If you'd told me ten years ago I'd be freaking out over toys with an age rating of 3+ or that Star Wars as a franchise would recover from the George Lucas inanity that was the prequels, then I would have laughed in your face, scoffed... maybe even poked you in the eye!

However ten years has passed, Star Wars is back on top and along with it a new range of awesome toys to smash together and make intergalactic noises from the safety of my bedroom. Yep. Big kids exist here at Box Office Buz and we're glad to see that Disney Store are launching a new range of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story toys to celebrate the forthcoming release this December.

There's a really cool press release below which goes through not just the toys on offer but the apparel and even a battle worn BB-8! OH MAH GEEEERRRRRRRD! Yes. Toys are back in fashion... did they ever go out? Head over to www.disneystore.co.uk today in order to see the entire range.
