We (501st) were invited to a number of midnight releases at stores around NZ thurs night last week. Even had a instagram shoutout from the lead role actors to this side of the world since NZ/AU were the first to kick it off.  This things got crazy figures hanging over it with an Overwhelming push on E7 gear visible at warehouses etc. Probably $540-630m opening, but I digress..

Don't watch if you don't like seeing new things broken on purpose :)

Curiosity killed the geeks.
