Disneyland - Star Wars Astromech Droid R2-B00 Awaits You

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, September 23, 2016

If you love droids - and let's be honest, if you don't, we can't be friends - you'll be excited and/or irritated to know that another in an ongoing series of cute Disney exclusive carded droids is up for grabs.  Only the second new one this year, R2-B00 is up for grabs at or near Disneyland now - check the stores in that general area and this green, purple, orange, and black droid can be yours for about $12.95.   For those keeping track - so far - as of right now - no new parts in the make-your-own-droid bins have surfaced, saving you all from mild heart attacks for a litle longer.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,278: Princess Leia Organa (The Black Series 3 3/4-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, September 22, 2016

The only new Leia from the new movie, Princess Leia Organa was a Walmart exclusive that, despite very strange eyebrows, is otherwise not bad.  Cloth bits, a decent sculpt, and better articulation than her outfit can make use of, if/when you find her she's the only game in town.  Hopefully we'll see a General Resistance/Vest version next.  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,277: First Order Stormtrooper (The Black Series 3 3/4-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, September 21, 2016

The First Order Stormtrooper was a pain to find last year when this 3 3/4-inch boxed figure debuted as a Walmart exclusive.  It still is, but it was back then, too.  He's got more joints and less gear than the other 3 3/4-inch releases, so is he worth it?  Read on!

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, September 8, 2016

If you love Star Wars and you love vinyl, there's something awesome coming September 30. Amazon posted a pre-order for a new, double LP set in a clear plastic jacket.
