(SC) Nov 16 - Best Buy Battlefront Launch (Charleston)

Post by silverBoyd »

Members of the Carolina Garrison, in the N. Charleston sector, attended the midnight release for the new Star Wars Battlefront video game at Best Buy. Upon arrival, @ 10:30pm there were 10-12 anxious attendees waiting to get inside the doors and purchase the game. By the time the evening was over there were around 30+ guests.

The Rebel Legion was also in attendance during this evening and setup a booth alongside 501st Legion members. The doors opened to the public @ 11:30pm and fans took pictures, browsed props, signed up for more info about joining the Legion and grabbed their copy of the game. Best Buy had a few great setups featuring merchandise, the new video game, apparel, toys and they even went as far as setting up a 60" HDTV along with a PS4 and let attendees play the game while they waited in line. At 12:01 am, Best Buy opened their registers and the game was finally available for purchase. It was a really late evening but a great time trooping this midnight launch with some great troopers. Both Imperial and Rebel. Best Buy even handed out limited edition Battlefront patches to the Rebel Legion & 501st members in attendance. I believe we were the only ones to receive them since they had limited quantity.

Jeffrey (Han Solo) even took control of a Millennium Falcon drone in the store and JP (TIE Reserve) & Brad (X-Wing) went head to head playing a dogfight in Battlefront.

Garrison Members in Attendance:
1. JP Morgan (TI-r)
2. Jason Boyd (TD)
3. Taylor Seay (TB)

Rebel Legion in Attendance:
1. Brad Butler (X-Wing Pilot)
2. Jeffrey Lewis (ESB Han Solo)

I'm in that second picture. So really you're the only one who's face we never see. Almost like you were never there....
