Our very good friends at Yakface.com have showed us up with our recent report of the AT-AT on clearance! And we thought we found a great deal on the awesome BAT-AT vehicle. Click through to check out their unbelievable report on just how cheap some TARGETs have this priced!

Every time a new Sideshow Collectibles 12" figure gets released, we say it's the best one yet. Well, get used to the pattern. Research Droids Reviews raves uncontrollably about the new Captain Rex 12" figures and this latest figure makes us long for the day when Hasbro will make realistic versions of the characters that appear in The Clone Wars television show in the basic figure line. If Hasbro can even come remotely close to what Sideshow Collectibles has done, then we will certainly be all very happy collectors!

Vintage AFA Graded figures have made a come back, and collectors should browse the new selection of ESB, POTF and ROTJ figures.  But nothing is a bigger collectible than the Life-Size 501st Clone Trooper Bust from Sideshow.  Now available for pre-order.

There is on G.I. Joe collector dying to get their hands on a complete U.S.S. FLAG.  Now is their chance as Brian's Toys has one in stock!

We have yet to get him in the basic figure line by Hasbro (not counting the Biker Scout disguise figure), but Sideshow gave us some love when they added Nik Sant to the 12" line (although he isn't referred to as Nik Sant on the packaging). Check out today's Research Droids Reviews while we desperately try to find all of these new figures hitting so we can do some RDRs on new products for a change! Sheesh!

Apologies in advance if this is old news, but we haven't seen this posted ANYWHERE! TARGET has clearanced out the "Shadow Of The Dark Side" AT-AT for a measley $24.98 (we are in the Philly area)! We didn't see this slowly get marked down in our area (like other Star Wars items after the holidays) and were in complete shock after seeing this mark-down tag on the box! We also checked every other TARGET in the area as well and although the DPCI rang up for $24.98, they were completely sold out of any remaining quantities. If you find an AT-AT at TARGET, please walk it to the price scanner. You too might also receive the surprise of your life!

Aurra Sing is in desperate need of a good update in the modern line! But Hasbro made the most of their POTJ mold and made EU fans happy with a figure based on her appearance on Bespin.

Check out close-ups of this figure in the following eBay auction! Auction ends within 24 hours of this posting!

We all thought that this Luke figure was all-new, but it looks more and more to be a repack of the Resurgence Of The Jedi Luke with a few new bells and whistles.

Sideshow Collectibles raises their signature required minimum up to $185.00 from $100.00. This should definitely help many collectors out! And with 12" figures continually reaching unmentionable amounts, it should resolve some stress for collectors ensuring they catch the UPS or FedEx person in time.

To desperate collectors on the East coast; be not afraid! JTA reader Shawn Evans from Maryland writes in to let us know that the Battle Above Endor sets have hit TRU stores in his area. It looks like it is just a matter of time before they are all over the place!

Two of the coolest things from the 30 (77-07) line were the TARGET exclusive Ultimate Battle Packs. Research Droids Reviews checks out The Battle Of Hoth, a set that has something for everyone. It's not as good at the 2010 "Shadow Of The Dark Side" sets, but it's still pretty sweet. We hope that you'll also leave comments in our Facebook section and vote in our poll.

Our friends at Rebelscum.com have leaked unofficial confirmation through a Toy Fair program that the Republic Attack Shuttle is the next "big" vehicle. Click through for more information!

JTA spoke with Toys R Us today about the glut of "old" product showing up at stores lately. TRU has informed us that leftover product from "Pop-Up" stores is being sent to the "all year" stores from Christmas and this is taking priority before any deliveries from the warehouses (which are getting the new product). The long story short is that many collectors may not be seeing new product hit their local stores if the "Pop-Up" stores' merchandise keeps coming. Let's hope the old stuff sells through. Hopefully it won't have much impact at all.

Readers are writing in to let us know that the Y-wing Bomber is being found for $20.00 on clearance at TJMaxx! If you've been holding out, this may be your last chance!

Jedi Temple Archives is thrilled to introduce our first guest reviewer in our Research Droids Reviews! David Delgado from EchoBaseForums.com continues his look at the rest of the figures from the first wave of The Saga Collection this week. Next up is Chewbacca, who is obviously the wqeakest figure in the wave.

Being easier on our wallets is clearly NOT one of Sideshow Collectibles's New Year's resolutions! 12 Inch Figure collectors beware: 12" Momaw Nadon, Nadon's Nook 12" Figure Environment, the 12" Gamorrean Guard and 12" Captain Rex are all charging and shipping this month. (Dear Lord help us all.) If you're feeling a pinch still from the holidays, be sure to reach out to their Customer Service department and see if you can work out a FLEXPAY arrangement with them.

It seems that many people believe that Hasbro updated the 1985 "Barada" figure in the modern line, but this isn't the case at all. The 1985 figure is actually named Kithaba and the 1999 Cinema Scenes set called Skiff Guards brought us our very first "true" version of Barada. But this figure was beautifully repainted in late 2005 in the very first wave of The Saga Collection. Research Droids Reviews explains this figure's complex history and why this version is the best!

2010 was the year we focused on the 30 (77-07) back catalogue by Hasbro and 2011 is the year for The Saga Collection.

Our friends at Sandtroopers has scored one again and have posted pictures of the next Special Action Figure Sets that will be upcoming TARGET exclusives. While they are no doubt cool, we are upset that Hasbro has elected to include POTF2 figures. THis just isn't the right step to take. The good news, the running change Hoth Rebel Trooper has been included this time around which should make it easier for collectors to army build.
