"This campaign is targeted at Lego and Star Wars fans everywhere. You will not be able to turn on your TV or walk into a store without seeing the product advertised."

Eidos is running two TV spots for LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game on child friendly networks including Fox, ABC Family, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Toon Disney, and WB Kids.
