Chad Ryan writes in with word of finding the latest Build-A-Weapon figures from The Force Awakens at Dollar General.

If anyone is having trouble finding The Force Awakens figures keep your eyes open at Dollar General. Yes, I said Dollar General.I went to one in a small town called Arley, Alabama and found 6 figures. I picked up the FO Stormtrooper and the Flametrooper.

Star Wars.  It twice became the biggest movie of all time. It has launched a billion dollar empire of movies, toys, and merchandise. It has even started a religion. But now, under the ownership of Disney, the Star Wars universe is set to expand infinitely with a new movie each year — starting with Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
Now Arnie, Jakob, and Stuart go back to where it all started — the 1977 original George Lucas film Star Wars (a.k.a. Episode IV: A New Hope). Is the Force still with Star Wars almost 40 years after its release? And which version is better, the Special Edition or the original?  Listen to Now Playing to find out, then join us weekly for more Star Wars reviews culminating with The Force Awakens!
