ToysRUs Vintage Falcon 50% Off!

By Mike — Sunday, December 9, 2012

For folks waiting for a further price drop on the TRU exclusive Vintage Collection Millennium Falcon, it's even cheaper...like half off! The Vintage BMF is now on sale for $125 (regularly $249.99)! Get yours today by clicking here! UPDATE: Sadly, it looks like it was a snafu by TRU and the Falcon is once again back up to regular price. The M.T.T. was also marked down to $90 for a short while and is now back to the "regular" sale price of $125.99. If it's any consolation, the Vintage BMF is on sale this week for $199.99 (at least in stores, for now.) It was almost too good to be true that the BMF would be on a regular sale for that amount, but sometimes you gotta just jump on it before it's gone and done.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,953

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, December 7, 2012

Another Star Tours droid!  It's not orange, so this Red R3-Series Astromech Droid is different than the droid in the Legacy line a few years ago.  See the silver box around the black eye? That's how you can tell.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,951

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, December 5, 2012

It's Ahsoka Tano, this time released with creepy brain worms.  Because it's the 201X-es, there are zombies in everything, even Star Wars.  This figure set became a de facto closeout exclusive and may be at a store near you on the cheap.  You'll have to go look.  But should you make the effort?

Galactic Hunter Video Theater Presents: The Clone Wars - Secret Weapons

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, December 4, 2012

This week on The Clone Wars: We kick off actual, genuine fun with "Secret Weapons." We know we're in for a departure this week because the "Clone Wars" logo was bright blue instead of the usual yellow. R2-D2 and a team of droids team up with a Republic tactician to obtain a widget from a separatist flagship. It's the best episode of the season. It may be the best episode of the series. I had a big, dumb grin on my face the entire time watching this one. More after the break. (Best. Episode. Ever.)

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,950

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, December 4, 2012

This Darth Maul was one of a few new sculpts cranked out this year, and as luck would have it I'm spying tons of these in Walmart 8-packs around town all of a sudden. It's a fun figure, and is a gem as 1/8 of a $25 set.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,949

This version of Ki-Adi-Mundi comes from a 2008 Battle Pack which many fans missed. It didn't get very good distribution, but it's not too expensive and it's a wonderful set full of robots and clones.  How can you go wrong?

Welcome to Galactic Hunter Q&A's 2012 Season Finale!  Let's talk playsets and the infusion of new product thanks to Christmas. We can also talk about Hasbro's greatest Star Wars hits while you watch me whine incessantly about figure and vehicle compatibility.  Oh, and robots.

Review: Star Wars - The Ultimate Action Figure Collection

By Mike — Saturday, December 1, 2012

For Star Wars fans and collectors, having a passionate advocate and steward like a Steve Sansweet, who also just happens to be the custodian of the largest Star Wars collection in the galaxy, is like catching lightning in a bottle. Not only does he have a collection you can never even dream of owning (let alone housing), but he can write, and write pretty well, of all the relevant events and collectibles from both a fan and collector standpoint because he bore witness to and collected most of them. Like E.F. Hutton, when Steve writes, every Star Wars fan should read.
