Sideshow has posted a great preview shot of the upcoming Premium Format Captain Rex. More photos will be revealed on their Production Blog on April 10th with hopefully some pre-order information posted at that time as well.
Let's get this out of the way. That cardback is infallible like a holy relic and brings geeky tears to my eyes. Having a Darth Vader on a Kenner Star Wars card brings back so many memories, it's like an old childhood friendship rekindled. The action figure, while not entirely perfect, is pretty awesome too.
Imperial Navy Commander? Death Star Trooper? Why not keep it traditional planet obliterating evil with Death Squad Commander? The cardback is beautifully and nostalgically Kenner and the figure itself is certainly the best iteration of this character yet.
The Atlanta Star Wars Collectors Club has posted on our Facebook page that the new Republic Dropship was found at a Walmart store in Acworth, Georgia! Thanks for the heads up guys!
Here is a quick update from http://www.bigbadtoystore.com about some cool new arrivals and a bunch of exciting new preorders.
Having debuted several weeks ago, I've seen Lando Calrissian out in the wild a few times now. As gear goes, he's fantastic. As coloring goes, he could use some sun. Want to know more? Read on!
Sideshow has posted a gallery of their upcoming Tusken Raider Sixth Scale figure. This piece looks pretty amazing from the photos and will be essential to complete that Original Trilogy Sixth Scale display.

I've been waiting for this Luke Hoth to ride the awesome Target Vintage Tauntaun. In many ways, he looks great, super articulated, and a decent head likeness. It's the opening scene from The Empire Strikes Back. How can you get any more iconic than that?
Darth Malgus is the bawz. He's like a Sebastian Shaw Anakin/Vader on super soldier serum. The antagonist of The Old Republic MMO is plasticized in all his Sith glory for The Vintage Collection and we've just added him to our Image Bank!
It's Clone Trooper Kix, one of very few Clone medics in the entire line. There are hundreds of these things, but doctors? Like one. What are they, disposable? Oh yeah, right. Hm. Anyway, go check him out!
