Proving that the action figure aisle isn't the only place strong with The Force at his local Toys "R" Us, Rebelscum reader John N from Bradenton Florida went looking to see what else he could, and he found quite a few neat pieces. Click the thumbnails above to check out the two different scooters, the Sith bicycle, a couple of puzzles, and the Guess Who memory game.

The latest trading card set from Topps is now in hobby stores, and also now in Target! These are sold in a side aisle next to the registers, so keep your eyes peeled while shopping. Happy hunting!

Less than a month after they first hit the pegs, the Target-exclusive 2-pack sets are already being found marked down to $7.48 each. While these are nothing more than repacks/minor repaints, the new sale price is cheaper than the basic figures! So even if you have these already, it might be worth a second look at your local stores to check availability. I know I couldn't resist!

Here's a surprise find at a local Toys"R"Us....Darth Tater is back in the new 2012 packaging! There appears to be no difference in this Mr. Potato Head toy itself, but if you missed out on this cool toy when it first came out, you now have another chance to add it to your collection.
UPDATE: According to Rebelscum reader Justin Wright, the 2012 Darth Tater has ditched the black sneakers from the past releases, and has those kinda odd new "legs"/shoes. So this IS a "new" edition after all!

Probe
Droid
Poll
What if Hasbro were to offer a new line of larger scale figures that put a focus on screen accuracy? The Probe Droid is curious if you'd walk away from the 3 3/4" line in favour of something new that catered more to adult collectors.
I'd be willing to start from scratch.
I'd be into it only if they were super articulated.
I'd only be into it if sculpt and silhouette were the main focus.
I might get a few, but I don't think I'm ready to start something new.
I'm only interested in 3 3/4" figures.
I don't collect the Hasbro stuff.
