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!
