It's here-- already!  The newest wave of Vintage Action Figures is starting to show up at online retailers like sponsor Entertainment Earth.

The case includes the following 12 action figures, including a few holdovers from Wave 7:

There have been many, many versions of Captain Rex and this one, from a 2010 ARC Troopers Battle Pack, is likely the hardest to get.  He has a unique helmet and gun, for starters-- so should you get it? Read on!

This Anakin Skywalker was one of the better ones. Lots of joints, a good amount of detail, and yes-- he can fit in your vehicles.  This, friends, is what matters!  Read on!

It's another Clone Trooper Fives figure!  He's got a fancy helmet with neat deco which is a little off-center.  I still like it though-- read on!

If all that weren't enough, the very charming LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace TV special is coming to home video at Wal-Mart this week.  It's $13.00 and includes young Han Solo-- the same figure was handed out as a promo item at Comic-Con, if you were very lucky or in the right place.  Just click here to pre-order, or wait to hit up Wal-Mart this weekend when you get your 2 gallon pickle jar, rubber gloves, AAA batteries, and/or sack of peanut M&Ms. 

I rant a little about the Blu-Ray releases of the week! We talk about mail-in offer order forms and more swap-outs! And is it time to reboot Star Wars completely? All this and more, just read on!

Also important: Cartoon Network has two episodes of The Clone Wars airing this coming Friday, and it seems we're being treated to a massive quantity of water battles.  Be sure to set your DVRs!

In stores right now is the Droid Attack on the Coronet, exclusive to Toys R Us stores and retailing for $24.99.  But if you only look in the big display in the front of the store, you'll miss it.
