By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, September 14, 2014

What I presume are Star Wars Rebels spoilers await you - as well as new themes like the return of classic Pirates, new Elves, Bionicle, and returning favorites can be found on this page on Imgur.  New LEGO Microfighters, small vehicles, and absolutely nothing from the new movie awaits you.  Click here - or better yet, don't, as some of the sets are unfinished designs.

Star Wars Rebels - New Toys R Us Exclusive In Stores Now

By Adam Pawlus — Saturday, September 13, 2014

Despite having just reset recently, Toys R Us stores are re-resetting with a new area filled with Marvel and Star Wars - Hasbro and LEGO mixed - near their usual spot in the stores.  New toys are hitting right now, including the Mission Series: The Ghost set pictured here.  The Ezra Bridger and Kanan Jarrus figures are assumed similar (if not identical) to the regular releases, but you'll note that there's a blacked-out window there for a third figure.

LEGO Tops Mattel, Now #1 Toymaker

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, September 11, 2014

In a release on their own site, Global LEGO sales up 15 percent in first half of 2014.  What this means is that their upward momentum - having passed Hasbro a little while back - was furthered by the hit LEGO Movie just enough to snag the top spot.

Six Second Toy Talk: Star Wars The Black Series Walgreens Concept Armor Boba Fett Action Figure

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, September 8, 2014

The white-hot ticket this week is Walgreens' Boba Fett (Concept Armor) 6-inch action figure.  When you find it, it'll be $19.99 and near sick, sneezing, and otherwise happy people. The figure is a redecorated 2013 Boba Fett, which you may recall was an excellent toy for the price.  This white Boba Fett has unique armor that is colored differently than his 3 3/4-inch counterpart, which you will see in a video after the jump.

Q&A: Phantom Cockpit, Star Wars Big Figures, and Walgreens Complaining Galore

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, September 7, 2014

It's Monday, so let's look at Q&A! How is Walmart doing with their toy section? Well... it keeps getting smaller. Let's also talk about vehicles, bigger figures, and of course things we can't find because Hasbro didn't actually make them.

As always, send in your questions for next time. Read on!

Walgreens Star Wars 6-Inch Prototype Armor Boba Fett In Stores Now

By Adam Pawlus — Saturday, September 6, 2014

The Walgreens Boba Fett (Prototype Armor) 6-inch action figure is out now - most stores are getting partial cases and you won't see a variety at all locations.  In the past 72 hours I hit up about 16 locations and generally saw no more than 1-3 Star Wars figures of any kind at each location - for example, one store had 3 Boba Fetts in Glendale, AZ and nothing else.  Another had 2 Darth Vaders and nothing else.  And another had a single Sandtrooper, and that was it.  Only 3 of the stores had any 6-inch Star Wars figures yet, but this is a new-to-them line.

Lost Star Wars Droid Factory Carded Samples on eBay

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, September 5, 2014

While we prefer not to link to eBay auctions, the one for Star Wars Carded Unproduced Wave 1 2013 Droid Factory set of 12 unreleased was too good to pass up.  It's one of two known sets to exist - I've seen a couple of these up-close and know of only one privately held set - so if you want it, now is the time to cough up some dough. These are not the same exact ones on Amazon, although those figures are present - as are some of the first The Black Series wave 1 figures in their original packaging.

Q&A: Star Wars Rebels Street Dates, Old Kenner Figure Runs, Titanium and Command and You

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, August 31, 2014

It's Labor Day, but I don't get to stop Q&A because it means I'll die. Let's talk vintage Star Wars from the good old days - do you have any idea just how dang many of these things actually were made? A lot. And street dates, and how they will likely not impact your Rebels hunting. Hot Wheels? Don't mind if I do - all this and more await you this week! It's neat neat neat. I need lunch. Read on!

Also if you enjoyed Titanium Series 3-inch vehicles, you'll want to scroll down to the end.

3 Jumbo Kenner Figures for $100 - Gentle Giant Labor Day Special

By Adam Pawlus — Saturday, August 30, 2014

The Droid 3-Pack AFX Exclusive Kenner Jumbo Figures - Death Star Droid, R5-D4, and Power Droid - were boxed together with a swell background about a year ago.  Gentle Giant still has a few around and now it's a mere $100 for the set - basically three for the price of one.   While issues like "space" and "not having several thousand dollars" may keep people like you and me from collecting them all, $33.33 a pop is a swell deal.  Click through to see if they have any left.

Six Second Toy Talk: The Black Series Ree-Yees Action Figure

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, August 29, 2014

With three eyes, Ree-Yees has been one of the more recognizable aliens form the Star Wars saga since his 1983 action figure debut. Kenner refreshed him in 1998 and this 2014 edition is the first new one in over a decade. He's a big upgrade on almost every possible metric, minus a new ball joint in the waist popping apart easily which means he pretty much can't sit. However, he does have sculpted trigger fingers which was nothing short of amazing. Go ahead and get one. Also note cameos by Boba Fett and the previous Kenner Ree-Yees figures in Six Second Toy Talk, after the break.
