That's a Tuesday, the day games are launched in the US, which suggests European shops will see it home to roost three days later (1st November). The original Angry Birds Star Wars will arrive on 3DS, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Wii U and Xbox 360 on 29th October. UPDATE: Just days after the announcement of Angry Birds Star Wars 2, developer Rovio has announced a boxed PC and console release for the game's galactic predecessor.

Of course, figurines are cooler than little slips of paper with lots of black squares, but simply getting their extra content will likely be achievable without shelling out extra cash. As a result, there's nothing stopping people from scanning, distributing, and printing these codes.

Kotaku got a sneak peek at the figurines at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, where it revealed that the bottoms of each figurine contian a tiny QR code enlarged by a magnetic base. UPDATE# 2 Angry Birds Star Wars 2's scannable figurines will simply be based on QR codes.
