Our Hasbro Comic-Con Image Bank is updated with new shots of the upcoming final 4 Comic Packs exclusive to Entertainment Earth. They include Darth Nihl and Deliah Blue (Legacy #7), Jaster Mereel and Montross (Open Seasons #2), Jareal and Rohland Dyre (KOTOR #6), and Baron Fel and Ysanne Isard (Rogue Squadron #29).
Here's a link to a .PDF version of Hasbro's collector panel presentation. (It's a large download.) Also, here are just a mere few of the "Best-In-Show" highlights. (The real Best-In-Show or Beast-In-Show, Jabba-The-Hutt, was curiously missing from the panel despite being on actual display.) He's just that large and in-charge. (It's probably Oola's fault!) On with the show! (Beware of large downloads!)
Hasbro is giving away a Vintage Collection Boba Fett proof card today at their Comic-Con booth with Han Solo in his Echo Base outfit the card to be given out Sunday.

Hey kids, it's Bail Organa! This 2008 version was not hugely popular and may be available at a store near you for under five bucks. I should note, he has a pretty pimpin' gown going on there, I think, or maybe it's just a space robe. Should you get him? Read on!
As if all of the crazy Comic-Con coverage EVERYWHERE isn't exciting enough, Diorama Maestro Frank "NiubNiub" D'Iorio has uploaded the THIRD Sneak Peek Celebration V Tutorial! It's a Padawan Level one-hour construction of the "3 Archway Wall". Basically it's a facade for the "U" and "L" Style Hallways. However, at the end of the video we actually start to see just how all of these fan-made pieces are going to fit together! Take notes!
As if you need anymore reason to do frequent passes at the Hasbro Comic-Con booth. You now have two more.
