BREAKING NEWS! 2012 TPM 3D Naboo Starfighter Hits Toys R Us!

The vehicle is almost two years late, but JTA moderator Bombadgungan sends in a report many of us are DESPERATE to hear! Click through for his report!!

Hey my fair JTAers,

Bombad here. I just wanted to send in this report from my local mall in Oregon.

While walking my shopping mall's promenade, I stumbled upon a sight that surely shouldn't have been a surprise for this time of year. No, it wasn't the calendar kiosk or the cured meat and cheese kiosk, it was the seasonal "express" toy store that typically pops up to capture unwary shoppers during the holiday shopping season. The difference is this year it is a TOYS 'R' US Express.

So I made my way down the aisles looking for the inevitable small selection of overpriced Star Wars toys. I saw the 5-POA Saga Legends first and then the Mission Series. Then the good stuff. 6" TBS and 3 3/4" TBS. They had a full fresh case of both. The 3 3/4"-ers even had the embossed bubbles (1st run). What I was even more surprised about is it didn't have the typical mall-toy-store markups. Everything appeared to be priced the same as at a traditional TRU. So far nothing too exciting. But there on the floor beneath the shelves was Wave 2 TPM3D Class II vehicles, including the tan/olive Republic Fighter Tank and the oh so lovely Naboo Fighter! :)

I hope this gives hope to the hopeless that more of these ships are finally getting out there for those who seek them.

Good luck and let the holiday shopping frenzy commence! :)
