Just wondering if anybody joined the madness of Black Friday...even if it was somehow TMNT merchandise related or not. (Thankfully I don't go for Black Friday Shopping.) Here's a few compilations of the "best of humanity":
The worst of the worst last year (Well I guess where "Occupy Wall Street" failed, "Occupy Retailers" succeeded): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9Cie5nEhsY
2012 Black Friday Victoria's Secret Stampede: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFkm6o1cjTU
2012 Walmart RIOTS for phones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDpAkjD3wXo
2012 Walmart Fights for $1.28 Towels (Fight for those bargains! LOL): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXbkM-VZMnI
The TMNT don't stand a chance against that "Crazy Target Lady" when it comes to Black Friday shopping! LOL :lol:

F**k no.
I was putting my money to better use.
Shadowgate remake, here I come!
I bought new RAM for my computer on Newegg, and it was under the Black Friday category. Does that count?

I was on this local news story a few years ago talking about how I was going to avoid Black Friday. You can skip to 1:55 if you don't want to watch the whole thing.

I don't go at the first minute because I don't want to run the risk of being injured or even killed as evidenced by a WalMart in 2008 where a door literally busted and killed an employee. I still find that throughout the day there are still some good deals to be found, and unlike the Christmas crunch where selection isn't as good as sales are relegated to items people don't want, I scored lots of 50% off deals at Macy's Lord & Taylor, Lowe's, along with everyday low prices at Five Below where I got a MOC Transformer for $4. Its also great to get the gifts wrapped since I can then focus on decorating for Christmas. I tend to shop in the 10 AM to 3 PM timeframe to avoid the morning/evening rush. I am worried though that all of this imported "Made in Asia" stuff though may push us over the fiscal cliff and cause another economic meltdown given how much debt we owe to them.

Went on Thursday night and got a flatscreen TV. It was a bit of a madhouse, but no riots in our line. There was a scramble for sheets though.

Not really any madness this year for ours. Got some Hot Wheels and clothes for my sis's stepsons, so it was worth it.

I went on Thursday night and I was surprised the stores weren't really bad. Waited in line for 10 minutes at Target and got through the checkout line rather quickly. My sister got a "doorbuster" tv at another Target about two hours after they opened.
Of course, there were no PS4s anywhere. There were people waiting in line since 2pm Thanksgiving for Gamestop's 12am opening to get PS4s. I felt like eating Thanksgiving dinner with my family instead of standing in cold for 10 hours..
BTW, congrats Rose, awesome :)

I never go shopping on Black Friday. This is pretty much why.
To be honest, I wouldn't even go Black Friday shopping even if everything in the stores were free.

I think you see the craziest of the crazy on youtube. The places I went weren't nearly as bad, and things were conducted in an orderly fashion. It's fun to watch the videos of the crazy people though.

Did not buy a single thing.
I would have bought the new TMNT Rocksteady and Bebop Classics but I decided not to leave the house. :)

Mom and I went Thursday night and got some things for my sis's stepsons, but that's it. On Friday we went and saw the movie Frozen with my sis and her stepsons then went to Walmart and got some video games for them and one for my BF.

I never go Black Friday shopping...I do all my shopping on-line. I never get a chance to go shopping without my kids.

No, but I wish I could have. My fiancé never shops on black Friday because she really hates crowds. But that's ok. I've never really hit stores up at 5 in the morning anyway. I just like all that holiday hustle and bustle. All the fighting and bad vibes, I can do without. So I suppose it's nice that I've never really gone out on black Friday. Currently doing all my Christmas shopping online. Maybe I'll convince my better half to go shopping on black Friday next year. It's not like I'll know what she's buying me anyway. hehe
