Facebook reader Tom R. tips us off to another large in-store sale at Toys”R”Us starting this Sunday, October 5. All Star Wars figures, vehicles, role-play will be Buy One, Get One 50% Off*. Plus, next Saturday, October 11 they are holding a LEGO event where kids can build a mini LEGO Ghost from Star Wars Rebels!

Chalk this up to a cosmic fluke but Facebook follower Brian K. scored all three Star Wars Rebels vehicles at his local Chicago Target for less than the price of one.
Nice find Brian!
Facebook follower Lando Griffin sent in this photo of his find today of the “Jedi Reveal” exclusive from Toys”R”Us in Arizona. This score marks the first Star Wars Rebels 3-3/4″ figures to hit retail.
Nice find! Send in your reports if you find this as well.
UPDATE: We can also confirm that the Holographic Obi-Wan is 1 POA with ball-socket articulation at the neck.
I picked up a new Star Wars Rebels book today from Toys”R”Us titled Star Wars Rebels: Head-to-Head which matches up characters and vehicles from the new series. It contains a lot of new characters and vehicle details as well as plot points for the series. I posted a sampling of them on our Facebook page, but to remain sensitive to spoilers, I cropped out the plot info from the images.
The softcover book is available now for pre-order on Amazon with a release date of Aug. 26, but you might be able to find yours in-store early as well.
As we prepare to gear up our coverage for this year’s SDCC we’d like to suggest that you enable notifications for your mobile devices. We will surely be bombarding our social media channels on Facebook (fb.com/yakfacecom) and Twitter (@yak_face) with news as it breaks — PRIOR to the news hitting our front page.
We are also conscience that some may not like the constant notfications as well so we suggest turning them OFF if so inclined.
Finally, if you see a story shared by us over the next few days, it is not an attempt to give preferential treatment to any one source or not give due credit were applicable.
All that said; sit back, relax, HAVE FUN and we hope you enjoy the show!
