STAR BORES: LINES ALREADY FORMING FOR STAR WARS TOYS

DALLAS (Wireless Flash) -- Film lovers in Los Angeles aren't the only "Star Wars" fans lining up to get their fix: now collectors are camping out in front of toy stores for "Star Wars" merchandise. According to Kathy Flood of "Beckett Hot Toys" magazine, toy fans are already lining up for the May 3 debut of action figures based on the new "Star Wars" flick. The fans have a good reason: A few figures that were pre- released to stores sold out immediately and are now fetching 10 times the retail price. The new toys being eagerly anticipated include a Jabba The Hutt figure that oozes slime whenever you feed his gargantuan gut with "frog snacks," and a "Battle Bag" which contains a green gloppy material in which several bizarre-looking animals are buried.
