Have we buttered you up enough yet? As you know, we are slowly but surely getting all of our Research Droids Reviews into the new format. We have updated 2009's Legacy Collection The Phantom Menace and Return Of The Jedi waves and for the first time included voting polls in them. (They were sans polls at original publication date because we didn't have the polls ready yet.) If you're so inclined, we would love for you to go back and check out the new format and most importantly place your vote. It will be a step back in time, but we would love your opinions to be documented in our polls! Giran, Rum Sleg, Princess Leia (Slave Outfit), Paploo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Gungan Warrior among many others would be thrilled to get your feedback as well! Would you kindly make them happy? Click HERE for The Phantom Menace wave and HERE for the Return Of The Jedi wave. Oh, and thank you so much for reading our reviews! As always, you're the best!

You've seen similar reports here at JTA, but now our friends at GalacticHunter.com are reporting a horrific tragedy at a reader's local Walmart. Scummy and villainous thieves are attacking the intergrity and beauty of The Vintage Collection by replacing the figures with shoddy POTF2 figures. Click the thumbnail below to read their story! Ugh! Please report this to store managers when you find this horror folks. It may just help one day.

Found! From Australia to the West Coast and now finally the East Coast, we are thrilled to report that we have found the running change Saga Legends Jango Fett that we reported to you a few weeks ago (with great thanks to Mike Sarantos from MouseDroid.com for the original photo)! This is a totally awesome figure that certainly deserves rerelease. If you don't think so, go check out our review on it! We found two in Tullytown, PA (close to Philadelphia) this morning and more are destined to show up! Click through for the proof!

Found! We found the Walmart exclusive Malevolence DVD sets for $15.97 each. Ouch! There are three total and they are individually numbered. We don't think there are many if any differences in these figures, but until we do a side by side comparison, we won't say either way yet. These were found in Tullytown, PA (close to Philadelphia). Click through for the proof!

Found! We found the Walmart exclusive Kit Fisto's Jedi Starfighter in Walmart this morning in Tullytown, PA (close to Philadelphia) for $23.97. Start up your searches again folks! Click through for the proof!

Research Droids Reviews can lead you to water, but we can't make you drink. We have discovered a newfound reason to get your heart softer to The Clone Wars line if you aren't a fan yet and his name is Robonino.

Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) is a staple in the basic figure line and it took some time before Hasbro started releasing "acceptable" versions of him. 2007 seemed to be the year for Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) to start looking pretty good (in our own opinion)! Research Droids Reviews looks at maybe the first version that started Hasbro on the right path to where we are today. See if you agree with out sentiments.

We teased you a week ago and just again yesterday. But the time is NOW! This will be a day long remembered here at Jedi Temple Archives. We don't know where the time goes anymore, but somehow we have reached our 500th Research Droids Reviews entry. To celebrate this landmark, we have given Research Droids Reviews a facelift (and have also added a few new bells and whistles). We hope you like the upgrades we have made.

We are in desperate need of your questions. Right now, we can't post a fifth Q&A With JTA column without more incoming questions. Would you take a moment and send us a question, or two or three? Thank you! E-mail questions HERE please.

During our Q&A With JTA #4, a question was asked about why the new The Vintage Collection figure card backs can't look more like the original vintage figures (with the complete group shot of the entire collection). JTA reader Bob Sokol impressively comes through for us and recalls where and when Hasbro answered this question. Click through to check out the answer. And check out our Q&A With JTA column #4 if you haven't already!

It changes tomorrow morning. Will you be here to see it?

We believe you won't want to miss what's new and improved....

JTA reader Mike Sarantos sends us a picture of the running change of Jango Fett from the 2002 SW version to the 2007 TAC version, something we surmised would happen but actually looks to be happening now. This is such a great figure and a wise decision on Hasbro's part. Click through for the full photo!

The Vinyl Collectible Dolls line is not too popular with the mainstream collectors, but Medicom Toy nonetheless made some very impressive figures. Research Droids Reviews looks at one of their best and wonders if more will be forthcoming. Click the banner below for the direct link to the review!

We got another round of Q&A With JTA for you! Thank you for making this new column a success so far! Please continue to send us your questions! Click through to access the Q&A database with our second batch of questions!

Hot Topics: Ghosts of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, Rocket-Firing Boba Fett update, Comic Packs figures in The Vintage Collection, Saga Legends grievances and "Why can't figures in The Vintage Collection look more like the real vintage figures (like on the back of the card)?"

The recently found TRU exclusive Nikto Guard is now being given away for FREE with a $30 Star Wars purchase. As always, you can check out our review HERE on this very cool (but lacking) action figure!

The Rise Of Boba Fett Ultimate Battle Packs set is on sale this week at Toys R Us for $89.99! (If you want to learn more about this unbelievable set, check out our Research Droids Review on it HERE.)

One of the best mini busts ever made was a 2009 San Diego Comic Con exclusive and Research Droids Reviews absolutely goes bananas over how awesome it is! Have you at least checked out how "life like" it has been made? Then be sure to check out our photo gallery! Click the banner below for the direct link to the review!

If you've read our Research Droids Review on the new The Vintage Collection Clone Trooper (VC15) figure, you learned that the belts have been installed upside-down. We just found samples today where the belt is placed right side up and not only that, the yellowing in the helmet is gone as well in these same samples! We need to find a few more out there before we can make a judgment call, but this is very reassuring at the moment. Click through to check it out!

We are ultra late posting this and we apologize because it ends tonight, but thanks to all who wrote in about the various TRU specials going on. They include: $30 qualifying Star Wars purchase, get a $5 gift card, $50 qualifying Star Wars purchase, get a $10 gift card. Saga Legends/The Clone Wars figure are are two for $11.99.

You've read our previous report about when we contacted Hasbro about the Rocket-Firing Boba Fett debacle when the product arrived severely damaged to many collectors. And despite what we were told by Hasbro directly (that they would be unable to replace them unless the actual figures were damaged), we were amazed to find a special delivery on our doorsteps today. Click through to learn more about this amazing gesture.

Found! We found the "running change variant" Darth Vader from the Saga Legends line that our friends at Yakface.com first reported earlier this week. The 2005 500th Darth Vader is now shipping in place of the 2008 BD 8 figure (which is truly a shame). This new Vader is shipping alongside the Battle Droids and are hitting very heavily now. Click through for a close-up shot!

Found! We found the "fixed eyes" Battle Droids two-pack from the Saga Legends line that our friends at Yakface.com first reported earlier this week. These upgraded figures are hitting quite hard at every retail location and are well worth the money especially since they're now fixed. Click through for a close-up shot!

Research Droids Reviews gently loathes a Deluxe vehicle with figure that is "loosely" based on a scene in Season 1 of The Clone Wars. How does it rate? Well, we're afraid that our assessment is harsh. Click the banner below for the direct link to the review!
