Amidst the buzz about this week's release of the newest Star Wars movie, one Walmart in Iowa started selling action figures early. The figure, which was was likely put on the shelves by accident, was purchased by a customer who took a photo and posted in on Facebook. Disney sent the customer a legal notice saying the photo must be taken down, and although everything the customer did was legal, Disney won.

"You're baffled because the legal aspect of it would seem to be pretty simple," John said. "The Iowa Walmart might have screwed up but it's not the customer's problem."

Apparently, the costume the figure is wearing reveals a plot point from the movie. But even though everything the customer did was legal, Facebook backed up Disney and temporarily shut down the customer's account.

"It's wrong," John said. It's wrong wrong wrong."

In other Throbbing Hive news, Amazon has pulled several "hoverboards" from production as there have been at least 10 reports of them bursting into flames. Some airlines have announced that they are banned from their flights.

"I'm sure they'll get it figured out and then it'll be just like heelys - the shoes with the skates built into them," John said. "It'll be something obnoxious that the kids can ride around and pester adults with just like they've been doing since time immemorial."
