Check it out! (http://www.sirstevesguide.com/index.php?categoryid=13&p2_articleid=1108)

It looks like you turn the paper wheel so a character is on the top end of the Death Star, and it tells you the character's name!

Woooooooo!!!!

The fact that TRU considers this to be "a $3.99 value" certainly explains a lot about their overpricing everything else. I'd consider it to be a $3.99 value only if it came in a box of cereal that cost $3.99.

Saw these things a couple weeks ago and thought they were free swag. But then they put the shelf tag under 'em last week.

They have LEGO sets listed on the other side too.

Last week I got something like $14 worth of stuff so I didn't get it. It would be just a nice little thing to get for free but I sure as hell am not going to pay $4 for it.

It's actually hilarious in a way - Hasbro and TRU think there are people out there buying sw stuff that don't know who those characters are on sight!!! That's pretty rich - I think the last non-collector purchase of a sw figure happened in Mississippi back in early 2006 - didn't newsbot have something about it?

I don't know who any of these characters are. I'm just here for the food.

Since I have no TRU around me, can a forumite hook me up if they get an extra?

I collect a lot of things related to the "death star" because I love the death star. No TRU near me either, can someone hook me up? If you can help please send me a PM. Thanks!

That was in L.A.*
