Retail stores are starting to get a jump on the official January 30th release date, and new toys with the Darth Maul packaging are showing up pretty much everywhere. I spotted a few items today while at lunch, and here are a few "new" items that are about to dominate the toy shelf space. The new style electronic "helmets" (really, masks) are out with voice effects (more lines that Maul said in the entire film!), the new role play weapons (lightsabers, blasters), and the new exclusive action figure 2-packs that include 2 repainted/repackaged figures (these are $14.99 each). Let the onslaught begin!

Poll
What if Hasbro were to offer a new line of larger scale figures that put a focus on screen accuracy? The Probe Droid is curious if you'd walk away from the 3 3/4" line in favour of something new that catered more to adult collectors.
I'd be willing to start from scratch.
I'd be into it only if they were super articulated.
I'd only be into it if sculpt and silhouette were the main focus.
I might get a few, but I don't think I'm ready to start something new.
I'm only interested in 3 3/4" figures.
I don't collect the Hasbro stuff.
