Fan's Choice winners are curious aren't they? Research Droids Reviews looks at a so-called Fans' Choice winner that really wasn't a winner at all, except maybe in the hearts of Knight Of The Old Republic fans!

2010 is shaping up to be the year of Boba Fett, isn't it? And Research Droids Reviews isn't done taking the focus off of him yet either. The VCD line is definitely a unique, but nonetheless cool line of collectibles. Be sure to check out a version of Boba Fett that hasn't seen much billing as a Star Wars collectible except as a VCD.

You may have recalled our report in June (found HERE) about how Hasbro informed us that they also sold out of Nahdar Vebb figures just like they did for the Qui-Gon Jinn And Eopie mail-away. Well, we received confirmation just today that the new batches of Nahdar Vebb won't be able to ship until October 30, 2010! Yikes! Click through to read all about it!

For those of you needing to catch up on a few Star Wars items in the "red" line look (and even some in the "blue" line look), Kmart is taking an additional 30% off of all their clearance toys and from what we've witnessed, they have quite a bit of product left over. For example, we found the Y-wing Bomber for $36.40 and the Clone Trooper Squad (Kmart exclusive) for $13.30 among many other items. Good luck on your searches!

One of Research Droids Reviews unofficial goals is to spread the gospel of Tartakovsky's brilliant interpretation of the extremely canonical Clone Wars, a series that Lucasfilm seems to want to sweep under their carpet sadly. But that won't stop us from proselytizing until we're done hitting all the cool characters from it. Luke wasn't the only one to experience failure at a cave. Like his father before him, Anakin Skywalker too saw a terrible vision of his possible future, except his came to pass. Often erroneously billed as "Tattooed Anakin", the blue marks on his body when on Nelvann are actually "geometric hickeys" and not dye on his body.

But that won't stop us from proselytizing until we're done hitting all the cool characters from it. Yoda and his gift from the Wookies, the kybuck, made their debut in the very first chapter of the Clone Wars and became one of Hasbro's most successful accomplishments in the basic figure line.

JTA found the Legacy Of The Dark Side TRU exclusive two-packs at our local stores in Philadelphia. Hasbro, is this really happneing? Are you really trying to reinvent the Evolutions wheel again? If you are, try making something new first unless you want a repeat performance please. And we haven't even mentioned the worst part yet: they retail for $17.99. Two figures for $17.99? The Evolutions were $19.99 and we got THREE figures, Hasbro! The Grievous set will undoubtedly be the most popular of them all for obvious reasons. Click through for a quick picture of what we found.

The Walmart exclusive Jabba's Throne has been making return appearances at retail on the East Coast. It has been a little bit of a burden to find at retail and with a shelf space allotment of 2-3 pieces at most retail locations, we suspect the sell through will be stronger than previous exclusives. We recommend not waiting if you see this piece. We are more confident than ever that Hasbro has learned their lesson on over-produced exclusives so this may be a slightly limited run. Of course we could be very wrong here, but why risk it? If you still haven't found one and are looking to learn more about it, be sure to catch our very popular Research Droids Review on it HERE.

An awesome image from eBay seller tunghori shows up to show off the new TVC Anakin Skywalker figure from Episode III.

Han Solo (Hoth Outfit) is a mainstay in the Star Wars action figure line. Research Droids Reviews talks about a variation of the "vintage" figure we have seen before but not on a basic figure card. Ironically he doesn't appear on a "vintage" cardback in The Vintage Collection. Click the banner below for the direct link to the review!

The new product is finally hitting Walmart stores. But it appears that Walmart has also decided to imitate Toys R Us and follow their own destiny by setting the price point for The Clone Wars line at $7.96. TRU's TVC at $9.99 is just simply a crime and now we are worried that other retail outlets will follow suit. Thankfully (for now), The Vintage Collection is also set at $7.96 (knock on wood) at Walmart, but why can't retail in general follow Hasbro's recommended MSRP on all of the Star Wars product lines? Hasbro recommended $6.99 for Saga Legends and The Clone Wars and $7.99 for The Vintage Collection and the only retailer acting like a golden child and "obeying" is TARGET. Let us know what you're experiencing in your area too.

We are extremely happy that we didn't bet that Jod Kast from The Legacy Collection was going to be the only time we would see this character in the basic action figure line.
