Toys”R”us Exclusive Biker Scout Sets Found
Reports are starting to trickle in from around the country that Toys”R”us stores are putting out their latest cool exclusive out! Forum member Aaylasecurasman scored them today in Arizona, and I was lucky too and found them in St. Louis tonight… and with today’s one day coupon for Buy 1 Get 1 75% off any Hasbro Star Wars item there, the second one was only $5.50!
Hopefully things at retail this Fall will be better than the first 8 months of the year…?
UPDATE – Loose pics have now been added, including a size comparison to the old speederbike mold.

Episode 360 Part 5: It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Celebration
On Sunday night Star Wars Celebration was winding down, but the Collectors’ Social Area still had hundreds of people pouring through trying to complete their Star Tots collection! Marjorie, Arnie, Berent, Jay, and Steve were all there handing out Star Tots but as the line grew longer the Star Wars Action News team took a break to reflect on the end of Star Wars Celebration VI. In this final episode of Celebration coverage, Marjorie, Arnie, Berent, Steve, and Scott from Tulsa reflect on the high points of C6, discuss Celebration Europe 2 in Germany, the release of both Episodes II and III in 3-D in 2013, and the SWAG they got and missed.
