The 30 (77-07) Saga Legends line brought us a Sandtrooper bonanza. We received no less than 4 unique types and Research Droids Reviews looks at the second squad leader today.

It seems that not even action figure-sized USB drives are exempt from variations! Obviously hanging next to the Hasbro action figures in Toys R Us is taking its toll!

Whether you're new to collecting or not, you've probably heard of the fan-favorite 7" Unleashed line from Hasbro. This popular line didn't last as long as many had hope for unfortunately, but it had a great run while it was active. Fans for years have requested Hasbro to release the artwork in some way as it captures our most beloved Star Wars heroes and villains in very striking poses. Well, an oversized calendar has just been released and our friends at Rebelscum.com have the full scoop! Click through to check it out!

TODAY and TOMORROW only, Toys R Us has their basic Star Wars action figures on sale for 2 for $12.99. It's not the greatest deal unless your getting figures from The Vintage Collection, and of course your store has to even have new figures to make this worthwhile, but check your local TRU for more!

In 2006 we probably didn't think we'd be sick to death of Sandtrooper action figures a short half decade later, but most of us were indeed affected this way. The Saga Collection brought us a fairly decent Sandtrooper action figure but Research Droids Reviews points out that it could be slightly improved. We welcome back David Delgado from EchoBaseNews.com as he helps us finish up wave 5 of The Saga Collection today.

JediDefender.com has completed what they're hailing as an unscientific study of what figures should likely make the top 20 list for the 2011 Hasbro Fans' Choice Poll. This is based on the final compiled results of participating Star Wars fan sites and what they listed as their own top 10. While some sites have yet to report their results, take a gander at what looks to be a great educated guess of the running champions that will make the final cut.

JTA affiliate SWNZ (Star Wars New Zealand) has posted some great loose photos of the upcoming The Vintage Collection Luke Skywalker's Tauntaun and the Landspeeder Vehicle. Click the thumbnail below to check them all out.

Our friends James Burns from JediNews.co.uk and Dan Curto from Rebelscum.com are celebrating one year of the Force Cast Collector's Edition pod cast!

Did you know that in 2006 Hasbro snuck one of the all-new accessories from the 2003 cancelled Yavin Hangar Accessory Set TARGET exclusive into the Darth Vader (SAGA 038) basic figure? Yup, it's true and to date it's the only place you can get it. Research Droids Reviews points out however that Hasbro found a new purpose for it. This time utilized as debris Darth Vader uses to throw at Luke Skywalker on Bespin.... it fits like a glove in the basic figure line. Another example of how a figure's accessories are more important than the figure itself, Darth Vader (SAGA 038) is definitely an action figure you should own for that reason alone. It's the second Darth Vader action figure from The Empire Strikes Back in 2006 and this is the second (and better) one without a removable helmet dome.

Here is a quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about a variety of new preorders and a bunch of great new arrivals!

You saw our previous store report of what The Clone Wars waves are hitting retail HERE. But JTA readers Bailey (from Tennesee) and Mike T. (Southwest Florida) just emailed us to let us know that now the [Cold Weather] Plo Koon wave has also hit Toys R Us now in their areas. It's taking a long time, but it seems everything will inevitably end up everywhere (or so we suppose) eventually. On a slightly different note, the Battle Above Endor sets are on sale TODAY and TOMORROW only for $21.99 ($10 off) which is actually a deal since TRU is currently gouging collectors at $31.99 each.

Here is our Wednesday recap of the past week's Research Droids Reviews in an effort to let you know which Star Wars products have been added to our database. In case you may have missed any, simply click on each thumbnail below to take you directly to that specific review! And don't forget to put in your own two cents by leaving your thoughts in our Disqus comments module and/or voting in the poll found at the bottom of each and every review now!

If Hasbro would have just retooled his chubby hands and angled his arms differently, this Han Solo action figure would have been significantly better. We don't get too many accessories with this version, but see how Research Droids Reviews analyzes this figure's worth as a possible candidate for your collection.

"Any" means "any" especially to Canadian JTA Facebook fan Frederick Foster, who sent in 5 Kenner vintage POPs from the late 70s and early 80s and has confirmed that Hasbro has cashed his check for the free Boba Fett (Prototype Armor) mail-away figure. Click through to see this very funny transaction!

OK - here's a figure that proves a $6.99 purchase is worthy based on the accessories alone! Yes, it's true. Luke Skywalker (Escape From Mos Eisley) from The Saga Collection is an old sculpt repainted with a brand new head, but the accessories he comes with are enough to make you drool.

Our friends at Yakface.com are reporting that wave 9 of The Vintage Collection is now being found at TARGET, even before wave 8! Wow, like that hasn't ever happened before.....

Holy moly! Clone Trooper Cutup hits eBay. It appears Hasbro will be making the rest of the Domino Squad after all! Check it out up close!

The new Pit Droid hits eBay for a dirt cheap price. Is that multiple points of articulation I see too for the first time? Check it out up close!

JTA foreign reader PackoM from Spain writes in to let us know that a huge selection of USA exclusives have made their way into Spain.

Hem Dazon was another great addition to The Saga Collection with really only a few issues. He cannot hold his gun, but it fits nicely in his holster. And he has an overall great sculpt despite being only a puppet head in Episode IV.

Happy 60th birthday to the man who played Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill!!

BanthaSkull.com has a great look at the three new figures that make up wave 9 of The Vintage Collection including Ponda Baba (Walrusman), Rebel Soldier (Echo Base Battle Gear) and Bastila Shan. Click the banner below to check them all out in detail.

It was one of the hardest The Saga Collection action figures to find because it only shipped in one case. You probably still found him with relative ease though because "rare" in 2006 is by no means the same "rare" in 2011. (Figures actually shipped to stores in 2006 with some regularity. We're being acidic, please forgive us). Garindan, as Research Droids Reviews determines, is a major step up from the 1997 but he isn't in the clear to be deemed definitive. That doesn't mean we don't love him either. Please feel free to leave your own comments in our new Disqus comments section about this item and as always, please vote in our poll!

JTA foreign correspondent Bryan Mark German sends us some nice front, back and up-close shots of the just arrived wave 8 of The Vintage Collection in the Philippines. Before you get too excited, wave 8 is simply known as the Revenge Of The Jedi wave which really just contains repacks (for the most part - there are some exceptions like Han Solo (In Trench Coat) for example). There are however some very intriguing things happening with the final production samples. YOU MUST FIND OUT WHAT WE'VE DISCOVERED. Click through to see this and a WHOLE bunch more.

By laws of mathematical induction, assuming that n is true and n+1 is also true, we can then assume the the rest is true. All Walmart stores in the Philly area have The Clone Wars figures reduced to $6.88 and a call into a friend also confirmed the same in NJ. So I would assume this is true for the rest of the country too, but don't take my word for it and be sure to check it out for yourself. No price reductions on Saga Legends or The Vintage Collection yet. Still, if it is true for The Clone Wars figures, that's a good price. The Clone Wars figures haven't been this price since the line launch in August of 2010. Click through for the proof (and don't trust my math skills either, it's been a very long time since I took Mathematical Reasoning at Rutgers).

The Star Wars branding is taking over some of our favorite food products. Pringles, Cheerios and other products can all now be found in Star Wars packaging! What's more interesting however is the new animated takes on the Original Trilogy characters. Do you think a new animated cartoon based on characters from the films is possible? Or is it just a clever marketing scheme to keep more in line with The Clone Wars? Interesting to say the least. It would have been a lot easier just to use stills and photos than create new animated takes of them. Click through for proof.

We found the Death Star Trench Run in Philly this morning at our local TRU store. These have made it across the land! Click through for proof.

See what a real R5-D4 action figure is supposed to look like in our Research Droids Reviews today. What a shame Hasbro utilized the Build A Droid R5 unit sculpt to make the R5-D4 action figure in The Vintage Collection because this figure is infinitely better. For the record, a Build A Droid figure is not a premium made collector focused action figure and should never be carded in The Vintage Collection. Oh Hasbro, why must you do this to us?

Sideshow Collectibles announced the edition size to their excluisve 12" Boba Fett figure. Limited to only 2000 pieces, this will surely command a premium on the aftermarket once people realize they won't be finding it on eBay that often! (Think 12" Darth Vader - the same will likely happen with Mr. Fett too.) Be sure to get on the Wait List ASAP. or order the regular version HERE.

It's hard to believe that one of the best action figures Hasbro has ever created only has six swivel joints. But Research Droids Reviews tries to explain that it's sometimes true for an action figure to be near perfect because of the strength of its sculpt and not its articulation. Such is true for Momaw Nadon from The Saga Collection. It's one of the absolute best action figures of all time.

Here is a quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about a bunch of great new preorders and more exciting new arrivals.

There are some action figures done so well that it's quite understandable (and acceptable) that their sculpts get reused again and again in order for Hasbro to make new characters. See the latest ARF Trooper, a Kamino flavored one, in our Research Droids Reviews today because it's even better than many of the recently released action figures in The Clone Wars line. He's not entirely accurate.... yet, but you'll see why once you click through.

Are you "vintage obsessed" and can't find anything worthwhile to buy due to lack of stuff out there? (It will get better.) Well, in true vintage fashion, four beautifully designed drinking glasses (that hold 10 oz. each) and clearly inspired by the Burger King glasses from long ago, have just been put up for pre-order at Entertainment Earth as a set for a very reasonable $14.99. Be forewarned before you click through because you're going to want to buy these. Thanks to JTA reader User897 for alerting us to this awesome product.

UPDATE: JTA reader Jason W. just wrote in to let us know this gorgeous set of glasses has been found at ROSS and for $9.99. That's a great deal for $5 cheaper and no shipping charges!

OK, so you saw the reports on the TARGET purge. Just this morning, we couldn't believe our eyes as we witnessed a local Hasbro rep pulling figures off of our local Walmart shelves. We asked and she confirmed that there is indeed a directive from Hasbro to perform this action retail-wide. If you visit your local store(s) and notice that the pegs are thinner, that store has been "hit". If you have been waiting for the likes of the yellowed Clone Trooper, (Twin Pod) Cloud Car Pilot, 4-LOM or Dengar to go on sale, forget about it. These will be history shortly. If you waited, make it an urgent mission to get these action figures for your collection.

Toys R Us just send out an ad which is claiming that all LEGO construction sets and boardgames are Buy One Get One 50% off. It will be interesting to see if this can be combined with their already 10-30% special going on right now. This special 2 day sale is for tomorrow Friday, September 16th and Saturday, September 17th only! It may be worth the trip, you just never know!

UPDATE: The coupons and other details inside of the ad clarify that Star Wars LEGOS are excluded from the BOGO portion of the sale. It makes sense, but the front of the ad doesn't have this disclaimer. TRU needs to learn how to advertise properly!

Some of you aren't going to like this post, but please don't send me hate mail.

It will however likely disappear as there are less than a dozen. Click through for more!

UPDATE: Never mind! Toy Wiz jacked the price of this figure up to $60! Not worth it!

OK, so we all learned that not all of the TRU stuff was on sale for 30% despite conflicting interpretations of their ad. Just today, I calmly and professionally explained how myself and others interpreted what "ALL Star Wars figures" means. Management at the store agreed and graciously adjusted my receipts further. In short, I got the Star Wars: Republic Commando (Delta Squad) and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Sith & Imperial Troopers) for $27.99 and the TRU exclusive Deluxe sets for $12.59 each. Respect, calmness and a smile go a long way. Good luck with your adjustments if you are able to plead your case.

JTA reader and friend sjefke writes in and sends us a photo of recent theft at his local TRU in Belaire, MD. When he told the store manager, he basically got no response. Sigh.... Please do tell your store manager if you find instances of this theft.

Our pals at Rebelscum.com have new photos of the upcoming "sandstorm deleted scene" figures in their forums courtesy of Stephen Hayford also! Check them out!

Pause to reflect on what happened a decade ago.

The elusive Wedge Antilles from The Vintage Collection is the subject of today's Research Droids Reviews. We think it's a great interpretation of him, but certainly not worthy of the drama he has caused in the collecting community. (That is, the head sculpt delay wasn't worth the distress!)

JTA is proud to present an exclusive report to you on what's happening at Toys R Us tomorrow. Make sure you're there tomorrow morning. Stores have held back stock for this special event! Click through to learn all about it!

If you're fortunate enough to have TRU store near you that sits on exclusives, now's the time to check out and see what they have left. In a rare move, they have significantly reduced the prices in an effort to clearance them out. We located The Clone Wars Imperial V-wing Starfighter for $15.98 (down from $29.99) and the Legacy Collection TIE Interceptor for $19.98 (the only place you can get the TIE Fighter Pilot without the ace stripes down from $49.99). Click through to see the proof!

It seem that TARGET has finally gotten sick of their remaining 2010 exclusives and have finally marked down the DVD sets (Animated Series Episode packs) down to $12.48 each (in Philly at least). They've sat for so long that the clone troopers have begun to yellow (or green)! These have been full price for us until now. Sorry for the blurry picture, but you already know what these sets look like. Check out reviews for both HERE. Click through to see the proof!

Look what we found in Kmart this morning! You just never know what is capable of showing up when you're a Star Wars collector. This is a rare figure in case you aren't aware. Click through to check out our find!

UPDATE: It seems that many of you out there weren't aware why this Chewbacca is a rare find. Initial shipments of the 2009 LC Saga Legends (SL15) was shipped with the 2008 TLC Chewbacca (BD 3) figure. It was quickly replaced with the 2007 TAC Betrayal On Bespin figure (which is based almost entirely on the 2004 VOTC figure).

JTA is THRILLED to report that nearly every single Toys R Us store in the Philly area has put out a center floor display in the front entrance area (where the current TCW promotional area is already established) filled to the gills with wave 23 of The Clone Wars (Seripas, Cold Weather Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin, et. al.) and wave 6 of The Vintage Collection unpunched! There are many other things packed into this display as well. You best head to your Toys R Us store ASAP and see if you can score these awesome new figures as well! And stay close with us because we have inside information of an event happening starting tomorrow at TRU as well! The announcement is coming soon, we promise! Click through to see the new floor display!

You've likely seen our most recent Hasbro Q&A already (published just moments ago tonight), but in case you didn't, Hasbro passed along to us the complete numbering system for The Vintage Collection through VC91. We have organized it a bit better for you so it's more pleasing to the eyes and arranged by "wave". What remains unanswered however are the fates of G8-R3 and Ric Olie. They did not make it into the numbering convention.... yet. Are they cancelled? Are they delayed? What do you think? But click through and see all of the goodness that is coming!

JTA Facebook friend Roberto Roque is reporting that the Wedge Antilles wave has made it into Mexico. Found at Walmart, he actually passed on the figure in favor of Yoda, Admiral Ackbar and Woof! Yikes! But the point here is that maybe the cases will make it to Walmart stores in the USA too. Keep your eyes peeled!

With all of the Expanded Universe takes on the vehicles Hasbro releases, it's really nice to see ones that actually appear in The Clone Wars television show! Research Droids Reviews sees the Trade Federation AAT (Armored Assault Tank) as a worthy addition to The Clone Wars line, but is hoping for an overhaul on the current mold or an all-new sculpt if tooling budgets allow.

I had an interaction with a couple today at TARGET that was slightly entertaining for me, but overall awkward by the end. Read on for more....

Bastila Shan hits eBay! Special thanks to JTA reader Chad Harrison for the heads-up!

Now through October 15th (wow!), TARGET has marked down their exclusive Special Action Figure Sets and the Battle Packs down to $17.99. This means that collectors are only paying $5.99 per figure. This is a BARGAIN!

We have learned of a rumor. Please take this with a grain of salt until more in confirmed, but one of our readers has attempted to purchase some of the currently available Star Wars films on DVD. He was informed by a Walmart employee that all have been recalled. I have also not been able to find any in stock at the moment. Have we all missed the boat trying to grab the current versions? Does this mean that forever our beloved films will have Ewoks blinking? Could Lucasfilm, Ltd. be futilely trying to get rid of remaining existing versions of the Star Wars saga? More on this later as the story develops. But let us know if your experiences are different.

Our friends at Sandtroopers.com are reporting that the Rebel Soldier (Echo Base Outfit) and the new Ponda Baba (Walrusman) have been found in Hong Kong! We're not exactly sure how far they are away from the USA, but click through to read their full report!

Sometimes things can go so wrong for a Star Wars collectible. We think something definitely went wrong with the Entertainment Earth exclusive Obi-Wan Kenobi Mini Bust. A character that most licensees can nail with relative ease, Research Droids Reviews is royally disappointed with the Gentle Giant, Ltd. Episode III interpretation of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Jedi Temple Archives is still working on a way to successfully host an indefinite Droid Factory "Swap Meet" at our site and keep parts in stock here to serve as a collectors' resource so they can finish some of their incomplete droids.

It would be great if you could update your thoughts and check out what others are writing in our forums about this. Please click through and read our forum post on this topic and voice your opinion.

The Republic Fighter Tank is one of the best mid size vehicles Hasbro has made to date. In fact, they even think it's good and decided to repaint it and sell it again in The Clone Wars line (although it's never appeared in the television show or movie yet).

One of our readers sent in a picture from his local Toys R Us to let everyone know that they are running a special on the BAT-AT for $30 off through Labor Day! This isn't a bad deal at all! But keep in mind that this vehicle really retailed for $99.99 most everywhere else, so it's more like $20 off instead. See below for the proof.

Despite Darth Revan's popularity, there are not too many toys and collectibles based on him. In fact, unless we counted incorrectly, Gentle Giant's Mini Bust is only the second item to purchase as a collectible after Hasbro's action figure (we could be wrong) (Editor's Note: We were wrong. JTA reader hopestarbrowning writes in to let us know we forgot about 2 version of Darth Malak collectibles. There is also a Mighty Mugg and a STar Wars Miniatures figure. Thank you!). See why Research Droids Reviews is happy to see another Darth Revan hit the collectible market, but wishes how more time would have been spent getting the finer details perfect.
