We had heard Diamond Comics had started to ship these out last week, looks like they are starting to hit the floor. Happy hunting!

Rebelscum reader 'Celticsfan' informs us that Star Wars Insider magazine has details of new upcoming toys for 2004. A new Battle of Endor-themed wave is planned including Han Solo in AT-ST Driver gear (shown in the magazine,) General Crix Madine, and General Lando Calrissian. Toys R Us exclusive toys include Red Leader's X-Wing Fighter (also shown) and several new multipacks like the "Skirmish at Carkoon" set we previously reported on. Fans of the Screen Scene Jedi Council sets will be pleased to know that more are on the way, incuding a center floor section. Looks for the first new set to include Ki-Adi-Mundi, Yoda, and Qui-Gon Jinn.

According to trujedi, you should start looking for green tagged 50% off items on clearance, either already tagged or being tagged during the next week or so. BUT, the sales are already in their computers so you can take an item to their price checker and see if it's marked down. If it is, more info will say "50% off green tag". This includes MANY video games in the electronics area, EP2 Deluxe figures, EP2 Beasts and even the talking Yoda, but he thinks that's a mistake.

Toys That Connect With TVs


Toys That Connect With TVs 02/18/2004 07:58 PM
It seems like an odd time for "new toy" stories to be coming out. They usually appear as we swing into the holiday season, not two months later. Anyway, it seems that despite years and years of failed attempts at making toys that interact with TV (Microsoft's Barney doll...), companies are at it again, but this time, they think kids will really want toys that interact with the TV. Of course, this faces the same problem that has come up every time people think up this idea. Most people watch TV. They consume it. They don't interact with it, and adding a toy in the middle doesn't necessarily improve things. Of course, there is an element of getting kids to read/sing/clap along with a TV, but it's not clear if the toy really enhances that process. Meanwhile, it seems like many kids are less interested in TV and more interested in the internet. Of course, it won't be long before we have toys that interact with the internet as well (I'm sure some are already out there).

What? You thought I was selling my older hardware for the fun of it? Things I love about Kwyjibo, my new Sony Clie UX50: size, shape, weight, screen, features, functionality, convenience, power cradle. Things I don't love about Kwyjibo: (1) it relies on the Sony Memory Suck; (2) No keyboard navigation; (3) unmanageable USB port cover; (4) no way to flip between portrait / landscape mode; (5) deep reliance on ass-nasty QuickTime codecs; and (6) poor out-of-the-box Outlook integration. Even with these grievances aired, I must admit that I've been quite pleased with "it" so far. Then again, who's ever completely happy with their PDA?...
