Someone is quitting and considering selling their collection again. World's tiniest violin. What's the deal with the new Vintage paint variants? Well, we have some information. And what about those Star Tours Droid Factory Figures? Sucks to be us now, doesn't it? And TIE Fighter fun can be yours. Read on!

It's called a good problem for Disney but less than ideal for vacationing collectors. Dan Curto is at Disney Star Wars Weekends and reported some changes with the Droid Factory packaging and availability of parts.

It looks huge as it should be and now showing up in the Philippines (Mabuhay!). Jedi Temple Archives has a report with photos comparing the size of the box and what's inside the new Class III MTT (Multi Troop Transport).

Kotobukiya announces their next release for the popular ARTFX+ assortment and it's a definite must have: Darth Vader  Return of Anakin Skywalker. The 1/10 scale ready to assemble  snap-fit kit features multiple interchangeable arms to pose him in a variety of ways and swappable heads for a helmeted and unhelmeted look.

Some larger photos of the upcoming K-Mart exclusive AT-ST Scout Walker have been posted for pre-order at Toy Palace. 

From our sponsors at Brian's Toys: This week sees a nice selection of vintage R2-D2 figures from Popy to Habert to Takara! Also, check out some of the price reductions on select vintage figures.

It's the new Captain Rex, which has exceptional deco and unexceptional articulation.  Just get a look at the amazing painted detail, and then try not to cringe when you realize he has no wrist joints.  Read on!

Want to know what the real deal is with that hard to find Kithaba variant? Is it even real or the product of some deviant customizers? We have an update for you!

While long-awaited, Daultay Dofine didn't top a bunch of wish lists.  The benefit of the long gap between his debut in the movies and his figure comes through in its great costume and articulation.  Read on!

Hasbro has released a couple of nice, clear photos of the Comic-Con International 2012 Star Wars Exclusive Carbonite Chamber multi-pack featuring an exclusive Vintage Collection Jar Jar Binks in Carbonite.

The Shaak Ti vs General Grievous "Hunt For The Jedi" Polystone Diorama is now up for pre-order by Sideshow for $349.99. Based on the 2005 Genndy Tartovosky Clone Wars "Battle of Hypori" episode (remember "Sha"Gi" Jedi?) this 1:8 scale polystone diorama is sure to be a stunner on display and scheduled for release in December.

Another version wasn't on my top priority list, but there's plenty to like about the new Clone Pilot, especially since he features new sculpting with re-used parts from previous figures that complement the upgrade. A few ROTS era pilots have been released for battle packs and Evolutions sets over the years  with varying degrees of quality. However, this well executed design partnered with some kit bashing and the appeal of a film scene specific representation makes VC97 pretty close to if not definitive.

From our sponsors at BBTS: Here is a quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about more great new preorders, new arrivals, and a new sale.

It's an Obi-Wan Kenobi!  This figure came from the Order 66 line of 2-packs, but isn't necessarily worth tracking down on its own merits. Want to know more? Read on!

Those teases at Sideshow posts a photo featuring the snow bitten feet of their forthcoming Sixth Scale Imperial Stormtrooper in Hoth Battle Gear.
