Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,955

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, December 11, 2012

This AT-ST Driver was released a few months ago and is probably still at a Kmart near you. (That is, if there's a Kmart near you.)  It's based on the 2010 Target-exclusive release, but with Return of the Jedi-themed decoration and a sweller helmet.   If they were cheaper, I'd buy more.

Hasbro Re-Issues Vintage Collection Fan Favorites In 2013

By Mike — Tuesday, December 11, 2012

It's so hard to say goodbye, but Hasbro follows up on their plans to re-issue Vintage Collection action figures that were popular, like Starkiller and Shae Vizla, and others from 2012 waves (like more of the Red Kithaba variant). These are scheduled to distribute in February 2013, but based on recent sightings in the wild, some may be shipping to stores now.

It's CorpseyEr, Nanta!  This Ewok is best known as one of the dead Ewoks, and now he can be bought as a plastic exclusive at the Toys R Us.  Assuming they still have any.  You can tell where they were by the piles of unsold Yavin Pilot sets.  (Those are good too.)  Where was I?

ToysRUs Vintage Falcon 50% Off!

By Mike — Sunday, December 9, 2012

For folks waiting for a further price drop on the TRU exclusive Vintage Collection Millennium Falcon, it's even cheaper...like half off! The Vintage BMF is now on sale for $125 (regularly $249.99)! Get yours today by clicking here! UPDATE: Sadly, it looks like it was a snafu by TRU and the Falcon is once again back up to regular price. The M.T.T. was also marked down to $90 for a short while and is now back to the "regular" sale price of $125.99. If it's any consolation, the Vintage BMF is on sale this week for $199.99 (at least in stores, for now.) It was almost too good to be true that the BMF would be on a regular sale for that amount, but sometimes you gotta just jump on it before it's gone and done.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,953

Another Star Tours droid!  It's not orange, so this Red R3-Series Astromech Droid is different than the droid in the Legacy line a few years ago.  See the silver box around the black eye? That's how you can tell.

Recently released (and really the only animated toys of the season), Clone Trooper Boost is part of the just-released and also just-marked down to $15.11  As a redeco, you know what to expect... but at least it's a neat redeco and one that's priced to move right now.  Should you get it?

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,951

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, December 5, 2012

It's Ahsoka Tano, this time released with creepy brain worms.  Because it's the 201X-es, there are zombies in everything, even Star Wars.  This figure set became a de facto closeout exclusive and may be at a store near you on the cheap.  You'll have to go look.  But should you make the effort?

Galactic Hunter Video Theater Presents: The Clone Wars - Secret Weapons

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, December 4, 2012

This week on The Clone Wars: We kick off actual, genuine fun with "Secret Weapons." We know we're in for a departure this week because the "Clone Wars" logo was bright blue instead of the usual yellow. R2-D2 and a team of droids team up with a Republic tactician to obtain a widget from a separatist flagship. It's the best episode of the season. It may be the best episode of the series. I had a big, dumb grin on my face the entire time watching this one. More after the break. (Best. Episode. Ever.)

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,950

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, December 4, 2012

This Darth Maul was one of a few new sculpts cranked out this year, and as luck would have it I'm spying tons of these in Walmart 8-packs around town all of a sudden. It's a fun figure, and is a gem as 1/8 of a $25 set.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,949

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, December 3, 2012

This version of Ki-Adi-Mundi comes from a 2008 Battle Pack which many fans missed. It didn't get very good distribution, but it's not too expensive and it's a wonderful set full of robots and clones.  How can you go wrong?
