12" Luke Taun Taun
TRU east in Madison got in 6 (3 cases) of their newest exclusive. The Luke figure looks to be pretty close to the previously released version with the exception of face wounds that are painted on. The Taun Taun is almost identical to the first one with the exception that one of its horns is now broke off. It is a little disappointing that they did not include many accessories. Luke only really comes with his Lightsaber. Not included are a blaster or binoculars. I really expected the binoculars since Luke is the one who actually used them in the movie. The box is bigger than the last one and looks pretty good, but not as stunning as the old black box. TRU's price is $59.99 which seems about $10 too high to me.
Playskool Arena Adventure
Shopko east in Madison had two of these on the pegs today. Their price is $9.99.
TRU Landspeeder
TRU east in Madison got in a case or two of their exclusive Landspeeders recently.
Anakin Tatooine Attack Wave
Joel Y. reports that Kohls east and south in Madison each had a few Anakin figures on the pegs. No Darth Maul figures were to be found. If you are willing to pay $8.99 per figure, this may be for you.
