To our complete surprise today in a Philadelphia Walmart, we found all of the 2009 fall exclusives back on the shelves and at full price no less (except for the Evolutions, they were $9.00 each). Maybe Walmart is unaware of all the ROSS deals going on with their products, but we couldn't believe they are giving these things a second chance. Were they hidden in the back rooms or are they getting more product shipped? (Not pictured: we also found plenty of Dewbacks and Octuptarra Droids as well.) Click through for the proof.

Today's Research Droids Reviews continues pimping The Force Unleashed by looking at another cool basic figure.

Today's update looks at the first wave of the red phase of The Clone Wars, even though they technically weren't the first figures found.

There is a lot of action happening in the Hasbro toy line right now especially since this should be a long lull where we shouldn't expect anything brand new until August this year when the new lines hit. But we found a new variation on the Darth Krayt/Sigel Dare Comic Packs set. Hasbro must have taken a cue from all of the paint job complaints from collectors and have stepped up to the plate. Shipping in the latets Comic Packs assortment is a stunningly wonderful new face paint job for the beautiful Sigel Dare action figure. Click through to see the shocking improvement! It almost makes us want to return our first version that we got way back in August 2009. We will be updating our current Research Droids Review on this Comic Packs set shortly so be sure to check back to check it out!

One of JTA's favorite Evolutions sets is the focus of today's Research Droids Reviews for multiple reasons. Even though we now have a newly improved Qui-Gon Jinn figure (both in the Eopie & Qui-Gon Jinn mail-away and the Tatooine Desert Ambush Battle Packs), this set gave us some pretty great action figures.

If you only buy one Premium Format figure this year, buy this one too! The Yoda And Clone Trooper Premium Format figure set from Sideshow Collectibles is one of their best products to date. Period. It is currently IN STOCK at Sideshow and we recommend not waiting too much longer if you are even entertaining picking this up for your collection.

The 30 (77-07) Saga Legends line was one of the best sub lines collectors could have ever asked. Not only did it document a time when Hasbro actually listened to fans, it also gave us army builders, never before available figures and some of the hottest favorites that we may have missed from an earlier time.

In 2009 Hasbro announced that a new Y-wing fighter was in development as a store exclusive.  But in a recent Hasbro Q&A session with Jedi Temple War Room, it was revealed that this exclusive has been put on hold.  However, the new Y-wing may re-emerge for a 2011 release.  And with that delay Hasbro has asked Jedi Temple War Room to find out which version of the Y-wing fighter collectors want the most!  The candidates?

Our very good friends at DewbackPatrol.com asked a rather intriguing question during the latest Hasbro Q&A session and pointed out something to us that we weren't even aware. While we assumed that everyone has the totally amazing Scramble On Yavin Battle Packs, apparently many of you don't as it is catching a premium on eBay. We must lovingly chastize those of you who have not picked it up and are trying to find one for "cheap" now. We think it is hands down the best Battle Packs Hasbro has ever produced. Stick close to JTA as we may just be running another contest in the 'near' future that may just include the Scramble On Yavin set as part of the prize. While you wait and see, be sure to learn more about this set HERE.

It's hard to believe that we didn't get our first super-articulated 501st Legion clone trooper in the basic figure line until 2008, isn't it? The 2008 TAC 501st Legion from the Saga Legends line was the first time this character saw release in super-articulated glory. The figure is not free from flaws, but it is nonetheless one smoking action figure. It is so good that it has been repacked twice since in the TLC and LC Saga Legends lines too. Today's Research Droids Reviews entry discusses this figure in detail and points out that this may be one of the most anticipated action figures of all time. Find out why!

Sideshow Collectibles has just posted an extremely exciting teaser video! First they give us the totally cool Greedo and now they are giving us the even cooler Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead) 12" figure! You absolutely have to check out this video! It is a great time to be a Star Wars 12" collector and we absolutely cannot wait for this figure to be officially announced!

The first Grand Admiral Thrawn action figure turned a decade old when the the new Comic Packs version got released. And the new figure is clearly ten years "better" than the original!

It's five years after the destruction of the second Death Star. The Rebel Alliance has established a New Republic, but its existence is threatened by the old Empire. Grand Admiral Thrawn commands the remnants of the Imperial fleet and is putting together a plan that will destroy the new government. Thrawn contacts Talon Karrde, a man with valuable information that Thrawn needs in order for his plan to succeed. Click below for details on these figures from Heir to the Empire #1.

Durge is one bad bounty hunter! And Hasbro did a pretty good job to capture his evil angst in an action figure (for he receives a removable helmet for the first time), but he unfortunately lacks in other ways. Research Droids Review focuses on the legacy of the Comic Packs line this week and looks at the Anakin Skywalker/Durge set next. Click the banner below for the direct link to the review!

Asajj Ventress is no stranger to long term Star Wars collectors. She gets another stab at retail in the Comic Packs line but we think she is an ideal example that newer does not necessarily mean better. As the focus of today's Research Droids Reviews, we believe that Hasbro has given us much "better" versions of her. But what about her package mate Tol Skorr?

We were very surprised to discover another variation in the basic figure line. The Clone Wars Luminara Unduli (CW30) figure is now shipping with a much brighter and strikingly colored green lightsaber. If you remember from our Research Droids Review on this figure that we pointed out how muted the color was on the lightsaber. It seems as if Hasbro has remedied the situation now by correcting the brightness of the lightsaber blade. Click through to see the side by side comparison!

We got some really great Comic Packs in 2008! The focus of today's Research Droids Reviews is a great example of one of these fine Comic Packs sets. Darth Talon has become a very popular character in the Star Wars universe and this is the only place where you can get a Hasbro action figure of her. Do you have yours yet? You should!

Years ago, when the Sith attacked the Jedi at Ossus, Cade Skywalker disappeared in a fiery blast. Everyone believes he's dead except Wolf Sazen. And as it turns out, Cade's former Jedi Master is right. Cade is now a disillusioned bounty hunter and pirate who carefully hides his true identity from everyone. But through a series of circumstances, Cade must face his past – and battle the ruthless Darth Talon, the Emperor's newly chosen assassin. Click below for details on these figures from Legacy #2.

JTA's Research Droids Reviews are Under Construction! August is a far way off for all the new product and while we will continue to present you with a new review each day, we decided to "spiffy up" some of our older reviews by adding new photo galleries and new edits of the reviews as well as other collector-friendly notes.

Today's update focuses on the rarest wave of figures collectors have seen in a long time in the history of the Star Wars basic figure line based on Attack Of The Clones. The last wave of the blue phase of The Legacy Collection was truly a collector-focused group of figures and provided fans with a great selection of some much needed figures. But were you able to grab them all?! Giving us one of the best Build A Droid figures of the whole series, HK-47 brought what we expected from a droid to all new and record-breaking levels. But can Hasbro now meet or exceed our expectations now? Be sure to spend some time and check out the hard work we're doing for you behind the scenes. We will be doing periodic updates of our older reviews until we're done, so keep checking back with us. Click through to check out our latest updates:

The battle is going badly for the Republic on Jabiim. Separatist forces are launching their final strike, and Republic forces are in retreat. Only a handful of Padawans, whose Masters have been killed in battle, stand between the Republic forces and the approaching Separatists with their Pollux A-Series Assassin Droids. The Padawans decide to fight the Separatists, giving the Republic forces time to escape.

Do you love Bothans? We do and it's hard to believe that we got our first action figure of one in 2008, 25 years after we heard the word "Bothan" in Return Of The Jedi!
