July 4th, put that in the diary UK readers, because that’s the date when Robot Chicken Star Wars: Episode III and the Robot Chicken Star Wars Trilogy hit the shelves. While our American cousins have to wait until July 12th to pick up the two sets, they at least have the comfort of knowing that they saw it first.
For a more detailed run down of what’s in the set, check the press release after the break.
