We’ve heard some squawking about this line for about a month now but it looks like word is popping up all over with details of the new Angry Birds line of products from Hasbro and Rovio. Head on over to the Idol Hands blog for a extensive breakdown and look for the official reveal at NYCC next week.
Thanks to Paul Nicholasi for the report.
By far the most controversial of all the “Big One” vehicles, the Trade Federation MTT has been at Wal-Mart stores for a while, for $129.99… but it’s now started to show up at Toys”R”us stores… but the price? Click on the image above, and hold onto your socks!

While swinging by my local Toys”R”us store today to grab a few more figures from The Hobbit, I noticed that all Star Wars figures are Buy 1 Get 1 Free – while the selection consisted mostly of repacks, it’s still a very noteworthy sale!
It’s unknown if this is a national sale, but from what I recall, the stickers said the sale runs at least until sometime in November! I will correct that if I am wrong, but that’s what my fading memory tells me… unfortunately, my cell phone pic didn’t capture the image clear enough to clarify.
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Kmart Exclusive Ewok Scouts from The Vintage Collection.
PROS: For lovers of Ewoks (or Imperial cannon fodder), 2012 has been awesome for collectors as we’ve received nearly a dozen (counting accessory variants) of these little furballs this year. Also, Vintage packaging fans get an introduction to a new way to deliver figures in a nostalglic way. Hasbro is really excited about this packaging form factor and promises that it will lend itself to offering more that just figures in the future. Shipping along side it, this set is complemented by the Endor AT-ST Crew and both sets together, combined with the Kmart Exclusive AT-ST Walker, offer an instant battle scenario that we all recreated as kids.
CONS: Again, like much of 2012 it comes down to availability as there are not a lot of Kmart stores around anymore, hopefully these will turn up on their website soon.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this latest set is worth adding to your collection.
