GHR has enjoyed my little break, but it's time to start hitting your local ToysRUs and K-Mart, hunters, as the new exclusives are out!

Hasbro may not have an exclusive for Celebration VI, but they still have something planned for their booth, including another Droid Factory Parts Swap. They also officially confirm the internet only exclusivity of Vintage Wave 7:

From our sponsors at Brian's Toys: Master Replica hilts and accessories have been restocked!  Get the hard-to-find replicas such as the Obi-Wan Kenobi ANH Weather saber, Jedi Training Remote, or a Thermal Detonator!  

The Rancho Obi-Wan Experience at Celebration VI will be selling memberships that will include a Celebration exclusive Yoda patch designed by Jerry Vanderstelt. It is the perfect companion patch for the Obi-Wan Kenobi patch that members have already received with their membership kit.

Here's the final wave of Star Tots characters that will be given away at Celebration VI, and lo and behold, I want that Blue Snaggletooth!

Former Disney artist Jason Peltz has created another creative marriage of two beloved franchises. From Jellystone to Jabba's Palace, these two have seen it all and they'll take on The Empire for a Pic-a-nic Basket. "Smarter Than The Average Smugglers" is a high quality limited edition run of 100 prints that will be available for 24 hours only and ends tomorrow morning at 8 am PST.

Celebration is in two weeks, and for collectors the time to prepare your shopping lists has come! The store list has been revealed, and pre-orders are being taken by Acme Archives and Gentle Giant. From T-Shirts to statues to jumbo figures, magnets, and more! On this week's Star Wars Action News podcast, Marjorie and Arnie run down the list.

If you ask me, and most people do, there's nothing more exciting than a new 1980s Expanded Universe figure. ESPECIALLY if it's an Ewok like Kneesaa, new to stores this week! How is she? Read on!

This year at Comic-Con 2012 Super 7 had a bunch of surprises, two of which were 3 3/4-inch 1979-style Kenner Alien action figures, and the other was a stunning all-new wax pack of trading cards (pictured) with promo cards on olde tyme cardboard.  And guess what? They're doing more at Celebration VI!

New pre-orders up from our sponsors at BigBadToyStore including the amazing Medicom RAH Darth Vader V 2.0 , Legend of Zelda, Ghost Recon and much more!

Check out Bib Fortuna, the 2004 repaint of the 1997 figure.  At first glance they're identical, but oh no, they are not! New paint and other tweaks make this one just different enough to make you mad.  Read on!

You can now pre-order and army build the new Vintage Collection Royal Guard via Amazon.com for $12.99 each. Also pre-order the rest of Wave 7 that includes Nien Nunb, Republic Trooper, Weequay, Ahsoka, Clone Wars Obi-Wan, and Lumat! These are expected to ship on November 30th. 

The new Darth Vader isn't as new as it was... but this light-up lightsaber release may still be tough to find.  Is it worth tracking down?  Read on!

Out of all the scene specific Vader's, an "Emperor's Wrath" is probably one of the more symbolic in the saga. Perhaps this figure should have been badged as "Redemption" Vader, though it doesn't have as cool a tone. This is the third Force Lightning energized 'Wrath" Vader in the line (although "Emperor's Wrath" as a sub-moniker isn't mentioned on either card variant), the first as far back as 2000's Power of the Jedi. The Vintage Collection version includes a detachable hand, Force Lightning effects, and what's become a signature look for this scene specific figure; a transparent helmet.

It's R5-D4!  The figure is a new one, with improved paint over the 2012 release.  Is this Target exclusive worth re-buying? I think so.  Read on!
