Posted by Paul | April 30, 2009 at 06:30 PM ET |
The Shaak Ti mini bust is approaching one year old this June, but due to the glut of product, she has been put on many collector backburners, including ours. We just picked up this mini bust on clearance at the Entertainment Earth birthday celebration and were stunned with the quality and sculpt of this beautiful piece. It is truly underrated, so we wanted to pass along some photos to hopefully whet your appetites and create some desire to add it to your collections as well. Click through for photos!

Dan "The Man" Curto posts the exciting news at Rebelscum.com that a photo of The Legacy Collection Stormtrooper Commander showed up in their forums. While it appears that Hasbro is going back to an angular card back, the packaged looks quite plain and boring and just doesn't match the same awesome as the 30th Anniversary version. No word if the figure includes its personalized stand yet or not, but click the thumbnail below to see a nice big picture of it.

Three Battle Packs that were released in very late 2008 (around December) and disappeared very quickly are starting to hit store shelves again here and there.

LOST Episode Tonight - ''Some Like It Hoth''
Posted by Paul | April 15, 2009 at 07:53 PM ET |
LOST fans! Tonight's episode is called "Some Like It Hoth," a play on the 1959 Marilyn Monroe film, "Some Like It Hot". After an intense search on Wikipedia and Yahoo!, the only reference to Hoth we could find is our beloved system from The Empire Strikes Back. So, with no other prior knowledge, it will be interesting to see if Episode V is indeed mentioned in some way, or if we are just totally off base with our assumption here....find out at 9:00 PM (EDT).

UPDATE! More Hasbro Legacy Collection BD Variations!
Posted by Paul | April 14, 2009 at 12:53 PM ET |
As a follow-up to our earlier report, JTA has found three more older Droid Factory figures with new R5-A2 parts. Click through for the details!
It's
not like Hasbro has not been completely up front with us this year when they
explained that it would be a difficult year for packaging variant collectors
and this latest find confirms this dread. Older Build A Droid figures keep
showing up with the latest droid factory parts. Here is hopefully a
complete variation overview of what has just been rereleased. If you know
of any other figures that contain new R5-A2 and/or R2-L3 parts, please drop
us a line so we can post. Read

Hasbro Is Upfront About Future Of Collector Based Figures
Posted by Paul | April 14, 2009 at 08:54 AM ET |
The good people over at JediDefender.com have received a grim response from Hasbro about the breadth of what will come down the pike for collector based figures (among other things). Admitting to decreases in sales across multiple sublines, Hasbro explains what their refocused vision will be for the Star Wars brand. This is why we need to vote with our dollars!

Kmart 'Exclusive' Legends Of The Saga 5 Pack - Price Cut
Posted by Paul | April 13, 2009 at 11:54 PM ET |
Hot off of the heels of their fantastic $4.99 basic figure sale (or during - who really knows), Kmart cuts the price to their (exclusive?) Legends Of The Saga 5 pack that includes 2000's POTJ Darth Maul (repainted), 1999's POTF Darth Vader (CommTech with new parts), 2001's POTJ Boba Fett (300th Figure - repainted), 2004's Luke Skywalker (Jabba's Palace - repainted), and 1999's EI Obi-Wan Kenobi (repainted with soft-goods cloak). The differences are enough to annoy you. Originally as high as $27.49, it has been found for the low price $13.60 each at a New Jersey Kmart today. Now is the time to act if you have been holding off on this set. Oh, and their $4.99 basic figures are back up to $9.89 today too! Ouch! Click through for proof.

The Force Unleashed 3 Packs From WAL*MART To TRU!
Posted by Paul | April 12, 2009 at 02:25 PM ET |
Toys R Us seemed to be the store to hit this Easter weekend! Not only were the pegs stuffed to the gills with figures, many of their exclusives were put out for the first time too! The previous WAL*MART exclusive The Force Unleashed three packs that were $14.76 have now been repackaged into the blue and white line look and made TRU exclusives for $19.99. While the package is not nearly as appealling as the 30 (77-07) version, it is nice for Hasbro to put these out again so quickly since many collectors had missed out the first time. So far they look like exact repacks, but we'll be sure to let you know if the paint jobs are different at all. Click through for larger pics!

A Plead To Hasbro - Captain Fordo Phase II
Posted by Paul | April 09, 2009 at 09:44 AM ET |
Fellow collectors! JTA asks that you join us in the request to Hasbro to treat us to Captain Fordo in phase II armor from the original animated Clone Wars series for the basic figure line. For heaven's sake, we even have a bust-up of him from Gentle Giant. He had such a major role in Volume 2 of the series, it is almost unfair that he hasn't been visited in 3.75" glory. We know that Hasbro has basically said 'goodbye' to the orginal Clone Wars series, but maybe they can squeak one or two more into our collections periodically. (And this figure could be a simple kit-bash or repaint of older figures too, perfect for their annual repack/repaint waves!) Let your voice be heard in our forums!

Sideshow 12" Darth Vader Gets Delayed!
Posted by Paul | April 07, 2009 at 06:04 PM ET |
If you are Sideshow Collectibles fan like myself, then you may be a little sad to find out that you will have to wait longer for your 12" Darth Vader figure. Originally slated for a first quarter 2009 release, the item has been delayed until third quarter 2009. So, we must learn patience and wait before we get the leader of the Imperial army. Both versions of the figure are currently sold out, but get on either the regular or exclusive Wait List now!

The Sideshow Collectibles 12" 1/6 scale Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Knight) from Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones has arrived to much collector excitement.
