Announcing Star Wars mimobot Series 2: Preorders are on!

Ever since the release of Star Wars mimobot Series 1, we've gotten questions everywhere we went: "Who's going to be in the next series?" "When can I get *insert Star Wars character here*?" "Did Greedo really shoot first?" and so on. Well, good news for people who asked the first 2 questions: Star Wars mimobot Series 2 is now available for preorder! The series consists of the lovely Princess Leia, the roguish Han "Nerfherder" Solo, the prodigal son of a Sith Luke Skywalker, and the mysterious bounty hunter Boba Fett.

What could be cooler than that? Well, for starters, with the new mimobot Helmet Cap, you can remove Luke's X-wing pilot helmet and Fett's Mandalorian battle helmet to reveal the faces beneath. But... that's not all! Thanks to our new Mop Top and Headphones caps, Han and Leia can rock their amazing hairstyles while making a data run in less than twelve parsecs!

The Star Wars mimobot Series 2 is currently available for preorder, with the release scheduled for January/February '08. Make sure to get your preorder in now, before these four join the Star Wars Series 1 on the sold out page!

May the Force be with you... and also with your data!

1GB ALL Darth Vaders GONE

Boy, people do love evil, as evidenced by the very first capacity/character combination from the Star Wars Series 1 to sell out! We're not sure if it was his force choking, his TIE-fighter piloting, or that smooth smooth cybernetic voice, but Darth Vader has proven to be very popular, and now all ~~1-gigabyte~~ versions of the Sith Lord are sold out.

Don't worry; the other 3 Star Wars characters are still around (albeit quickly dwindling in number).
