Does Darth Tater count? :laugh:

I was going to get a Mr. Potato Head for my son anyways when I saw that they were coming out with this. I thought it was perfect.

Do Star Wars Pop Tarts count? While they are not toys, they can be turned into toys using an everyday microwave and the number 3:00.

If not, and you mean those little plastic doodads that are ultimately pointless for any man to have, then no. I havent.

I have a friend who's been buying them up and making a bit of cash on eBay from the uncommon/rare ones.

Sorry, I'm not 10 anymore.

But hey, that darth vador helmet looks cool. It lets' you talk like him or something.
I saw the ad and thought "Wow, that's rather politically incorrect - teaching kids to idolize Darth Vador who represents pure evil?"

I don't remember exactly... there's supposed to be a Palpatine that has a blue sabre instead of red, and the limited edition holographic Yoda that they were handing out at Toys'R'Us, and so on. I'm sure someone put a list out.

I was half-tempted to pickup a 'squished' Darth Vader at Kmart the other day...

This is an official reproduction of real Lightsabers from Star Wars. "Real lightsabers?", you might be thinking, "Star Wars isn't real!". Tell that to the masses who dress up every day as Darth Vader and Princess Leia across the globe, tell that to the folks who build droid replicas in their garages, study Sith history, and practice their Huttese.

OK I'll tell them
