2012 TPM and Clone Wars Items on eBay

Those looking to get a jump on the onslaught of Episode I product for 2012 (if you don’t already have it) can start looking to eBay as a few of the “new” products are starting to show up. HobbyStockCN has several loose Movie Heroes* figures like Darth Maul, Destroyer Droid, Yoda, Darth Vader, Super Battle Droid, Walmart’s Exclusive Ric Olie and generic Naboo Pilot as well as new Clone Wars figures Cutup and the Bomb Squad Trooper.

As reminder, none of the above Movie Heroes figures are really “new” as they are repacked/repainted sculpts from the past several years. Also take note that the Darth Maul (repacked SAGA #02/42) has the lower “skirt” assembled backward as compared to the previous sculpt. No word if the final product will ship with this error.
