Angry Birds Star Wars - The Toys

[shmashwitdaclub]

OK, you asked for them.  Now here they are:  http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=angry%20birds%20star%20wars&origkw=angry+birds+star+wars&f=Taxonomy/TRUS/2254197&sr=1

wait, what?  You didn't ask for these?   

I can't decide on whether I think think these will do marginally well, or epically flop.

Wow, I'll probably get the game, be fun to play. but merchandise?

But this has Star Wars M-pire written all over it.

But, if it does well and makes a ton of money, maybe we can get some new figs made in other lines

[Pete_Fett]

I think this has "Epic Fail" written all over it.

Was anyone looking for a tie-in between Angry Birds and Star Wars?

Angry Birds GI Joe is next.

I guess I'm in the minority thinking these are fun nick-nack type of things to go on my desk at work...  Probably futile, but has anyone seen a listing of which characters are in the Series 1 blind packs?

So far I've found:
Wedge-Pilot
Luke-Pilot
Darth Vader Pig
AT-AT Driver Pig
Rancor Pig
Han in Carbonite
Panda Baba Pig
Rebel Hoth Trooper

I think there is also:
Leia Boush
Luke Skywalker Bird
Snowtrooper Pig
Stormtrooper Pig
Han Solo Bird

Any others?

I think I'm going to have to get the early bird pack to get the Chewie and R2D2.

Meh, it's cheap I'm sure, and far less likely to offend the masses than, say, a set of TVC figures on the original 12 cardbacks...  I mean, think about the pissy reaction at that point?  Forget it.

SDCC exclusives have been impossible to get in recent years for most...  Myself included among them since I'm usually at work when they're posted online.  For me, this is not interesting and thus I'm not mad about it, nor am I happy about it.  I just don't care.

Man that's ugly.

Are any people actually collecting the Angry Birds stuff?  I buy a lot of 'cute' toy lines, but even I have no interest in this (come on, I collected Galactic Heroes and Fighter Pods for crying out loud).

[Jesse James]

I actually see lots of kids with AB Star Wars shirts on and stuff, so I assume there's SOME kind of interest there with kids...  adults, I can't imagine.  Though, Fighter Pods have adults somewhat interested I noticed.  They'd have me more too if they weren't so expensive.

Somebody, please shoot me.
