I like the starfighter better as a toy than what I've seen of it so far in the film. That's a pretty cool toy.

The text besides the pictures reveals a bit about Ep3:

- By the time of Episode III, the Jedi have upgraded much of their starfighter arsenal with the new Eta-2 starfighters. Anakin starts the film in a yellow-trimmed fighter, whose lines are strongly evocative of the TIE fighter designs still to come. Anakin's amazing piloting abilities make the difference in a daring mission to rescue Chancellor Palpatine, who has been kidnapped by Separatist forces.

- General Grievous is the tactical mastermind and monstrous leader of the Separatist army. A twisted mix of droid machinery and strange alien, Grievous is a deadly cyborg trained in lightsaber combat by the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus. His mechanical reflexes, alien mind, and lack of scruples make him the deadliest Jedi killer of the Clone Wars.

- The remote world of Utapau has become the secret sanctuary of the Separatist forces. Local administrator Tion Medon has little choice but to accommodate their oppressive presence. When Obi-Wan Kenobi visits the sinkhole-riddled planet, searching for Grievous, Tion does what he can to be helpful.

- On Obi-Wan's mission to find Grievous and bring an end to the Clone Wars, he flies with R4-G9 on his starfighter's wing.

- Kashyyyk is one of the many battle grounds of the Clone Wars. As Separatist forces invade a lagoon-side village on the Wookiee world, the native armies team up with Republic clone troopers to defend their home soil.

Just in case anyone forgot about picking up their sneak preview figures. They're available now... Picked up my General Grievous figure tonight at Wal-Mart. The also had the Wookie Warrior, and Tion. Didn't see R4 or Anakin's Starfighter (which is what I really wanted).

Get yours now before they go!

Hmmm.. I wonder why those figures in the pictures have bases but neither of my Grievous figures do. I wish that they had designed him better. I have to use his lightsaber like a cane or else he just falls over on his face...

Hmmm... I assumed it was hidden in the packaging someplace... I'm hesitant as to whether or no to open the box so I wasn't sure. Still have my sneak preview Mace Windu from TPM (the one you had to mail in the Proof of Purchase on six other figures one) and he's still in the original box - unopened.

I saw those figures back in January. I didn't have any money at all and didn't buy any or tell anyone.

When I went back to the same aisle, only the Wookie was left :|

I picked up 2 Grievous figures last week at Wal Mart, one to open and one to keep in the package. Someone above mentioned what a pain in the ass he is to get to stand up and thats true. Took like 10 minutes to get it in a decent pose. My girlfriend was cracking up at how pissed I was getting I really wanted the starfighter, but I haven't been able to find it yet.
