     As we usher in a new era of AllTroops.com, with more toylines and a few more utilities on the way, we open up our Third Anniversary Giveaway: One Giveaway - Two Prizes! A Premium Membership prize and a Standard Membership prize awaits all entrants. And entering is easy - as long as you are an AllTroops Member, simply make a post in the Giveaway thread and you're in. The opportunity closes on July 25th, 2005, so get over to AllTroops now to participate!

    Jedi Research Droid Report!
    [Pete | 07/07/05]

         The Jedi Temple on Coruscant may be in ruins but the Jedi Research Droid keeps digging up information from time to time. We don't know if it is a system malfunction but he insists on telling us that later this year we will be getting a Wedge Antilles figure on an OTC style card. He also insists (and this could be because he is a biased machine) that this will not be for sale at you local TRU, but that you will find this figure on-line. As you know, this information is coming from a battle worn Jedi Research Droid and is not official until Hasbro says it is...


    What's Next for Hasbro?

         On Utapau, the crab droids served as a deadly threat against the clone troopers of General Obi-Wan Kenobi's attack battalions, though brave soldiers able to outrun its targeting sensors found weak spots behind the forward armor that could be exploited.
         This prototype Theed Hangar shows one section of the N-1 starfighter bays. The hangar becomes a battle scene as the resistance led by Queen Amidala repel the Trade Federation droids. An epic duel between the two Jedi and the Sith also unravels inside the hangar.
