Pose the articulated legs as if it’s “marching” into battle and activate the electronic walking sounds.

Packed with heavy artillery, this one-of-a-kind vehicle is loaded with gizmos like firing rockets, automatic hatches, and the capacity to carry up to 20 Clone Trooper action figures (1 Clone Trooper included).

Star Wars Clone Wars Monopoly


While the Star Wars Clone Wars Monopoly game isn't one of the most talked about Star Wars toys for 2008, I'm including it in my top 10 list for Christmas, 2008. I love this game. As fans of the classic monopoly game, my boys flipped when they saw the Clone Wars version. This Star Wars-themed game turns the classic Monopoly board into an exciting real estate Clone War. So, it was a real hit.

Here's the specs...

The galaxy is torn by conflict. Good and evil are pitted against each other in an epic battle for control. First choose a side. Then travel around the game board buying, selling and renting properties based on the Star Wars The Clone Wars animated series. The more you control, the further your power will spread.

Scenes from the Clone Wars TV series add more excitement to the overall game experience as players sell, buy and trade planets. In this Special Edition you can build settlements and cities in place of the classic houses and hotels, and optional Star Wars rules add even more excitement. Be the most powerful player at the end of the game and you will control the Force and possibly the entire Star Wars galaxy.

The Star Wars Clone Wars Monopoly game comes with six collectible tokens: Star Wars-themed tokens: Clone Commander Rex, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tona, General Grievous, and Asajj Ventress.
