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.
After a long delay, Microsoft and LucasArts have revealed that the Star Wars themed Kinect Xbox 360 will finally be released on April 3, 2012. Head to USA Today for the full story.
As we reported yesterday, Walmart is now starting to get their exclusive “Discover the Force” wave of figures. Don’t give up the search if you don’t see the figures in the regular action figure aisle on the pegs. Forum member EopieHerder tweeted the above image of a four-sided aisle/floor display he found as his local store. As you’re well aware, Walmart tends to be creative as to where they display their merchandise sometimes so you might take the time to roam around the store a bit to locate one.
