JTA Would Like To Start Q&A!
Jedi Temple Archives is extremely interested in starting a Q&A column with our readers and we think we have the energy to pull it off, but it will absolutely depend upon all of you to submit questions we can answer. We would like to take a strong editorial style with this post so anything is up for grabs and we would even like to cover topics ranging from any of the products we feature in our Research Droids Reviews. So the ball is in your court. We think if we get the proper response we will be able to provide you with a quality column. Submit those questions! And thank you!
Please e-mail questions to paul@jeditemplearchives.com.

And speaking of Walmart, they have a very nice Star Wars "shop" at their online store and are offering $.97 shipping on all Hasbro Star Wars items until October 1st. Click through to see what they got in stock!

Someone important at the Walmart corporate division must be current with his 5 hour energy doses. We noticed that some of our local stores have reduced the price of both Saga Legends and The Clone Wars lines keeping them in swift competition with TARGET. It's unknown if TRU will follow suit.

Found! While waiting for our local Toys R Us store to open (because we got a tip from the manager that more TVC was coming), we stopped at our local Walmart in Tullytown, PA and nearly collapsed. No less than six brand new cases of wave two of The Vintage Collection were sitting there to greet us. We found all of the Ultimate Galactic Hunt figures as well as ALL of the new figures. This is the first we heard of this wave hitting Walmart, but what a steal at $7.96 when TRU is still trying to get $9.99 each for them! Click through to check out just a portion of our find! Oh, and these will start being added to our Research Droids Reviews on Saturday morning! Check back!

Who has the nastiest flesh wound of all? Research
Droids Reviews makes a case that it is conclusively Darth Malak sans lower jaw. Eeeeewwwww! But despite his mortal injury, he is a pretty cool action figure that is just slightly out of perfect range in our opinion. Will Hasbro ever perfect him? That remains elusive, but the version that is available certainly should make KOTOR fans very happy. Click the banner below for the direct link to the review! Don't forget we accept requests so e-mail us and be sure to vote in our poll at the bottom of the review with your opinion before leaving!

JTA reader Adri Bishop writes in with word that he found a Shaak Ti labeled Jaina Solo as well. If you remember our original report (found HERE), readers have been finding basic Legacy Collection figures with wrong inserts. We'll chalk it up to a massive screw up at the factory level.

Fan's Choice winners are curious aren't they? Research

2010 is shaping up to be the year of Boba Fett, isn't it? And Research
Droids Reviews isn't done taking the focus off of him yet either. The VCD line is definitely a unique, but nonetheless cool line of collectibles. Be sure to check out a version of Boba Fett that hasn't seen much billing as a Star Wars collectible except as a VCD. Click the banner below for the direct link to the review!

You may have recalled our report in June (found HERE) about how Hasbro informed us that they also sold out of Nahdar Vebb figures just like they did for the Qui-Gon Jinn And Eopie mail-away. Well, we received confirmation just today that the new batches of Nahdar Vebb won't be able to ship until October 30, 2010! Yikes! Click through to read all about it!

For those of you needing to catch up on a few Star Wars items in the "red" line look (and even some in the "blue" line look), Kmart is taking an additional 30% off of all their clearance toys and from what we've witnessed, they have quite a bit of product left over. For example, we found the Y-wing Bomber for $36.40 and the Clone Trooper Squad (Kmart exclusive) for $13.30 among many other items. Good luck on your searches!

One of Research
Droids Reviews unofficial goals is to spread the gospel of Tartakovsky's brilliant interpretation of the extremely canonical Clone Wars, a series that Lucasfilm seems to want to sweep under their carpet sadly. But that won't stop us from proselytizing until we're done hitting all the cool characters from it. Luke wasn't the only one to experience failure at a cave. Like his father before him, Anakin Skywalker too saw a terrible vision of his possible future, except his came to pass. Often erroneously billed as "Tattooed Anakin", the blue marks on his body when on Nelvann are actually "geometric hickeys" and not dye on his body.

But that won't stop us from proselytizing until we're done hitting all the cool characters from it. Yoda and his gift from the Wookies, the kybuck, made their debut in the very first chapter of the Clone Wars and became one of Hasbro's most successful accomplishments in the basic figure line.

JTA found the Legacy Of The Dark Side TRU exclusive two-packs at our local stores in Philadelphia. Hasbro, is this really happneing? Are you really trying to reinvent the Evolutions wheel again? If you are, try making something new first unless you want a repeat performance please. And we haven't even mentioned the worst part yet: they retail for $17.99. Two figures for $17.99? The Evolutions were $19.99 and we got THREE figures, Hasbro! The Grievous set will undoubtedly be the most popular of them all for obvious reasons. Click
through for a quick picture of what we found.
