Review: Darth Vader (Exclusive Collectors Edition) - ROTS - TARGET

30 (77-07) Redux - Wave 1

Posted by Chuck | November 28, 2012 at 08:35 PM ET |

We have always felt that the 30 (77-07) is one of the greatest collections of figures Hasbro has done to date. While not all of them were made in the expected super-articulated fashion that’s become standard today, many of the figures brought into the line are nonetheless done so well from the start that they will likely never see an update again. We will be releasing updates to this very cherished line wave by wave. We have updated our Visual Guides and we’ve processed all-new expanded galleries and a new “stats box” that mimics the card backs of the figures in the line in our Research Droids Reviews. Click through for all the details of wave 1!

Visual Guide Update - Clone Pilot (BD 52) - The Legacy Collection

Posted by Chuck | November 28, 2012 at 07:27 PM ET |

Clone troopers receive specialized training for the particular skills needed to be fighter pilots. They enter their first combat at the Battle of Geonosis and go on to fight throughout the galaxy in their ARC-170 and V-wing fighters. The Legacy Collection finished up its run with a series of repacked figures. Clone Pilot originally came to us from the highly popular Evolutions line, and these well-done figures are always welcome to the basic figure treatment! Click below to check out this figure's Visual Guide, and read about him in our popular Research Droids Review!

Visual Guide Update - Anakin Skywalker (BD 50) - The Legacy Collection

Posted by Chuck | November 27, 2012 at 09:10 PM ET |

Anakin is a Jedi Commander when the Clone Wars begin, though he frequently displays reckless heroism in battle and daring maneuvers in starfighter combat. Battling secret fears, he chafes under the restrictions of the Jedi Order. This version of Anakin comes to us directly from the Revenge of the Sith Evolutions set, packaged on a basic card for the first time in The Legacy Collection. Click below to check out this very well done figure, deserving of the basic figure treatment! You can also read our full report, complete with updated galleries, in our Research Droids Review!

Visual Guide Update - Concept Art Anakin Skywalker (BD 48) - TLC

Posted by Chuck | November 25, 2012 at 07:36 PM ET |

In this concept art by Sang Jun Lee, Anakin wears the "dark Jedi" apparel that outwardly reflects his inner conversion to the dark side of the Force. The outfit was designed to echo the clothing worn by his son Luke during the climactic battle with Emperor Palpatine. Concept art figures became hugely popular with the 30 (77-07) line, and we get a little taste of it in The Legacy Collection with Episode III Concept Art Anakin Skywalker. Click below for our detailed Visual Guide, and, as usual, this figure can be found in our Research Droids Reviews database!

We also want to know why they changed his name from two words to one, but we're inquisitive that way.

One of the most surprising finds today was the highly sought after Movie Heroes wave 2 special value 8-pack of figures for $25, especially since I wasn't there until 12 hours after the Black Friday madness began. But probably even more surprising was a lone Clone Trooper (501st Legion) figure, THE ONLY The Vintage Collection figure hanging from the pegs in the Star Wars aisle at this Walmart!

Review: Sandtrooper [Sergeant - Version 1] - TAC - Saga Legends

Posted by Paul | November 18, 2012 at 12:52 AM ET |

The 2007 30 (77-07) Saga Legends line brought us some of the best-looking Sandtrooper action figures. This is one of them. We study the first version of the Sandtrooper sergeant in our Research Droids Reviews today. See why you'll want one of him.

Sandtrooper [Sergeant - Version 1]

Please head to THIS REPORT at our friends at Yakface.com right this second! The details surrounding the Black Friday multipacks are so much more than we initially thought and certainly more than meets the eye has been revealed. SCUBA Ahsoka? Yup! Just head there now!

Tonights Visual Guide update features a small run we've been sitting on for a while and meaning to add to the archives. We'll take a look at the final two waves of The Legacy Collection as we gear up for another round of Build A Droid in 2013! First up is Emperor Palpatine, featured from The Empire Strikes Back as he contacts Darth Vader during the Sith Lord's pursuit of the Millennium Falcon.

The Vintage Collection On Sale For 4 Days For $7.99 Each (2010 Prices!)

JTA Facebook friend Nic S. writes in with a tip for a TARGET sale on The Vintage Collection. While we would have laughed about this last week, wave 12 is starting to hit pretty hard at TARGET so it may be worth your while to check it out. TVC figures will be on sale for $7.99 each! Thanks for the head's up Nic. Sale starts Sunday and ends Wednesday.

Imperial Navy Commander: CHECK!!!

Posted by Paul | November 17, 2012 at 12:43 PM ET |

November 17, 2012 will be a day long remembered: For it is today that I can say I have now found every single TVC basic figure at some form of brick and mortar retail without finding it online (except for the exclusive wave of course). Yes, I am fortunate and very thankful about that. I was concerned I would have to add the Imperial Navy Commander to my list of four other figures (including 2003's CW Clone Trooper ('03 #50) and 2010's TCW Thi-Sen, Darth Sidious and Commander TX-20 figures) as one I NEVER saw at retail. I still find it unreal that is less than 45 days out from 2013 and I just saw this figure for the very first time today. Regardless, I am very happy. The punch was even hanging by a thread so I have that too! (OK, this post is starting to sound pitifully sad now....)

More Mandalorian Transports For You!

Posted by Paul | November 17, 2012 at 12:31 PM ET |

The Mandalorian Transport two-packs are hitting very hard. Despite initial reports of some stores receiving damaged boxes, new arrivals are in excellent to pristine condition. (They must have started from the bottom of the bin first.) We'd also like to offer a perspective that Hasbro must have lost their shirts on the Shadow Of The Dark Side line (simply by what's arriving now). The line was relatively easy to find during its run (with a few exceptions), yet it seems utlimately that it didn't sell and meet projections. Class I sets are now sitting on the shelves in clearance stores like TJ Maxx and it also appears that an end to these double-packed Class II sets are nowhere in sight. Now if only The Vintage Collection stuff could just find its way to us! Click through to see what we found in our local TRU today!

Visual Guide Update - Shield Generator Assault - The Legacy Collection

Posted by Chuck | November 15, 2012 at 11:14 PM ET |

Han Solo and Princess Leia have to get inside the Imperial bunker; inside is the shield generator that protects the second Death Star. R2-D2 starts to unlock the blast doors, but a stormtrooper's well-aimed shot fries the droid's circuits. Using a captured AT-ST walker, Han tricks the Imperial officers into leaving the bunker, where they are quickly surrounded by Rebels and Ewoks. Check out our latest Visual Guide—a Battle Pack based on this great scene from Return of the Jedi: Shield Generator Assault. You can also read our full review on this set right here!

Review: R4-I9 - TAC - Saga Legends

Posted by Paul | November 15, 2012 at 07:41 AM ET |

Here is another fan-requested Saga Legends figure, R4-I9. This astromech often gets confused with R4-D6 because it is actually identical to R4-D6 (even though Hasbro didn't make them look identical). However, it is a different character altogether. This one is on the Death Star and NOT on the Yavin Rebel base. See this R4 unit in our Research Droids Reviews today.

TARGET has to stop it with these shockers! Well, you're not going to believe this one. It's November and The Vintage Collection figures that should have graced TARGET's pegs in April are now arriving. To our shock and surprise we found the Darth Malgus wave just hanging at two TARGET stores. All of the figures from that wave were there except fro the Imperial Navy Commander. But sweet irony has a sense of humor, because this is the case assortment that has SEVEN The Phantom Menace carry-forward figures in it (WORST! CASE ASSORTMENT!! EVER!!!) So, it sure looks like you're going to have to fight off the holiday traffic now should you decide to start hunting at this retail chain again. But they are indeed arriving. Proof follows!

Toys R Us is getting loads of The Clone Wars "Shadow Of The Dark Side" Special Value Class II vehicle two-packs. And many of you are intent on finding them locally at your own store. If you check the overstock, you might notice that your stores are collecting these cases for the big Thanksgiving and Black Friday door busteres sales. Look for cases with the number 621 on them. This is the case assortment that indeed contains the Mandalorian Transport. You'll also find that for every four or five 620 cases there is about one 621 assortment (at least in the Philly area).

Toys R Us Black Friday Promotion!!!

Posted by Paul | November 11, 2012 at 12:01 AM ET |

Our friends at Yakface.com are reporting that Toys R Us will be running an incredible promotion on The Clone Wars "Shadow Of The Dark Side" vehicle two-packs that are hitting now for $39.99. What stinks for those of us finding them now is that they'll be $19.99 each then. Aside: What the heck?! Wouldn't it have behooved Hasbro to get the Mandalorian Assault Transport to Entertainment Earth and sell them for full price? (Not that I am complaining, but they claim they're not making the money they used to and we're so willing to throw our dollars at them yet we can't.)

I have been trying to study every possible detail to capture it all for the new galleries. (In fact, that's how I discovered the Yoda variation.) But I came across a relatively "shocking" feature to the stunning Zam Wesell figure now. (Yes, she is still stunning to me despite having brown hair.)

Review: Cad Bane - Maquette

Posted by Paul | November 08, 2012 at 05:44 AM ET |

The Cad Bane Maquette is pretty darn cool, but why does Gentle Giant feel the need to place their characters at awkward angles? Just place them in static poses please!

We continue our Wave 14 updates with another figure that we've waited a long time to see on Vintage-style packaging: Grand Moff Tarkin. Many, if not all, Vintage fans feel that this figure should have debuted during the Vintage era, but 35 years later is better-late-than-never! Check him out in the Visual Guide below, and read our full review right here!

Royal Guard Or Royal Ripoff!?

Posted by Paul | November 07, 2012 at 11:20 AM ET |

Unbelievable! It's been about a week since The Vintage Collection wave 16 officially arrived in the USA and into collectors' homes, but look what they are going for on eBay already. Amazon.com is no better and even worse in some instances. This needs to be an alarm to Hasbro that key "vintage" characters will always be in demand. Here is hoping that this figure gets carried forward into the Droid Factory line. And please don't support these exhorbitant prices. It only makes this whole process worse. Let them sit on them and bring the prices down again.

Posted by Paul | November 06, 2012 at 07:54 AM ET |

Is Gentle Giant, Ltd. really going to release the Modal Nodes Cantina Band piece meal? We don't have the time or patience for that. Just knock them all out in a boxed set already! Sheesh! The latest release Tedn Dahai is exactly what you'd expect it to be: Figrin D'an with a fanfar (oh wait, didn't Figrin play that too?!).

Canadian Toys R Us Stores Gouging Collectors?

Posted by Paul | November 04, 2012 at 06:37 PM ET |

We're not the only ones laughing at the ridiculous MSRP of exclusives. (We're looking at you TVC Millennium Falcon!) We've just received word from JTA reader Mark L. from Canada that the Yavin Pilot Pack and Ewok Pack TRU exclusives scan at $54.99 each. $54.99 EACH!!! We don't have visual proof of the shelf price tag, but if one of our other Canadian readers can verify this we would be very appreciative of that. Wow, that's just an ungodly price.

The Vintage Collection Millennium Falcon Hits The East!

Posted by Paul | November 03, 2012 at 01:02 PM ET |

The Vintage Collection Millennium Falcon has arrived at my local TRU, but be warned, the packaging was destroyed on both samples. I passed. When and if I actually consider this huge vehicle for purchase, it's going to have to be a perfect specimen. You should have used stronger cardboard Hasbro, this is going to be a tough sell now.

The Future Of Star Wars: Are You Really Already Moaning And Whining?

Posted by Paul | November 02, 2012 at 09:43 AM ET |

The will of the Force saw it fit for me to be sitting in the pitch black darkness when the biggest announcement of our Star Wars lives was made: Disney buys Lucasfilm, Ltd. Episode VII will indeed “happen.” I thought it was a mean and very early April Fools’ joke and it took a full 48 hours before I could even begin to remotely register what was announced in my brain. You see, after being brow-beaten for years by Mr. Lucas that he would NEVER make Episode VII , Episode VIII and Episode IX, I finally accepted it would never happen. (more....)

We look at the Clone Trooper Officer [Sergeant] today, one figure that Hasbro didn't too often get out in the basic figure lineup since 2002.
