I have 2 nephews (not in same family) who want Star Wars gifts. One is 5 and the other is 8. I am looking in the $25 range. Any suggestions?

My boys like the figures. I think they're called battle packs and it contains 4 figures. The only issue is that my boys are very specific on the clones that they want.

I would definitely look at the figures. Those are played with a lot in my house. The Rancor is awesome if they watch the original movies. He's very popular in my house. The vehicles, etc. never got a lot of play. I actually sold a bunch recently and no one noticed or cared.

There is a new lightsaber out that looks really cool. Target had it on coupon in the toy catalog but I'm not sure it it's still good. http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Ultimate-Darth-Lightsaber/dp/B004SGRWWG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322334816&sr=8-1

If you don't want to get toys then check Target for Star Wars shirts. Gap usually has some too but they are more expensive there. I'm pretty sure I saw some at The Childrens Place too.

In addition to what PP mentioned, my kids love these http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/star-wars-lunch-box-sandwich-cutter/?pkey=e|star%2Bwars|33|best|0|2|24||4&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules-_- (http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/star-wars-lunch-box-sandwich-cutter/?pkey=e%7Cstar%2Bwars%7C33%7Cbest%7C0%7C2%7C24%7C% 7C4&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH%7C%7CNoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules-_-)
They love keeping their figures in the tins as well as having the cool sandwich shapes.
They love Star Wars PJ's (I get ours at Target for about $12)
The new lightsabers are very cool. You can find a good selection for pretty good prices at Marshall's/TJ Maxx for SW toys and books.

Last year we got our boys light sabers that mount to the wall as a room decoration. They turn them on at bedtime-love them. Got them at TRU.

These are cool in person too but warning- the box has them listed as age 3-6 so I would hesitate to give them as a gift to an 8 year old. I don't know why playskool would limit thier market that way.

My parents are buying my DS a Landcruser ship from Target and a pack of the movie edition of action figures. They got IV movie pack to go with the land speeder. Both the movie packs and the land speeder are about $25 each. The movie figure packs are getting harder to find, because I think they were a limited release to coincide with the re-release of the Star Wars DVDs. We bought all of the Star Wars movie packs and stashed them in our gift stockpile before they stop selling them. Some of the vintage movie figures are hard to find in the single packs, so the movie packs care kind of nice.

That episode IV pack is cool because the land speeder doesn't come with figures and the IV pack has Luke and Obi-Wan Kenobi, who ride in the Land speeder in episode IV.;)
