The Boba Fett (Throne Room) figure is beautiful, but it’s also a scam. Hasbro wants you to believe it’s a “DELUXE” figure! (Psst! It’s not!) You just have to pay a “DELUXE” price for it is all. (more….)

On display at Celebration Anaheim, this TV is very impressive. As with most Samsung OLED TVs, it’s at a premium price point. But, if you want a Star Wars-themed TV for your Star Wars room, this is the one to have. Check out Steve Sansweet’s unboxing of this impressive TV. 

One figure that has always been on my list, but always just a little too expensive for me to justify buying on eBay is TVC Tarkin. The cost is justified due to the demand of the figure. Honestly, though, the real reason I haven’t bought one is because the figure doesn’t really look that good. It’s an odd green color, and the soft goods were misused. I have taken steps toward making my own custom, but I would really like an all-new Grand Moff Tarkin. What do you think, Toy Runners? Is Tarkin worthy of an all-new slot in TVC? Let us know…

I recently had the pleasure of trading some patches with Josh of Pop Culture Fun. He was nice enough to send me some extras of his custom patch artwork so I wanted to give him a shout-out! I recommend checking out his offerings, including a very cool Endor set that is due to launch soon. Josh also helped create and organize several patch sets for Celebration Anaheim last month.

Good day to you, toy runners. Today I bring you a report from a local toy convention that was held in Glendale, AZ. There were plenty of toys from just about every line you can think of, vintage and modern. I ended up not buying any new Star Wars figures though! I’m at a point in my collection where I am very satisfied with what I have from past releases. I buy what grabs my attention now.  See anything here that grabs yours?

With the release of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ a new debate about canon has come to the forefront. Some fans feel Obi-Wan Kenobi violates and breaks canon too much, a young Leia meets Obi-Wan Kenobi while in A New Hope she acts as if she merely knows him as some Clone Wars general who served for Bail Organa. Darth Vader meets Obi-Wan in the flesh even though the dialogue in A New Hope heavily implies that the last time they met was on Mustafar. Other fans however just enjoy the ride and don’t bother too much with those details. So today I want to talk about canon, its importance, its limitations and whether or not canon should be the most important thing in a franchise. Click through for the discussion.

Dion M. from Auckland, NZ shared a great find to the TVC Facebook group: Darth Vader (Dark Times) (VC241). This figure has not been announced yet and will probably be officially revealed as a part of tomorrow’s Obi-Wan Wednesdays. This figure will likely round out Wave 35. He also found Reva (Third Sister) (VC242) and the rest of the wave as well at Farmers. Crazy that these figures are listed as shipping in September but are already on shelves in New Zealand! There are also quite a few reports of the rest of the wave in the SWNZ Facebook group.

JTA reader and friend, Alientek ordered a bunch of figures off of Hasbro Toy Shop’s eBay Store and received this little gem in the mail from them. It’s the Walmart exclusive The Vintage Collection Death Star Droid sealed UPSIDE DOWN on the card. Coincidentally, Hasbro Toy Shop packaged the figure in a way that resulted in a curled card, but the figure has a much bigger issue.

There are a lot of pre-orders today, and they all launch at 1 PM Eastern (It’s likely the Target and GameStop exclusives won’t hit right at 1). We’ll post a distilled list and add links as we find them at 1 PM, so check back with direct links closer to 1 PM. You can also keep an eye on the Entertainment Earth new products page for the mainline and fan channel releases once they go live. 

Check out the character posters from the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The Star Wars “Saga” line is officially two decades old. We’re revisiting all of the figures that made up this unprecedented lineup. Today, we continue with 2002’s Star Wars “Saga” [Phase I] Darth Vader (Bespin Duel) (’02 #30) figure. Check out the new review template, the all-new Photo Gallery, the rewritten review, and the other content we updated as we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the line that supported Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones.
