TRU MTT Price Hike Hijinks
We’ve all wondered why Toys”R”Us has had the ridiculous price of $179.99 (and as high as $208.99) on the MTT while other stores have had it in the $130 range. Some have even speculated that it was because it was going on sale in the future and this was to offset the future sale price. Today we can confirm that is the case as Toys”R”Us Big Toy Book will feature a coupon for $50 off. The coupon goes into effect on 10/28 and valid until 11/21. What a joke.

I ventured out this morning to my local Fleet Farm to check out their annual Toyland kick off and while I didn’t find anything “new” per se, I did see a nice selection of Deluxe/Class I vehicles, Clone Wars (Wave 2), Movie Heroes (Wave 2) and TVC figures (Wave 4, Rev 1.). Click the images above for some quick snapshots of the aisle.

Episode 365: A New Star Wars Book Pops Up!
In 2007 Matthew Reinhart brought a new dimension to Star Wars books with Star Wars: A Pop Up Guide to the Galaxy, a book that helped redefine what a pop-up book could be for Star Wars fans. It quickly became a New York Times Bestseller and now Matthew is back with his follow up–Star Wars: A Galactic Pop-Up Adventure. General Grievous, Acklay, and more, this book has light up features, sounds, and so much more! And on this week’s Star Wars Action News, Matthew joins Arnie and Marjorie to discuss this new prequel era book for fans of all ages!
Also for fans of all ages, this past week Hasbro and Lucasfilm announced Star Wars Angry Birds, a videogame with toy tie-ins from Hasbro including an Early Angry Bird Kit! Some fans disdain this new license while others embrace it. Hear both sides of the discussion on this week’s podcast.
