    Begun the Clone Wars Shopping Has
    What I really wanted though was the new Hannah Montana album!While doing some last-minute shopping for my son's upcoming birthday I decided to stop into one of the local Wal-Mart's here in MA. After picking up the necessary card, wrapping paper and tape I decided to check out the Star Wars section of the toy department...and was rewarded for doing so. There on the shelf along with some rereleased toys in the new Clone Wars packaging were a couple of the new roll-playing Clonetrooper helmets. I'm not sure who's smile will be bigger come Wednesday. My son's when he opens his present or mine while watching him open it.
