where fans have to "pretend" to levitate a ring attached to the tip of a lightsaber along a metal rod without touching the sides. - A green screen photo station where fan can dress up in Jedi robes and have their images edited in alongside Jedi Knights. - Cool backlit signs depicting all of the main CW characters. - Large banners promoting the TV series.
I spoke to a few fans in attendance while walking around the booth, and they were very pumped up for the debut of the series.
All in all, it was a very cool time at the event."
Thanks Justin!
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.
