Interactive Yoda

TRU in Madison had a few of these up by the service desk. I didn't check to see what their price is.

12" TC-14

Kay Bee Toys east in Madison had a bunch of these this morning. There were 9 of them on the shelf.

12" Mace Windu Wave

I came across some of the Mace Windu wave of 12" figures today at TRU Madison. There were two Qui-Gon with poncho, and two OOM-9, but both Mace Windus were gone. The Qui-Gon looks larger than the first version, but I'm not sure. He has that stupid open mouth thing going, but it is a little better than the electronic version. The OOM-9 looks to be the same as the first Battledroid, but with some yellow markings and a few different accessories. Neither of these are that impressive, but I have high hopes that Mace is pretty good. They are in a new box design, it looks a lot like the electronic 12" design, but stronger and it has a printed scene on the inside.

12" TC-14

Kay Bee Toys east in Madison got in a case of their exclusive electronic 12" TC-14. Thanks to some help (you know who you are:), I was able to pick this up. Pretty nice, but kind of expensive at $29.99. I was really expecting this to be a repainted C-3PO like what was in the TRU 2-pack, but it isn't. The sound button is located in the back of the head (the TRU C-3PO had it located on the back). It comes in a box like the other electronic 12" figures.

Interactive Yoda

Kay Bee Toys east in Madison had in the Yoda Furby today as well. It looks to be a fun toy, but I haven't opened it up to try. It comes in a strange 5 sided box that I doubt can be found in mint shape, but the one I have is pretty nice. The price was $44.99.
