It's here- mostly! A version of the teaser for the new Disney XD TV show, sans sound, was posted. Was it worth all of the hype, or any of it? No. But you can see a couple of ships, and a logo, after the jump. As a full version with sound gets posted, we'll update accordingly. UPDATE: Official version with sound now embedded.
It's time to open wide and let in a stream of Q&A! This week: Kmart exclusives! Yes, there are three of them and they're still coming. How about astromech cardbacks like we're seeing on Amazon - should we expect more? (Spoiler: no.) Also let's get off-topic and talk about some other things which may interest you - because filler!
A while ago on the Tumblr I posted a series of rambling, go-nowhere tales I called Toy Stories and now you people get to suffer through a few of them. Most of these yarns are spun around the well-worn topic of my aging into this hobby and watching most of the places I used to hunt go away, and tonight is no exception. One of the two Kmarts I frequented as a single-digits child (for those keeping track 3401 W Greenway Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85053) has a big "STORE CLOSING" banner up on it, and I had to go in to see if I could get some 90% off underpants. (This was not to be.) As a bonus, wouldn't you know it, the store is the new record holder of the oldest Hasbro Star Wars toy I've seen in the wild.
I really don't need to say much more than paste in the headline. Total Film posted J.J. Abrams apologises for over-using lens flare, which, well, yeah. There you go. The future Star Wars director received gentle ribbing and total ripping over his love of the camera effect,
It's Q&A time! Want to send Hasbro a letter? We have the address! Feel like dumping on the new Gunship? Well, sure. At least the price, anyway. And Stormtrooper changes are worth noting! Also, let's go off-topic because filler and I found a couple of figures that are so screamingly McQuarrie-esque I just had to tell you about them. All this and more when you read on - and be sure to send in your questions for next week!
If you're collecting, you no doubt know that the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Toys R Us Exclusive Republic Gunship is in stores now for $119.99. Hasbro has shown multiple iterations of which figures will be included - and now the Jedi Temple Archives posted a few shots.
Ad: Order New Hasbro Toys now at Entertainment Earth - including Saga Legends Star Wars, Transformers Generations Deluxe, and many more! Like the Saturday Night Live Schweddy Balls Christmas Ornaments and Walking Dead Daryl Dixon Figure & Motorcycle Deluxe Box Set. See more after the break, or click here.
It's Q&A time! Let's talk 3 3/4-inch figures and the chances of a new Captain Piett action figure in that scale. I'm just not all that hopeful there. Also, I clear out my mail bag - it's empty, so send or re-send your questions for next time!
WeLoveFine commemorates Star Wars Reads Day II with two exclusive shirts featuring Darth Vader and Boba Fett. Both shirts are 100% cotton and come in sizes small to 3XL for $25 each.
Our sponsors at BigBadToyStore have posted their latest offerings of pre-orders and IN STOCK items. Also don't forget to shop their end of summer sale going on now. Check out the full listing ahead!
The latest Star Wars expanded universe novel is Kenobi, a standalone story telling of the Jedi's arrival on Tatooine, including the locals and Tuskens with whom he tussles! The book is appeasing Star Wars fans worldwide, and now Arnie sits down with author John Jackson Miller to talk about this Western-inspired tale.
We rarely post about other action figure lines here, but the crossover potential was enough so that we had to mention this for you customizers. It's the return of the 1980s line Power Lords! The Four Horsemen (of ex-McFarlane and current Masters of the Universe Classics fame) put up two new Power Soldiers for pre-order on their store through Sunday afternoon. Each figure is $10 and is designed with Glyos-compatible limbs, which mean you can swap parts between figures, which means bully for your customizers. This pre-order is for the second run, due in November.
This week, there's a new Nintendo 3DS Star Wars Pinball game. It has three tables in the demo video seen here. One is all Boba Fett, another is The Clone Wars, and the other is The Empire Strikes Back. Could they have
