Let's start with the biggest and the best. Parents, take note! the Republic Attack Shuttle is only $54 here!!! This is Hasbro's feature vehicle for the year with all the lights, sounds and action your kids crave while they watch Jedi behead the bad guys in their favorite cartoon. FAMILY FUN!! This detailed Republic Attack Shuttle Vehicle features rotating wings to start it "soaring." Put your Clone Pilot Figure in the cockpit and then detach it to create a recon-fighter vehicle!

Black Friday is generally seen as the day to abandon all humanity and launch, head first, into the squirming gene pool of commerce that floods retail stores at 4am. Why would someone subject themselves to this pain and mental scarring? DEALS!! Despite what the government would have you believe with their Christmas celebration that most likely uses our money in a disgusting display of elitism...we are still in a recession... which means everyone is hurting, so the brick and mortar stores will go head to head, right up to Christmas day, battling for your holy dollar.
