Hasbro Announces Star Wars AMP’D

Hasbro has issued a pre-Toy Fair press release announcing several new products spanning all of their licenses. For the Star Wars brand, they’re pushing the Fighter Pods pretty hard but also a new line called STAR WARS AMP’D due this fall. From their press release:

In fall, kids can gear up for battle with STAR WARS AMP’D. For the first time ever, kids will be able to quickly and easily customize the most iconic STAR WARS vehicles and prepare them for any mission: land, space, sea or air! In 2012, the line features 9 figures and 6 vehicles.

Interesting to say the least. Look for more details on this as we present our coverage of Toy Fair 2012 live from the Big Apple!

New MTT Image Revealed

While doing some sleuthing tonight, I discovered that a certain big box store *cough* Walmart *cough* has possibly inadvertently posted an image of the upcoming MTT Droid Carrier on their website. If you head over to their Star Wars section and scroll through the 3D images you’ll notice one of them is in fact the MTT. You’ll also notice that the Battle Droids included in this set are all upright, which conflicts with the reports that most of them were in their collapsed/storage mode.

Also of interest, since this is being shown on Walmart’s site that seems to negate the possibility of this being an exclusive to Target. Click the image above for a closer look.
